Leatham, Keith R.; Peterson, Blake E.; Merrill, Lindsay M.; Van Zoest, Laura R.; Stockero, Shari L. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
We theorize about ambiguity in mathematical communication and define a certain subset of ambiguous language usage as imprecise. For us, imprecision in classroom mathematics discourse hinders in-the-moment communication because the instance of imprecision is likely to create inconsistent interpretations of the same statement among individuals. We…

Okkinga, Mariska; van Steensel, Roel; van Gelderen, Amos J. S.; Sleegers, Peter J. C. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Low-achieving adolescents are known to have difficulties with reading comprehension. This article discusses how reciprocal teaching can improve low-achieving adolescents' reading comprehension in whole-classroom settings (as opposed to small-group settings) and to what extent intervention effects are dependent on teacher behaviour. Over the course…

Herman, Geoffrey L.; Greene, Jennifer C.; Hahn, Laura D.; Mestre, Jose P.; Tomkin, Jonathan H.; West, Matthew – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2018
We describe a major transformation in teaching large introductory courses in the sciences and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, impacting over 17,000 students yearly. The transformation was emergent, not prescribed, and occurred through two programs that included both engineering and science departments. Working…

Nissim, Yonit; Naifeld, Edni – Journal of Education and Learning, 2018
This study focuses on implementing co-teaching models in the practical experience of teacher training processes. It examines the experience models in terms of theory versus practice from the perspectives of students of education and training teachers (school and pre-school) who participated in the special "Academy-Class" program in the…

Lake, Warren; Wallin, Margie; Woolcott, Geoff; Boyd, Wendy; Foster, Alan; Markopoulos, Christos; Boyd, William – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Student mathematics performance and the need for work-ready graduates to be mathematics-competent is a core issue for many universities. While both student and teacher are responsible for learning outcomes, there is a need to explicitly acknowledge the weak mathematics foundation of many university students. A systematic literature review was…

Allahar, Haven; Brathwaite, Candace – Industry and Higher Education, 2017
Entrepreneurship courses are now a feature of the curricula of many tertiary-level business schools. While there is a growing body of research on the subject of entrepreneurship education and learning, studies of the executive master of business administration (EMBA) are relatively sparse. This article offers an example of an entrepreneurship…
