Teachers' professional noticing has been described as transitioning from descriptions of general pedagogy to analysis of students' mathematical procedures and conceptual reasoning. Such a shift is described as a transition towards more student-centered noticing. In the present study, we used screen recordings of pre-service teachers' (PSTs) 360…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the most important and feasible factors required for reform and successful inclusion of substance use prevention curriculum into aging-infused certificate and degree programs at 4-year universities. Methodology: This study employed a Delphi technique through three iterative rounds to gather data…

This guide is designed to help school team design learning that equitably honors the unique assets and needs of students. Learning must be designed with students at the center. It must be personalized to students' unique assets, interests, identities, and aspirations--and designed with their ideas and voices at the table. Education Evolving has…

This is a study of teachers transition after a professional development (PD). The purpose was to document and characterize the teachers' experiences as they transitioned toward use of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and more learner-centered teacher practices. The teachers participated in a PD workshop that provided information on the…

Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) incorporate research opportunities into the existing curriculum often by providing alternatives or replacing the traditional cookbook-based laboratory courses. Over the past 50 years, CURE courses have been shown to benefit both students and faculty members alike. Despite the large number of…

The reaction rate and rate law are chemical kinetics concepts that undergraduate students have difficulty understanding and applying in real life. A further challenge is the overall reaction rate of consecutive reactions. Herein we present a creative teaching practice using the analogy-based approach to exploit the similarities between the…

The existence of the flipped classroom has gained attention among scholars and teachers, particularly in higher education. This instructional model appeals much concern due to its capability not only to shift the instructional process from teacher-centered to student-centered but also to transform university classrooms into an active learning…

Developments in international inclusive education policy, including in prominent UN documents, often refer to the aim of a "quality" education "for all."

Information and knowledge of science are very necessary and vital inputs for growth and survival in modern times. Science is a body of knowledge that can be rationally interpreted and applied consistently in human endeavors. Science as a form of information is a way to examine a process and a way of thinking in the quest for an understanding of…

The purpose of this article was to examine the potential contribution of a particular student-oriented and socio-constructivist teaching model, T-DLM, with respect to: (1) constructivism and nonlinear pedagogy; and (2) the development of metacognitive awareness and self-regulation of learning in students engaged in a team-sport teaching/learning…

Teaching in higher education has undergone numerous paradigm shifts from teacher-centred authoritative to learner-centred critical and culturally responsive/relevant pedagogies. Further, single method-boundedness has been substituted by the integration of pedagogies via eclecticism in the post-method contexts. Further, virtual learning and…

The Design Studio is an academic makerspace, housed in the Mechanical Engineering Department at University of Delaware, that was co-developed through a multi-year, grassroots effort by the department and its undergraduate study body. It originated in 2012 in a small, under-utilized study room and evolved in stages into its present form as a 5,500…

Like many others around the world, the authors have moved their busy lives and research-practice partnership to the planet of distal learning and remote working. While the news about the spreading of the pandemic and the dire economic consequences entered their homes, they did not want to lose what had brought them together in partnership this…

This article presents a reflection on a seven-year general education reform process. The authors divide and explain the process of reform in four stages: Review and Recommendation for Reform; Building Conceptual Foundations; Moving from Theory to Practice; and Implementation. The authors discuss the value of establishing goals and markers of…

Empathy, defined as both emotional and cognitive perspective-taking, is considered to be an important teacher disposition; however, limited research exists on the implementation of empathy alongside the experiential teaching practicum within alternative route to licensure (ARL) programs. The purpose of this study is to examine ARL teacher…
