Background: 'Learning to Learn' (L2L) is considered a key skill for the twenty-first century. It is understood here as a hyper-competence, which mobilises resources of the individual and/or groups in a sense-making effort to improve or update one's own learning. By means of classroom assessment during the teaching-learning cycle, teachers can…

Background/Context: Over the last two decades, policymakers' standards-based accountability reforms in the United States have fundamentally changed public schooling in general and kindergarten specifically. As this has occurred, little has been learned about how the children themselves make sense of these changes in schooling.…

The purpose of this article is to discuss student voice as a meaningful pedagogical practice in elementary physical education to promote student agency and learning. Four questions are answered: What is student voice? How can authentic student voice be accessed? How and where might student voice be enacted in practice? And, how can student voice…

Proficiencies in global knowledge are essential to student growth and preparation in any career, and individual courses have the capacity to achieve important global learning benchmarks. With international students on the decline at institutions of higher education in the United States, and the predicted delay in returning to study abroad after…

Cognitive ability and curiosity are significant predictors of academic achievement; yet the processes underlying these relations are not well understood. I drew on ideas from the environmental enrichment hypothesis and the differential preservation hypothesis and hypothesized that epistemic behavior acts as a mediator. Longitudinal data were…

This chapter will refer to recent art practices in order to explore the idea of a subject-yet-to-come in the domains of pedagogy and learning. It will argue for an immanence of pedagogy in art practice where the event of art and its affect, forces thought to think and to individuate new worlds. One aim is to try to think beyond conceptions of…

This book documents a collaborative action research project in one school where researchers and practitioners worked together to develop multimodal literacies and pedagogies for diverse, multilingual elementary classrooms. Following chronologically from Lotherington's "Pedagogy of Multiliteracies" (2011), this volume picks up after…

Debriefing, the reflective activity following an experiential learning exercise, has been identified as the most important part of simulation learning and is also important for learning in other activities utilized in nursing education. There is general agreement that debriefing provides learning and improves performance. However, there is little…

The COVID-19 viral pandemic affected all facets of life, including schooling. In March 2020, schools abruptly ended face-to-face instruction and transitioned to emergency remote instruction. David Marshall, David Shannon, and Savanna Love surveyed teachers nationally between mid-March and early April 2020 to understand their experiences during…

Background: Female learning of movement in elite combat sports has not been studied enough to date. Literature on movement learning and teaching of complex skills has not, to date, focused on karate, and the scarce literature on the learning of elite karate practitioners mostly does not focus on women. Nevertheless, women fighters participated in…

Informal science activities occurring at various non-traditional learning sites present a pivotal model for involving youths in the science learning process. The dynamic landscape of emerging technologies has prompted the exploration of innovative methodologies to bolster and refine informal science education. However, the expanse of this field…

Drawing on data from five large enrolment introductory courses in a public university, we compared students' perceptions of blended learning on design, interaction, learning, and satisfaction in four different blended models. The models, which were the result of a course redesign initiative, had different combinations of face-to-face lectures,…

Despite numerous efforts to align educational practice more closely with findings from educational research, there is little clarity about how educational practitioners can, in principle, use research. We propose a conceptualisation based on how research can contribute to practitioners' thinking: specifically, our framework proposes that research…

Purpose: The aim of this article is to point out that assessment should serve as useful information about the development of learners' capabilities, but not define, measure, evaluate, and confer "merit." Design/Approach/Methods: By arguing the current assessments are institutionalized which have deeply embedded social, cultural, and…

This research aimed at proposing virtual immersive learning environments (VILEs) based on digital storytelling to enhance deeper learning for undergraduate students in all fields. The VILEs based on digital storytelling to enhance deeper learning for undergraduate students was developed based on the review of the literature, the expert's interview…
