Ellingson, Charlene L. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Background/Context: Science is in the midst of reform, shifting away from teaching science and mathematics in isolation from one another, toward a model that prioritizes integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning environments. Since teachers are the most important factor in determining the success and…

Gintaras K. Duda; Mary Ann Danielson – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2018
The Collaborative Curricular (re)Construction, or C3, was an initiative at Creighton University that paired faculty (academics) and students in a process of backward course design, in two cohorts, in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 academic years. Faculty/student pairs worked over the span of a year to redesign a course within their discipline; courses…

Jiang, Tao; Chen, Ji-gen; Xu, Ping-chuan; Zeng, Ping-fei – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
Although much research has explored the personal, family, school, and social influences on adolescents' career expectations, little is known about the types of family-related career expectations of students and career expectation contexts in school. Using PISA 2018 test data, a multilevel latent profile analysis was conducted with indicators of…

Lee, Wei Ching; Der-Thanq Chen, Victor; Wang, Li-Yi – Teacher Development, 2021
Teachers' consideration may affect their intention to implement learner-centred pedagogy. Literature showed that aspects such as task goal, students' characteristics, teachers' ability, learning environment design, and school shape teacher considerations in teaching analysis. However, the interrelationship among these aspects remains largely…
