Waring, Scott M.; Torrez, Cheryl; Lipscomb, George – Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2015
As advocates of engaging students in historical inquiry and of the use of primary sources to aid in this inquiry, we support the claims of numerous student benefits, such as learning to detect bias, appreciating the interpretive nature of historical thinking, and the drawing of conclusions based on judgments about evidence (Fehn & Koeppen,…

Murawska, Jaclyn M.; Zollman, Alan – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
Although discussions about inductive reasoning can be traced back thousands of years (Fitelson 2011), the implementation of the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) within the Common Core State Standards (CCSSI 2010) is generating renewed attention to how students learn mathematics. The third SMP, "Construct viable arguments and critique…

Wasserman, Nicholas H.; Walkington, Candace – Teacher Education and Practice, 2014
Facilitating the transition of STEM teachers into the teaching profession represents an important challenge in teacher education. We argue that it is those aspects of excellent teaching that beginning teachers believe to be important that may be the central foci for teacher preparation. In the context of the nationally replicated UTeach program,…

Campos, Daniel G. – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2010
I articulate Charles S. Peirce's philosophy of mathematical education as related to his conception of mathematics, the nature of its method of inquiry, and especially, the reasoning abilities required for mathematical inquiry. The main thesis is that Peirce's philosophy of mathematical education primarily aims at fostering the development of the…
