The primary objective of science postgraduate education is to foster students' capacity for creative thinking and problem-solving, particularly in the context of scientific research quality. In order to achieve this goal, the "7E" teaching mood has been implemented in the cell biology course for postgraduate students to promote…

Inquiry-Based learning (IBL) is a fairly well-known term in the United States (US) describing a range of student-centered or active pedagogical approaches in mathematics. However, the 'big tent' definitions of IBL mean that there is much variation in IBL users' instructional practices, variation which we set out to codify. Cluster analysis of…

Student-centered classrooms, where the focus is on the way students learn concepts and skills rather than the way a teacher delivers the lessons, is a popular theme in current classrooms at all levels. A clear distinction must be made between student-centered teaching as a philosophy and student-centered teaching as a specific set of instructional…

While existing evidence has indicated that teachers employing Project-Based Learning (PBL) contribute to improved student learning outcomes, there is a notable lack of data investigating how these educators articulate their roles in the teaching process (Kaplan & Garner, 2017; Leng et al., 2018). The aim of this qualitative descriptive study…

This study aims to examine the impact of integrating the role of philosophy of mathematics education in mathematics teacher education on student learning outcomes and attitudes towards mathematics. Purposive sampling technique was used to recruit 10 in-service mathematics teachers from a Technical School in Kumasi. A qualitative case study…

The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework has gained widespread recognition as a theoretical model for understanding student learning in online environments. Despite its prevalence, CoI has been critiqued for its limited emphasis on learners' proactive roles in self-regulating their own learning. To address this, researchers have suggested…

This article provides an example of the implementation of school-wide professional learning as part of an Australian Research Council grant and the Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) called Exploring Mathematical Sequences of Connected, Cumulative and Challenging Tasks (EMC[superscript 3] ) (Sullivan et al., 2021). By using sequences of…

This study explored the pedagogical strategies employed by grade 12, life-sciences teachers in township schools to teach complex concepts, such as genetics and meiosis, using improvised teaching resources. Resource constraints in South African township schools often limit learners' access to traditional teaching materials and technologies. In…

Educators are constantly faced with the question of how to best present material that is optimally "learnable" for the different students they are trying to reach. The instructional approach selected is based on the intention of the learning. In general, two main approaches are used in today's instruction: explicit instruction or…

Instructional coaching is increasingly regarded as an essential feature of professional development, but no research exists on content-specific instructional coaching for history teachers. The study examines data from a coaching program in which history teacher leaders served as novice coaches for their colleagues. We found that coached teachers,…

Students' proof abilities were explored in the context of an inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach to teaching an introductory proofs course. IBL is a teaching method that puts the responsibility for proof on students and focuses on student discussion and exploration. Data collected from each of the 70 participants included a portfolio consisting…

The literature on history education in the United States suggests that history teaching was and still is dominated by traditional instruction methods that have persisted for well over 100 years. Some social studies teachers defy that tradition. They use ambitious approaches and resources to create student-centered learning experiences that enable…

A biochemistry class was transformed to implement student-centered, active-learning pedagogies to help improve competencies associated with the scientific method. In responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, the course content switched from the biochemistry of nucleic acids to the science of the newly discovered virus, SARS-CoV-2. This provided a…

In this systematic review, a series of didactic proposals and experiences that have been developed over recent years in formal education are presented with the common purpose of ensuring that students with special educational needs learn science. Initially, only 54 publications on the topic were identified, which underlines the scarce research…

In some European countries inquiry-based learning (IBL) has become popular in primary and secondary mathematics education, especially for scienceconnected content. On the other hand, problem-based learning (PBL) and project-based learning (PjBL) have a longer history in mathematics, science, technology, engineering (STEM) and in some other fields…
