Portmann, Renee R. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Community colleges are unique in the higher education realm. Open access, the demographics of students, communities served, locations, and funding sources all present distinct circumstances. A strategic plan supported by leadership, faculty, staff and the external environment is needed to steer students on pathways to success. The focus on…

Breslyn, Wayne; Drewes, Andrea; McGinnis, J. Randy; Hestness, Emily; Mouza, Chrystalla – Science Education International, 2017
Climate change encompasses a broad and complex set of concepts that is often challenging for students and educators. Using a learning progressions (LPs) knowledge system, we developed a LP that described student learning of climate change. In this exploratory study, we present findings from written assessments of climate change (n = 294) and…

Wynants, Shelli A.; Dennis, Jessica M. – Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, 2017
Despite the critical role that faculty play in the success of students with disabilities in higher education, professional development for promoting the understanding of these students' needs and the employment of inclusive instructional strategies to enhance their success has been limited. To better assess the potential of the online environment…

Bueddefeld, Jill N. H.; Van Winkle, Christine M. – Environmental Education Research, 2018
Places like zoos, where free-choice learning is encouraged, are important for conveying climate change and sustainability issues to the public. Free-choice learning that targets environmentally focused sustainable behavior changes must be meaningful in order to encourage actual behavior change post-visit. However, visitors often fail to translate…

Strickling, Laura Rutter; Doneker, Karen Lee – Metropolitan Universities, 2014
Drawing upon data from twenty-five interviews, this paper examines how the Maryland State Department of Education's Cross-functional Team navigates its changing role from compliance monitor to breakthrough partner in terms of discourse, time, and flexibility, as it carries out the work of the Breakthrough Center. It also examines how the role of…

Wee, Su-Jeong; Weber, Elsa K.; Park, Soyeon – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2014
This research examines specific areas of confidence and concern as expressed by 40 American undergraduate early childhood students on a practicum (supervised field-based internships); if their beliefs changed over the course of their practicum, and if prior teaching experience had an impact on their confidence levels. Areas of confidence and…

Field, John; Lynch, Heather – Journal of Adult and Continuing Education, 2015
Flexibility and change are typically viewed as endemic features of late modernity, leading to increased emphasis on the importance of transition during the adult life course. The paper examines experiences of transition for eight contributors to a research project that collected and analysed life histories as the basis for an understanding of…

O'Farrelly, Christine; Hennessy, Eilis – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2014
Unlike the transitions children make between settings, those they undertake between age groups within early childhood care and education (ECCE) settings are seldom studied. Accordingly, this exploratory study followed seven preschool children (three boys and four girls) as they moved to new rooms in five ECCE settings. Structured observations of…

The Impact of Teachers and Their Science Teaching on Students' "Science Interest": A Four-Year Study
Logan, Marianne R.; Skamp, Keith R. – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
There is a crisis in school science in Australia and this may be related to insufficient students developing an interest in science. This extended study looked at changes in 14 students' interest in science as they moved through junior secondary school into Year 10. Although the majority of these students still had an interest in science in Year…

Ertmer, Peggy A.; Schlosser, Sarah; Clase, Kari; Adedokun, Omolola – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2014
A mixed-methods research study was designed to examine teachers' knowledge and confidence for implementing a STEM-based problem-based learning (PBL) unit in their 6-12 grade science and math classrooms. Twenty-one teachers (7 in-service and 13 pre-service) participated in an intensive two-week summer workshop during which they engaged in, and then…
