The human rewilding movement seeks to regain balance between humans and the more-than-human world through particular ways of knowing and doing. During a sabbatical, I engaged in "rewilding" practices and employed Terrapsychological Inquiry to understand my relationship with the more-than-human world. I sought to learn how this might…

The purpose of this study was to explore instructional designs for promoting inquiry practices in secondary school textbooks. Three criteria were employed to select the textbooks: (1) approved by the Ministry of Education in Singapore and the Ministry of Education and Culture in Indonesia, (2) used in secondary schools, and (3) included content…

Drawing upon the model for science teacher assessment literacy developed by [Abell, S. K., & Siegel, M. A. (2011). Assessment literacy: What science teachers need to know and be able to do. In "The professional knowledge base of science teaching" (pp. 205-221). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-3927-9_12], this study…

Inquiry-based course experiences provide a scalable and equitable way to engage students in research. In this study, we describe how we introduced inquiry-based experiences to ten lower-division and upper-division courses across the biology curriculum at a regionally comprehensive public university serving the diverse population in a major…

Though job opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) continue to expand in the United States, people on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) while in school are continually disadvantaged in future STEM-based career possibilities. Studies have shown that students on IEPs are far less likely to major in a STEM degree…

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…

Appraisal processes are a requirement for professionals working in the education sector. Often appraisal processes do not focus on strengths, rather, it becomes a process of meeting pre-determined requirements. This article takes a strength-based approach to appraisal and discusses a study which pilots the use of an Appreciative Growth Cycle…

The aim of the study is to examine the relations between higher education students' lateral thinking dispositions and inquiry skills. Survey design and Structural Equation Modelling were used in the study. The sampling of the study consisted of 975 prospective teachers attending three faculties of education in three different state universities in…

In this paper, we discuss mathematical modeling opportunities that can be included in an introductory Differential Equations course. In particular, we focus on the development of and extensions to the single salty tank model. Typically, salty tank models are included in course materials with matter-of-fact explanations. These explanations miss the…

This article serves as an overview of qualitative inquiry for leadership development practitioner-scholars both new and experienced. It begins with a discussion of the need for the qualitative inquiry to create knowledge about leadership development. Then, it overviews design components and includes examples of both research and assessment. We…

Practical arguments or enthymemes are interactive. Speakers typically set out some premises of their own while asking listeners to supply others already known or believed. Such arguments are likely to fail if a speaker leaves out key premises that listeners cannot or will not covertly fill in, or if a speaker attributes premises to listeners that…

The use of toys as teaching aids in physics classrooms has a rich history, and the role of play in science education is a well-established line of research. Much of what has been written on the topic has included discussions of specific toys and the implications of using those toys to teach physics. One of the toys from my childhood that seems to…

Postqualitative inquiry (PQI) compels us to think about educational studies in a different way. It requires ways of doing beyond regularised structures of humanist epistemology, ontology, and methodology. This article endeavours to describe my introduction to posthumansism and unplanned discovering of postqualitative inquiry through learning by…

As faculty of an educational leadership doctoral program (EdD) aligned with the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) principles, we acknowledge the importance of inquiry to develop scholarly practitioners. Applying the tenet of Inquiry as Practice, our EdD faculty critically examined the doctoral curriculum to explore ways to…

The most important understanding science students should acquire is arguably an understanding of science as a way of knowing, one central to science but not specific to it. Students' own engagement in scientific inquiry and argument can support this developing understanding but does not guarantee it. We report the results of urban adolescents'…
