Albert Bandura's theory of self-efficacy is a commonly known social-emotional learning theory that states that learners can only achieve that which they believe they can achieve. Strong self-efficacy, associated with confidence and a willingness to take risks in learning, has been positively correlated with strong student achievement. While some…

The process of planning to teach mathematics is complex and idiosyncratic and is gaining increased attention in educational research. In this paper, I propose a framework for conceptualising the critical factors that influence teachers' mathematics planning decisions. The framework is informed by the analysis of teacher survey data (n=114) and two…

This dissertation was motivated by a deep commitment to creating robust mathematics learning communities for teachers and for students that are grounded in care, dignity, and connection. Designing for learning from this relational perspective requires disrupting dehumanizing aspects of systems of schooling that function to construct difference and…

This Campbell systematic review assesses the overall impact on student achievement of processes and methods that are more student-centered versus less student-centered.

Earlier at the ICRES 2022 we discussed readiness of teachers of the Chemistry Faculty of the Karaganda Buketov University for the student-centered learning approach lately implemented at the Kazakhstani universities. In particular, we studied the progress made by academic staff in mastering interactive lecturing, case-study, problem-based learning…

This brief shares learnings from Building Equitable Learning Environments (BELE) district partnerships around the sixth Essential Action: Measure What Matters. This Essential Action focuses on achieving equitable learning environments through the routine collection and review of relevant student feedback data to co-design new practices and…

This paper focuses on teaching techniques for language learning as related to student satisfaction on multilingual compulsory education in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC), where Basque and Spanish are official languages and English is taught as a foreign language. Using a multilingual approach, the paper discusses similarities and…

Online learning was initially introduced to support face-to-face learning, but now represents a dominant pedagogical approach in Higher Education. The rapid shift from face-to-face learning to online platforms has left many academics feeling pedagogically unprepared. In this research, we initially sought to understand and enhance online student…
