We are interested in the transformative potentials of intersubjectivity as it is enacted through second-person contemplative approaches. Our work here focuses on contemplative practice as a pedagogy that reveals and enacts intersubjectivity within postsecondary education. How might contemplative higher education practice as a pedagogy enable…

John Zubizarreta – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2022
In response to the issue of why and how the humanities--and more broadly the liberal arts and sciences--have historically dominated honors education and disregarded preprofessional fields, the author finds that the crux of the problem is not the nature or worth of the disciplines involved or why this or that subject area is de facto included or…

Background: An instructor's conceptions of teaching and learning contribute to the establishment of learning environments that may benefit or hinder student learning. Previous studies have defined the continuum of teaching and learning conceptions, ranging from limited to complete, as well as the instructional practices that they help to inform…

Rutten, Logan; Wolkenhauer, Rachel – Action in Teacher Education, 2023
Teacher education programs worldwide have adopted the goal of promoting an inquiry stance among teacher candidates. Such programs commonly ground teacher candidates' clinical practice in practitioner inquiry -- a cyclical, systematic, and intentional process supported by inquiry communities. While democratic and justice-oriented purposes are…

The development of technology has changed the way people communicate in academic contexts as well as working places, for example from print messages to screened messages, and from face-to-face classroom and office meetings to virtual classes and offices. This has prompted the shift from traditional teaching practices to student-centered in which…

Russo-Tait, Tatiane – Science Education, 2023
Equity in education has been conceptualized in various ways, which provides different affordances and constraints for policy, research, and teaching decisions. Regarding the latter, there is a dearth of research on how postsecondary science faculty conceptualize equity and whether and how their understandings of equity may be informing their…

Stephen Secules – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
This paper examines specific problems of educational practice that I, an undergraduate engineering educator and education researcher, have encountered in creating an interdisciplinary engineering project course. I reveal my process of theorising about problems of practice to position engineering educators' pedagogical theorising as worthy of…

Learning how to engage students in educationally purposeful activities has been a challenge for instructors in higher education. It is often hard to push through institutionalized pedagogical boundaries rooted in traditional "teach-at-you" approaches to learning. The demands of a more diverse student body and more effective measures of…

Leslie La Croix; Daniel Ferguson; Colleen Vesely; Bweikia Steen; Carley Fisher-Maltese; Stephanie Calabrese; Yupei Gong; Xiaolu Zhang – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2024
This article explores preservice teachers' (PSTs) experiences engaging in a program initiative blending antiracist teaching and project-based learning (PjBL) to create an antiracist PjBL. Informed by critical race theory and racial literacy theory we used children's literature as a catalyst for engaging PSTs in sustained conversations about…
