Student reflection plays an essential role in service-learning projects to help students prepare for their service, process their experience, and reevaluate their experience to gain new understanding and appreciation. However, instructors encounter various challenges when integrating reflections into service-learning. Given the wide variety of…

We, six elementary mathematics teacher educators (MTEs), noticed that many of our elementary pre-service teachers (EPSTs) were limited by their views of mathematics, typically as the result of their prior experiences with learning mathematics. Much of the research around such limiting views focuses primarily on negative experiences or treats such…

This research study examined international school teachers' perceptions of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC), and whether or not the teachers' sociocultural background could predict their ICC level. To collect data, 55 international school teachers participated in the quantitative phase of the study, out of which nine were selected for…

Exploring the place and potential of 'research' in undergraduate degrees has stimulated higher-educational debate for decades, strongly influencing policies, practices and structures. This article's consideration of some problems associated with teaching and learning about research during the first year of undergraduate degrees, helps throw that…

Teachers hope that students will take what they have learned and apply it to other contexts.

As the research was made in…

Undergraduate research is viewed as an important catalyst for educational engagement and persistence, with an emphasis on the faculty mentoring relationship. Despite the common practice of having multi-tiered lab teams composed of newer undergraduates and more seasoned undergraduates serving as peer mentors, less is understood about the experience…

In laboratory settings, research has found a mismatch between teachers' practices and the likelihood they have to influence students' perceptions and behaviors in laboratory work. Various attributes of experiential learning can enhance learning experiences, yet many have not been subject to exploration in agricultural education. This…

Shifting from an emphasis on teaching to learning is a complex task for both teachers and students.
