Following the frameworks for research and inquiry-based learning, this paper describes a series of activities that can be used in undergraduate management classrooms to expose students to management research. The focus of these activities on finding reputable article summaries allows instructors to introduce management research, explain how to…

This paper considers educational futures from the perspective of social justice. It takes as its framework futures studies, which looks at what is probable (what is likely to happen), what is possible (what could happen), and what is preferable (what we would like to see/make happen). It also makes the case for science fiction as a method of…

Guided by the questions "What can a dance curriculum look like when it purposefully integrates social-emotional learning?" and "What can we learn from the process of designing curriculum at the intersection of dance and SEL?" we relate the experience of creating curriculum for early elementary students. We build on current…

They thought they felt "something," perhaps. The wisp of an outline not distinct enough to trace. Good. They circled it, at times, and at other times found themselves within. As they walked (a sort of walking. Figurative but real. Digital, but here. Over months of events), it curled open and headed in several directions. Foldings in the…

This dissertation is aimed at articulating and empirically characterizing an expansive orientation to field-based socio-ecological systems learning that elevates participatory and ethically-engaged approaches to teaching and learning. Grounded in relational ways of knowing, this dissertation works to expand and transform normative educational…

This conversation analytic study investigates the use of the Japanese contrastive marker "demo" "but" as a preface to responses to polar questions. "Demo"-prefaced responses are one type of nonconforming answers, that is, responses that provide (dis)affirmation to preceding questions without yes/no-tokens. This study…

Purpose: Poetic inquiry is an approach that promotes alternate perspectives about what research means and speaks to more diverse audiences than traditional forms of research. Across academia, there is increasing attention to decolonising research. This reflects a shift towards research methods that recognise, acknowledge and appreciate diverse…

As understanding of STEM education pedagogy deepens, traditional lecture-based courses evolve to include new philosophies, such as active learning, project-based learning, and inquiry-based learning (IBL). Additionally, hands-on educational experiences at the early stages of an undergraduate program are seminal in propelling students into the…

The disappointing results of the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in Civics and U.S. History have further fueled the call for consistent, high-quality social studies instruction. The response by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) highlighted the imperative for early grades, claiming "the lack of a solid…

This article describes the use of clusters in facilitating inquiry and expanding learning opportunities for advanced and gifted students. Options are presented that extend or reinforce the central focus of curricular investigations. These clusters enhance the gifted students' understanding of the connections that reinforce and/or extend the impact…

Definitions play an integral role in mathematics and mathematics classes. Yet, expectations for definitions and how they are intended to operate, i.e., mathematical norms for definitions, can remain hidden from students and conflict with other discursive norms, explaining differences in mathematicians' and students' understandings of the nature of…

This article presents an inquiry-oriented lesson for teaching Lagrange's theorem in abstract algebra. This lesson was developed and refined as part of a larger grant project focused on how to "Orchestrate Discussions Around Proof" (ODAP, the name of the project). The lesson components were developed and refined with attention to how well…

This chapter describes how instructors can foster curiosity and exploration to improve digital literacy for college students. It also details multiple inquiry-based teaching strategies that may be used in digital literacy contexts.

This activity guide provides scenarios, questions for further discussion, and sample activities for each of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards Frameworks--Learner, School Librarian, and School Library--across the four Domains--Think, Create, Share, and Grow. These engaging activities will support school librarians in…

Curiosity motivates the search for missing information, driving learning, scientific discovery, and innovation. Yet, identifying that there is a gap in one's knowledge is itself a critical step, and may demand that one formulate a question to precisely express what is missing. Our work captures the integral role of self-generated questions during…
