Smith, Calvin D.; Baik, Chi – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
In this paper, we report on an attempt to systematically discover reliable and high-quality evidence on teaching practices that have an impact on student learning. We adopted an innovative approach that was modelled on some of the practices of a systematic review. Papers that met certain quality criteria (population generalisability, ecological…

R. Freed; D. H. McKinnon; M. T. Fitzgerald; S. Salimpour – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
This paper presents the results of a confirmatory factor analysis on two self-efficacy scales designed to probe the self-efficacy of college-level introductory astronomy (Astro-101) students (n ¼ 15181) from 22 institutions across the United States of America and Canada. The students undertook a course based on similar curriculum materials, which…

Michael D. Carey; Shelley Davidow; Paul Williams – Australian Journal of Language and Literacy, 2022
According to creative writing pedagogies academic Susanne Gannon ("English in Australia, 54"(2), 43-56, 2019), and the Federal government-commissioned NAPLAN review (McGaw et al., 2020), NAPLAN has restricted how writing is taught in secondary schools. A NAPLAN-influenced structural approach to teaching writing has subsumed the…

Hine, Gregory – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2019
This professional practice paper is underpinned philosophically by the indisputable centrality of proof to the discipline of mathematics. Proof offers students the opportunity to deepen their own understanding of mathematical ideas, to construct and defend logical arguments, and to think critically about the veracity of mathematical statements.…

Ollerton, Richard L. – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2018
Two important pedagogical techniques for developing deeper mathematical understanding are to prove a given theorem in different ways and to unify the proofs of different theorems. Trigonometric angle sum and difference identities are introduced in Unit 2 of Specialist Mathematics in the Australian Curriculum (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and…

Ryder, Courtney; Mackean, Tamara; Ullah, Shahid; Burton, Heather; Halls, Heather; McDermott, Dennis; Edmondson, Wendy – Australian Journal of Indigenous Education, 2019
Socially accountable health curricula, designed to decrease Aboriginal health inequities through the transformation of health professional students into culturally safe practitioners, has become a focal point for health professional programmes. Despite this inclusion in health curricula there remains the question of how to best assess students in…

Siemon, Dianne; Callingham, Rosemary; Day, Lorraine – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
The capacity to recognise, represent, and reason about relationships between different quantities, that is, to think multiplicatively, has long been recognised as critical to success in school mathematics in the middle years and beyond. Building on recent research that found a strong link between multiplicative thinking and algebraic, geometrical,…

Daniel, Scott; Mazzurco, Andrea – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Co-design is fundamental to humanitarian engineering and increasingly recognised as such in engineering curricula. However, it is challenging to teach, learn, and assess. In this paper, we describe the development and validation of a scenario-based instrument to distinguish novice and expert approaches to co-design in the context of humanitarian…

Macdonald, Mary-anne; Gringart, Eyal; Booth, Sarah; Somerville, Robert – Australian Journal of Education, 2023
The present study aimed to empirically evaluate the knowledges, attitudes and perspectives of pre-service teachers towards Indigenous peoples, and to identify relationships between student learning experiences and student knowledges, attitudes and preparedness to work with Indigenous peoples, at one Australian university. The project was part of a…

Lesseig, Kristin; Hine, Gregory; Boardman, Kaleinani – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
Despite the recognized importance of mathematical proof in secondary education, there is a limited but growing body of literature indicating how preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) view proof and the teaching of proof. The purpose of this survey research was to investigate how PSMTs in Australia and the United States perceive of…

Strelan, Peter – Teaching of Psychology, 2018
This article presents an innovative technique for teaching the principles of experimental design in a way that is entertaining and engaging for students. Following a lecture on experimental design, students participate in an experiment in which the teacher uses a funny segment from a movie to test the influence of implicit social norms. Randomly…

Aoun, Chadi; Vatanasakdakul, Savanid; Ang, Karyne – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
Reflective teaching practice is often heralded as a pillar of effective tuition. However, the perceptions of multiple forms of feedback among learners and their contributions to reflective learning is yet to attract significant attention, particularly in the Information Systems (IS) context. This research investigates the antecedent constituents…

Lee, Jihyun; Chen, Minge – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
This study presents empirical findings demonstrating predictive validities of noncognitive variables for mathematics achievement among primary and secondary school students from cross-country perspectives. Results based on TIMSS 2015 assessment showed that confidence was a moderately strong predictor of mathematics achievement in all TIMSS…

Humphry, Stephen; Heldsinger, Sandra; Dawkins, Sue – Australian Journal of Education, 2017
Although the teaching of children's oral language is critical to both their social development and academic success, the assessment of oral language development poses many challenges for classroom teachers. The aim of the study is to develop an approach that: (i) enables teachers to assess oral language in a reliable, valid and comparable manner…
