What should U.S. schools teach about U.S. actions abroad when students in the classroom have varied or conflicting memories, ideas, and experiences? Should schools teach the dominant narrative of U.S. benevolence and innocence in world affairs so as to instill patriotism in children? What kind of patriotism are we concerned with here? Or should…

Although active learning improves student outcomes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs, it may provoke anxiety in some students. We examined whether two psychological variables, social anxiety (psychological distress relating to the fear of negative evaluation by others) and academic self-efficacy (confidence in…

There has, to date, been little discussion of how autism may affect the experience of the reading of fiction for pupils in the classroom, other than through a deficit model.

In particular, social class-based fairness of classroom assessment practices has been…

As computer-based visualization techniques are becoming more important across the landscape of astronomy education, this pre-test/post-test study using the Size, Scale, and Structure Concept Inventory (S3CI) looked at the impact of using a hybrid combination of hands-on and computer-based activities on the learning of five semesters of non-science…

In this single-case study, we examined the impact of a simple response card intervention on student engagement during math lessons. An ABA reversal across-subjects design was used to establish a causal relationship between the treatment and the expected outcome. Five adolescents with learning disabilities from a seventh-grade classroom were…

This activity explores attitudinal beliefs and behavioral responses of obedience to an illegitimate authority figure in an ambiguous situation.

Teacher cognition in classroom lessons is identified by an ongoing method using virtual reality (VR) videos. There are place and time constraints in real time implementation of the ongoing method in synchronous situations. To avoid these, recorded virtual reality videos were used. As a result, the existence of non-corresponding cognition was…
