Transition pedagogy is a whole-of-institution approach for supporting learning across diverse student cohorts through intentional, integrated (co-)curricular design. However, in large institutions, it is not always possible to enact transition pedagogy across the whole organisation. This action research study examines a multi-year transition…

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as a transformative force, reshaping the way we teach and learn across various disciplines.

We examined the ways that faculty members developed as inclusive instructors as a result of participating in the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project (ISTP). The ISTP is a free, Massive Open Online Course designed to train STEM faculty members in inclusive teaching. Semi-structured interviews (n = 80) with course participants from multiple disciplines…

We sought to identify which aspects of our professional development program, the Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate STEM Education (CAUSE), were most useful for the participants. CAUSE was designed to support STEM faculty as they implement evidence-based teaching practices. We interviewed six faculty participants (Fellows) to address…

Theorizing and exploring teacher learning contexts is critical to understanding reform-based instructional changes. Research on professional learning, organizational contexts, and science reform has grown over the years, particularly since the unveiling of the Framework for K-12 Science Education in the United States. In this article, the authors…

In the context of national collaborative efforts to increase the prevalence of active learning strategies in undergraduate precalculus and calculus classrooms, we discuss the context, strategy, and processes used at one university to create change within a mathematics department.

Addressed toward course coordinators and departmental leaders interested in redesigning an undergraduate mathematics course, we highlight the steps our team at the University of Maryland, College Park has taken in bringing active learning to our Precalculus course. We provide examples of ways in which we have coordinated active learning across…

This qualitative study explores how structural factors and self-talk mediate early career math teachers' experiences implementing student-centered reforms in high-need urban schools. Results indicate that implementing instructional changes can sometimes interfere with the success of classroom interaction rituals, and can contribute to internal…

Curriculum change affords middle leaders opportunities for pedagogical and planning renewal. This paper reports case studies of two schools engaged in preparing for implementation of Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics.

Student interventionists have been utilized as change agents in a variety of contexts to improve the academic, social, and communicative behaviors of target students. A strong literature base supports the use of peers in academic interventions such as peer tutoring, as well as in behavioral interventions such as peer-mediated Check-In/Check-Out,…

In 2001, the Chinese Ministry of Education issued "Guidelines for Preschool Education (GPE) (trial version)" to call on early childhood practitioners to use a child-centred and play-based approach to teaching and learning. In order to implement the requirements, many kindergartens in China have carried out the play-based kindergarten…

Get past the knowing-doing gap and confidently implement standards-based learning.
