Collaborative learning is an educational approach that involves two or more people who learn while working together on a joint task in order to achieve a common goal (for example, to solve a problem or to design a product) (Dillenbourg, 1999a). Collaborative learning builds on the idea that learning is a social…

Cognitive abilities are foundational to complex tasks, which may be also important in complex project-based teaching. However, the role of teachers’ cognitive abilities in project-based teaching is still unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between teachers’ cognitive abilities and…

When executed well, project-based learning (PBL) engages students' intrinsic motivation, encourages students to learn far beyond a course's limited curriculum, and prepares students to think critically and maturely about the skills and tools at their disposal. However, educators experience mixed results when using PBL…

'Gil Zussman'] Abstract—The modern engineering landscape increasingly requires a range of skills to successfully integrate complex systems. Project-based learning is used to help students build professional skills. However, it is typically applied to small teams and small efforts. This paper describes an experience in…

The development of ICT has emerged a new way of learning using electronic platforms: E-learning. In addition, pedagogical approaches have been adopted in teaching based on group learning, such as the project-based teaching. The project-based teaching is an active learning method, based on group work to develop skills…

— This work presents an agent-based simulation (ABS) of the active learning process in an Electrical Engineering course. In order to generate input data to the simulation, an active learning methodology developed especially for part-time degree courses, called Project-Based Learning Agile (PBLA), has been proposed and…

The term STEM refers to teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is a very broad concept that includes education across all grade levels: starting from kindergarten and finishing in post-doctorate studies. STEM education is also transversal: is applied in formal (e.g.…

High-quality education helps in finding a job - but student skills heterogeneity and student reluctance to move towards a professional attitude are important barriers to employability. We re-engineered some of the technical courses of a Masters in software development using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach.…

Project-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as an effective way to teach complex biology concepts. However, not all institutions have the resources to facilitate effective project-based coursework for students. We have developed a framework for facilitating PBL using remote-controlled internet-connected…

The multi-disciplinary nature of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers often renders difficulty for high school students navigating from classroom knowledge to post-secondary pursuits. Discrepancies between the knowledge-based high school learning approach and the experiential approach of…

Active teaching methodologies have been placed as a hope for changing education at different levels, transiting from passive lecture-centered to student-centered learning. With the health measures of social distance, the COVID-19 pandemic forced a strong shift to remote education. With the challenge of delivering…

In philosophy and science, a first principle is a basic proposition or assumption that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption. Ancient Greek philosophy Aristotle defined the first principle as “the first basis from which a thing is known.” First principles thinking (or reasoning from first…

A call for the integration of research experiences into all biology curricula has been a major goal for educational reform efforts nationally. Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have been the predominant method of accomplishing this, but their associated costs and complex design can limit their…

The teaching-learning process in traditional university education uses strategies that position the student as a recipient of information conveyed by the teacher and conceptualized as knowledge. The reality in which we live, including the characteristics of new generational groups, requires the generation of training…

Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden…

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful paradigm that has gained popularity across multiple domains. However, applying RL may come at a cost of multiple interactions between the agent and the environment. This cost can be especially pronounced when the single feedback from the environment is slow or computationally…
