Roberts, David – College Teaching, 2018
College and university teaching involves almost universally and hegemonically the large group lecture format. This ubiquitous learning and teaching space has, however, long been criticized for the production of passive learning in which the "sage on the stage" transmits, and students receive passively. This article reports on and…

Sezen-Barrie, Asli – Science & Education, 2018
Drawn from the cultural-historical theories of knowing and doing science, this article uses the concept of professional vision to explore what scientists and experienced teachers see and articulate as important aspects of climate science practices. The study takes an abductive reasoning approach to analyze scientists' videotaped lectures to…

Norris, Meghan E. – Journal of Service-Learning in Higher Education, 2016
Multi-disciplinary programs are growing, and serve an integral role in fostering knowledge transfer among disciplines and the community. Despite their importance, relatively little has been written on how to foster success in multidisciplinary higher education engagement initiatives, particularly in ways that encompass service-learning. The…
