A common educational assumption is that coherence is a pre-requisite for a "good" curriculum. Indeed, in mathematics education this perspective has persisted both nationally and internationally as a foundational principle for curriculum design, reform, and evaluation. While curricular coherence is often unquestioningly accepted as…

Background: The flipped classroom space lacks a clear design framework that describes the day-to-day structure and implementation of a flipped classroom experience in a way that can be reproduced and be meaningfully compared across contexts. The ILEARN framework aims to address part of this problem by more clearly defining how course content is…

This paper examines ways adult education practitioners can develop innovative, inclusive, equitable instructional practices by integrating Instructional Design (ID) models and principles into their curricula and content development processes. A review of the relevant literature highlights the importance of creating a student-centered learning…

A growing body of literature examines the use of rehearsals with preservice mathematics teachers, but research on rehearsals with experienced mathematics teachers is in its infancy. There is some evidence, however, that rehearsal debrief discussions can be valuable learning experiences for practicing teachers. Experienced teachers bring a rich set…

This article analyzes teachers' perceptions and experiences using an educative curriculum designed to promote high levels of mathematical discourse. After participating in 2 days of professional learning, grade 3 teachers implemented a predifferentiated and enriched mathematics unit in their classroom. The curriculum was designed to be educative,…

This paper looks at students' motivation and engagement in the context of the "Read Like a Demon (RLAD)" project across a two-year period, in Melbourne, Victoria. This "RLAD" project was shaped over several years and targeted to students aged between 8 and 11 years. It utilized innovative reading experiences, including the…

A fascinating and rich landscape of personal views and approaches can be seen in architectural design and in architectural design education. This variation may be confusing for students. This paper focuses on the question: is the framework of generic elements that we developed for explicating the design process helpful to compare the differences…

In this paper, using a feminist autoethnographical approach, I explore personal experiences as an Afro-Latinx woman studying, teaching, and researching in the instructional design and technology (IDT) field. This feminist autoethnography serves to self-reflect on how, as a woman of color, I have navigated the IDT field as a graduate student and…

Multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) allows researchers to model latent factor structures at multiple levels simultaneously by decomposing within- and between-group variation. Yet the extent to which the sampling ratio (i.e., proportion of cases sampled from each group) influences the results of MSEM models remains unknown. This article…

Digital and innovation competencies are nowadays highly required for students and faculty members in higher education institutions. We therefore need environments that incubate innovative learning scenarios to develop these competencies. We conducted a design-based research with the dual objective to develop learning labs in four universities and…

Family and consumer sciences (FCS) educators were surveyed in the state of Oklahoma to gather information regarding their satisfaction with the classroom interior environment to reveal whether classroom satisfaction is related to the educators' productivity levels. Past research suggests that teachers who are satisfied with their working…

The demand for creating collaborative learning environments in technology education highlights the needs to enhance student collaborations in their learning process. Aiming to increase individual contributions of students to develop a more collaborative learning environment, this study investigated the relationships among sense of community,…

Within the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, cognitive presence has been central to success in higher education settings. This systematic review examined 24 articles published between 2008- 2020 that empirically analyzed cognitive presence in online courses. We share the patterns that emerged regarding the interplay between teaching and…

What is dissent? And how should educators teach students the skills and dispositions of this democratic virtue? By engaging with the 2011 article by Sarah M. Stitzlein on 'Democratic education in an era of town hall protests', this retrospective article discusses Stitzlein's definition of dissent, her curricular approach to teaching dissent, and…

The present study sheds light on transdisciplinary education through the application of a scoping literature review, as a lack of a comprehensive synthesis in this area is evident. Thus, the overview frames and outlines the scattered research that has been fulfilled until now in this field. As a result, within transdisciplinary education, medical…
