This article calls for replication of two studies (Li, Zhu & Ellis 2016; Arroyo & Yilmaz 2018) that examine the timing of corrective feedback, which refers to whether errors should be corrected during a communicative task (immediate feedback) or after the task is completed (delayed feedback). The article starts with a rationale for…

When one sets out to solve a mathematics problem, a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment comes with finding the answer and knowing it is correct. In contrast, a student performing the correct process to solve an algebra equation and getting an answer such as 3 = 0 may be left perplexed and not understanding what--if anything--he or she did…

Recalibrating the role of higher education in higher education is no small task. Assessment is vital to understand which efforts prove fruitful and which do not. This chapter discusses the importance of thoughtful framing and design of CLDE learning outcomes, methodological pluralism, and the opportunities available by sharing assessment findings.

This paper proposes an updated framework for the evaluation of the computer-assisted language learning (CALL) framework, further developed from Chapelle (2001) and González-Lloret and Ortega (2014). Based on a review of prominent previous CALL evaluation frameworks, an exploration of relevant literature in formal evaluation and my own first-hand…

This article presents the analysis and discussion of solving geometry tasks by Portuguese Basic Education students, using material from the Poly-UNiverse in Teacher Training Education (PUNTE) project. The teaching experience developed was aimed at testing and disseminating new resources, and innovative and transdisciplinary methodologies in the…

This article describes how to build a classroom community by building representations and visualizations of data related to students' names. The goal of this task was to allow students to get to know each other's identities better by collecting and analyzing data about their names and exploring the connection between names and identities. The task…

Despite the best of intentions on the part of overworked and undertrained classroom teachers, instructional planning can too often be described as idiosyncratic, haphazard, and lacking any logically or pedagogically defensible structure. In this article, Tim Westerberg highlights the importance of a unifying planning framework that ensures…

Tasks involving real-world contexts offer opportunities for teachers to engage students in mathematical practices (Standards for Mathematical Practice; NGA Center and CCSSO 2010). The practice of reasoning abstractly and quantitatively requires students to decontextualize and contextualize a task. Decontextualizing a task involves representing it…

Over the last few years, Norway's lower secondary education has increasingly integrated one device for each student, reflecting broader technological trends in the Western world. To plan for learning and assessment in one-to-one classrooms, this article advocates for an ecological approach by elaborating on the term "educational…

This manuscript describes how one entry-level occupational therapy doctoral (OTD) program used an innovative approach to scaffolding assignments through a cognitive apprenticeship (CA) framework. Cognitive apprenticeship strategies include learning in the context or culture of the profession. This is achieved through observation, coaching,…

This article revisits the role of cognitive individual differences in creating synergies between second language (L2) writing and second language acquisition research that were proposed by Kormos (2012). It takes stock of the advances in research findings, in the past decade, on the role of working memory and language learning aptitude in L2…

This article presents a modified version of the bridge drawing assessment administered to a substance use disorder population at admission and discharge from a residential addiction treatment center. Following an overview of the bridge drawing assessment and method, the authors present two case descriptions that illustrate how the modified task…

Culturally rich stories may not explicitly refer to mathematical content. Consequently, teachers may overlook the potential for using content-invisible literature as a resource for mathematical investigations. Reflecting on the key elements of the what from the What-How-Who structure builds teachers' capacity to develop paramount tasks from…

Engaging preservice teachers in the analysis of videos of teaching has become a widely-used and highly-regarded approach within teacher preparation. This approach has become even more pronounced in the wake of COVID-19. Despite the myriad ways that video can support teacher preparation, uncertainties remain regarding how to design and facilitate…

An extended (and probably unnecessary) parallel is drawn between engagement in mathematics and engagement in musical performance. Key facets of engagement are described and a model of how mathematics engagement plays out in task-level activities is discussed in light of new findings related to its social and emotional facets. Implications for…
