Miles, James; Gibson, Lindsay – Theory and Research in Social Education, 2022
Since the early 2000s, the use of the term presentism has rapidly increased in both the historical discipline and public discussions of history. Most recently, presentism has been widely discussed and debated in articles about the pulling down and defacement of statues in countries around the world inspired by the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.…

Wilcox, Jesse; Reiter, Reade; Rose, Abby; Alberts, Alex; Murano, Katie – Science and Children, 2022
Although the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS) have three dimensions, the crosscutting concepts are often the forgotten dimension. One reason teachers may not emphasize the crosscutting concepts might be because they are broad, domain-general constructs that can be difficult to conceptualize in a meaningful way. Yet, when taught…

D'Arms, Justin; Samuels, Richard – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Emotion development research centrally concerns capacities to produce emotions and to think about them. We distinguish these enterprises and consider a novel account of how they might be related. On one recent account, the capacity to have emotions of various kinds comes by way of the acquisition of emotion concepts. This account relies on a…

Baserer, Dilek – World Journal of Education, 2020
Learning with activities is a method of learning where learning process is much easier with practical applications rather than theoretical structure of information given to learn a subject. As learning with activities contain practical applications, it is of great importance in teaching a learning outcome of any teaching program. For that reason,…

Oh Hoon Kwon – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
A new classification for semantic structures of one-step word problems is proposed in this paper. The classification is based on illustrations of word problem situations in Common Core State Standards (CCSSM, 2010) and related historical studies (e.g. Weaver, 1973, 1979, 1982), as well as conceptual elaborations of embodied and grounded nature in…

Higuera-Martínez, Oscar Iván; Corazza, Giovanni Emanuele; Fernández-Samacá, Liliana – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
This article presents how Problem- and Project-Based Learning (PBL) in engineering education can exploit the theoretical framework of the Space-Time (ST)-Continuum, according to which educational contexts can be classified in terms of the tightness vs. looseness of the relevant conceptual space S and available time T. By crossing these two…

Betts, Anastasia L.; Son, Ji-Won – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Research shows that frequent, high-quality mathematics talk that is shared between parents and children can increase mathematics achievement. This article describes ways in which teachers can support parents in increasing the frequency and quality of parent-child mathematics interactions, leading to better outcomes for students.

Babaian, Caryn; Kumar, Sudhir – American Biology Teacher, 2019
A lesson plan on the phylum Tardigrada is presented in a storytelling workbook that introduces the evolutionary concepts of adaptive radiation, speciation, divergence, and "tree-thinking" through narrative, transitional art, contemplative coloring, and data searches, which can be enhanced with microscopy wet labs. Students gain insight…

Eddy, Colleen M.; Kuehnert, Eloise Aniag – American Educational History Journal, 2018
The purpose of this paper is to account for the advancement of questioning in mathematics education. Four sections focus on: (1) Importance of Questioning in Education (a historical perspective of questioning from the 1960s through the 1990s); (2) Cognitive Classification of Questions (Costa's Levels of Thinking, Webb's Depth of Knowledge, and…

Paik, Seoung-Hey; Kim, Sungki; Kim, Kihyang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
The four representative models that define oxidation-reduction reactions are often used differently in different situations or contexts in chemistry textbooks. Although integrated models have been suggested to overcome the confusion caused by this, they have not been successful. We therefore aim to interpret the causes for difficulties in the…

Instone, Marina – Teaching History, 2013
A key concern driving debates about curriculum reform in England is anxiety that young people's knowledge of the past is too episodic--that they lack a coherent "narrative" or "map" of the past. While recent debate focused on what could be achieved by 14-year-olds (and whether a purely chronological approach would help), Marina…

Rutter, Michael – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
New research findings provide major challenges regarding our understanding of the concept of autism. These are critically discussed in relation to research relevant to classification, genetics, environmental risk factors, gene-environment interplay, animal models, biomarkers, clinical features, neuropathology, pharmacotherapy, behavioral…

Young, Arthur; Shawl, Stephen J. – Astronomy Education Review, 2013
Professors who teach introductory astronomy to students not majoring in science desire them to comprehend the concepts and theories that form the basis of the science. They are usually less concerned about the myriad of detailed facts and information that accompanies the science. As such, professors prefer to test the students for such…

McCrory, Catherine – Teaching History, 2013
Teaching her Key Stage 3 students in Essex, Catherine McCrory was struck by the stark contrast between their enthusiasm for studying diverse histories of Africa and the Americas and their reluctance to engage with certain groups deemed different within England. Inspired by the resources in the local Record Office and keen to implement the part of…

Gomez, Miguel Casas – Language Sciences, 2009
This paper consists of a revision of the different definitions of euphemism, which, apart from certain restrictive and singular descriptions, can be classified, basically, in two groups: the extralinguistic and the strictly linguistic ones. After a critical-descriptive analysis of these formulations from the standpoints of both lexical semantics…
