Lahdenperä, Juulia; Rämö, Johanna; Postareff, Liisa – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The Students' Approaches to Learning (SAL) tradition comprehends an approach to learning as a combination of students' aims for learning and the processes used to achieve them. The tradition values a deep approach to learning; this is the case also in the context of university mathematics, where a deep approach is seen as a requirement for…

Pablo Antonio Archila; Silvia Restrepo; Anne-Marie Truscott de Mejía; Jorge Molina – Science & Education, 2024
Even though it is widely held that the theory of evolution is one of the pillars of the biological sciences, as we begin the third decade of the twenty-first century, it is alarming how little we know about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and non-STEM majors' misconceptions about evolution in countries such as…

Gehrtz, Jessica; Brantner, Molly; Andrews, Tessa C. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: STEM instructors who leverage student thinking can positively influence student outcomes and build their own teaching expertise. Leveraging student thinking involves using the substance of student thinking to inform instruction. The ways in which instructors leverage student thinking in undergraduate STEM contexts, and what enables…

Arif, Suchinta – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2021
Student-centered learning broadly encompasses teaching approaches that shift the focus of instruction from teacher to student by placing an emphasis on what as well as how students want to learn. This approach allows students to become active participants in their own learning and has been shown to increase learning, autonomy, and…

Laura A. Meadows; Max Bernard; Kaela Clabaugh-Howell; Jessica Duke; Lani Irvin; Lydia Mayo; Emily A. Holt – College Teaching, 2024
Learner-centered and inclusive and equitable teaching practices aim to promote better learning outcomes for all students. Course syllabi can provide a window into these practices. We adapted an existing rubric to measure inclusiveness and equity-mindedness of syllabi and used an established rubric to assess their learner-centeredness. We then…

Chungsoo Na; Soojeong Jeong; Jody Clarke-Midura; Youngin Shin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework has gained widespread recognition as a theoretical model for understanding student learning in online environments. Despite its prevalence, CoI has been critiqued for its limited emphasis on learners' proactive roles in self-regulating their own learning. To address this, researchers have suggested…

Scott, Simon – Issues in Interdisciplinary Studies, 2022
Interdisciplinarity involves the integration of insights from different disciplines, which is made possible by a number of variables that are unique to each example of integration. The challenge for an instructor introducing undergraduates to interdisciplinarity is to help them learn what is transferable and relevant beyond a singular example of…

Nicolette M. Maggiore; Kataleeya P. Powers; Krystal L. Lwanga; Ira Caspari-Gnann – International Journal of STEM Education, 2024
Background: Learning assistants (LAs) in undergraduate STEM lectures facilitate discussions between students in small groups. In this research study, we investigate the impact of LA facilitation on student learning as it occurs during LA-student interactions. To do so, our work builds on two sociocultural frameworks focused on LA facilitation and…
