Kalelioglu, Filiz; Sentance, Sue – Education and Information Technologies, 2020
Many physical devices supporting the learning of programming and digital making are now available which have the potential to make learning fun, accessible and creative for children and young adults. The advent of this new technology necessitates research to inform pedagogical approaches that work in the classroom. We carried out a study which…

Ray, Beverly B.; Rogers, Reenay R. H.; Hocutt, Martha M. – Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education, 2020
Research explored the change in perspectives of K-12 non-STEM discipline teachers regarding coding as an instructional tool. Whether, and to what extent, participants (n = 35) are willing to embrace coding as a teaching and learning strategy was examined. Findings suggest that participants' perspectives improved as a result of their participation…

MacMillan, Thalia; Forte, Michele; Grant, Cynthia – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2014
The dynamics of the student-student relationship within the asynchronous online classroom, as evidenced by conversations in an online discussion board, is a balancing act potentially more complex than those occurring in real-time. In order for learning to truly be considered effective, a collaborative, safe environment needs to exist among…

Farrell, Thomas S. C. – Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, 2016
Metaphors offer a lens through which language teachers express their understanding of their work. Metaphor analysis can be a powerful reflective tool for expressing meanings that underpin ways of thinking about teaching and learning English as a second/foreign language. Through reflecting on their personal teaching metaphors, teachers become more…

Huang, Dinglei; Kellert, Heather McCreery; Manouchehri, Azita – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2015
We compared classroom interactions during two episodes in a seventh grade virtual mathematics class. Both episodes were drawn from virtual live lessons utilizing different lesson layouts. We investigated how mathematical knowledge was negotiated in both episodes. The results show that the layout of live lessons had an effect on how students shared…

Linsenmeier, Katherine A.; Sherin, Miriam; Walkoe, Janet; Mulligan, Martha – Mathematics Teacher, 2014
The authors present three strategies for making sense of students' mathematical thinking. These lenses make the abstract idea of "making sense of student thinking" more manageable and concrete. We start by taking an initial look at a student's idea, going deeper, and finally looking across several ideas.

Stribling, Stacia M. – Journal of Language and Literacy Education, 2014
The purpose of this study was to better understand the process of engaging in critical literacy practices with kindergarteners. The researcher spent six months in a kindergarten classroom taking extensive field notes on the ways in which the teacher and students explored issues of social justice through literacy activities. Data analysis using a…

Franke, Megan L.; Turrou, Angela C.; Webb, Noreen M.; Ing, Marsha; Wong, Jacqueline; Shin, Nami; Fernandez, Cecilia – Elementary School Journal, 2015
Educators, researchers, and policy makers increasingly recognize that participation in classroom mathematics discussions, especially engaging with others' ideas, can promote students' mathematics understanding. How teachers can promote students' high-level engagement with others' ideas, and the challenges teachers face when trying to do so, have…

Flores-Koulish, Stephanie A.; Smith-D'Arezzo, Wendy Marie – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2016
In this article, the authors show how groups of 2nd- and 4th-grade students in an urban school district responded to a postmodern children's book, The "Three Pigs" by David Wiesner (2001). The students came to the project from basal-based direct instruction, and here they were offered a more constructivist opportunity to engage with a…

Starling, Tina; Trocki, Aaron; Sztajn, Paola – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
The authors present an analysis of facilitation across three cohorts of a phase-two professional development project. Four types of discourse are introduced and defined (correcting, eliciting, probing, and responsive). The analysis attends to implementation fidelity and facilitator moves in light of these four types of discourse. Conjectures about…

Vlachopoulos, Panos; Cowan, John – Distance Education, 2010
This article reports a grounded theory study of the moderation of asynchronous online discussions, to explore the processes by which tutors in higher education decide when and how to moderate. It aims to construct a theory of e-moderation based on some key factors which appear to influence e-moderation. It discusses previous research on the…

Lindahl, Mats Gunnar; Folkesson, Anne-Mari – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
The school systems of many countries have been pervaded by student-centred pedagogy making students' small group discussion a common feature of the classroom practice.However, there is a lack of studies focussing different modes of discussion for the purpose of finding out whether some modes are more beneficial than others. Hence, the aim of this…

Roy, George J.; Tobias, Jennifer M.; Safi, Farshid; Dixon, Juli K. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2014
As students contribute to social and sociomathematical norms, they will often reorganize their own understandings. As such, the purpose of this article is to describe the ways in which prospective elementary teachers contributed to the norms that were established and "re"-established throughout an entire semester in an undergraduate…
