Discusses the work of Blake and how it situates the author in thinking about literary criticism and theory and how it affects his teaching. (SRT)

A prototype cognitive neuroscience/learning style preservice teacher education program was designed and experimentally implemented at The Ohio State University. The program is described and results of two followup studies are summarized. (MT)

Physical education teachers with good discipline exhibit remarkable similarity in authority style. They communicate a positive role model, are generally good planners, and tend to be good communicators.

One student's case is used to portray what prospective teachers attend to in the process of filming/editing and describing/analyzing their teaching practice. Shifting from…

Despite mathematicians valuing the ability to visualize a problem and psychologists finding positive correlations of visual-spatial ability with success in mathematics, many educationists remain unconvinced about the benefits of visualization for mathematical understanding. This paper describes research that compared a "visual" to a "verbal"…
