Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yung-Chi Lin – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2024
The purpose of this study was to compare two simulated classrooms (virtual vs physical) in terms of how they affect pre-service teachers' perceptions and noticing ability. A total of 57 pre-service elementary school teachers participated in this study (28 in virtual Cartoon Classroom and 29 in physical Bear Classroom). The results were mixed. In…

Mikeska, Jamie N.; Lottero-Perdue, Pamela S. – Science Education, 2022
Engaging students in scientific argumentation is a hallmark of high-quality science instruction. Despite the importance of this practice, it is not a ubiquitous one within K-12 classrooms since scientific argumentation is complex and difficult to learn how to do well. In this study, we examined similarities and differences in how preservice…

Woods, Dawn M. – International Journal of Technology in Education, 2021
Number talks are short mathematical discussions offering sensemaking opportunities for students. Aside from bolstering students' mathematical learning, this instructional routine may also support preservice teachers (PSTs) in investigating how to facilitate discussion-focused instruction. In this study, PSTs engage in a learning cycle to explore,…
