Bostic, Jonathan D.; Vostal, Brooks; Folger, Timothy – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM 2014) takes a clear stance that each and every student should have rich experiences in mathematics classrooms. In 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act noted that Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an evidence-based, scientifically valid framework that fosters access to instruction for all…

Glazewski, Krista D.; Ertmer, Peggy A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Complex problem solving is an effective means to engage students in disciplinary content while also furnishing critical non-cognitive and life skills. Despite increased adoption of complex problem-solving methods in K-12 classrooms today (e.g., case-, project-, or problem-based learning), we know little about how to make these approaches…

Bonner, Sarah; Chen, Peggy; Jones, Kristi; Milonovich, Brandon – Applied Measurement in Education, 2021
We describe the use of think alouds to examine substantive processes involved in performance on a formative assessment of computational thinking (CT) designed to support self-regulated learning (SRL). Our task design model included three phases of work on a computational thinking problem: forethought, performance, and reflection. The cognitive…

King, Barbara – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2019
Many teachers' experiences in problem-based classrooms are limited, therefore, mathematics teacher educators face a significant challenge when trying to inspire in-service teachers (ISTs) to teach through problem solving. To address this challenge, the professor in a mathematics education course designed and implemented an instructional model…
