Responsive teaching is an approach to instruction that foregrounds listening for, attending to and engaging with student disciplinary thinking and ideas in the classroom. This style of teaching differs from how many traditional STEM classes are taught, especially at the college level. Entry-level college science courses that are taught by graduate…

Despite a lack of empirical evidence, learning styles theory (LST) enjoys widespread support in education, leading many researchers to refer to it as a "myth." Although previous research has demonstrated LST's popularity, the impact of exposure to LST on teachers is not yet known. Here original survey data of K-12 teachers (n = 240) was…

The present study is an attempt to examine the applicability of NLP techniques in English Language Teaching (ELT), an under-investigated topic in the literature on EFL contexts. The researcher also attempts to examine the extent to which Iranian EFL instructors in language schools implement NLP techniques in their classrooms. In an effort to…

The push for personalized learning without clear guidance, training, or resources has forced educators to make their own interpretations of what it means to individualize. The purpose of this action research study was to investigate and improve the implementation of personalized learning environments in K-8 classrooms. Participants and data…

The purpose of this report is to discuss the sustainability and scalability of Math for All (MFA) by returning to talk with past MFA program participants. Drawing on qualitative research methods, this report derives its findings from interviews with 12 teachers, 6 facilitators, and 5 administrators within two years of their participation in MFA.…

There is a large amount of research that indicates that the use of 3DMP in STEM education improves students' knowledge, motivation, and participation in the learning process. Nevertheless, despite the existing attempts to market 3DMP in education, its adoption in schools remains low. A number of studies with teachers in secondary schools and…

Exergaming technologies have emerged in physical education in recent years as an attempt at revitalizing physical activity levels among youth. Research on the effects of exergaming is increasing; however, there is no research on practicing physical education teachers' implementation in the United States. Studies indicate that physical educators…

Reflection plays an important role in the professional development of teachers. This study is analyzing the role of reflective practices in teaching practicum teachers. Reflection helps in learning from experience and taking corrective actions to change behavior positively. Objectives of this study include; the effect of reflective practices on…

The adoption of national literacy standards has resulted in writing becoming a priority for students with complex learning needs (CLN). Given extrinsic (school-based) and intrinsic (student-based) barriers, there is a need to understand how educational systems can provide innovative research- and standards-based writing instruction for these…

This research applies sociocultural learning theory to describe the learning cultures that academics at a small Australian university cultivated during synchronous emergency remote teaching (ERT) at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to understand how academics fostered learning when thrust into a new technological environment that…

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the professional development program designed for distance education instructors, in which design-based learning and mentoring strategies are implemented consecutively.

This study has been shaped to cover two objectives. The first of these is to describe in detail the use of dialogic teaching in the field of Turkish reading comprehension, and the second is to determine the effect of dialogic teaching practices on reading comprehension success. The mixed-method design known as convergent design was used in this…

In this article, we focus on pairing instructional approaches with a strong evidence base in math with evidence-based practices for students with extensive support needs. To do so we draw on two sources. We use the 2021 Practice Guide from the Institution for Education Sciences (Fuchs et al., 2021). In addition, we use identified evidence-based…

One policy ambition of education reform in the last thirty years has been to push public education beyond didactic pedagogies, basic facts, and rote skills toward ambitious instructional experiences and outcomes not only for students of privilege, but also for students of poverty and color. As U.S. education policy and reform have pressed for the…

Vygotsky (1993) first identified the theory of 'Defectology' to understand and describe children with special and additional needs, but essentially categorized them as 'defective' (Bartlett et al., 2004; Thomazet, 2009). It is with Vygotsky's theory in mind that inclusive education frameworks in Kosovo and Russia are critically examined: whilst…
