While virtual simulations are a familiar professional training tool, they have only recently been implemented in teacher education programs. These simulations are used to complement traditional student teacher placement. In this paper, the author critically examines one teacher training simulation, TeachLivE, specifically in terms of its implicit…

Scholarship, especially the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), can positively impact teaching and learning practices, yet there are many barriers to community college faculty engagement in these activities. Recognizing the important role of values in motivation and behaviors, the purpose of this study was to understand the perceived…

In 2014 Michael Fullan set his sights on the daily needs of school leaders in his bestselling book "The Principal." This updated edition shows how the principal's role continues to change--alongside our changing world--and how we can embrace the transformation in short order. As crucial in-school influencers of student learning,…

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), whose primary purpose is to improve teaching and learning, has a powerful potential to strengthen educational quality in postsecondary institutions, yet the relationship between a single institution's teaching effectiveness and SoTL support is understudied. We examined evidence for SoTL support at…

Behavioral skills training (BST) (Parsons et al., 2012) is a common intervention for training staff and caregivers to engage in various important behaviors. However, BST is labor intensive, costly, and often requires extensive involvement from a supervisor or experienced trainer (DiGennaro Reed & Henley, 2015), which may not always be…

This article uses the theoretical perspectives of critical discourse analysis (Mayr, 2008; Fairclough, 1992) and critical pedagogy (Pagowsky & McElroy, 2016; Accardi, et al., 2010) to explore how language is a socially regulating structure used to represent and maintain power within the academic context. These perspectives are applied to two…

Research has consistently shown people predominantly rely on undiagnostic nonverbal cues when detecting deceit, whereas verbal cues are more accurate. In three experiments, we investigated whether the simple instruction not to focus on nonverbal cues would make people focus more on diagnostic verbal cues and hence more accurate in detecting lies.…

We have become well-familiar with how unpoetic teaching can be. The prevalence, furthered by much recent reform, of a systematic school culture focused on accountability, standardisation, and learnification often renders teaching dehumanised work. This paper theorises a poetics of teaching. We begin considering poetics, focusing on figurative…

Over its 10-year history, many pages of "Teaching & Learning Inquiry" have been devoted to explorations that feature introspection. At this moment as the journal's founding co-editors, we look at how introspection manifests itself in many ways in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). We propose a taxonomy to help us…

"Teaching, Tenure, and Collegiality" espouses the concept of relationality--the idea that people's activities necessarily emerge through contextual engagement with others--as an alternative to the "publish or perish" ethos in higher education. Building on research by comparative philosophers, Mary K. Chang constructs a concept…

Digital platforms have become central to interaction and participation in contemporary societies. New forms of 'platformized education' are rapidly proliferating across education systems, bringing logics of datafication, automation, surveillance, and interoperability into digitally mediated pedagogies. This article presents a conceptual framework…

There is a need to tell if children are providing truthful testimonies in legal cases. This study examined differences between children's true and false statements obtained using either an interview that included cognitive instructions or one that did not. Children witnessed a theft that they were asked to deny and were interviewed with or without…

Attempt has been made to articulate ideas related to education in a comprehensive manner. The study unifies the substance in education and posits the questions to assess the relationship between educator, educand and teaching learning process. The discussion of the components of education involves Teaching Learning Process (TLP), factors…

Post-critical pedagogy, which offers a significant alternative to the dominant trends in contemporary philosophy of education, objects to seeing education as instrumental to other ends: it attempts to conceive of education as "autotelic," namely as having intrinsic value. While there are good reasons for accepting the post-critical…

This is an explorative work on teaching. The understanding of teaching that I use in my work is that teaching is action, it happens in the present -- here and now. So, while teaching refers to shorter timespans, education in this understanding refers to timespans that are of a longer duration, meaning education is communication between generations…
