The complexity of supporting teachers for Global Citizenship Education (GCE) in formal education contexts is widely recognised. Informed by classroom practice, this article documents a case study of three teachers to interrogate GCE pedagogy, and to contribute new insights to inform support for teachers. Previous research identifies factors that…

A deep understanding of pelvic floor anatomy requires a three-dimensional visualization of the spatial relationships among pelvic neurovasculature, soft tissue structures, and bony landmarks, which are highly complex and difficult to comprehend solely through traditional teaching methods such as didactic lectures and anatomical dissection. This…

In this practical guide, educators learn 25 ready-to-use, research-based teaching strategies aligned to the science of reading to scaffold learning from grade-level texts for a range of readers to accelerate literacy achievement. These strategies can be used in whole- or small-group instruction before, during, and after reading to increase each…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to identify the impact of teaching science based on John Zahorek's model on the acquisition of scientific concepts among seventh-grade female students. Materials/methods. It was based on the quasi-experimental method. The study participants, comprising 58 seventh-grade students, were intentionally selected from…

Writing-intensive and proof-based mathematics courses have a variety of unique course outcomes and challenges. As such, active learning in these courses may differ from what we traditionally expect to see in an "active" first-year calculus course: an interactive in-class activity can be replaced with an out-of-class reading and homework…

Background: Teachers' professional development is a pivotal aspect of educational psychology. However, the lack of comprehensive examination into the interconnectedness of school climate, teachers' self-efficacy, and instructional practice impedes the design of targeted and impactful professional development initiatives for teachers. Therefore,…

The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy--many members of the public find themselves asking "what does it mean?", and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.…

This paper is focused on the collaborative work of two communities, one of teachers and one of researchers, during a teacher professional development program on the inquiry-based learning approach in mathematics, addressed to lower secondary school in-service mathematics teachers. We conceptualize the design of inquiry mathematics task as the…

In this article, I argue that a process approach which enables students to draft, discuss and revise then share and celebrate each other's compositions can support their writing development more effectively than the current near-exclusive use by English teachers in UK schools and colleges of the form of text modelling that requires students to…

Introduction: Anatomy is a core course taken by medical and dental surgery students in their preclinical year, serving as the foundation for patient care in clinical practice. Many preclinical students find anatomy challenging and abstract, highlighting the need for educators to adopt innovative teaching methods, such as utilizing 3D technologies…

Problem-solving (PS) is taught and practised in many higher education institutions across various disciplines. However, there is a lack of understanding of how to teach PS in a way that aligns with the specific principles and methods associated with its pedagogy. This study aimed to understand how tutors of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a…

Preservice teachers (PSTs) enter teacher education programs with years of experience as students in the classroom (Lortie, Schoolteacher: A sociological study, University of Chicago, Chicago, 1975). Teacher educators aim to understand PSTs' unique experiences and support their learning of pedagogy within and across various contexts, including…

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a powerful statistical technique for reducing the complexity of data and making patterns and relationships within the data more easily understandable. By using PCA, students can learn to identify the most important features of a data set, visualize relationships between variables, and make informed decisions…

Vocabulary knowledge plays a critical role in supporting text comprehension and broader learning across the school day. While school offers opportunities to build vocabulary knowledge, studies have shown that very little time is devoted to vocabulary instruction at the elementary level. This may be, in part, because educators commonly report being…

One strategy for developing science literacy and scientific literacy in young children is through published trade books. To better understand how science literacy and scientific literacy may be represented in elementary classrooms, we investigated children's books that explore science concepts. Specifically, we examined high-quality science trade…
