Dominant approaches to assessment have often limited students' ability to share their perspectives on course experiences. Further, assessment approaches are often disconnected from pedagogical practice and reinforce the status quo. In this article, we outline our critical-interpretive approach to a four-year cycle of assessments examining…

The research analyzes opportunities of current trends in the educational sphere at the global level formed under the influence of the achievements of the fourth industrial revolution and contemporary force majeure factors (the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions). The research methodology explains why lifelong learning technologies are…

This article presents a year-long, multisited study in which children were recruited from three coastal communities--Boston, San Diego, and Toronto--to establish the Coastal Climate Kids Collective. Guided by a critical literacies orientation with an eye toward child-centered approaches to teaching and learning, the research team collaboratively…

As colleges and universities increasingly emphasize the importance of High-Impact Learning Experiences (HILEs) in fostering deep learning, equity, and student success, a critical challenge persists: many students remain unaware of these transformative opportunities until later in their academic journey, if at all. To address this gap in early…

Despite global interest in active learning methodologies, limited empirical evidence exists on their implementation in developing countries, particularly regarding their relationship with teaching competencies. This study explores the association between teaching competencies and the application of active learning methodologies in a Peruvian…

This book examines how higher education institutions positively enhance the learning experiences of first-generation college students. What systems in our communities and world are intentionally or unintentionally producing the realities of first-generation identities, and how can these be upended through a deliberate pedagogical turn? With these…

The personalization of learning was already high on the agenda of policy makers, but new digital technologies seem to offer the opportunity to realize it. Two things stand out: first, putting the 'person' of the learner at the center is argued to be tantamount to freeing the student from all sorts of norms that make real learning impossible;…

Effective science education is crucial for developing a scientifically literate citizenry, and for many, foundational primary science education experiences play a significant role in defining their long-term science trajectories. However, primary science education has been limited by a dissonance between the poor science trajectories for…

Intentional emergence (IE) as a pedagogy centers students in learning and calls for the educator or facilitator to take a different role. It is important for educators to mindfully regulate their presence in the classroom to allow students to notice the role of authority in leadership practice. This article provides recommendations for productive…

The purpose of this research was to explain why many people do not like mathematics and find it difficult because it is difficult to understand or because a teacher they had did not give the appropriate weight. The methodology used in this research was the quantitative method. The sample was collected through electronic questionnaires involving…

This paper explores the development of a special interest group bound by common interests, experiences, and access to opportunities in mobile learning as a model of a networked academic development community. With core members spanning eleven educational institutes across three continents, the Mobile Learning Special Interest Group (MLSIG) was…

As "divisive concepts" educational policies continue to be implemented across the United States, it is important to consider how preservice teachers (PSTs) are being prepared for this teaching landscape. Within an upper-level undergraduate education foundations course at a public university in Iowa, this critical case study (Dyson &…

Objective: This study reviews the status of materials in curriculum and reform, as reflected in a network case study of curriculum in one kindergarten classroom in the United States. This paper focuses on the events leading up to and building upon one inquiry unit that became a focal point in promoting progressive curriculum reform at the school.…

Three qualitative tools were…

Developing program-level assessment systems creates an opportunity for faculty to think deeply about their student learning objectives while creating structures that provide meaningful and actionable feedback. Unfortunately, many programs lack the expertise and/or support at the programmatic or institutional level to create efficient and effective…
