This study explored elementary teachers' (N = 26) development as novice Elementary Mathematics Specialists (EMSs). They worked in 21 urban-situated schools in the United States that served historically marginalised students. Professional learning experiences aimed to prepare them as effective and equitable mathematics teachers and teacher leaders…

Using student-centered pedagogies can greatly improve student outcomes compared to lecture-based instruction. One of these outcomes--students' sense of belonging--is associated with increased retention and motivation and is necessary for improving equity and inclusion. Although many methods may support belonging in the classroom, it is unclear…

More than twenty years have passed since the National Reading Panel (NRP) (2000) report attempted to answer the question: What works best in reading instruction?

Background/purpose: This study argues the prospects of simulations and policy briefs as signature international relations (IR) pedagogies by examining their potential benefits in region-focused case study subjects such as the Southeast Asian Regional Dynamics course. In doing so, it looks back to the need for creativity and student-centered…

The recommendation of courses in an online educational system is done using different factors that include course length, duration, and learning material information. The course design is based on the instructor's teaching style, which may not necessarily correspond with the various learning preferences of students. Matching the learning style of…

This study explored if generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT can generate full lessons plans that are actually useful for real classrooms and meet the quality standards teachers and students deserve. The authors share how their teacher educator participants rated each type of lesson, what they preferred, and what the results…

While discussions surrounding education for sustainable development (ESD) are diverse, most scholars and policy makers view student-centered learning (SCL) as axiomatic. In contrast, we argue that promoting SCL potentially stymies educational contributions to sustainability by extending a culturally specific belief in ontological individualism. We…

The author explores tensions between teacher-centered styles of teaching and play-based approaches that invite students to be creators of their own learning. Through narrative inquiry, the author uses a metaphor of wildflowers growing in natural environments to explore a child-led process of learning through play that fosters creativity and deep…

Student affairs professionals have often relied on the professional development of staff rather than innovative design approaches to fulfill the challenge of creating programs, services, and activities that serve today's global and multicultural students. In this article, Jordan Harper and Adrianna Kezar introduce Liberatory Design Thinking (LDT)…

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…

Learning Development is a field of practice concerned with supporting students to develop their study skills, including academic and assessment literacies. It is strongly rooted in values that are student-centred, collaborative and emancipatory rather than remedial or deficit. However, in the wider dominant culture of UK HE institutions, Learning…

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of student-centered teaching applications on students' motivation toward science learning with a meta-analysis study.
