This study explores variations in prospective teachers' (PTs') noticing of students' mathematical thinking based on narrative writing within the context of a practicum course. The research involved eight PTs, each of whom produced ten weekly narratives throughout the course duration. Most PTs displayed noticing abilities within the average range,…

Over the past decade, propensity score-based methods have made an important contribution to the improvement of generalizations from educational studies. However, an important limitation is that many studies are based on small sample sizes in which the study comprises 3-5% of the inference population. In response, one suggestion that has been made…

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and social validity of a training and coaching intervention for Chinese special education teachers implementing trial-based functional analysis (TBFA). Four lead teachers from a special education elementary school in China participated. A multiple-probe across participants design was used to…

This study investigated the impact of discussing mathematical events on in-service Mathematics teachers' professional noticing of geometric definitions. Fifty-two teachers engaged in discussions in which they analyzed students' thinking regarding rhombus definitions and the teachers' noticing skills were assessed through pre- and post-tests…

This study investigated whether lower secondary school Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teachers' professional development (PD) engagement varied by school context in regard to the proportions of English learners (ELs) and examined the relationship between STEM teachers' PD engagement in teaching for diversity and teacher…

This study investigates the role of education in the transmission of Northern Henan Zhuizi Chinese Opera through the case study of Cui Zhixia, a provincial-level inheritor and educator. Northern Henan Zhuizi, a lyrical and narrative art form deeply rooted in the Henan region's cultural identity, has faced challenges of declining transmission due…

This book explores groupwork in tertiary education, charting its evolution, purpose, psychological foundations, and practical application, and enriches global perspectives with insights from 47 Caribbean lecturers. It begins with definitions, historical roots of group learning, and then examines major pedagogical approaches such as cooperative and…

Context: Critical pedagogies, such as social justice teaching (SJT), present opportunities for PK-12 students to critique, question, and envision a more just and equitable democracy. Yet as SJT gains traction in the field, research has documented its surface-level implementation, undertheorization of potential complexity, and scant impact on…

This article responds to a pressing question, posed by Maori university students in Aotearoa, New Zealand: How do teachers transform universities into places where Indigenous students can thrive and heal? To address this question, we engage with pedagogies of healing, a radical critique of wellbeing within the classroom. We utilized the Maori…

A key goal of science education articulated in "A Framework for K-12 Science Education" is to create opportunities for students to answer questions about the world that connect to their interests, experiences, and identities. Interest can be seen as a malleable relationship between a person and object (such a phenomenon students might…

Quantitative studies of educational inequity, or inequality, often perpetuate troubling, deficit-based ideologies that have a disproportionate impact on discourse around racism in public education.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different learning methods on learning tennis stroke skills, retention of learned skills and mobility time compared to traditional learning methods. Twenty-four (12 boys, 12 girls) high school students who have just started tennis education in a high school in Istanbul participated in this…

Integrating computational thinking (CT) and science education is complex, and assessing the resulting learning gains even more so. Arguments that assessment should match the learning (Biggs, "Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education," 21(1), 5-16. 1996; Airasian and Miranda, "Theory into Practice," 41(4), 249-254. 2002;…

In social and behavioral sciences, data are typically not normally distributed, which can invalidate hypothesis testing and lead to unreliable results when being analyzed by methods developed for normal data. The existing methods of generating multivariate non-normal data typically create data according to specific univariate marginal measures…
