Promoting students’ science literacy skills through a simulation of international negotiations: The GlobalEd 2 Project

Prototype of Science Literacy Instruments on the Competence of Construction and Property Technology Expertise

“…Scientific literacy is one of the main components that underlie competency in engineering-based SMKs, especially in construction and property expertise programs. In addition, to improve language skills, scientific literacy is also closely related to the functional use of technology [10], [11] and to give attention to the living environment [12], [13]. Such an important coverage considering the focus of SMK focused on the applied domain, functional [14], [15] Moreover, there are not many researchers who pay particular attention to the science literacy of this vocational field.…”

Oh, SNAP! Poverty Simulations in Social Justice Classrooms: Active and Experiential Learning

“…Simulations are utilized in health science education to enhance the interpersonal communication skills of graduate students to help reduce their own biased attitudes. This teaching method increases the practical application of theoretical concepts for mental health nursing students (Alexander, Sheen, Rinehart, Hay, & Boyd, 2018; Saaranen, Vaajoki, Kellomäki, & Hyvärinen, 2015) including virtual games to teach mental health assessment skills to nursing students (Lawless et al, 2018; Verkuyl, Romaniuk, & Mastrilli, 2018). Other fields such as computer science have utilized simulation exercises to enhance students’ understanding of cultural differences and social justice issues (Lawless et al, 2018).…”

Other fields such as computer science have utilized simulation exercises to enhance students’ understanding of cultural differences and social justice issues (Lawless et al, 2018). One study involving active learning approaches combined with Freire’s critical pedagogy and dialogic learning indicated that participants increased students’ awareness of the structural and historical mechanisms related to racial/ethnic inequalities while increasing their focus away from individuals towards emphasizing institutional and social change (Nagda et al, 2003; Loyd & Gaither, (2018).…”

Sustainability Competencies in STEM Education at Secondary Schools: A Systematized Literature Review

“…In our example, the educator can also scaffold this activity by using a different context, such as Level 2 or Level 3, and use the GlobalEd 2 project [48], as an example. On the other hand, the educator can use our result tables to explore what are the standards and projects that have some elements of the Sustainability competencies.…”
