Yeh, Chun-Chun – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2017
The teacher-student writing conference has long been recognized as being able to provide personalized instruction and contribute to learners' writing development.

Dreyfus, Benjamin W.; Gupta, Ayush; Redish, Edward F. – International Journal of Science Education, 2015
Energy is an abstract science concept, so the ways that we think and talk about energy rely heavily on ontological metaphors: metaphors for what kind of thing energy is. Two commonly used ontological metaphors for energy are "energy as a substance" and "energy as a vertical location." Our previous work has demonstrated that…

Nikolaeva, Sardana – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The South African coloured identity is a profoundly complex construction that, on the one hand, is interpreted as an ambiguous and "in-between" identity and, on the other hand, its own ambiguity and complexity provides multiple means and strategies of production and articulation within various contexts. This dissertation seeks to examine…

Szymanski, Erika Amethyst – Across the Disciplines, 2014
In this study, I present an analysis of instructor comments on assignments written for upper-division courses in the biological sciences as a window into current practices around teaching science writing to major students.

Forman, Ross – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 2014
The global textbook has an enormous influence upon what is taught in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms.

What happens, then, when a global EFL textbook is selected for use with Year 1 students at a Thai university? How…

We use the theory of communities of practice and the concept of accountable disciplinary knowledge to describe how a learning community develops in the context of an upper-division physics laboratory course. The change in accountable disciplinary knowledge motivates students' enculturation into a community of practice. The enculturation process is…
