Given known correlations between…

Practical and exploratory activities are an important part of science education. However, students' learning outcomes from such activities require more than just active participation; their experiences must be linked to scientific ideas. The purpose of this lesson study is to investigate the teacher-student dialogue after exploratory activities in…

The importance of mathematics in early grades has been well established. Two variables that are associated with mathematics achievement are student-teacher relationships (STR) and student type (students identified with a disability and students not identified with a disability). The current study investigated the interaction between perceived STR…

Purpose: This study aims to show the complexities of engagement between students - Venezuelan and Brazilian - and their teachers. This qualitative ethnographic study documents the everyday pedagogies and practices that take place in elementary schools with high levels of refugee and immigrant children.
