Highly creative advertisements are the end-products of creativity in advertising, and their creation is generally thought to be driven by strategic planning. Thus, 534 Clio-awarded advertisements from the years 2011-2014 were content-analyzed to determine whether implications of two popular planning frameworks, functional matching and the Foote,…

This paper presents an international research study of long-term professional development courses on modelling. It addresses the question of scaling-up professional development. So far, there has been much research on small-scale professional development courses, but we know very little about what it means to scale up such a course and to reach…

In the paper we deploy two related theoretical and methodological approaches to see how they complement each other in the analysis of oral communication in mathematics group work. The first approach is an authority framework that builds on positioning theory and the second is politeness theory, with a focus on the sociological notion of face.…

These four chapters describe studies of using models for integer addition and subtraction. The models draw principally on the two grounding metaphors of object collection and motion along a path. A strength of all chapters is detailed analysis of how the models are and can be implemented and how they influence student's learning. Together the…

Educational coaches--whether math, literacy, instructional, or curriculum coaches--vary in the content of the work they do and in the grade range of the teachers with whom they work. But "good coaching is good coaching," as coaching expert Cathy A. Toll affirms in this, her newest book. All coaches seek to help solve problems and…

The Schwarz or Bayesian information criterion (BIC) is one of the most widely used tools for model comparison in social science research. The BIC, however, is not suitable for evaluating models with order constraints on the parameters of interest. This article explores two extensions of the BIC for evaluating order-constrained models, one where a…

The adaptation of the teachers to the digital age, the integration of their digital skills into the learning and teaching processes, their digital awareness, competencies and fluency constitute an important problem which is within the scope of lifelong learning. The aim of the present study is to examine the digital profiles of pre-service…

The vice principal has the potential to significantly influence everyone in the school building. The expertise required to effectively carry out the duties of the role include interpersonal skills, leadership skills, reflective practice, and knowledge of the current research in the field of education. The position of vice principal requires a…

This research was conducted to analyze the teaching factory model in vocational high school ("sekolah menengah kejuruan"/SMK) in Central Java Province, Indonesia according to the teaching factory's success factors. This research used meta-ethnography for qualitative methods and Delphi technique, Research and Development, and social…

Each level on van Hiele's model has its characteristics, such as terminology, concept, and reasoning strategies. This study attempts to reveal epistemological obstacles on all van Hiele's levels of geometric thinking in the topic of geometric transformation. Thus, a student could overcome the epistemological obstacles in transformation geometry…

Making sure all key stakeholders are included in community-engaged partnership projects is a difficult but important task. A systematic methodology for identifying partners would help avoid this problem. The double rainbow model is a systematic approach designed to identify all potential partners that can contribute to or might be affected by the…

Group work is a common active learning strategy in higher education when the goal is to enhance deep learning and develop teamwork skills. Culturally diverse learning groups are particularly valuable in preparing university students to participate in a globalized world. Student engagement in group work is critical in realizing these benefits.…

We used the design-based research approach to test and refine a theoretically grounded goal-access-feedback-challenge-collaboration gamification model. The testbed was a 10-week, university-level e-learning design course offered in two consecutive semesters. In Study 1, we implemented the initial goal-access-feedback-challenge-collaboration model…

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of the issue, discussion, establishment, and application (IDEA) learning model in embedding mathematical concepts understanding. It is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental approach. This research was conducted at Malang Islamic University with students majoring Mathematics education…

Problem-solving is considered as an important skill for learning Mathematics. Integration of cloud technology into Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) has been considered as an instructional approach to study students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the suitability of the MEAs using cloud…
