Pearce, Erin; Brock, Jesse; Bunch, Phillis – Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2022
Pre-service teachers (PSTs) often lack the self-efficacy necessary to effectively implement STEM education into their classrooms. Undergraduate research experiences (URE) can help fill this void by providing opportunities for PSTs to engage with STEM content and K-12 students in a field-based research context. This case study details the impact a…

Nayeri, Cyrus; Rushton, Elizabeth A. C. – London Review of Education, 2022
While a clear rationale for the need to decolonise school geography curricula has been proposed, there are few examples of what this looks like in practice. Drawing on our professional practice in both a secondary school and a university setting, we outline two case studies of decolonising the curriculum that centre on promoting student agency.…
