In California and other states, neo-Marxist ideologues are using "ethnic studies" as a Trojan horse to indoctrinate students in a divisive ideology. The author asserts that state and district policymakers must not permit this enterprise to take root and that merely saying no is not enough; the best defense is a good offense. New…

This paper reports on a model for participatory curriculum development that builds on a 'connected learning communities' (CLC) approach. We describe and analyse the trajectory of six CLC-cases using a framework informed by Social Practice Theory (SPT). The activities we report on took place during the first pilot year (2020-2021) of a…

Current global drivers have challenged higher education and increased institution-wide top-down managed reforms, including curriculum reforms.

The lesson presented in this article was designed to illustrate this methodology and add to the health…

Modern digital technologies are advancing rapidly, driving transformative changes. For Information Systems (IS) educators, maintaining curricula that prepare graduates for the digital economy is imperative.

This study aims to describe the expansive curricular landscape in art education that has often been depicted by the gap between theory-oriented curricular resources produced in higher education versus practice-oriented resources created and used in K-12 teaching. To provide a curricular overview, 162 K-12 art educators and 22 higher education…

The implementation of a research-based curriculum that enables students to develop essential capabilities for this complex world is challenging. There is limited understanding of the implementation of a research-based curriculum in a whole degree programme, and few studies examined how faculty members and students perceived such a curriculum. This…

Despite well-designed curriculum materials, teachers often face challenges in their implementation due to diverse classroom needs. This paper investigates whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can support middle-school math teachers by helping create high-quality curriculum scaffolds, which we define as the adaptations and supplements teachers…

While research consistently demonstrates that young children learn best through play and social interactions, this developmental insight is not often reflected in current classroom curricula. Through action research, I examined how a play-based kindergarten environment could impact student writing and writing engagement. This article specifically…
