Paary Balakumar; Heather Fice; Samuel Richer; Tamara L. Western; Jacqueline Yao – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2024
Introductory science courses can be a struggle for instructors and students not only because of the challenging nature of the material, but also due to differences in the background knowledge of students. Provision of pre-lecture resources reviewing or introducing key concepts is recommended to support diverse students. In this paper, we describe…

R. Dastbasteh; N. Kouzniak; J. Niezen – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2024
Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada offers two introductory calculus courses designed for students enrolled in science and engineering programs. Students identified as needing additional support based on their admission grades take the version of the course where students meet weekly for four hours instead of three. A new approach for the…

Emerson LaCroix – Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 2024
Experiential education, the process of providing students with applied learning opportunities within and outside the classroom, is rife with organizational complexity. This article examines Ontario's Strategic Mandate Agreements using qualitative content analysis to see how conceptions and communications of experiential learning have changed over…

Aliyah Dosani; Jocelyn Lehman; Alexander Cuncannon – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2024
Social justice and health equity are foundational to community health nursing. Arts-based pedagogy has learning and reflexive value for community and population health education within nursing and health professions curricula. Art has been increasingly used in health care and in promoting health, including in nursing education. However, research…

La Braca, Franco; Kalman, Calvin S. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Traditional, template physics labs are often associated with student dissatisfaction and superficial applications, and are known to leave students with fragmented knowledge. An alternative known as labatorials, a conceptually driven approach to labs, has been proposed. In a number of studies, labatorials have been shown to work well. However, what…

Cremin, Teresa; Chappell, Kerry – Research Papers in Education, 2021
This paper is a critical systematic literature review of empirical work on creative pedagogies from 1990 to 2018. It responds to the increased international attention being afforded creativity and creative pedagogies in research, policy and practice and examines the evidence regarding creative pedagogical practices and the potential impact of…

Lafay, Anne; Osana, Helena P.; Levin, Joel R. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
We investigated the effect of conceptual transparency in the physical structure of manipulatives on place-value understanding in typically developing children and those at risk for mathematics learning disabilities. Second graders were randomly assigned to one of three manipulatives conditions: (a) attachable beads that did not make the…

Cassidy, Robert; Ahmad, Arshad – Teaching in Higher Education, 2021
The present study takes a novel quantitative approach to examine whether the change mechanisms hypothesized by conceptual change theories are involved in reconceptualizing teaching from a teacher-centred to a student-centred approach. We assessed changes in approaches to teaching, measured with the Approaches to Teaching Inventory-Revised (ATI-R),…

Xin, Yan Ping, Ed.; Tzur, Ron, Ed.; Thouless, Helen, Ed. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
This book provides prospective and practicing teachers with research insights into the mathematical difficulties of students with learning disabilities and classroom practices that address these difficulties. This linkage between research and practice celebrates teachers as learners of their own students' mathematical thinking, thus contributing…

Saudelli, Mary Gene; Kleiv, Robin; Davies, Jessica; Jungmark, Martin; Mueller, Rebecca – Brock Education: A Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2021
Simulation educational technologies provide a convenient way to augment classroom learning in higher education. The University of Colorado Boulder has created many Physics Education Technology (PhET) computer simulations relevant to concepts in Sciences and Mathematics. There is a notable gap in the literature of simulation-based technologies,…

Hossain, M. Alamgir; Menz, Petra M.; Stockie, John M. – PRIMUS, 2022
We present a question bank consisting of over 250 multiple-choice and true--false questions covering a broad range of material typically taught in an introductory undergraduate course in numerical analysis or computational science. The questions are ideal for polling students during lectures by means of a student response system that uses…

Hitt, Fernando – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
We present the results of a research project on arithmetic-algebraic thinking that was carried out jointly by a team in Mexico and another in Quebec. The project deals with the concepts of variable and covariation between variables in the sixth grade at the elementary level and the first, second, and third years of secondary school--namely,…

Holm, Jennifer, Ed.; Megroureche, Charlotte, Ed. – Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group, 2022
With COVID-19 continuing to make meeting face-to-face impossible, the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group/Groupe Canadien d'Étude en Didactique des Mathématiques (CMESG/GCEDM) executive decided that, for the first time, the CMESG/GCEDM meeting would be held virtually. By necessity, the program had to be much compressed with no topic…

Geelan, David – Education Sciences, 2020
There is a long history of philosophical inquiry into the concept of explanation in science, and this work has some implications for the ways in which science teachers, particularly in the physical sciences (physics and chemistry), explain ideas to students. Recent work has outlined a constructivist approach to developing, delivering, and refining…

Bazelais, Paul; Doleck, Tenzin – Education and Information Technologies, 2018
Research has suggested that learning approaches such as blended learning can enhance both the quality of instruction and student learning outcomes in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) education. However, little is known about how such instructional approaches affect learning outcomes in the context of "Collège…
