The concept of deep learning has become a popular and well recognised term in contemporary educational literature and international political documents. Deep learning typically induces positive connotations and represents the learning strategy that educational institutions should adopt in order to assure a sustainable future in modern societies.…

The development of understanding of nature of science (NOS) can be seen as one of the educational goals of natural history museums. In these museums, guides take on the role of educators responsible for shaping the content and style of guided tours. They play a crucial role in making scientific knowledge and narratives accessible to visitors,…

An important question is to know why the didactics of mathematics (DM) goes from being only teaching techniques to consolidate as a science and also to locate what kind of science it is. The objective of this article is, through a modern classification of sciences, such as the theory of categorial closure, to locate the DM. Likewise, a very brief…

What is the relation of philosophy and teaching? Do we start from philosophy and then work to close the gap through a process of application? Do we start from teaching, and work to create a space for philosophical reflection? Is it enough to include philosophical texts and activities in teacher education? Or perhaps we need to include teachers…

This study aimed to design and analyze activities that enable students to investigate the probabilities of compound events and the equiprobability bias by a perception-based design that foregrounds sample sets. Drawing on historical insights and prior research, we designed activities to guide students in exploring the probabilities of compound…

The purpose of this research is to examine whether, and how, an asynchronous online learning community pedagogical approach can address students' challenge of integrating disciplinary ideas into an interdisciplinary understanding. A quasi-experimental research design was conducted in which 51 undergraduate students were allocated into two groups…

This article provides teachers with a toolkit for assessing students in the context of data-based individualization (DBI) in mathematics. Assessing students is a critical component of DBI because it provides teachers with information about what they may need to modify in their instructional programs. In this article, we provide teachers with…

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore the importance of individual learner differences and the effect differentiated instruction (DI) has on learners' levels of engagement. Design/methodology/approach: The author carried out this research using a small-scale action research (AR) study. Findings: The findings suggest that in acknowledging…

In the last decade, video games became a common vehicle for citizen science initiatives in life science, allowing participants to contribute to real scientific data analysis while learning about it. Since 2010, our scientific discovery game (SDG) Phylo enlists participants in comparative genomic data analysis. It is frequently used as a learning…

Explicit instruction is a high-leverage practice for special education and is associated with improved learning for students with disabilities (Hughes et al., 2019). The high-leverage practices are 22 critical practices in special education that are effective for improving outcomes for a broad range of students with and at risk for disabilities…

Background: Science, technology, reading and writing, engineering, art, and mathematics (STREAM) education is an emerging form of STEM/STEAM education. STEM education research focuses on how students acquire knowledge and skills. The potential of reading and writing to effectively support students in STEM education has been the focus of research.…

Developing disciplinary literacy is an emerging priority for secondary teachers as they prepare students for college, career, and civic life. One way to develop and assess disciplinary literacy in history is through source-based argument writing (SBAW) with multiple sources. SBAW requires students to synthesize information across texts and use…

Despite the burgeoning research interest in collaborative L2 writing, it is underrepresented in the literature regarding how teachers use such activities within real-world classroom settings. This case study seeks to offer a comprehensive understanding of the practices adopted by two EFL teachers in implementing collaborative writing within…

This document provides an overview of historic policy reforms that have improved student success and close racial equity gaps in completion at California Community Colleges.

Diverse student populations with varying learning skills and linguistic barriers exist throughout elementary and higher education settings. Poorer learning outcomes are observed when students are not engaged or motivated to learn. This study aimed to determine techniques used in the classroom such as discussion and debate, research and inquiry or…
