Tye G. Campbell; Tracey Hodges; Sheunghyun Yeo; Erin Rich; Kaleigh Pate – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
Despite research demonstrating positive effects of writing on student achievement, writing-to-learn remains under-utilised in mathematics and mathematics teacher education. In this paper, we explore how writing-to-learn tasks in a mathematics methods course influenced elementary preservice teachers' beliefs about teaching in two domains:…

Finkenstaedt-Quinn, Solaire A.; Watts, Field M.; Shultz, Ginger V.; Gere, Anne Ruggles – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2023
The writing-to-learn (WTL) literature is varied in how assignments are structured and implemented in the classroom, making it difficult for instructors to identify how to incorporate writing effectively. Drawing on the WTL literature, the MWrite program was established to work with STEM faculty to design, implement, and assess evidence-based WTL…

Elturki, Eman – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2023
This research explored the nature of writing assignments within disciplinary graduate courses taken by international students while they are in a graduate pathway program. This research also examined how writing tasks in these courses vary across disciplines and looked at how the pathway EAP curriculum supports graduate students' writing needs.…

We investigated the impact of an assignment wrapper in promoting self-regulation of learning in a series of written assignments for a First-Year Biology laboratory. Students completed a planning survey prior to submitting an Introduction assignment. Upon receipt of the graded Introduction, students completed an assignment wrapper, two more written…

Solaire A. Finkenstaedt-Quinn; Jennifer A. Schmidt-McCormack; Field M. Watts; Anne Ruggles Gere; Ginger V. Shultz – Across the Disciplines, 2023
Undergraduate writing fellows play an important role in administering writing assignments in writing-intensive courses. At the University of Michigan, the MWrite program was designed to support the implementation of writing-to-learn (WTL) assignments in STEM courses. Within MWrite, writing fellows are a primary instructional resource for students…

Andrew Williams – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2024
The value of generative AI tools in higher education has received considerable attention. Although there are many proponents of its value as a learning tool, many are concerned with the issues regarding academic integrity and its use by students to compose written assessments. This study evaluates and compares the output of three commonly used…

Gutierrez, Kristie S.; Beck, Jori S.; Hinton, KaaVonia; Rippard, Kelly S.; Suh, Yonghee – Teacher Educator, 2022
The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of providing scaffolded disciplinary writing assignments to develop teacher candidates' multicultural lenses. This study was set in a secondary education program at one mid-Atlantic university. Faculty in this program focused on five dimensions of multicultural education (ME) to better…

Freitas, Kripa – Journal of Economic Education, 2023
Evidence suggests that active engagement with material as it is being taught improves learning. In-class multiple choice questions are a common way to introduce active learning. Low-stakes writing is another. The author of this article provides evidence that using a content-based low-stakes writing prompt with immediate group feedback during the…

Kadowaki, Joy – Teaching Sociology, 2021
A common learning goal of law-related courses taught in sociology classrooms is for students to gain an understanding of the sociological approach to law. This approach emphasizes viewing law as a social process and studying law by analyzing both legal and nonlegal phenomena. A challenge to students' achievement of this learning goal is their…

Watts, Field M.; Park, Grace Y.; Petterson, Michael N.; Shultz, Ginger V. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Organic reaction mechanisms are often represented by the electron-pushing formalism and reaction coordinate diagrams. These representations pose a challenge to students because valuable information is encoded within each representation, and students must know how to reason about mechanisms using both. Hence, it is important to understand whether…

Miller, Elisabeth L.; Weisse, Kathleen Daly; Hughes, Bradley – Across the Disciplines, 2022
This research study of a WAC learning community focuses on instructors' behind-the-scenes decision making about assignment design. Specifically, we show how instructors use direct personal experience--as students, teachers and scholars--to approach writing assignment design, invoking these experiences to discuss the origin of their assignments and…

Klucevsek, Kristin M. – Across the Disciplines, 2022
Students in the sciences learn to engage with primary research articles as a fundamental part of their discipline, essential to both writing and research. These sources are difficult to navigate, leading students to use (and misuse) these sources in a variety of complex ways. As instructors and researchers, we are aware of these challenges, but…

Juli D. Uhl; Megan Shiroda; Kevin C. Haudek – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
National calls to improve science education include focusing on scientific practices coupled with learning disciplinary core ideas. Among the practices is constructing explanations. In the field of cellular and molecular biology, explanations typically include a mechanism and can be used to make predictions about phenomena. In this work, we…

Sedlacek, Quentin C. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Writing activities can function as powerful teaching tools in science education -- but are their benefits realised equitably? The answer may depend in part on how teachers interpret and respond to student writing in light of societal stereotypes that link scientific competence, linguistic competence, and racial, ethnic, or gender identity. In this…

Wind, Stefanie A.; Walker, A. Adrienne – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2020
Scoring procedures for many rater-mediated performance assessments include score resolution procedures in which a third rater adjudicates discrepancies between two raters' ratings of the same performance. There are numerous approaches for calculating resolved scores that involve different combinations of the original and third ratings. Using data…
