Paul Meara; Imma Miralpeix – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2024
This paper is part 4 in a series of workshops that examine the properties of some simple models of vocabulary networks. This Workshop explores how the overall activity level of a vocabulary network can be altered by changing the connections in the network (i.e., by implementing relinking events). The Workshop is linked to an online practice room…

Paul Meara; Imma Miralpeix – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2022
The idea that a vocabulary is a network of words is one that has become a common theme of the second language (L2) vocabulary research literature. However, not many people have considered the wider implications of this powerful metaphor. This paper is the first in a series of workshops that examines some of these implications. In this first…

Paul Meara; Imma Miralpeix – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2025
This paper is part 5 of a series of workshops that examines the properties of some simple models of vocabulary networks. While previous workshops dealt with activating words in the network, this workshop focuses on vocabulary loss. We will simulate two possible ways of modelling attrition: (a) explicitly turning active words OFF, and (b) raising…

Victoria Akin; Emily Braley; Jack Bookman – Journal of Faculty Development, 2023
This article describes a one semester Professional Development for Teaching (PDT) seminar designed for mathematics Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) that focuses on the implementation of active-learning techniques. The PDT seminar models active-learning strategies so GTAs have experiences to draw on when teaching undergraduate classes. A…

Schrodt, Katie; Barksdale, Bonnie; Fields, R. Stacy – Texas Journal of Literacy Education, 2022
This article seeks to empower teachers to create a literacy environment in which children begin to identify as writers: confident, willing to take risks, engaged, excited, persistent, resilient, resourceful, and self-starting. The teaching methods provided in the article are centered around the writer's workshop model, applied in a Kindergarten…

Drawing on insights from a four-day online workshop, which explored geo-engineering and policy making with 13 youth participants, an academic and youth authorial team provide a guide to the co-creation of policy briefs. Drawing on excerpts from the policy brief at different stages of development and commentary provided by the authors during the…

Pinto, Carla M. A.; Mendonça, Jorge – Open Education Studies, 2022
In this paper we provide a description of the project DrIVE-MATH, highlighting the main goals, intellectual outputs, outcomes, the involved partners, and activities and reports from the three-years' project. At the end we discuss the impact of the new proposed Education models at various levels, from students, to HEIs, to stakeholders.

Yoshinobu, Stan; Jones, Matthew G.; Hayward, Charles N.; Schumacher, Carol; Laursen, Sandra L. – PRIMUS, 2023
Faculty professional development is an important lever for change in supporting instructors to adopt research-based instructional strategies that engage students intellectually, foster learning-supportive attitudes and habits of mind, and strengthen their persistence in mathematics. Yet the literature contains few well-rationalized models for…

Jennifer Sou; Leah Pappas; Khairunnisa; Gary Holton – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2023
Language documentation is increasingly seen as a collaborative process, engaging community members as active participants. Collaborative research produces better documentation that is valuable for both the academic community and the speakers. However, in many communities, speakers and language advocates lack the skills necessary to fully engage in…

Gunshenan, Clare; Inouye, Martha; Houseal, Ana; Jacobs, Tracy – Science and Children, 2021
In this article, the authors share how model lessons spaced throughout the year, connected by a single anchoring phenomenon, provided opportunities for teachers to build schema for complex science learning as they shifted between "learner hats" and "teacher hats." Descriptions of the authors' workshop sessions include…

Gauthier, Launa; Waqar, Yasira – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2021
Research shows that cascade training models are common approaches to improving teaching in many developing countries. Cascade models are popular for reaching large cohorts of teachers in a short time and often at a low cost. However, they have been criticized because training efforts can get diluted and transmission modes of instruction tend to…

Hanuscin, Deborah; King, Karen; Cisterna, Dante – Science and Children, 2019
In this article, the authors present a 5E learning cycle for fifth grade that focuses on using a model of matter to explain the properties they observe, and how those properties can help identify whether two objects are made of the same type of matter. That model also helps explain phenomena such as why a specific material floats, no matter how…

Patil, Tejaswini; Hunt, Michelle; Cooper, Kimberlea; Townsend, Rob – Australian Journal of Adult Learning, 2020
This article reflects on the developmental process of a case-based experiential learning model: the Federation University model, in an undergraduate community and human services program at a regional university. There is abundant literature that addresses the use and need for introducing experiential learning at the subject/unit level in community…

Apple, Lillian; Baunach, John; Connelly, Glenda; Gahlhoff, Sonia; Romanowicz, Colleen Megowan; Vieyra, Rebecca Elizabeth; Walker, Lucas – Physics Teacher, 2021
Multiple initiatives contend that all students should master computational thinking, including the "Next Generation Science Standards, the K-12 Framework for Computational Thinking," and Code.org. In turn, many physics teachers have begun to explore a variety of approaches to integrating computational modeling through programming. These…
