Non-interactive teaching, in which students explain previously learned content to a non-present peer, is a generative learning activity that has gained increasing attention in recent years. While meta-analyses indicate small-to-moderate benefits, findings have been inconsistent, suggesting that its effectiveness depends on contextual factors.…

Background/purpose: This study aims to analyze the application and impact of dynamic assessment as an enhancement of deep learning in writing narratives for elementary school students. The main focus is DA can improve the quality of the learning process and outcomes through intervention, feedback, and reflective revision. Materials/methods: This…

This article explores the evolutionary nature of higher education and how it continues to stress the need for the professoriate to be active within scholarly teaching. This qualitative study examines how each author navigates SoTL research and analyzes the authors' reflective journaling for themes and sub-themes for alignment with Scholarship…

This chapter describes the development, implementation, and assessment of an intensive Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Scholars program grounded in self-determination theory. These findings provide one of the first integrations of theory into studying the impact of SoTL and can support educational developers with SoTL initiatives at…

Teaching approaches are needed that can normalize students' process of exploring emotions related to their learning and support the internalization of the professional social work values (i.e. human rights and social justice). Within the literature on social work education, the importance of affective processes to support the students' learning of…

Therapeutic translations of the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) axis are reconstructing the educational subject in a manner amenable to Foucauldian analysis. Yet, at the same time, under the sway of MGB research social scientists are taking a biosocial turn that threatens the integrity of Foucault's historicizing philosophical project. Meeting that…

This qualitative practice-based study explores the efficacy of reformed-based science teaching approaches in fostering meaningful student engagement within elementary science classrooms, framed within the science-as-practice paradigm. Utilizing three theoretical frameworks, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Ambitious Science…

This article highlights data collected using the leadership learning framework as learning content for an undergraduate class and a reflective tool for students to self-identify ways leadership learning occurred. In this research study, 32 undergraduate students self-identified what aspects of the leadership framework were the most salient for…

Research carried out through the last 20 years gave us undeniable evidence that to learn anything we need to be active participants, not passive observers. One of the important aspects of learning physics is constructing explanations of physical phenomena. To support and guide students toward constructing their explanations, teachers need to be…

In the 21st century, teaching strategies, curriculum, and ways of presenting subject matter changed dramatically from kindergarten to higher education. The unprecedented global pandemic brought the concept of hybrid learning to the fore, although it had been in existence for over a decade. Hybrid learning is an approach to teaching and learning…

This study aimed to understand pre-service teachers' motivations and learning psychologies in language teaching. The study used a phenomenology pattern, a qualitative research method, to gather pre-service teachers' views about language teaching, motivations and learning psychologies during translation activities. The study group consisted of 42…

"Active learning classrooms" are purpose-built learning spaces designed to facilitate active learning strategies. While sometimes constructed as new rooms, active learning classrooms may also be retrofit from existing learning spaces. The ongoing evaluation of active learning classrooms helps to generate new research insights,…

This essay serves as a personal narrative to share experiences and lessons learned in using a sabbatical to form international collaborations for SoTL research. I share my motivations for seeking an international collaboration, explore my predicted and realized benefits, and address challenges encountered including time constraints and…

This article challenges an over-reliance on language as the primary means to communicate knowledge by adopting a language"less"ness approach to maker pedagogies and maker literacies. Having conducted makerspace and design-based research for some time, we separately and together noticed a productive relationship between wordless…

Informal Australian discussion suggests that calculators are still widely regarded as devices for calculation, consistent with their naming, and are rarely recognised as potentially helpful to support students learning mathematics. In this paper, Barry Kissane explores some of the ways in which modern calculators might support students learning…
