In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) courses. These courses provide research opportunities for many more students than are typically exposed to traditional independent research experiences, including women, historically underrepresented groups in science, and…

This essay argues that embodied pedagogies of emergence are fundamental to facilitating student wellbeing in the classroom. It shows that such classroom approaches require an incorporation of contemplative pedagogies to be truly attuned to presence; likewise contemplative pedagogies require an emergent approach -- particularly the recasting of…

Due to the prosperity of sports and continued growth of sports media, colleges and universities are offering an increasing number of courses and majors related to the sports media industry.

The Science of Teaching Reading (STR) has burgeoned nationally and changed the requirements for Texas Teacher Education Programs (TEPs), causing researchers to fear that the focus on foundational skills will limit attention given to writing, and the reading-writing relationship in particular. The present content analysis investigates literacy…

I explore some facts about the area, position, etc. of the Steiner ellipse using GeoGebra and numerical analysis. Students can use these for mathematical inquiry.

An increasing number of studies have focused on policies in physical education and physical education teacher education (PETE). Policies are important because they prescribe behaviours or a course of action, and they legitimise some knowledge and perspectives while discrediting others. In the field of physical education (PE), a white,…

As quantum technologies transition out of the research lab and into commercial applications, it becomes important to better prepare students to enter this new and evolving workforce. To work toward this goal of preparing physics students for a career in the quantum industry, a senior capstone course called "Quantum Forge" was created at…

Instruction in the theory and performance of music has been part of Australian higher education since the nineteenth century. Using the online content analysis approach, this article analyses current units of study and curricula in each Australian public university that continues to teach music. This study provides a detailed analysis of what is…

This study describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a photovoice program for Social Education students from a Polytechnic University in Portugal.

In Western industrialised contexts, ecological problems such as climate change are sensed and come largely to be known through media representations. In this article, we consider "aesthetic practices" as a concept for understanding the ways in which the visual sensible world relating to climate change is continuously distributed.…

An inequitable distribution of resources and opportunities for marginalized students (i.e., opportunity gaps) leads to challenges in identifying effective study behaviors, metacognition, and academic help-seeking in higher education. While students benefit when these skills are taught explicitly through co-curricular workshops and courses, these…
