▼ The concept of sustainable design as a specialism within design, business and manufacture is not a new one. Writers and educators such as Victor Papanek (Papanek 1971) and
Buckminster Fuller (Fuller and Snyder 1969) were advocating a change in the way we taught students how to design and look at the world in which they live. In parallel with this, many other experts (Carson 1962; Lovelock 1979) were highlighting the difficulties being caused by
industrialisation and global trade in the natural environment. Issues such as the dramatic impact of the global population on ecosystems; the strains on the global and local economic systems and the challenges meted by social inequity were starting to be raised by scientists,
economists and even designers as early as the 1960s. These are now finally accepted as real problems for today's students and professionals and for the world as a whole. They now provide clear opportunity both to graduates and to businesses as fields in which they can provide and develop expertise with a view to mitigating past and future problems. This research grew out of an opportunity to examine how students and professionals learn to
contextualise their design training through a sustainable design lens. Over a five year period from 2004-09 the research sought to evaluate how the learner understands and· applies their knowledge and skills and to begin the process of developing a sustainable design mindset.
Through the development of a series of case studies the research goes on to develop learning strategies that can assist the learner to work in a multidisciplinary environment and to develop a sustainable literacy with their colleagues from non design disciplines.
The work outlined here deals with how undergraduate students learn about sustainable design in a studio based environment over an extended period. It looks at the use of elearning, multidisciplinary project work, live projects and the mixing students with professionals all through the vehicle of sustainable design. The research also develops a number of strategies for assisting both SME (Small and
Medium Enterprises) and practicing design professionals to learn about sustainable design. These strategies encourage the professionals to look at sustainability in a holistic manner and to develop a personal understanding about how it can influence their business and their design practice.
The principal research question is: How can the third level effectively educate students, SMEs and professionals in sustainable design so as to be able to apply their knowledge, skills and competencies to design and industry practice in an effective manner within a complex and rapidly changing world paradigm? This body of research is a first comprehensive comparison of how undergraduate students, SME professionals and design professionals learn about sustainable design. It develops a number of learning strategies and proposes a sustainable design learning model based on the findings of the applied research.

▼ The interior
design (ID) profession has been evolving and changing over time. Through decades, the literature has proven that
design employers have different competencies, attributes, and characteristics expected from entry-level interior designers (Baker & Sondhi, 1989; Douthitt & Hasell, 1985; Hernecheck, Rettig, & Sherman, 1983; Scarton, 2012) due to the advancement of technology and improving body of knowledge in the profession. Not only does the
design profession change and evolve over time, but so does the interior
design accreditation guidelines produced by the Council for Interior
Design Accreditation. Thus, there is an increasing need to examine interior
design students’ knowledge and skills to make sure they meet the expected competencies sought by the labor market. Due to lack of an interior
design accreditation body in Kuwait, the
design competencies expected from entry-level designers have not been investigated.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether interior
design students in Kuwait possess compliant knowledge and skill areas sought by global
design firms. This study will have a significant impact on helping the interior
design faculty in Kuwait identify the deficiencies existing in knowledge and skills of their students in the context of competencies sought by global
design firms.
A non-experimental, descriptive, quantitative approachs was adopted for this study, involving a one-shot measurement of knowledge and skill levels. The study used the knowledge levels of students graduating from Texas Tech University (TTU)in the United States of America (USA) to serve as the baseline for comparison of ID students studying at the College f Basic
Education (CBE) in Kuwait . The methodology of this research consists of two areas: measuring students’ knowledge and examining student’s
design skills.
A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to senior ID students at CBE and TTU. The knowledge areas that were used in the survey were adapted from the Interior
Design Fundamental Exam (IDFX) section in the National Council for Interior
Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam. In order to examine
design students’ skills, senior
design projects were collected and evaluated by six jurors (n= 6) who determined whether ID students at CBE are graduating with the skills level expected from entry-level interior designers in the USA. An online survey, using Survey Qualtrics, was used to collect the needed information. Students’
design projects were attached to the project evaluation sheet, and participants (is it participants or practitioners?) were asked to evaluate them based on specific
design guidelines adopted from Council for Interior
Design Accreditation (CIDA) standards.
The findings of the study illustrated that ID students at CBE possessed deficiencies in ten
design skills that were not compliant with what is expected from entry-level interior designers. Nevertheless, they met the average expected skill level in one
design area, which was designing an appropriate spatial layout. Four

▼ The thesis work aims at improving the learning environments of the Kindergarten classrooms in the United States by taking inspiration from a very simple and popular play element namely the ‘blocks’. The classroom environments and learning methods have not seen a significant change since the time of the Industrial Revolution. The essence of school
education remains the same, which is expected to be a closed classroom, conventional furniture and the teacher determining the learning activities. With the changing times, as new studies on multiple styles of learning and brain functions emerge, there is a need to customize
education and cater to every individual’s need as everyone learns differently.
Classroom learning is heavily dependent on the furniture being used, and if the furniture is big and bulky, the teachers and students become restricted in their movement, which also confines learning. The thesis aims at reversing this effect. Rather than furniture dictating the classroom
education, the thesis looks at making the furniture flexible enough to accommodate all kinds of activities and support multiple learning styles. Furniture integrated with play blocks makes the environment playful, exciting, provides for flexible learning and free movement; and in the process, accommodate different learning styles.

▼ What if a computer wasn’t necessarily the best place for kids to learn the fundamentals of coding? A new wave of digital coding teaching tools has been ushered into America, with the country progressively gaining more interest in having kids learn code. The goal of this project has been to propose an alternative teaching method, one focused and tailored to students who learn best through kinesthetic and visual means. The approach has been to combine tangible interaction principles to help make the introductory stages of learning code as approachable and intuitive as possible. The final result of this thesis is a modular toy system which gradually introduces kids to the fundamentals of coding independent of a computer, prompting exploration and problem solving.

▼ A significant amount of literature postures the effectiveness of project-based learning as a teaching strategy to raise student achievement, especially students who are low performers on traditional test-taking instruments. Project-based learning engages students in active and responsible learning (Buck Institute for Education, 2011; Harada, Kirio, & Yamamoto, 2008). The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact project-based learning had on academic achievement. A constructivist point of view, where the participants of the study immersed themselves into the activity, and constructed new meaning (Brooks & Brooks, 1993), informed this study. The scope encompassed twenty students, conveniently selected from grades K through 5 at a private educational facility in South Florida. The methodology used to conduct the study was a qualitative research strategy embedded in grounded theory analysis, an inductive and systematic system built upon the consistent comparative method, and simultaneous data collection (Babchuk, 2009), to gather information to answer the research questions. Consistent with the characteristics of grounded theory, where emergent tenets evolve, data were collected, codified, and analyzed. Limitations of the study included the small population sample of 20 students, and the location of the study at a private school, compared with a public school where the sample size could have been larger. Results from this study indicated the need to expand the literature on project-based arguments, and broaden discussion opportunities. Significant recommendations for education leaders, educators, parents, and students to focus on academic achievement for students who are academically challenged were included in this work. Key words: grounded theory, constructivist, project-based-learning, student achievement, academic achievement, emergent, academically challenged

▼ The shift from focusing on a single discipline to focusing on multiple disciplines is a challenge for instructional designers who are likely to encounter increased difficulties relating to subject matter experts who are accustomed to working within their individual content areas. This qualitative case study describes the communication conflicts experienced among an instructional designer and three graduate-level faculty members of a higher education institution that prepares students for healthcare professions. Different methods of data collection were utilized including direct observation, interviews, and document analysis as a means of corroborating the study's findings. The guiding research questions focused on determining the main sources of communication conflict experienced by the instructional designer and three subject matter experts, understanding how the instructional design team members handled conflict, and identifying the particular conflict resolution styles employed by the team members. Study findings were consistent with the literature on interpersonal conflict and the use of five conflict resolution styles—avoidance, competition, accommodation, compromise, and collaboration. Specifically, findings revealed 39 common conflicts experienced by the participants. Of the total 39 conflicts, 34 were related to content and 5 were relational in nature. The approach most commonly used by participants to handle conflict during four instructional design (ID) meetings was fractionation. During the first, third, and fourth ID meetings, participants employed the use of fractionation to deal with conflicts. Differentiation was the most common approach employed by participants to handle conflict during the second ID meeting.

▼ This qualitative study examined low achieving online learners' uses of social self-regulated learning strategies. Research has shown that low achieving online learners lack strategies for self-regulated learning, which directly relates to their lack of achievement. Social self-regulated learning strategies examined in this study included help seeking, social comparison and social interactions. As learners constructed meaning and struggled with content, interactions between learners and peers, the instructor/instructor's assistant, technical support, and materials facilitated the process. Low achieving online learners resisted utilizing social self-regulated learning strategies. However, according to the research, little data was collected from low achieving online learners directly. This study asked low achieving online learners to describe their experiences, through semi-structured interviews. Barriers to social self-regulated learning strategies included poor attitudes, internet addiction, and exterior blame, according to the research. Self-regulated learning, in general, is linked to higher achievement. This study found that low achieving online learners lacked the use of social self-regulated learning strategies. Additionally, participants lacked help seeking behaviors, experienced social isolation, and held negative views of their classmates and instructor. The findings in this study may assist instructional designers to increase opportunities for social self-regulated learning in online courses, which may, in turn, increase achievement.

The principal research question is: How can the third level effectively educate students, SMEs and professionals in sustainable design so as to be able to apply their knowledge, skills and competencies to design and industry practice in an effective manner within a complex and rapidly changing world paradigm? This body of research is a first comprehensive comparison of how undergraduate students, SME professionals and design professionals learn about sustainable design. It develops a number of learning strategies and proposes a sustainable design learning model based on the findings of the applied research.

▼ College students generally engage in little physical activity in traditional college classrooms. It is common for students to sit in chairs for long periods of time while experts lecture on the course material, which further contributes to the sedentary behavior of students. However, this author believes that the built environment has the potential to increase physical activity and accommodate salutogenic design (active design) approaches to learning. This approach could allow students to construct their own knowledge with the teacher serving as a facilitator and provide an opportunity to incorporate greater physical movement within the classroom. Research was conducted by recruiting higher education students majoring in Education and Interior Design at Florida State University. The primary research question for this study was, “What are the perceptions and preferences of higher education students for furniture that accommodates a variety of sitting and standing postures within classrooms utilizing behaviorist and constructivist pedagogies?” Study participants interacted with different furniture samples that offered various learning postures, and then participated in a survey to identify student perception. The resulting data brought to light that students have an opinion when it comes to what type of posture is best for their specific learning environment. Participants stated that they would feel valued by their university if offered a choice within the classroom. Additionally, students confirmed that each individual learns differently and are unique. Also, participants had a preference for furniture type by time of day, location within the classroom, and teaching strategy. The study’s original research results were applied to a redesign of a hypothetical higher education building of Turner Hall at Illinois State University. The designed spaces included classrooms, collaboration areas, media centers, a café, and public spaces. The resulting design project showed not only that the presence of multiple furniture types in classrooms is possible, but also explored a broader building environment dedicated to the premise of salutogenic design in its space planning and amenities.

▼ The purpose of the study was to investigate whether storytelling can be utilized as an instructional strategy to enhance undergraduate learners’ critical thinking outcomes in an online general education Cinema course in the community college setting. The documented inability of undergraduate online learners to display adequate critical thinking skills in general education courses was identified as the area in need of further scholarly investigation. Storytelling served as the instructional strategy of choice due to its unifying quality of communicating information while creating memorable and lasting experiences. The research question guiding this project asked whether there is a difference between the critical thinking outcomes of undergraduate learners enrolled in an online general education Cinema course who are exposed to storytelling as an instructional strategy and learners who are not. The quasi-experimental quantitative design was employed to collect the participants’ critical thinking outcomes. Two sections of an <i>Introduction to Cinema</i> course, taught by the same instructor, were selected; one section served as the experimental group and the other section as the control group. The Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal II (Watson-Glaser II) measurement instrument was used as an end of semester assessment. The participants were undergraduate online general education learners. The independent samples <i>t-</i>test was utilized to compare the means of two unrelated groups with the independent variable consisting of two categorical, independent groups. The findings revealed that there was no significant difference between the critical thinking outcomes of the experimental and control groups. Nevertheless, the mean of the experimental group’s critical thinking scores was higher than that of the control group and the standard deviation suggested a smaller range. Thus, there are indicators that if the number of the experimental group participants had been larger, there would have been a different result.

▼ Choice architecture, a term coined in the 2008 book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by behavioral scientist Richard H. Thaler and professor of law Cass R. Sunstein, is the belief that no choice can be neutral because the way in which a choice is presented influences the decision-maker. Designers, perfectly positioned to structure choices in both print and digital format, should equally embrace this role and handle it with great responsibility. Rather than use the power to structure choice architecture to bolster consumerism, we should instead harness the opportunity to help individuals make choices that improve their health, finances, relationships, and prospects - thereby creating change that could scale to families, communities, states, and even entire nations. This project is an exploration of the ways a designer can structure the choice architecture for the first major life decision many young folks face - which college to attend. Considered within the context of the current West Virginia college landscape, and using qualitative and quantitative data gathered from a group representing the target audience, the project provides a model for leading students through the complex process of evaluating options and making a decision that is best suited to their situation, without encroaching on their freedom of choice.

▼ The primary purpose of conducting this research was to establish game assessment guidelines and characteristics for integrating elected characteristics of games into ongoing instructional approaches. The cost of repurposing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) games could offer a considerably lower cost alternative than the cost of creating a new instructional game developed for a specific instructional goal. The McNeese Game Assessment Tool (MGAT), created for the assessment of games in this usability study, is currently in a beta stage and was found to have potential for future game assessment. The overall assessment indicated that the tool was effective in analyzing game products for reuse potential and that the five instruments that make up the tool did meet the purpose of the
design. However, the study also indicated that the instruments needed recommended modifications and further testing with a larger population group before the tool could be utilized. The assessment process identified in this study was a step forward in the area of game and simulation integration research. This study indicated that more research is needed in the area of instructional
design to enhance instructional integration goals for future game, simulation and training applications.

▼ This study sought to identify the instructional strategies used by developmental mathematics instructors in Missouri’s public 2-year colleges to engage students in the learning process, determine the cognitive complexity of the instructional strategies, and find out the support needed by these instructors to engage their students in the learning process. A sequential mixed method design was employed in which quantitative and qualitative data was collected. Initial participants in this study included developmental mathematics instructors from all 13 of Missouri’s 2-year public community colleges, making for a total of 494 instructors. Quantitative data statistical analysis was completed on the demographic data, as well as on the rating and implementation of recommended instructional strategies using the <i>Qualtrics</i> survey tool. Qualitative analysis was completed on the instructor descriptions of strategies for engaging students in the learning process. Additionally, three participants were chosen from the survey for case study analysis in which three observations, post-observation interviews, and artifact collections were used to obtain more extensive qualitative data. Results indicate that developmental mathematics instructors describe the methods they use to engage students in the learning process comparably to those instructional strategies as recommended by the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC, 2006) to promote active learning, while also including additional strategies. How the instructors rated the instructional strategies as recommended by AMATYC (2006) are given in depth. An overview of the instructional strategies employed by three instructors who were observed, and the cognitive complexity of the tasks and questions used in these instructional strategies is given. Furthermore, recommendations are given for the support needed by developmental mathematics instructors to aid them in engaging their students in the learning process. Implications are offered for the (1) AMATYC (2006) Framework, (2) Professional development on discovery-based learning, (3) Professional development on cognitive complexity of tasks and questions, and (4) Support needed to implement instructional strategies.

▼ The purpose of this quantitative comparative study was to evaluate the Positive Alternative Credit Experience (PACE) Program using an objectives-oriented approach to a formative program evaluation. The PACE Program was a semester-long high school alternative education program designed to serve students at-risk for academic failure or dropping out and was operated by a large suburban school district located in St. Louis, Missouri. The outcome objectives of the program were to improve student success as measured by (a) an increase in grade point average (GPA), (b) an increase in attendance rate, (c) a decrease, or elimination of out-of-school suspension (OSS) rate, and (d) a decrease or elimination of dropout rate. Outcome data collected from a sample of students who attended the PACE Program in 2008-2009 were compared to outcome data collected from a Matched Sample of students with matching descriptive and demographic characteristics who did not participate in the program in 2008–2009. Data analysis determined if there was a significant difference in measured student success when comparing the PACE Sample (students who attended the PACE Program and subsequently returned to their home schools for one semester), with a Matched Sample (students who attended a traditional high school during this same timeframe). Purposive sampling was used to select the PACE Sample, and stratified random sampling was used to select the Matched Sample. The PACE Sample of 36 students was comprised of a Semester I PACE Cohort of 18 students and a Semester II PACE Cohort of 18 students. The Matched Sample and Semester I and II Matched Cohorts were identical in size. When the descriptive and demographic characteristic variables of the PACE and Matched Cohorts and Samples were statistically compared, there were no significant differences on the descriptive characteristic variables of cumulative GPA, attendance rate, and OSS rate. The descriptive characteristic variable of current GPA of the Matched Sample was significantly higher, however, than the current GPA of the PACE Sample. When demographic characteristic variables of the PACE and Matched Samples were statistically compared there were no significant differences in grade level, ethnicity, residence, gender, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) status, and Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL) status. The results of data analysis did not show statistically significant differences in the outcome variables of GPA (cumulative and current), attendance rate, and OSS rate of the PACE or Matched Samples. However, when the outcome variable of dropout rate was analyzed, there was a statistically significant increase in the dropout rate of the Matched Sample. The results of data analysis also revealed that the Matched Sample had a higher dropout when compared to the PACE Sample, and this difference was also statistically significant.

▼ Service-learning, an experiential learning and teaching pedagogy, provides students and teachers the opportunity to take classroom knowledge and put it to work in real world applications in the greater community. This qualitative case study dissertation explored the expected and unexpected outcomes of a service-learning program at an urban charter high school. Through a review of current literature, the history of service-learning is traced from its modern roots to present day incarnations. Grounded in the overlapping frameworks of pragmatic constructivist theory and practice, and service-learning with a social justice model, best practices were examined through interviews and focus groups of current students and students who have completed the SL program. The findings to the three research questions suggested: The expected outcomes addressed activism, awareness, and social development; the unexpected outcomes spoke to the development of interpersonal transformations surpassing expectations and agency, unexpected content-based outcomes, and unexpected abstract outcomes; the implementation data focused on the need for institutional support and adaptability. Recommendations for future implementation were also discussed.

▼ A sample of digital media undergraduates participated in this investigation of students' understanding and perception of student-centered learning and how they demonstrated the three orientations of the <i>Approaches to Study Inventory</i>, achieving, meaning, and reproducing. The 32 study participants were queried on their understanding of the definitions of SCL, on their perceptions of the purpose of SCL, and on their understanding of the effect of SCL on their education and their preparation for the real world. The data gathered indicated a string understand and perception to the definitions, purpose and effects of student-centered learning. The study revealed high scores on the SCL instrument; ranging from 85% to 95% (agreed) on how the participants understood and perceived the definitions, purpose, and effect of student-centered learning. Individual areas within each SCL category (definition, purpose, and effect) included flexibility, individuality, responsibility, depth of learning, motivation, efficiency of learning, and preparing the student for the real world and job skills. The data gathered from the ASI on the achieving, meaning, and reproducing orientations were consistent with empirical data from previous studies that used the ASI instrument (Berberoglu and Hei, 2003; Gibbs, 1992; Lea, Stephenson, and Troy, 2003). Participant had scores ranging from 13.0 to 14.7 on the ASIs achieving, reproducing, and meaning orientations. These were average scores based on the empirical data (Entwistle & Ramsden, 1983, Entwistle & Tait, 1994; Sadler-Smith, 1999). Overall the digital media undergraduates were in agreement with the definitions and the purpose of SCL. They also agreed that SCL positively affected their education and their preparation for the real world. Participants' ASI scores were within the mean score for each orientation (achieving, meaning, and reproducing).

▼ In the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) era of accountability teachers are required to meet the needs of students who come from diverse backgrounds and ability levels. Teachers are receiving more mandates and many teachers are adopting teacher-leader roles to adapt to the ever-changing requirements of their expanding roles. Differentiated instruction is the vehicle for educational reform and teachers must implement differentiated instruction proactively to maximize student potential. This qualitative phenomenological study explored perceptions and lived experiences of 20 tenured New York City secondary education English Language Arts teachers regarding implementing the differentiated instruction approach. The study focused on (a) teachers’ self-perception as instructional leaders, (b) teacher application of differentiated instruction, and (c) obstacles and enablers of practice. Findings of the study indicated that while teachers have a positive impression of differentiated instruction, few believe in its feasibility because of the time and workload involved. The results also indicated that teachers fail to collect data about student potential and lack knowledge about the approach and how to manage it. Teachers identified administrative mandates and ineffective professional development as obstacles and administrative accountability measures and support as enablers of implementing the approach.

▼ Writing is an essential skill that students need in order to become successful in school and beyond. Within a school district in the southwestern United States, student writing scores were not at proficient levels, and students were not prepared for graduation or employment. The purpose of this quasi-experimental research study was to compare the distribution of student writing achievement scores for 5th grade teachers who used 7 or more of the 11 components of effective writing instruction outlined by Graham and Perin to those teachers who implemented 6 or fewer of these components. In this study, a survey was given to 35 teachers from the lowest and highest performing schools in each performance zone or geographic cluster of schools across the school district, to discover how many of the components from Graham and Perin's model were used. The results of this project study were insignificant and indicated that the number and frequency of strategies were not related to student proficiency as measured by the state's writing proficiency exam. Results from this study will be shared with district leaders in a white paper report. The report includes recommendations to create a district-based writing framework with research-based instructional strategies. Although the results from this study were insignificant, the results have added to the body of knowledge in writing instruction. The white paper report can be used as a foundation for teachers, principals, and curriculum developers to improve writing instruction and achievement in this and other school districts.

▼ A multiple case study research design was used to focus on an in-depth examination of four high school students' perceptions of multiple instructional options at a California charter school. The study provided an information rich exploration of individual students' points of view of how using multiple instructional options met their needs as learners, snapshots of their experiences with these options of delivery and instructor combinations, and their perceptions of the transitional challenges experienced coming from either a home schooling or a traditional setting. This charter high school was chosen for this study on the basis of its use of a unique combination of instructional options. In-depth interviews of four student participants were conducted. Observations of monthly meetings with the advisory teacher, home educator, and student and student documents were also sources of data. Findings emerging from this study revealed an overarching theme along with 4 theme patterns representative of the collected data. The overarching theme spoke to the dual theoretical framework of learner-centered principles and the theory of self-determination. The theme patterns pointed to the students' perceptions, experiences, and opinions about the multiple instructional options program: (a) freedom of choice, (b) flexibility, (c) meeting of individual learners' needs, and (d) ownership of education. The results of this study indicated that the use of multiple instructional options addressed and met each student's unique combination of learning needs, e.g., individual personalities, emotional needs, family values, and educational backgrounds, through the choices they experienced with the use of multiple instructional options available at the charter high school.

▼ Academically dishonest behaviors pose a major threat to education. High rates of cheating have been reported at all levels of education, and by most accounts seem to be on the rise. Classroom environment research has demonstrated that environments created by classroom teachers have a significant impact on many aspects of education. Using a mixed methods approach, the current study investigated the relationship between cheating and the high school classroom environment. Quantitative data were collected from two surveys. The Academic Integrity Survey (AIS) asked students to self report cheating behaviors, and the Classroom Environment Scale (CES) asked students about their perceptions of the classroom environment. Qualitative data were collected from classroom observations and student interviews. The results of this study indicate that the classroom environment is significantly related to student cheating; the more positive the environment, the less students will cheat. Regression analyses indicated that 2 CES subscales, order and organization and involvement, were negatively related to student cheating and explained 40% and 23% of the variance respectively. The regression analyses also indicated that 3 other study variables, school sports participation, after school employment, and grade level were positively related to student cheating and explained 15%, 12%, and 11% of the variance, respectively. Qualitative analyses yielded 5 major findings. It was found that students cheat more in environments where students are not involved, that lack order and organization, and that lack teacher control. Students cheat more when their teachers are oblivious and are not respected, and larger systemic issues are related to student cheating behaviors. This study represents rare attempts to access the student perspective on cheating as well as to understand teachers' role in student cheating. This study concludes that teachers can reduce the rates of cheating in their classes by improving their classroom environments, especially in the areas of order and organization and student involvement, and by increasing their use of authentic standards based assessments. However, most of these improvements will only impact students' opportunity to cheat. Educators will have a difficult time affecting students' desire to cheat until larger systemic problems with the current educational system are addressed.

▼ The traditional one-shot teacher trainings aimed at telling teachers what they need to do to get better are not only frustrating to teachers, but are ineffective for improving classroom practices or student learning. Experts have advocated for effective professional learning to be job-embedded and intensively focused on the goal of meeting the learning needs of teachers and students. As the body of evidence around intense, ongoing, job-embedded professional learning grows, more school districts are placing instructional coaches in schools in hope of improving teachers' practices and student learning. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to: (1) determine if student achievement in reading and math was impacted as a result of instructional coaching in the middle schools, (2) examine classroom implementation of research-based instructional strategies, and (3) discern teachers' perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the instructional coaching program. This study examined 22 sixth and seventh grade language arts and math teachers in a mid-size district that hosts an instructional coaching program. The data analysis was multi-leveled with three key levels of data interpretation. The first level was a detailed analysis of each question separately: (1) achievement data was examined to determine impact on achievement; (2) classroom observations and interviews were utilized to examine teachers' application proposed strategies; and (3) a survey was administered to capture teachers' perceptions. The second level of analysis combined the qualitative and quantitative data. The final level of analysis triangulated all of the data sources to provide an in-depth understanding of instructional coaching. Although this study did not find significant increases in achievement, Summerset District has maintained high levels of achievement in spite of a plethora of barriers and challenges in the last six years. Evidence from classroom observations indicated the teachers have implemented the district- and coach-supported instructional strategies at varying degrees of effectiveness. Overall perceptions and ratings of the instructional coaching program were overwhelmingly positive. Specific comments were mostly positive, even on the recommendation sections, thus revealing that instructional coaches are an invaluable and relied upon resource for middle school math and language arts teachers.

▼ Practitioners have agreed that service-learning programs or curricula guide students into developing a more robust connection to the community in which they live as well as amongst other members of that community (Eyler, Giles, Stenson, & Gray, 2001). However, what isn’t known extensively is <i>how</i> these outcomes have been generated (Kiely, 2005a). Based upon Milne’s (2000) <i>reflective artmaking</i>, this arts-based ethnographic study introduces the terminology <i>reflective artmaking service-learning</i>, demonstrating how the coupled learning processes of reflective artmaking and service-learning respond to the call for research. The Capacities for Imaginative Learning (Holzer, 2009) facilitated my ethnographic analysis, providing specificity towards deconstructing the underlying mechanisms of processing and filtering. Conducted in Texas among Christian homeschool students, this study inquires, how does reflective artmaking coupled with service-learning help to make the underlying concept of “community” visible? This ethnographic study focuses on the educative (Dewey, 1938) value of an arts-infused program with Christian homeschooled youth (ages 11-17) in Texas. Significant findings include the ways in which experiential learning based on a constructivist epistemology and a focus on the self was a suitable, but yet limiting, theoretical framework. Suggestions include ways to use reflective artmaking coupled with service-learning to enhance the authenticity and applicability of projects and thus to enhance student interest and ownership. This study provides a broad set practitioners in educational programs and public, private, and home schools with practical, innovative, substantive, and customizable methods of incorporating arts-based reflection on civic engagement within their teaching practices.

▼ The current study had a multi-purpose and complementary research agenda focusing on the predictive power of teaching, cognitive and social presence on intrinsic, extraneous and germane cognitive load. More specifically, this study investigated the predictive relationships between the presences and cognitive load types through multiple regression analyses. This provided insights into the predictive validity of the presences with regard to cognitive load. Five graduate-level fully online courses delivering instruction in the field of learning,
design and technology comprised the research context. Data from 103 graduate students were used for multiple regression purposes. Results revealed that (a) the presences can significantly predict extraneous and germane load with and without perceived learning and satisfaction; (b) the presences can significantly predict intrinsic load as a group without controlling for perceived learning and satisfaction, and together with perceived learning and satisfaction after controlling for it; (c) cognitive presence is the best predictor of both intrinsic and germane load with increased cognitive presence associated with increased intrinsic and germane load; (d) teaching presence is the best predictor of extraneous load with increases in teaching presence associated with decreases in extraneous load; and (e) perceived learning and satisfaction are significant predictors of extraneous and germane load especially while showing a strong trend to be significant predictors of intrinsic load. Overall, the current results suggested a strong and joint predictive power of the presences on cognitive load with or without perceived learning and satisfaction. All of the presences may not strongly relate to or predict cognitive load types individually though. This may imply a strong interrelation among the presences, and that the presences can work quite effectively all together in relation to cognitive load. Perceived learning and satisfaction appear to be strong collaborators with the presences as well. All these insights warrant future research in different learning contexts, possibly integrating other potential variables as well, which would foster cross-validation.

▼ This purpose of this study was to examine the best practices used by facilitators of global collaborations in education. Four research questions were examined to address this purpose, which included: (a) challenges faced by facilitators in developing online international collaborations in education (b) current strategies used by facilitators in developing online international collaborations in education (c) how success is measured and tracked (d) recommendations for future online international collaborations in education. This qualitative, phenomenological study utilized a purposive sample of 14 participants who were ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) award recipients or conference presenters between 2014–2017 affiliated with global collaboration. Data collection was done through a semi-structured interview protocol comprised of six questions. The recorded interviews were transcribed, coded and analyzed to determine 27 total themes that emerged from the data. With some themes reinforced by literature and some unique to the study, results led to establishing “dimensions of leading global collaboration.” This includes two primary dimensions: (a) the responsibilities dimension, which entails the tasks and logistical aspects needed in global collaboration efforts, such as planning, practices during the collaboration, and logistical considerations (b) the characteristics dimension, which refers to the qualities that characterize a good global collaboration leader and partner, such as empathy, accountability, and willingness to take risks. Additionally, this study highlights the importance of people and developing a peer to peer network in the dynamic among facilitators (who should be seen as leaders) of global collaboration.

▼ Over the past several decades there has been a continuous stream of government mandates aimed to improve equity, access, accountability, transparency, student performance, and/or expand the responsibilities of public schools. These externally mandated school reforms have largely excluded the voice of teachers and administrators both in problem definition and in the modifications needed to address them. Further, reform literature is predominantly focused on improving or addressing urban school challenges, so little is known about the challenges and needs of suburban schools. The gaps in the literature related to teacher voice and suburban contexts in high school reform form the basis of this inquiry. Therefore, this study examines suburban teacher perceptions of four specific, popular reform ideas being introduced in high schools across the United States. This exploratory mixed methods study gathered data from 165 suburban public high school teachers working in 20 different high schools in Massachusetts using an anonymous survey instrument. Three findings emerged from the study: 1) successful suburban teachers welcome consensus high school reform ideas that they believe to be favorable for student learning, growth, and development though they note significant challenges in regard to time; 2) suburban teachers experience anxiety when reforms alter structures or methods that they rely on to ensure all students meet high school outcomes for graduation and college entrance requirements; and 3) suburban teachers’ perceptions of consensus high school reform ideas are shaped by the ways in which the reforms impact academic disciplines. This study found that suburban public school teachers view the four reform ideas presented in this study as likely having a positive impact on teaching and learning in their school; however, they noted several implementation challenges that would need to be considered to ensure the efficacy of those reforms.

▼ This statement gives an overall summary of the aims
and achievements of the research work and scholarship carried out
by the author during her time at The University of Manchester (and
UMIST – now part of The University of Manchester) for which the
publications presented give evidence. The research has been about
exploring the design process, the activities and issues, and
elements involved – from both an industry and student point of
view. The publications explore design pedagogy, the skills required
by designers and how these might fit into a curriculum for design
today.In three parts it summarises the publications presented,
reviews the main aspects of design and the current state of
knowledge and research in design and summarises the core aspects as
distilled from over 36 years practice, research and scholarship.The
driver for much of the research undertaken has been to gain a
better understanding of the core aspects of design – what key
knowledge and skills are required by designers to allow the
consistent design of better products and services which enhance the
experiences of users. The work presented investigates design and
design methods: the activities and processes and the elements
involved. It considers responses to designs, the emotional aspect
of design - why some designs are preferred over others, why some

▼ The goal of this thesis is to investigate the effect of digital
design media on the
design process of the industrial designer, and the designing of physical objects. Thereupon an educational approach to the practice of shaping objects was developed, which integrates theory about creativity,
design methodology, and the application of new technologies and
design media in
design practices.
Digital
design media such as CAD modelling are increasingly integrated into the
design process, replacing many functions of the conventional, physical media. However,
design practice experiences problems with the extensive use of CAD. Thus, it wandered: what does the continuing integration of digital
design mean for the
design process of the industrial designer of the future, who learns to
design with the computer being his most vital tool? And thereupon: how should
design education adapt to these changes, in order to enable an optimal learning experience?
The research answers these questions over the course of three parts, using literature,
design reasoning, and the outcomes of 11 interviews conducted with experts from the field. The first part of research focusses on the principles to learning
design. The second part of research deals with the practice of creation while exploring how designers are able to define an object from scratch. The last part of research evaluates different
design media by a number of properties, whereupon a vision is constructed on how these should be used in
design practices.
Based upon the research results, it is proven that the (early) extensive use of digital
design media leaves its traces on the effectiveness of a designer’s
design development process. Simultaneously, it is found that a student’s learning process of
design is negatively influenced, when relying solely on digital
design media. Thereupon the educational theoretical model is introduced, which relies on a principle of
design development through iterative representation, facilitated by a process of alternating
design activity and
design media. Finally, the developed theories were discussed with 3 experts, whereupon an evaluation was done.

▼ “
Design is a problem–solving process and the
fundamental skills of the designer are the ability to look for
meaningful problems, frame them into appropriate contexts, and
design a process for developing and implementing a solution”
(Irwin, 2015). This definition of
design and the role of the
designer are a significant departure from its original definition
by the Bauhaus where the objective of all creative effort in the
visual arts was to give form to space and where the source of
creative imagination was in developing a proficiency in the craft
(Gropius, Bayer, & Gropius, 1938).
Design as a discipline has
evolved and is expanding its impact from individual physical
objects and spaces to experiences and organizations. There is
increasing interest in
design thinking and human-centered
design
methodologies. Organizations are discovering the value and
potential of
design.Although definition and the sphere of
design
influence have changed,
design education has remained rooted in the
craft skills.
Design education has two trains of thought: the
foundation and the progression. The foundation skills of
observation and application have remained consistent through the
history of
design but the progression of
design is in constant
change (Foster,O.,2015 as cited by Currey, 2015). “If
design is to
live up to its promise it must create new, enduring curricula for
design education that merge science and technology, art and
business, and indeed, all the knowledge of the university” (Norman
& Klemmer, 2014). What is that promise that
design has to
offer? How can
design schools lay the foundation to deliver that
promise? How can or should
design education prepare future
designers for this expanding sphere of
design influence? This
research attempts to addresses these questions by exploring the
future and value of graduate
design education. This
multidisciplinary research and
design thesis combined
design
research methodologies with business strategy concepts and tools
for developing plausible future scenarios. The future scenarios
were translated into future roles for designers. The roles formed
the basis for developing a framework for exploration of graduate
design programs and strategic planning for
design schools and
universities.
Design research conducted for this research combined
an information-based and inspiration-based approach (Sanders E.
B.-N., 2005). Four stakeholders groups – students, faculty members,
alumni and industry members - participated in the research.
Stakeholders visualized the future of graduate
design education in
a participatory
design exercise using a generative
design make
toolkit (Sanders & Stappers, 2012) in the inspiration-based
approach. The information-based approach utilized survey and
conversational interview to reflect on current experience and
future aspirations. Common themes were observed in the findings
from the two approaches. These themes along with influencing
factors and trends formed the basis for developing future scenarios
translated into four future roles for designers: traditional…

▼ Teachers, locals, a designer, communities, students, materials and co-design are the resources of this written report. These elements have tried to find a balance between each other during the process to stimulate the core of the project: a sustainable future in the local community of Älmhult. Starting of through of changing the global perspective of education to a more local sharing-learning experiences, the project made a turn to focus more on a problematic community namely that of Älmhult, Sweden. This local community has in the recent years changed dramatically because of growth in population and cultures. The community in which international and local do not mingle enough, has split. Instead of using these possibilities of learning from each other’s cultures and languages they have decided to live in mostly separate communities. Through the course of this project a network was built of people from both these communities to start building a stronger community in Älmhult. Education has been used as tool to stimulate this change, bringing the local community to the students. Teaching the students about strong communities they are the tool to develop this into the future. Thereby the student is the seed of change. The project has worked with co-design, using the tools to connect teachers and local initiators to create these meetings between student and local community. The research can be a learning tool to build communities, by using the knowledge of its inhabitants.
