Transdisciplinary Teaching and Learning in UX Design
Today’s user experience (UX) educators and designers can no longer just focus on creating more usable systems, but must also rise to the level of strategists, using design thinking and human–computer interaction (HCI) solutions to improve academic and business outcomes. Both psychological, designer, and engineering approaches are adopted in this study. An invited program review committee met to review progress of the UX program at the Beijing Normal University (BNUX). They considered issues and challenges facing the program today, and the steps that it could make to develop further. During a recent augmented reality (AR) project on designing future life experience on smart home and wearables, several experiential concepts and prototypes were generated to demonstrate HCI and UX research directions.

Technology for Science Education
The COVID-19 confinement has represented both opportunities and losses for education. Rarely before has any other period moved the human spirit into such discipline or submission—depending on one’s personal and emotional points of view. Both extremes have been widely influenced by external factors on each individual’s life path. Education in the sciences and engineering has encountered more issues than other disciplines due to specialized mathematical handwriting, experimental demonstrations, abstract complexity, and lab practices.

Student and Instructor Ratings in Geographic Information Systems
Geographic information system (GIS) education empowers engineering students to make informed decisions, integrate comprehensive data, and communicate effectively through maps and visualizations. In GIS education, it is common to employ problem-based learning, which can benefit from the advantages of peer assessment methods.

Smartphone Usage in Science Education
The growing significance of digital learning in science education has brought about considerations about various mobile devices. In this respect, the use of smartphones has become a subject of attention in the field of educational research. The popular mini computers are handy, readily available and easy to use. They offer quick access to simulations, databases, and other tools of importance in science classrooms and can be used to improve aspects of science education.

Serious Games and Mathematics
The possibilities that serious games offer have been an area of increasing interest in recent years in the field of education. Unlike video games, which are created for entertainment purposes, serious games focus on the educational aspect in one of the possible developments that this type of software is capable of offering. The serious games recover characteristic elements of the free time of the students and take them to the classroom, generating an experience that favors learning.

Relationship between Academic Challenge Stress and Creativity
Creativity, a multidimensional construct, is commonly defined as the production of novel and useful ideas or solutions. The quality of graduate student cultivation, especially their level of creativity, largely determines the quantity and quality of innovative talents. Therefore, improvement of graduate student creativity is also considered as an important indicator for evaluating the quality of higher education. How to cultivate and stimulate graduate student creativity and thus enhance the innovation capacity and performance of universities has gradually become the focus of universities. However, creativity as an important feature of graduate student performance has received little academic attention. Studies showed that challenge stress has a positive impact on an individual’s life, work, and personal growth. In addition, challenge stress is a positive stressor that enhances innovation performance.

Mathematics Problems Solving
Mathematics problems solving (MPS) has been considered for decades as the centre of mathematics teaching, as it demonstrates the ability to analyse, understand, reason and apply. At the same time, it is also considered to be specific content when highlighting it as a basic competence that students should acquire.

Mathematics Anxiety and Self-Efficacy of Engineering Students
There is a gender gap in jobs associated with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) areas, favoring the male workforce, and the literature suggests that this gender gap starts to show in STEM-related high school courses, where a decrease in the population of women is observed. Likewise, it has been shown that the decision of women to study a STEM career is highly influenced by self-efficacy that weighs a relationship with the work, social, and family environment, even though they may have good grades in STEM-related courses.
