Studies on teaching methodologies have been one of the most analyzed research topics in Physical Education (PE). Many instruments have been created to examine the teaching methodologies in PE. This systematic review aimed to identify the tools used in peer-reviewed journals (until March 2022) that assessed teaching methodologies in PE. Articles…

This study explores university students' perceptions of how the classroom learning environment and Economics teachers' instructional practices promote learning in higher education (HE). The purpose of the study was to develop and empirically test a framework that characterises quality Economics instruction. Based on a literature review, a…

A recent report by the Southern Poverty Law Center revealed that many history teachers avoid or minimize conversations about race for fear they will trigger "racialized conflict." This silence should raise alarms, as we know that race and racism permeate the lived experiences of teachers and students and inevitably surface in historical…

Discussions of power and privilege, oppression, and structural inequities in classrooms can produce complex understanding and critical analysis when facilitated effectively. In this article we present the critical conversations model for facilitating conversations that open up space for discussing such issues and encourage the development of…

For students to learn optimally, teachers must design classrooms that are responsive to the full range of student development. The teacher must be adaptive, but so must each student and the learning culture itself. In other words, adaptive teaching means constructing a responsive learning culture that accommodates and even capitalizes on diversity…

We describe and use an analytical framework to document mathematics discourse in instruction (MDI), and interpret differences in mathematics teaching. MDI is characterised by four interacting components in the teaching of a mathematics lesson: exemplification (occurring through a sequence of examples and related tasks), explanatory talk (talk that…

In this paper we consider how mathematics instruction that values, attends to, and builds on students' mathematical ideas is realized through discourse. We describe interactions that build on students' thinking and in which students help to determine the direction of mathematics lessons as responsive. Using a framework we developed to characterize…

This article discusses alternatives to the lecture-style teaching that remains a fundamental practice for many middle school classrooms. Information was accumulated by pre-service middle school language arts teachers, who interviewed their mentor for their student teaching experience, focusing on how each teacher attempts to foster lifelong…

This study investigated the modalities of science teaching practice and students' pedagogic subject positioning through the linguistic features of science classroom discourse and the discursive interaction. For this purpose, this study sought to develop a methodology for classroom discourse analysis, the TMARC (Triangular Model of Analyzing…

Filled with down-to-earth ideas, suggestions, strategies, and techniques, "The Co-Teaching Book of Lists" provides educators with a hands-on resource for making the co-teaching experience a success. Written by educator and popular teacher trainer Kathy Perez, this book gives educators a classroom-tested and user-friendly reference for the…

After identifying strategies which are used to avoid some of the unique problems of the first class meeting, the author outlines a model which covers the three general phases of the class: beginnings, work, and endings. In the first phase the physical arrangement of the classroom and the pre-class comments of the students are considered, followed…

DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF OBSERVERS, TEACHERS, AND RESEARCHERS IN DESCRIBING CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR, THIS MODEL WAS SET UP IN 3 DIMENSIONS--CONTENT-SKILLS, CONCEPT LEVEL (DATA, CONCEPT, GENERALIZATION), AND STYLE (FOCUSING ON DESCRIPTION, EXPANSION, EXPLANATION, EVALUATION-EXPLANATION, AND EVALUATION). SUBDIVIDING CLASSROOM DISCUSSIONS IS ACCOMPLISHED…

This study found an effective device for supplying preservice teachers with desirable affective behavior role models through the use of personal autobiographical recall techniques. (LH)

Discusses aspects of using anecdotes in the classroom including vividness, the downside, high inferential risks, and low inferential risks. Reviews research underpinnings. (MVL)

Describes a case study of an experienced provocateur-teacher in which the teacher's theory for science learning and teaching during teacher-student interactions was inferred from classroom observations, teacher-student discourse, and stimulated recall interviews. The teacher's instructional moves were interrelated with the components of his…
