Erickson, Tim; Engel, Joachim – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
This volume is largely about nontraditional data; this paper is about a nontraditional visualization: classification trees. Using trees with data will be new to many students, so rather than beginning with a computer algorithm that produces optimal trees, we suggest that students first construct their own trees, one node at a time, to explore how…

Brian P. Woods – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In this in-class activity, organic chemistry undergraduates try to place an assortment of molecules in chronological order from oldest to most recently synthesized. In the students' first attempt, they use their knowledge of reactions and synthesis to analyze the organic compounds for their structural complexity. Before a second attempt, the names…

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…

Stewart, Melissa; Correia, Marlene – Stenhouse Publishers, 2021
Once upon a time, nonfiction books for children routinely included concise, stodgy writing. Most of the books were text heavy, with just a few scattered images decorating, rather than enhancing, the content and meaning. But nonfiction has changed dramatically over the last two decades, evolving into a new breed of visually dynamic, engaging texts…

Pierratos, Theodoros; Koumara, Anna – Primary Science, 2020
In this article, a series of activities on explicit teaching of specific aspects of the 'nature of science' are presented. The authors explore teaching the nature of science through inquiry-based activities on electric circuits. The activities concern classification of objects as conductors or insulators and took place in three classes of 4th…

Ezell, Jeremy D.; Lending, Diane; Dillon, Thomas W.; May, Jeffrey; Hurney, Carol A.; Fulcher, Keston H. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2019
The ability to elicit information systems requirements is a necessary learning objective for students in a contemporary information systems curriculum, and is a skill vital to their careers. Common challenges in teaching this skill include both the lack of structure and guidance in information systems textbooks as well as the view that a student's…

Shi, Meijia; Tan, Cheng Yong – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 2020
Classroom discussions represent a common learning activity for students in schools. The prevailing discourse has focused on how to encourage as many students as possible to participate actively in classroom discussions with the assumption that only vocal students are engaged learners. The present essay critically challenges this position by…

Markwick, Andy – Primary Science, 2021
The topic 'Animals including humans' runs through the primary science National Curriculum in England (DfE, 2013). Ideally, topics such as inheritance will lead onto adaptation, natural selection and evolution across key stages 1 to 2 (ages 5-11). This article provides nine engaging activities to support the teaching of adaptation and improve…

Helenius, Ola – Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
Play-based preschool pedagogy usually relies on informal teaching while policy trends and some research call for increased formalisation of the pedagogy. Using Bernstein's concepts of classification and framing, this article characterises mechanisms that link evaluation of preschool to the push towards the formalisation of teaching in preschool.…

Al-Jarf, Reima – Online Submission, 2022
Teaching and learning of technical terms constitute a major problem for ESP instructors and students. To help the students learn, retain, apply and relate technical terms, a multiple-associations instructional approach that focuses on connecting the printed form of the technical term with its pronunciation (the hidden sounds, double and silent…

Dean, Bonnie; Yanamandram, Venkata; Eady, Michelle J.; Moroney, Tracey; O'Donnell, Nuala; Glover-Chambers, Tracey – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2020
Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) is an important pedagogical strategy for developing employability skills by immersing students in real-world understandings, applications and practices. Increasingly, universities are focusing on how WIL can be scaffolded across a degree, to involve students in a variety of WIL activities in order to apply…

Cox, Richard G. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2016
This classroom activity is designed to help students practice calculating percentiles. The approach of the activity involves physical sorting and full classroom participation in each calculation. The design encourages a more engaged approach than simply having students make a calculation with numbers on a paper.

Dohn, Nina Bonderup; Hansen, Stig Børsen; Klausen, Søren Harnow – Education Sciences, 2018
This article aims to clarify the concept of context. Our motivation is the lack of consensus on what context is, despite common accept of the claim that learning is context-dependent to some degree, and despite a widespread interest in researching learning in specific contexts such as museums, classrooms, or workplace settings. We provide a…

Elliott, Steven; Combs, Sue; Huelskamp, Amelia; Hritz, Nancy – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2017
Creative K-12 health teachers can engage students in large classes by utilizing active learning strategies. Active learning involves engaging students in higher-order tasks, such as analysis and synthesis, which is a crucial element of the movement toward what is commonly called "learner-centered" teaching. Health education teachers who…

Irwin, Clare W.; Madura, John P.; Bamat, David; McDermott, Paul A. – Regional Educational Laboratory Northeast & Islands, 2017
This study used latent class analysis with data from the 2002/03 Head Start Impact Study to determine whether early childhood classrooms can be sorted into classroom quality groups based on their scores on multiple measures of quality, how many classroom quality groups could be identified, and what percentages of classrooms fall within each…
