Instructors make many decisions all the time directly impacting students. They commonly make choices around how their students will actively engage in their own learning. A widely used engagement practice is to invite students to voluntarily participate by having them ask or answer questions in small- and large-enrollment science classrooms.…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to explore the relationship between the beliefs about diversity and the teaching behaviors of community college faculty who have participated in the Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning Seminar (CRTLS). The study sought to answer the following questions: (1) How often do CRTLS faculty implement…

Digital fabrication laboratories (Fab Labs) are accessible to the public, including children and families. However, a variety of technical skills, tools, and expertise are needed in these spaces, and Fab Lab staff--instructors working there--are in a key role in helping Fab Lab users. There is, however, a lack of research on how these instructors…

Teacher enthusiasm is receiving remarkable scholarly attention in L2 education, and its effect on students' language learning outcomes has been extensively investigated. Nevertheless, exploring the antecedents of language teacher enthusiasm has received scant attention in foreign language education, particularly within the Chinese context. Thus,…

Service learning is a new pedagogical approach that has not been comprehensively appraised compared to customary teaching approaches. Service learning entails learning concepts in class, volunteering with non-profit or social service assemblages, and engaging in reflective undertakings to broaden the understanding of concepts taught in class.
