For anyone concerned about students' moral development, academic dishonesty presents a pervasive problem but also promising possibility. The present paper describes the theoretical and empirical underpinnings of process-oriented, four-component model approach to promoting "moral functioning" related integrity, research project currently underway that is providing Web-based professional development teachers for using in their high school classrooms. In doing so, we hope develop scalable...

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate students' perceptions about the characteristics creativity and engagement in solving non-routine problems. It involved 64 science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) university students, who participated a two-year research project New Zealand during which participants were given opportunities utilise puzzle-based learning their courses.

Student engagement has never mattered more in college and university education. While the problem of low underachievement may differ greatly depending on learning contexts their relationship is well-established.
