Maggie MacLure – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
The article describes practices of "intensive reading" for post-qualitative inquiry, drawing on the work of Deleuze, with some examples from the author's own research. To read intensively is to experience the forward propulsion toward something not-yet-present. That forward momentum, and the fragmented path that it carves through the…

Holton, D. A.; Thomas, M. O. J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In this paper we follow a hypothetical mathematician who is working on a problem that is eventually solved. We treat this problem as if it were difficult for the mathematician. In following the mathematician's work, we note both what she does and what she doesn't do in the process. By the latter, we consider the times when progress is not being…

Jing Xiang; Zaoxiu Fu – International Dialogues on Education, 2022
The comprehensive practical activity curriculum can be said to be created to cater to children's curiosity and nature of exploration. Through the creation of problem situations, children are guided not only to explore what the world is, but also to pay close attention to what the world will be and cultivate children's key competencies in the real…

Fung, Fun Man; Watts, Simon Francis – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The redesign of an advanced analytical and physical chemistry practical module for senior undergraduates is described in this report. The underpinning rationale for the changes is to use cooperative learning groups placed in situations beyond their previous experience to increase the student experience of Kolb's Learning Cycle to a level greater…

White, Jacob; Costilow, Kimberly; Dotson, Jacob; Mauldin, Robert; Schanandore, Mattie; Shockley, Denise – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In this guided-inquiry lesson, students were tasked with determining the efficacy of an at-home drinking water filter at removing lead (Pb) from tap water using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy by determining the concentration of lead before and after filtration. The lesson was structured to allow students to choose and perform…

Kova´cs, Lajos; Betya´r, Ga´bor; Korom, Erzse´bet – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Chemistry curricula in part rely on the use of laboratory demonstrations and experiments. The complex nature of this kind of educational activity has been posing challenges from the very early days of teaching chemistry. As chemistry is an experimental science, one possible approach to make the teaching of this subject more efficient is to use…

Croisant, Michael; Bretz, Stacey Lowery; Konkolewicz, Dominik – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The ACS Guidelines for bachelor's degrees in chemistry call for the curriculum to include polymer chemistry principles and the synthesis of different classes of macromolecules. Organic chemistry can provide an important introduction to polymer chemistry principles, and photochemically induced radical polymerization is one method for generating…

McGarry, Karen – LEARNing Landscapes, 2019
Acting reflexively implies a "self-critical and self-conscious stance" (Glass, 2015, p. 555) of recognizing myself within a research process as an intentional participant-practitioner of generating knowledge. This article attempts to reveal visual evidence across a landscape of textual references and material implementations as a process…

Manousaridis, Tracy – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Students thrive when presented with tasks that are approachable, challenging, and interesting. Remembering to challenge all students is essential, not just those who excel in mathematics; teachers need to open the door to meaningful mathematics for every learner. In this exploration into subtraction patterns, teachers will see how curious young…

Favero, Giacomo; Brugia, Mattia; Mancin, Fabrizio; Bonomi, Renato – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
In recent years, nanotechnology has been one of the major subjects of scientific and technological research. Currently, several applications of nanotechnologies are already available on the market. Particularly relevant are the fields of new materials and sensors, which have excellent potential future applications in the biomedical field. This…

Mitchell, April; Lott, Kimberly – Science and Children, 2020
By bringing everyday phenomena into the classroom, teachers can more readily engage students in authentic scientific inquiry. When working with young children, the best phenomena are those that students can directly experience and investigate. Meaningful phenomena can be identified by watching children at play, listening to the conversations they…

Scott, Kevin A.; Marciniak, Alexander; Benson, William G.; Polt, Robin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This modular, open-framework capstone course delves deeply into the synthesis, separation, and characterization of chiral molecules while teaching critical thinking and writing skills in a research-like setting within a fertile area for discovery. This course has evolved over 30 years and has been in its present form for 5 years at the time of…

Avent, Cherie M.; Boyce, Ayesha S.; LaBennett, Richard; Taylor, Darlene K. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Mastery of core chemistry content is a degree requirement for several STEM majors. Gatekeeper courses, like general and physical chemistry, have a history of weeding out struggling students, and often underrepresented groups underperform. While gatekeeper courses ensure students are prepared for STEM degrees, it is essential they do not create…

McGough, Julie V.; Nyberg, Lisa M. – NSTA Press, 2017
Children want to explore, dig, build, play, and wonder. To do this they need to touch, feel, see, observe, listen, manipulate, plan, and create. How does a teacher build and maintain a learning environment that will help students investigate meaningful questions? How does a teacher plan and manage ongoing investigations? How does a teacher use…
