This article describes the development of the Teaching and Learning Inquiry Framework (TLIF) and applications for its use. For decades teacher preparation and support has been dictated by a narrow mindset in which academic disciplines have been taught in isolation. This landscape, however, is evolving to align with the view that the world is…

In their role as support to faculty in the course development process, Instructional Designers (IDs) can play an important part in alleviating some of the well-known barriers of open education practices (OEP): faculty time, institutional or faculty resistance to change, and institutional support for faculty (Annand & Jensen, 2017; Barker et…

Over the last decade, researchers have identified complex epistemic practices in online gaming communities. Such research invites the question: Can games engender these attitudes and behaviors, or do they merely provide an outlet for players already predisposed to these forms of knowledge production? This question poses both theoretical and design…

This paper describes the first stages on the development of a design method of digital trainings using the collaborative authoring tool "ALO". Based on the theory of instrumental conflict (Marquet, 2005), this method highlights the necessity of the design digital trainings under the optimal harmonization for users/learners in didactic,…

Embodied cognition is growing in theoretical importance and as driving a set of design principles for curriculum activities and technology innovations for mathematics education. The central aim of the EMIC (Embodied Mathematical Imagination and Cognition) Working Group is to connect with inspired colleagues in this growing community of discourse…

Curriculum resources are integral to teaching, yet more could be known about preservice teachers' curricular use when planning mathematics lessons. Framed with a consideration toward teachers' pedagogical design capacity, this study explores the decisions preservice teachers make when presented with four curricular resources and tasked with…

More than likely, your school is doing the right things. So why won't student achievement budge? Maybe the key is doing the right things "right." You may be lacking a straightforward yet powerful tool that can work wonders in aligning expectations and talents: an instructional model. In this eye-opening new book, visionary education…

Higher education is being rapidly transformed by the growth in online learning, with an increasing number of universities worldwide offering degree programs in online, distance modes of study. Australian education has a long history of 'distance education', primarily offered by regional universities. With the digital communication advances of the…

Our nation has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to providing every child with an equal opportunity to an education. Two Federal laws that address the education for children with disabilities are the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), signed into law in 1965 and 1975,…

This design case describes three iterative development phases of online integration training design from 2015 to 2021. Online integration training is a public educational service for adult immigrants who are registered as unemployed in Finland. The learners are from diverse backgrounds, typically residing in sparsely populated areas or unable to…

In the 2024-25 school year, researchers from the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) studied 18 California schools--15 public charters, one public district, and two private schools--that are piloting artificial intelligence (AI) tools to address issues like learning gaps, behavioral challenges, and teacher inexperience. These schools…

Climate change and sustainability pose abstract, interdisciplinary challenges that demand innovative pedagogy. This study aimed to examine how generative text-to-video (TTV) tools influence pre-service teachers' lesson-planning competencies and what educational values and affordances pre-service teachers attribute to the technology. A convergent…

The study of ergonomics has the potential to improve human performance not only in occupational sectors, but also in educational settings, where they can influence learning performance. It has long been acknowledged that instructional design can have direct effects on learning outcomes, provided it considers the underlying cognitive architecture…

Contribution: This article aims to explore learner variables that predict the effectiveness of university class using the Havruta method. Background: This article was conducted on 105 learners enrolled in the "General Physics and Experiments 2" class at K University in South Korea. Research Questions: Independent and dependent variables…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Curriculum Development: Theory into Design.] Our investigation of 353 faculty-produced multiple-choice Think-Pair-Share questions leads to key insights into faculty members' ideas about the discipline representations and intellectual tasks that could engage learners on key topics in physics and…
