Schutz, Kristine M.; Woodard, Rebecca; Diaz, Amanda R.; Peek, William L. – SoJo Journal: Educational Foundations and Social Justice Education, 2019
In schools, children do not tend to be positioned as fully human. Strong neoliberal currents perpetuate objectification, a focus on technical mastery, and mechanisms for sorting and categorizing. As part of our ongoing design-based research to revise a sequence of elementary literacy methods courses, we have collaborated university faculty and…

Walkington, Candace; Chelule, Geoffrey; Woods, Dawn; Nathan, Mitchell J. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Gestures have been shown to play a key role in mathematical reasoning and to be an indicator that mathematical understanding is "embodied" -- inherently linked to action, perception, and the physical body. As learners collaborate and engage in mathematical discussions, they use discourse practices like explaining, refuting, and building…

Adler, Rachel F.; Kim, Hanna – Education and Information Technologies, 2018
It is now required for teachers to incorporate computational thinking (CT) into their science classes. Our research modifies the existing structure of a science methods course for preservice teachers to include CT via modeling and simulations. In the first study, preservice teachers were introduced to the basics of coding through an Hour of Code…

Furman, Cara – Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue, 2017
Classroom decisions are ethically significant. Increasingly, U.S. teachers and students are pressured to follow rules. Drawing on the works of Hannah Arendt, I argue that to make ethical decisions, teachers need to think. To make this claim, I first describe the current emphasis on rules. I then give an overview of Arendt's arguments regarding…

Boyce, Steven; Moss, Diana – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
This research report explores relationships between fractions' task representations (discrete, rectangular, or circular) and elementary prospective teachers' (PTs) fractions conceptions. Studies show PTs' conceptions of fractions are centered on a part-whole understanding, which may be problematic when teaching children about improper fractions.…

Kim, Jongsung; Watanabe, Takumi; Kawaguchi, Hiromi – Journal of Social Science Education, 2021
Purpose: This study introduces the idea of "Kyouzai Kenkyuu" and examines its potentiality as a conceptual tool to point to the curriculum design process with a case of social science education. By doing so, this study can contribute to expanding the target of reflection from the practices "inside" classrooms toward the…
