Snyder, Kailey; Dinkel, Danae; Schaffer, Connie; Hiveley, Seth; Colpitts, Amanda – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2017
Classroom physical activity (PA) has been linked to a multitude of health and academic benefits. However, due to barriers such as lack of time and resources many teachers are not implementing classroom PA to the degree they would like to. One innovative solution is to integrate classroom PA into academic concepts. Based on self-determination…

Orlowski, Marietta; Lorson, Kevin; Lyon, Anna; Minoughan, Susan – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2013
The classroom teacher is a critical team member of a comprehensive school physical activity program and an activity-friendly school environment.

Classrooms are busy places, and classroom teachers must make decisions about how to make the best use of their…

Fedesco, Heather Noel – International Journal of Listening, 2015
On average, people spend between 45% and 70% of their day listening to others (Johnson, 1996). Despite the frequency with which people engage in this activity, its importance in interpersonal interactions may go overlooked. Individuals can typically identify that listening is a valued communication skill (Bambacas & Patrickson, 2008; Papa,…

Carver, Rebecca Bruu; Wiese, Eline Fatima; Breivik, Jarle – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2014
After completion of formal education, the mass media represent people's primary source of scientific information. Besides the traditional attention to scientific knowledge, national curricula are therefore increasingly emphasizing critical and reflexive engagement with media content as a key objective of science education. Despite this curricular…

Cloutier, Aimee; Yew, Guo Zheng; Gupta, Siddhartha; Dissanayake, Kalpani; Monaco, Paula – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2018
The importance of reducing the gender gap in engineering programs by recruiting and retaining female students is well recognized. Although women hold roughly half of all jobs in the United States, only 24% of STEM jobs are occupied by women. The problem is even more pronounced for engineering, where women held about 12% of jobs as of 2013 (Corbett…

Coyne, Richard David; Lee, John; Denitsa, Petrova – Journal of Learning Design, 2017
After explaining our experience with a flipped classroom model of learning, we argue that the approach brings to light the dramaturgical and mediatized aspects of learning experiences that favour a closer connection between recorded content and "live" presentation by the lecturer. We adopted the flipped classroom approach to learning and…

Long, Mary M.; Sandler, Dennis M.; Topol, Martin T. – Journal of Teaching in International Business, 2017
For business schools, AACSB and Middle States' call for more experiential learning is one reason to provide study abroad programs. Universities must attend to the demand for continuous improvement and employ metrics to benchmark and evaluate their relative standing among peer institutions. One such benchmark is the National Survey of Student…

Siddiqui, Nadia; Gorard, Stephen; See, Beng Huat – International Education Studies, 2014
In England, some children have not reached what are considered to be expected levels in literacy and maths by the time they move from primary to secondary school. This is more likely for children living in disadvantaged areas. One proposal to address this is the provision of summer holiday schools for potentially disadvantaged pupils who are…

Di Blas, Nicoletta; Paolini, Paolo – Educational Technology & Society, 2013
Technologies are changing the way we teach and learn in many respects. A relevant and not yet fully explored aspect is that they can support, even entice, students and teachers to go beyond the school boundaries, in spatial and temporal terms. Teachers and learners can keep in touch and work together, when they are not at school; they can access…
