Integrating theories of intersectional power, learning, and change to explore faculty experiences on equity-centered change projects
A review of teacher implemented scaffolding in K-12
Although scaffolding—often in the form of help from a teacher—supports students to achieve more than they can do on their own, prior reviews have not focused on the role of the teacher in scaffolding. Using a systematic review, we categorized 41 articles by mode (hard or soft) and contingent processes (ongoing diagnosis, responsiveness, fading). We found that most studies took place at an elementary level, most often in language arts, and most in…
Facilitating an Interprofessional Course on Climate Change and Public Health Preparedness
In this paper, we share the theories that guided the design of an interprofessional education course on Climate Change and Public Health Preparedness and how the course supported students' professional interest and action competence as they move through their education and into their professional work in the context of our unfolding climate crisis. The course was guided by the public health emergency preparedness domains and was built to allow fo…
Guiding change in higher education
While university change initiatives have become more common in the face of changing learner needs and higher education funding, many fail to produce desired effects, even when guided by organizational change models. The purpose of this study was to document a successful change process in an engineering department at a Hispanic-serving institution in the southwestern United States. The change effort focused on enhancing faculty capacity to support…
Fostering heterogeneous engineering through whole-class design work
Background: Design problems have long attracted researchers’ attention for their potential to provide authentic learning opportunities. While we have methods for supporting students to learn through relatively simple engineering and design tasks, supporting students to address complex problems that they find and frame remains poorly understood. Designing for the real world presents opportunities to understand how heterogenous engineering practice…
