This study examines the perspective of a mathematics teacher educator (MTE) regarding the design and structuring of mathematics teaching method course in the elementary teaching education program. The research was designed as a single case study. The case was a teacher educator who has been delivering mathematics methods course for elementary…

In 2021, the authors pivoted their university's Literacy Clinic to online to continue providing literacy services to educators, K-12 students, and families during the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and continuing systemic racism. Alongside of the educators in the Literacy Clinic, they wondered how they would engage students in literacy lessons that…

Reform efforts in Taiwan have added a mandatory 'Scientific Inquiry and Practice' curriculum for all high school students, emphasising 'inquiry-based learning content' including observing and questioning, planning and carrying out an investigation, argumentation and modelling, and expression and sharing. The purpose of this study was to develop an…

Effective planning lays the foundations for effective teaching in mathematics (Smith & Stein, 2018). The planning decisions made by teachers are many and varied and ultimately inform what, how and why students learn mathematics (Kilpatrick et al., 2001). Critically, these decisions affect students' opportunities to engage with mathematics in…

Integration of STEAM disciplines in preschool education is considered to be difficult for children to work as engineers and perform robotics applications. Therefore, preschool STEAM activities are needed. The study aims to convey how to implement the preschool STEAM activity named "We design our school for our visually impaired friend"…

This study examines students' perceptions of an Educational Leadership Doctoral Program's redesign, based on a multi-criteria framework that informed the program's core values and beliefs to prepare students to: (a) lead learning organizations; (b) engage ethically with the community; (c) advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion; and (d)…

Many graduate training programs in global change recognize the importance of policy and appreciate the complex, multi-stakeholder nature of policymaking in practice. However, few engage directly with diverse stakeholders, an important goal in transformational education, through traditional curricula. We present the results following analysis of a…

Designing experiential learning activities requires an instructor to think about learning outcomes. Using importance-performance analysis (IPA) can assist with the instructional design of the activities for implementing service-learning in distance education courses. This study used IPA in a fully online asynchronous graduate class to gauge…

The ministry of education of Indonesia has issued several provisos concerning the virtues integral to school curricula, framed as character education. Teachers and, assumedly, student teachers, shoulder fundamental roles in embracing these values into school intra- and extra- curricular designs. These designs encompass primarily lesson plans and…

The last class session of the academic term represents an excellent opportunity to solicit meaningful feedback from students who have just completed the course. To capitalize on the students' first-hand knowledge of their own experiences with our course and maximize the impact of the last class for our Canadian graduate-level genetics course, we…

With the growth of chatbots, concerns about implementing artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in educational settings have consistently arisen, especially for the purpose of language learning. This study introduced a task-based voice chatbot called "Ellie", newly developed by the researchers, and examined the appropriateness of its task…

Learning engagement varies in different modes of instructions. With such consideration, the authors of this article conducted comparative analyses on student learning outcomes measured by their final mean grade point averages (GPAs) during three timeperiods (before, at the onset of, and during pandemic) when inperson, online, and hybrid…

This study examines considerations that are required for successful implementation of flipped learning by tracing how lecturers in a university postgraduate dietetic programme designed and executed flipped learning across an academic year. Inductive analysis of lecturers' lesson design rationalisation, student learning artefacts and feedback was…

This study investigated the technologies and tools used to support upper-level elementary students' engineering design and problem-solving activities in a bridge design and building challenge. The study was conducted in an eight-week afterschool program with a total of 36 4th to 6th grade students in small groups of four to six students. Analysis…

A novel set of civic activists arose in Los Angeles in the 1990s, gaining independence from neoliberal advocates and labor leaders to advance a variety of school reforms over the next three decades. In turn, student learning climbed steadily during the period. This paper first describes the rise of these "new pluralists" -- a diverse…
