Kevin Hinckley – Online Submission, 2024
Use of the term Background knowledge, in conjunction with Reading Comprehension, has become convoluted and vague over the past several decades of research. Showing the abundance of uses of the term in multiple domains and disciplines has relegated it to being an automatic inclusion in key notes and conclusions of research on the topic of improving…

Peyton Juhnke; Tobin LeBlanc Haley – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of existing scholarship on the Indigenization of Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR). Providing a careful review of this literature contributes a missing map of this field of scholarship and shares key insights for scholars. This is a timely contribution. While the assessment of prior…
