Given the ubiquity of curriculum materials and complexity of their usage, it is imperative that teacher education programs prepare prospective teachers (PSTs) to use curriculum materials. In this paper, we focus on what PSTs notice when they are interacting with curriculum materials, and how their initial impressions of curriculum materials…

Reaching a reading goal of 150,000 words in a semester is no easy feat for many language learners. To reach this goal, an extensive reading (ER) program needs to invest in and select a format that can best enable this achievement. This preliminary study compares the use of two different extensive reading (ER) formats that employ two learning…

This paper aims to make known the materials on action learning that are held in the universities of Salford and Manchester, with the aim of bringing these unique resources to the attention of researchers and other interested parties. It is a joint effort between the Editorial Board members of the Journal, Action Learning: Research & Practice…

Students in private, nonprofit (independent) higher education institutions, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged, often struggle with the costs of course materials like textbooks. However, much less is known about these students and how to assist them with these cost barriers compared to their peers at public institutions. It is…

Previous research showed that short-term second language training modulates children's brain responses to language processing. However, little is known about whether short-term training from language-immersion apps would have the same effect on young children's neural processing of a newly learnt language. We examined the auditory event-related…

Course content in higher education is increasingly provided via video lectures. Video quality varies widely, from textbook publishers that provide professional quality videos to individual instructors recording videos on their laptops. In this study, we randomly assigned students to one of two videos, one high quality and one lower quality, to…

Purpose: The study aims to evaluate the readability, comprehensibility, and vocabulary knowledge of SRH educational materials available online and on paper to inform health educational material development for young adolescents. Design/methodology/approach: The study used a sequential mixed-method design. Thirty-four online and one print…

Git, as the leading version-control system, is frequently employed by software developers, digital product managers, and knowledge workers. Information systems (IS) students aspiring to fill software engineering, management, or research positions would therefore benefit from familiarity with Git. However, teaching Git effectively can be…

Flow is described as a state in which people become so involved or engrossed in an activity that nothing else seems to matter (Csikszentmihalyi, 2009). This state of consciousness seems to occur when a person is involved in a task and seemingly unable to stop. Flow states are marked by (a) a perceived balance of skills and challenge, (b)…

This article explores the work of "Rethinking Schools" (RS). RS is at one and the same time a grassroots movement of teacher-activists, a quarterly journal, and a publishing house. For almost four decades the movement has sought to enact Freirean-inspired curricular/pedagogical initiatives within US public schooling. What makes the work…

The selection and application of learning strategies for college students is a hot topic in the field of education. However, there is no consensus on a universal learning strategy for most learners.
