It is critical to promote solid and long-lasting learning techniques in children and adolescents worldwide, including the most underprivileged ones, to improve various aspects of life. Consequentially, research should identify learning techniques that are beneficial for school-age children and that could be easy and inexpensive to apply in…

Although previous research provides insights into how gestures function as a pedagogical tool, relatively little is known about how gesture is related to language, together creating a key meaning-making teaching resource. Drawing on the system of logico-semantic relations in Systemic Functional Linguistic theory and McNeill's description of…

This article examines the liberatory potential of student-led discussions in an increasingly neoliberal global context. More specifically, it will explore one such poetry-oriented practice as it embodies theories from scholars like Peter Rabinowitz and Michael Smith (as established in "Authorizing Readers: Resistance and Respect in the…

This qualitative study examines student learning experiences toward a student-developed case study activity for online discussion guided by a three-tier case method model. Forty-five students were recruited from four online adult education courses. Analysis of students' feedback shows that this activity leads to students' positive learning…

In recent years, there has been a growing effort to deepen our understanding of the complexities and mechanisms involved in integrating technology into mathematics education. This pursuit has led to the emergence of various theoretical frameworks, among which the Structuring Features of Classroom Practice (SFCP) (Ruthven, 2009) stands out. This…

This research examines classroom methodologies aligned with the communicative approach, gauging the perspectives of English teachers working within vocational high schools (VHSs). The study, employing a qualitative case study research design, engaged 10 teachers from diverse backgrounds. The participants volunteered for the study and were selected…

This essay argues that embodied pedagogies of emergence are fundamental to facilitating student wellbeing in the classroom. It shows that such classroom approaches require an incorporation of contemplative pedagogies to be truly attuned to presence; likewise contemplative pedagogies require an emergent approach -- particularly the recasting of…

This meditation on subjectivity draws on mundane and explicitly political contexts to argue for mathematics education practices that help us understand how people use mathematics to shape our world. I use two contexts to consider how to develop citizens who understand how we are subjugated by mathematical systems (designed and sustained by…

While emergent pedagogies offer potentially high impact, the risks in using such pedagogies can be significant when not handled carefully. This article explores the cautions and limitations of emergent-based pedagogies such as case-in-point, intentional emergence, and group relations. Leadership educators who use emergent-based approaches need to…

Microaggressions remain a pertinent subject of study due to their subtle yet impactful nature, as evidenced by their potential to accumulate over time and yield negative consequences. Leveraging the Racial Microaggression Scale and the Teacher Sense of Self-Efficacy Scale, this study offers valuable insights into measuring both microaggressions…

Anxiety problems are common in children and can have profound adverse effects on personal, social and academic life. Almost 40% of anxiety disorders emerge before age 14, making primary schools invaluable settings for prevention and early support of child anxiety. Research indicates that school-based interventions can be costly and difficult to…

Authentic engagement is a choice students make every day to bring themselves to their learning, work, and relationships--rather than simply go through the motions of school. It means sharing experiences; asking questions; trying new things; making mistakes; and allowing themselves to be seen, heard, and cared for. It's an active choice that can…

"Using Educational Psychology in Teaching" helps readers learn to apply educational psychology theories and research to their own classroom practice. This book teaches using an integrated-case approach, with every chapter starting with a true-life classroom case study. The case is then woven throughout the chapter. The 12th Edition…

Many preservice teachers often find classroom management theories and concepts too abstract to effectively address the specific challenges they encounter in real classrooms. To bridge this gap, educators commonly employ case-based instructional techniques to immerse preservice teachers in the contextual complexities of classroom management. This…

Getting students talking about a work of literature -- sharing and interrogating their own and each other's textual interpretations and responses -- is vital for the teaching and learning of literature. If a classroom community of readers is constituted by such talking, then responsive teaching involves a lot of "listening." What,…
