This article reports on a multiple-case study of how six educational alliances developed Integrated Logic Models, a new tool that integrates components of multiple programs into a single logic model template to link equity research, practice, and evaluation. These alliances used three related strategies: choosing theories and research that point…

This practice brief draws upon recent recommendations regarding English learners (ELs) and evidence-based instructional practices for teachers relevant for learning in science and engineering in grades kindergarten through 12 (K-12). The two documents that inform this brief are, "English Learners in STEM Subjects: Transforming Classrooms,…

The concept of work-integrated learning (WIL) is significant as it has a considerable influence on a student's fitness for the workplace upon graduation. This paper aims to determine the perception of graduates of the United States International University -- Africa (USIU-A) towards the quality of the internship program and especially the effects…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of instruction differentiation in preventive classroom management strategies on early childhood and elementary preservice teachers' selected behaviors during assigned classroom teaching of music instruction to peers. Participants were early childhood and elementary preservice teachers (N = 7)…

Reading and writing are central to the conception of science and the work of scientists. While recent scholarship on science literacy suggests the benefits of integrating reading and writing in science teaching, less is known about the extent to which science teachers implement such integration. This naturalistic study examines two sixth-grade…

A presumption behind work-integrated learning activities such as internship programmes is that student thinking will shift as a result of exposure to industry practice. We wondered if all students experience this change in the positive sense that teachers expect. To examine this presumption we asked to what extent and in what ways students…

This article discusses a study that investigated the confidence of generalist preservice classroom teachers in integrating the arts, their attitudes and preconceived notions of art education, and how these views changed during a course that specifically taught arts integration. A crucial component of this course was an embedded field experience in…

This study highlights a complementary partnership between physical education and foreign language learning, endorsing the potential of an applied learning context as an alternative pedagogical platform.

This article reflects on general…

Students entering into a quantitative analysis course often struggle with connecting theoretical aspects of concepts from lecture to hands-on applications in the laboratory setting. A one-semester quantitative analysis course was redesigned to integrate active learning with a project-based curriculum that incorporated structured review of…

The prompt for this study came about as a result of my previous paper presented in 2017 in relation to examining the role of creative art and link in education, originated from Prof. Claudio-Rafael Vásquez-Martínez work on arts and painting in education. For the present study, qualitative data was gathered using observation and focus group…

Literacy is a powerful tool to engage students in learning about the social, cultural, political, and natural worlds around them. This is especially true within the discipline of science where students use reading and writing to engage in scientific inquiry. In the era of accountability reform, however, students spend more time acquiring reading…

Increasingly, contemporary work means graduates will operate in multiple workplace settings during their careers, catalysing the need for successful transfer of capabilities across diverse contexts. The transfer of skills and knowledge, however, is a complex area of learning theory which is often assumed and lacks empirical analysis. Facilitating…

The recent discovery and ongoing detection of Einstein's predicted gravitational waves offers an exciting opportunity for engaging the general public in science. In order to reach a wide range of people with different science-art identities, levels of physics expertise, age, and gender, the "Celebrating Einstein" festival merges science,…
