questions were as follows: (1) how learning trajectories were related withconflicts and innovation competency from students’ perspective? (2) how learningtrajectories were related with conflicts and innovation competency from academic staff’sperspectives? (3) how students and academic staff’s perspectives were similar and differentfrom the literatures? Besides providing a brief literature review, we collected empiricaldata by one-year observation and 14 interviews in one engineering master program,Environment Management, at +++ University, Denmark. The empirical findings displaydiverse views on conflicts in relation to innovation competency from both students andacademic staff’s statement, which reminded educators to reflect the use

It follows from such observations that changing beliefsand conceptions of teaching are critical for any substantive change in teaching51,52. Efforts toinfluence beliefs through courses and interventions that seek to challenge individual beliefs havemixed outcomes53,54. De-contextualized evidence-based teaching models that are prevalent inthe literature have also been shown to offer limited support for teachers to change theirpractice55. Many researchers consider reflective practice, in which a teacher frequently engagesin reflection on their ongoing practical experiences, as having more potential in helpingpracticing teachers change their

With the first author, they designed pre- and post-tripquestionnaires, focus group interviews, and written reflection activities to assess students’perceptions, attitudes, and learning as a result of the experience. This paper addresses threeresearch questions: 1) What is the profile of engineering students who choose to participate in a study abroad/ service learning experience, in terms of motivation for enrolling in study abroad, reasons for volunteering, and previous educational, organization and service activities
