This article aims to understand the concept of socio-spatial segregation as content in Geography teaching, using a methodological proposal based on cinematographic language. In this way, thinking about Geography teaching in contemporary times means understanding the relationship between students and their daily lives. To this end, socio-spatial…

This article examines creative and critical writing integration in secondary English classrooms, challenging the binary between 'critical' and 'creative' writing. Drawing on notions developed within the aesthetic movement of literary criticism, the authors propose a pedagogical shift that positions creative writing as a legitimate form of literary…

This chapter demonstrates the possibilities when a Disrupting the Disciplines framework is used alongside the Decoding the Disciplines framework to directly address teaching bottlenecks related to racism, colonialism, and implicit bias. It describes the benefits of Disrupting interviews for exploring bottlenecks in classroom instructional…

In U.S. colleges, admissions officers tend to use ACT-SAT concordant scores, also known as linked scores, as predictions of individual scores for tests not taken. The major problem in this situation is the use of linked scores without thoroughly examining their predictive utility (i.e., the degree to which they serve as predicted scores at the…

Assessments in higher education healthcare programmes can be challenging because they not only need to be fair, valid, and transparent, but it is also necessary to gauge safety, practical skill competence, and professionalism. One way to help maximise validity in practical assessments is to utilise 'standard setting' which aims to set a fair 'cut…

Digital literacy skills are essential for success in today's social, academic, and professional environments. This paper introduces a digital literacy framework, outlining key subskills and skill indicators for high school students, grounded in prior research and K-12 educational standards. We examine the implementation of digital literacy…

Advanced practices for summative exam development and post-exam analysis are proven to be effective but aren't always practical, and, even when these are applied to some degree, exams remain inherently imperfect measures of student ability. Instructors may thus deem it necessary to adjust overall exam scores to account for aspects of an exam that…

In this article, I argue that process-oriented feedback is one of the most critical factors for effective teaching and learning in philosophy. Given that extensive research on pedagogical practices demonstrates that feedback is the single most powerful predictor of learning across subjects and tasks, we can justifiably infer that this also holds…

This study presents the development and validation process of an architectural portfolio evaluation rubric (APER) aimed at assessing the quality and effectiveness of architectural portfolios. The research adopts a systematic approach, employing a series of consecutive methods to construct and validate the rubric. Firstly, a thorough examination of…

Education permeates the entire society and without doubt what teachers do matters. Therefore, it is no surprise that researchers, practitioners, and policy makers share an interest in understanding outstanding performance and are eager to learn more about possibilities to support expertise development in the domain of teaching. Since the very…

Background: People with intellectual disabilities are at increased risk of presenting behaviours that challenge. Behaviour support plans (BSPs) guide the use of bespoke strategies to maximise life quality and reduce the risk of behaviours that challenge. The behaviour support plan content appraisal tool (BSP-CAT) was developed to assess and…

In recent decades, informal project-based learning (PjBL) for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has gained immense significance. Though some meta-analytical studies have reported the effectiveness of PjBL models, none of them has been explicit for informal PjBL models executed for school students in STEM education.…

Background: Teachers' perspectives provide crucial insights into classroom practice in early childhood education settings. Although many kindergarten programmes emphasise play "and" assessment to support children's learning and development, recent research suggests that there are some disparities between teachers' articulated role of…

K-12 educators' digital literacy skills have been designated as a national and state priority by education and accreditation agencies in Texas, resulting in the need for curriculum alignments to the 2017 ISTE Standards for Educators and implementation of a digital literacy evaluation. The purpose of this validation study was to develop a…

Textbooks have a fundamental role in English Language Teaching (ELT) classes; they can provide valid, valuable, and self-regulated sources for both learners and teachers. ELT textbook evaluation is essential for language learning and teaching. Accordingly, evaluating and assessing textbooks has a crucial role in confirming if they satisfy the…
