Maryam Khosronejad; Lauren Weber; Mary Ryan – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2023

David DeLiema; Jeffrey K. Bye; Vijay Marupudi – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Learning to respond to a computer program that is not working as intended is often characterized as finding a singular bug causing a singular problem.

For many language learners, listening represents a major source of anguish, with apparent success in the confines of the classroom failing to be mirrored in the ordinary interactions of daily life.

Wilmes, Sara E. D.; Siry, Christina – Research in Science Education, 2021
Science teaching and learning are discursive practices, yet analysis of these practices has frequently been grounded in theorizations that place language at the forefront of interaction and meaning-making. Such language-centric analytic approaches risk overlooking key embodied, enacted aspects of students' engagement in science practices. This…

Yo-An Lee – Educational Linguistics, 2021
While discourse studies have uncovered regular structural patterns in classroom interactions, these patterns are often the result of interpretive decisions teachers make in performing various pedagogical actions.

Willcox, Libba – Art Education, 2017
Many students in the art classroom view making art, and creativity, as innate abilities rather than something to be learned. When students take risks, and fail, many believe they are flawed and do not belong in an art class. These moments of vulnerability need pedagogical and curricular attention from art educators to create a psychologically safe…

Our mobile phone-based response system (iQlickers) collects and analyzes the answers or opinions sent in by the students as SMS (short message service) messages. The statistic of the…
