Weis and Fine examine critical research designs with young people from elite, working class, and impoverished class fractions, as well as across racial and ethnic groups, including those experiencing structural dispossession and those enjoying privilege. Curated to be useful to today's students and future generations of scholars, the volume…

Research has widely documented the lack of educational resources and opportunities available to rural communities. Cognizant of the structural and spatial barriers facing rural communities, this study intentionally employed a critical race nepantlera methodology (CRNM) to mitigate the adverse effects of living in geographically isolated,…

This report analyses Greece's Jobs Again reform, which introduces a new results-driven model for adult vocational training. By linking public funding to key outcomes -- such as employment rates, satisfaction levels and certification outcomes -- the reform aims to improve the relevance and effectiveness of training. Key features of the reform…

Background: A single-case design focuses on individual performance and measures the causal relationships between variables (Kazdin, 2019). This experimental design enables researchers to measure the learning behaviors of individual participants over time across phases and assess the effectiveness of an instructional strategy in improving or…

This paper diffracts a curriculum design workshop via online collaboration of a collective emerging from that event. Through the workshop, involving theory, conceptual art, writing, photography and curriculum planning, and the subsequent sharing of words and images, we move beyond interrogating designs for future subjects to asking how the…

Despite the adoption of modern educational approaches such as activity-based, laboratory-based, technology enhanced science education, it is known that in most cases, students have difficulties in achieving desired learning goals such as developing inquiry skills and engineering knowledge. The efforts of science educators to ensure that students…

The recent increase in the number of mathematics museums has given rise to a need for tools with which to design and assess mathematics educational proposals in this non-formal context. This study proposes the use of the van Hiele model, a benchmark in mathematics instruction, for the design of interactive museum models focusing on mathematics…

Recognizing the pressing problem of low teacher retention in urban schools, this qualitative study explores how two post-baccalaureate teacher education programs at the same university prepare candidates to persist in the profession. Through data analysis, it became clear that graduates of the Urban Teacher Residency program approached their…

Purpose: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is increasingly important in work and workplace learning. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of IPC that are relevant for learning and developing at work. Design/methodology/approach: We examine IPC in the discussion data of health care professionals when designing,…

In this study, the instructional design process in three-dimensional multi-user virtual environments (3D MUVEs) based on a problem-based learning approach was examined and authentic design experiences were shared. Besides, a design model was proposed to guide people who want to design these 3D MUVEs and to use these environments for educational…

Purpose: Serious games and gamification are evidence-based forms of game-based learning that facilitate student/client instruction. Serious games are activities that directly incorporate educational content into games; gamification integrates characteristics of games into nongame activities. They both promote learning by increasing students'…

Faculty create thoughtful lectures and assignments designed to elicit learning, but it is only after assessment that we see whether students learned. This study demonstrates the value of a three-pronged approach to using assessment results to improve learning. First, review the literature on teaching and learning within the discipline. Second,…

Indigenous people tend to pursue education in their mature age. Indigenous employees thus, may need additional training opportunities in the workplace. As their preferred way of learning are different from other employees, training programmes for Indigenous employees should be designed and delivered with their preferred ways of learning in mind.…

Tertiary-level English medium instruction (EMI) presents an opportunity for both EMI and science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) pedagogies: tertiary STEM needs student-centred strategies familiar to EFL, whereas tertiary EFL can harness the innate complexity of STEM towards complex language production. With the aim of achieving coequal…

The purpose of this article is to introduce the new "Acoustic Standard for Physical Education Teaching Environments ANSI/ASA S12.60-2019/Part 4" and share the research evidence that formed the basis for developing this physical education-specific standard, provide an overview of how the standard was developed, and offer practical…
