The world is facing crises at the personal, community and national levels, disconnection from traditional value systems and loss of a guiding moral compass. While religion is certainly not the only basis for personal and societal values, religion can provide a moral system that is sorely needed. In Islam, great wisdom can be found in the holy…

This article considers how the practice of "ungrading" in the homiletics classroom can function not merely as a pedagogical technique, but as a theo-ethical practice. Grounding ungrading in theological ethics in addition to critical pedagogical theory can lead us toward a pedagogical practice that builds anti-racist and decolonial spaces…

This article analyzes a popular arithmetic textbook, "Arithmetic: For the Use of Schools and Colleges," authored by Jadav Chandra Chakravarti, to examine the contents and pedagogies in the text for how mathematics was taught and learned from the end of the nineteenth century through the first half of the twentieth century in colonial…

No previous research has looked at the inclusion of teaching assistants (TAs) in competency-based education (CBE) at an online university to evaluate student satisfaction and success. A 12-month TA pilot program in an online undergraduate program sought to measure the positive impact on students' learning by surveying their satisfaction and…

A growing body of evidence promotes guided play as an optimal approach for supporting children's early mathematical ability (Skene et al., 2022), a skill that is essential for future learning (Duncan et al., 2007). While these experimental studies promote guided play for early mathematics (Fisher et al., 2013), classroom-based research identifies…

This comprehensive bibliometric analysis examines the dynamic impact and influence of artificial intelligence (AI) within the domain of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) from 2013 to 2023. By analysing 3,300 documents from the Web of Science database, the study reveals a positive trend in AI integration, with notable growth attributed to various…

Under the background of educational informatization, data-driven teaching decision-making has become a key means to improve the quality of education, but there are some shortcomings in the use of data in college English teaching decision-making. This study constructs an evaluation system of college English teaching decision-making ability,…

In South Australia, pre-service teachers require a sound knowledge of grammar to deploy the Learning English: Achievement and Proficiency (LEAP) Levels, an assessment, monitoring and reporting tool designed to inform programming and planning for English as an Additional Language and Dialect (EAL/D) students. However, research shows that many…

Hands-on and practical learning has been key to cybersecurity education and training success. Cyber Defense Exercises (CDX) are a common approach to training, testing, and verifying technical and soft skills. However, full-scale CDX implementation is also an expensive training event. In order to advance such exercises to the next level, CDX…

We report on a series of task-based interviews in which nine mathematicians were asked to evaluate a series of six mathematical arguments, purportedly produced either by fellow mathematicians or undergraduate students. In this paper, we attend to the role of context in mathematicians' responses, leading to four themes in expectations when…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of using structured reflection via the critical incident analysis method to develop multicultural awareness and intercultural empathy in undergraduate-level pre-service teachers. This research is important, given the striking demographic mismatch between students and teachers in US…

This paper describes a framework for educating future evaluators and users of evaluation through community-engaged, experiential learning courses and offers practical guidance about how such a class can be structured. This approach is illustrated via a reflective case narrative describing how an introductory, undergraduate class at a mid-size,…

Physiology is a critical subject that bridges basic and clinical medicine. The reform of physiology education is crucial to improving the quality of teaching and supporting student learning; however, there is a lack of comprehensive data documenting the current state of physiology education in medical programs in China. This study conducted an…

This study investigated student perceived shared-metacognition--self-regulation and co-regulation--as explained by three teaching presence sub-elements--"Instructional Design, Direct Instruction, and Facilitation"--in an online case-based course. 113 online graduate students enrolled in an advanced instructional design course…

Teachers of agriculture have used project-based learning as a primary teaching method in agricultural mechanics since the 19th century. These methods teach the information and motivate students to engage the content. Locus of Control (LOC) categorizes the relationship with decision-making and motivation. Internal LOC have a higher level of…
