Today's state literacy standards and assessments demand deeper levels of knowledge from students. But many teachers ask, "What does depth of knowledge look like on these new, more rigorous assessments? How do we prepare students for this kind of thinking?" In this article, Nancy Boyles uses a sampling of questions from the PARCC and SBAC…

Due to ongoing cultural-historical transformations, the space-time of learning is radically changing, and theoretical conceptualizations are needed to investigate how such evolving space-time frames can function as a ground for learning. In this article, we argue that the concept of chronotope--from Greek chronos and topos, meaning time and…

The study investigated the effects of Solve-Reflect-Pose Strategy (SRP) on pre-service mathematics teachers' algebraic knowledge for teaching in Nigeria.

Students' ability to comprehend what they read is greatly influenced by what they already know and have experienced. For this reason, teachers work to activate students' background knowledge prior to reading. Regrettably, the pedagogical techniques available to teachers for activating students' knowledge are quite limited. Further, those available…

Team-based learning (TBL) stresses applying knowledge rather than absorbing knowledge in class; studies have investigated the use of TBL and its merits in different teaching courses (e.g., medical science and business). TBL is most effective when students learn autonomously before class. However, the ability of autonomous learning is highly…
