This article engages posthuman theory to propose a rethinking of the theory and practice of relational pedagogies within higher education (HE). There has been renewed emphasis within HE discourses on the significance of relationships within learning and teaching as a means to offer a counter-view to an uncaring marketised HE system. This article…

In recent years, educators, administrators, policymakers, and measurement experts have called for assessments that support educators in making better instructional decisions. One promising approach to measurement to support instructional decision-making is diagnostic classification models (DCMs). DCMs are flexible psychometric models that…

The post-pandemic expectations of today's students require greater innovation in teaching and learning. Rapidly changing technologies and software applications will drastically change how higher education is structured and disseminated. In this article, the authors examine the use of micro-credentialing, the potential and challenges of Artificial…

Studying Biblical Hebrew is increasingly considered a viable option for students with dyslexia. This presents particular challenges not just for the students but also for their teachers, because the pedagogical methods for teaching ancient languages have traditionally depended on strategies that create difficulties for dyslexic students. This…

This paper approaches climate change as a superordinate concern that should guide a holistic transformation of formal schooling towards integration and sustainability. The call for climate change education (CCE) has been amplified by international organizations and youth protestors alike, united by a shared concern for our planet. By combining CCE…

This paper discusses the ethical challenges presented by artificial intelligence (AI) within the instructional process for students with disabilities. The authors briefly overview technological changes in education and applications of AI in education in addition to policy. Discussion is directed toward the development of an ethical pedagogy using…

This study addresses suggestions for analyzing science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components and their interactions and these suggestions are expected to facilitate the analysis of science teachers' PCK, resulting in more accurate representations of PCK. Knowledge of the science curriculum, knowledge of students' understanding…

In this article, I (a) overview the ebbs and flows of two beginning reading approaches (code-emphasis and balanced instruction) used in U.S. schools from 1950 to the present; (b) compare and contrast the two instructional approaches; and (c) suggest some simple assessment procedures that can be used to measure student learning. In closing, I…

This paper examines the potential uses of ChatGPT in generating assessment tasks that can be used across different disciplines in higher education. To illustrate this, we provide examples from three courses in the disciplines of industrial engineering and applied linguistics: Project Analysis and Control, Manufacturing Processes, and Introduction…

Learner diversity has been identified as a barrier to language learning and teaching. The purpose of this article was to conduct an analysis of the implementation of Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory in the field of English language teaching. MI theory, as introduced by Howard Gardner (1983), offers a new concept of intelligence, one that has led…

Games play a very important role in promoting incidental learning and help in exploring both the conscious and subconscious processes such as insight of a learner. Digital Game-Based Learning and assessments are now an integral part of educational practices. When designed effectively digital games can take the learners from the stage of…

The Pirie-Kieren Model (PKM) was a paradigm shift in theories of learning by presenting a coherent, consistent theory compatible with complexity theory. PKM recognized that learning is non-linear, recursive, iterative, and emergent. PKM was one of the first theories to depart from the linear models of learning that dominated theories of learning…

The article begins with a review of the shared metacognition construct and its function within the Community of Inquiry theoretical framework. The primary focus of the shared metacognition construct is the role of learners to take responsibility and control for monitoring and managing learning in a community of inquiry. Pragmatic challenges are…

In this paper we argue that the complexity of education systems can lead to a lack of coherence in the implementation of policy. More effective educational change requires policymakers and researchers to pay more attention to supporting teachers in classrooms. As an example, we consider decades of research attempts in STEM education to implement…

To base teaching on student thinking requires analyzing and interpreting students' thinking, key components of the construct of professional noticing (e.g., Jacobs et al., 2010). Although substantial research has been conducted using this construct, less attention has been paid to teachers' evaluations of student work based on these analyses and…
