As a high school history teacher, author Dave Marshall integrated music more and more into his lessons over the years, yielding powerful results. Early in his career, this was done by playing a relevant song to start class--perhaps Edwin Starr's "War," before studying anti-Vietnam protests. Later, the author built full lessons around…

The Essential Practices for College and Career Ready Instruction framework identifies research-based instructional strategies for use in early college high school programs, as well as other educational settings where educators seek to build a rigorous and engaging culture of learning grounded in student ownership of the learning process. The early…

Few studies have explored the effects of non-digital gamification on K-12 students' speaking skills, leaving a gap in understanding the effective gamified features for enhancing foreign language speaking. This action research study aimed to improve students' speaking skills through various non-digital gamification activities. The sample consisted…

This study aimed to develop the Experiential Learning Management Model (ELMM) based on the Reggio Emilia approach and evaluate its impact on creativity and social interpersonal performance in preschool children. A total of 69 children from a kindergarten in northeastern Thailand were divided into an experimental group (n=34) and a control group…

As artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more integrated into the field of healthcare, medical students need to learn foundational AI literacy. Yet, traditional, descriptive teaching methods of AI topics are often ineffective in engaging the learners. This article introduces a new application of cinema to teaching AI concepts in medical…

This article examines the integration of task-based learning (TBL) and blended learning in teaching traditional Chinese musical instruments, focusing on how these approaches address limitations in conventional instructional methods. While previous studies have highlighted the theoretical and practical implications of task-based and blended…

In this study, we examine the real-time decision-making processes of a teacher in a UK post-16 mathematics classroom focusing on the integration of student-centred teaching methods. The contribution of this study is a transdisciplinary theoretical discussion which links teachers' actual classroom practices (often traditional and teacher centred)…

With the increasing attention provided to sociomaterial and new materialist perspectives in second language (L2) education, this article pursues the question of what these approaches have co-produced in the existing research. This "mixed" review combines elements of qualitative metasynthesis and diffractive literature review, drawing on…

Purpose: The aim of the present article is to perform a systematic review of the scientific literature on Health Education (HE) in the initial training of teachers. A systematic review of the literature promotes knowledge of the state of the art of research. This will allow researchers and educators to work on Health Education on a scientific…

This study leverages concept-based language instruction (C-BLI) as an innovative pedagogical approach to teaching academic citation practices and broader concepts of intertextuality in academic research writing. Participants were 34 undergraduate students, predominantly multilingual English writers, enrolled in an advanced writing course at a…

Many preservice teachers often find classroom management theories and concepts too abstract to effectively address the specific challenges they encounter in real classrooms. To bridge this gap, educators commonly employ case-based instructional techniques to immerse preservice teachers in the contextual complexities of classroom management. This…

Active learning methodologies, such as flipped classroom (FC), generate a higher level of student engagement, greater dynamism in learning and more significant interactions with course content. Some other active methodologies used in the academic environment are problem-based learning (PBL) and case study (CS). There are few studies that analyse…

Case presentations have been researched as both an important form of intra/inter-professional communication, where a patient's clinical information is shared among health professionals involved in their care, and an equally key discursive tool in education, where learners independently assess a patient and present the case to their preceptor…

Problem-based instruction (PBI) is a research-based, student-centered instructional strategy that uses rich mathematical tasks to connect students' previously acquired math knowledge to new mathematical concepts. Unlike traditional teaching and learning strategies, PBI facilitates learning by making connections between mathematical concepts and…

Ben-Peretz's (1975) concept of intended curriculum describes a version of curriculum that 'official' curriculum developers create to provide a detailed guide to what teachers are required to teach in schools. While some curricula are intended to guide learning, others give a more definitive regulation of what must be taught. Either way, they are a…
