Carr, David – Educational Theory, 2023
In the context of the recent revival of virtue ethics, the notion of character formation under the rational guidance of Aristotle's notion of "phronesis," or practical wisdom, has been exalted as the principal aim of moral education. However, this is not unproblematic insofar as the promotion of Aristotelian "phronesis" seems…

LaMacchia, Carolyn – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2023
This article describes pedagogical practices that support deeper learning within an academic program. An assignment is presented that simulates the post-graduate challenge of incorporating soft skills with discipline knowledge. The assignment tasks students with investigating a new problem or opportunity using information from a variety of…

Vorob'ev, Evgenii M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This paper discusses the mathematical and didactical problems of teaching indefinite integral in the context of the ubiquitous availability of online integral calculators. The symbol of indefinite integral introduced by Leibniz, unfortunately, does not contain an indication of the interval on which the antiderivatives should be calculated. This…

McBride, Krista K. – Physics Teacher, 2023
It can be difficult to find ways to motivate students while teaching a physics course for non-physics students. Students come to class with many different attitudes and preconceptions, some of which are detrimental to their learning. As physics educators, we strive for student engagement and motivation in course material no matter what type of…

Morris, Steven L. – Physics Teacher, 2023
The relativistic addition of velocities is usually introduced early in the study of Einstein's special theory of relativity. The equations are simple enough, but randomly chosen velocities lead to unwieldy calculations that can dishearten the student. This paper presents tables of velocity components in two dimensions, composed of five or fewer…

Williams, Hollis – Physics Teacher, 2023
A key concept in current fluid dynamics and its applications to biology and technology is a phenomenon known as wetting. Wetting is familiar from everyday life and is simply the ability of a liquid to stay in contact with a solid surface. The wettability depends on the properties of the liquid and the solid and can be characterized by the static…

Sokolowski, Andrzej – Physics Teacher, 2023
Transfer of structural math knowledge to physics is difficult for students. While research suggests various improvement techniques, enhancing parallelism of algebraic structures used in physics to those studied in mathematics courses seems underrepresented. This paper proposes an alternative way of introducing wave functions as a set of parametric…

Kortemeyer, Gerd – Physics Teacher, 2023
Simulations can provide opportunities for engaged exploration in physics teaching and learning. Beyond the two-dimensional world of screen-based simulations, abstract concepts like vectors (for example, of electric fields) can frequently be visualized better in a three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) environment. These visualizations can be…

D'Angelo, Francesca – Multilingual Matters, 2023
This book contributes to emerging research on third language acquisition (TLA) and pinpoints the main factors characterising TLA as a different process and area of study from second language acquisition. Moving beyond the dichotomous conception of monolingualism and bilingualism, it proposes a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to studying…

Yan Yan; Caleb P. Hood – Texas Association for Literacy Education Yearbook, 2023
The authors' institution exceeded the Texas Science of Teaching Reading (STR) exam's passing rate of 86.6% for the 2021-2022 academic year. The authors think this success was largely due to conducting an analysis of test questions and helping preservice teachers better prepare for the exam. The authors helped preservice teachers supplement the…

Nicole M. Wessman-Enzinger – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
What comes to mind when one thinks about building? One may envision constructions with blocks or engineering activities. Yet, constructing and building a number system requires the same sort of imagination, creativity, and perseverance as building a block city or engaging in engineering design. We know that children invent their own notation for…

The topic of this symposium, capacitating community, invites CLJ readers to consider what makes community possible. This piece showcases one means, small conferences, via a retrospective on the Writing Innovation Symposium (WIS), a regional event with national scope that has hosted writers and writing educators annually in Milwaukee, WI, since…

Arta Aliu; Shpetim Rexhepi; Egzona Iseni – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
Various features have been found hidden in the Pascal triangle. In this paper, some very well-known properties of the Pascal triangle will be presented, as well as the properties related to different extensions of the triangle, namely the Pascal pyramid. Given that in the textbooks of the tenth grade, respectively in the school, where we realised…

Richárd Fodor; Judit Tóth – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2023
In the third decade of the 21st century, the limitation of information has been replaced by the difficulty of selecting freely available information. Useful and irrelevant knowledge is available in enormous quantities on the online storage of increasingly growing server capacities. The world of education and history didactics are no exception…

Lekelia D. Jenkins – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Existing processes for academic peer review can yield unnecessarily harsh critiques that focus on any vulnerability rather than constructive feedback to improve the work. Efforts to improve the peer-review process recommend training at the graduate level. This article describes the Modified Critical Response Process (MCRP) as a means to achieve…
