Bouck, Emily C.; Yadav, Aman – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2022
The ideas of computational thinking (CT) and computer science (CS) are increasingly being integrated into K-12 education. Yet, insufficient attention exists regarding access and exposure of CT and CS for students with disabilities. In this Technology in Action, the authors sought to present an argument--as well as actual activities--for teachers…

Cormas, Peter C.; Middlemiss, Samantha – School Science and Mathematics, 2019
Mathematics and science have similar learning processes (SLPs) and it has been proposed that courses focused on these and other similarities promote transfer across disciplines. However, it is not known how the use of these processes in lessons taught to children change throughout a preservice teacher education course or which are most likely to…

Woods, Dawn M. – International Journal of Technology in Education, 2021
Number talks are short mathematical discussions offering sensemaking opportunities for students. Aside from bolstering students' mathematical learning, this instructional routine may also support preservice teachers (PSTs) in investigating how to facilitate discussion-focused instruction. In this study, PSTs engage in a learning cycle to explore,…
