Teachers routinely observe and interpret student behavior to make judgements about whether and how to support their students' learning. Simulated cases can help pre-service teachers to gain this skill of diagnostic reasoning. With 118 pre-service teachers, we tested whether participants rate simulated cases presented in a serial-cue case format as…

Castillo-Montoya, Milagros; Ives, Jillian – Journal of Higher Education, 2021
Drawing on students' prior knowledge can enhance learning, but we know little about how instructors learn to teach with this knowledge in mind. Through a two-year embedded case study, we sought to examine how 10 college instructors' teaching conceptions and practices relevant to minoritized students' prior knowledge shifted over the course of two…
