Despite its centrality to practice-based teacher education, in addition to its exciting affordances for generating meaningful learning-to-teach experiences, the construct of deliberate practice has not yet received much attention in the scholarly literature on language teacher preparation. In this concept-based practice feature, the author…

The main objective of this four-year empirical research project has been to develop the experimental design skills of 12-16 year-old Hungarian pupils in Grades 7-10 of junior high school through guided inquiry, using six chemistry experiment worksheets each school year. Group 1 (control group) and Group 2 follow step-by-step instructions, but…

This qualitative research study explores the use of a new belief-based visioning tool as a component of co-creating new learning environments. It examines the perceptions of educators from a Midwestern suburban school district working with an architectural firm to design a new middle school. The study was designed as a participatory evaluative…

Notwithstanding advances in pedagogical research, college professors have used few evidence-based (EB) practices to enhance student learning. Concurrently, healthcare professionals have been incorporating EB research into practice for years. The key to successful adoption of EB practices in real world settings is effective implementation.…

Over the past decade, more attention to data, quantitative, and critical data literacies in writing studies has led to a variety of approaches for getting students to experiment with data in their writing projects. This article explores an approach combining "data feminism" and "quantitative rhetoric" that asks students to…

Despite the importance of gamification in education, there is still ongoing debate in the literature about how to design effective and useful educational gamification. This is because gamification is a complex concept that requires combining various game elements together. To further contribute to this discussion, this study first develops a…

Universal design (UD) is a design philosophy that offers effective concepts and tools to help designers develop accessible products, services, and environments. Despite the growing need for inclusive design strategies, UD is not typically integrated into design education, particularly textile design. Textile design is associated with the process…

This article investigates views and discourses on outdoor play in preschool teachers talks about their playgrounds and outdoor practices in Swedish preschools. Included were a strategic sample of teachers from newer, larger preschool facilities with more programmed outdoor space, and teachers from older, more traditional facilities containing more…

This article reports on a novel approach to integrate artificial intelligence into a digital collaborative platform embedded with a problem-based mathematics curriculum. Using design research methodologies, we developed a new "proof-of-concept" design feature called "student proportional reasoning arrows (SPArrows)." SPArrows…

This report details a set of three tasks used in an exploratory study of pre-service teachers' (PSTs) experiences of task design for the mathematics classroom. The three tasks, which I call the "Orange Dot Tasks," were constructed in Desmos, a dynamic geometry environment (DGE), and participants engaged each task through manipulating…

This critical literature review examines how classroom design influences attention, regulation, and learning in early childhood education (ECE). Combining Montessori pedagogy with Bronfenbrenner's theories as a conceptual framework, this review considers biopsychosocial impacts of physical classroom spaces. Experimental classroom research…

This systematic review examines how preservice teachers' (PSTs) domain-specific epistemological beliefs (EB) are studied and understood within initial teacher education (ITE) with attention to theoretical, contextual, and methodological aspects. Findings from 24 empirical studies published up to 2024 were synthesized. The review analyzed…

Background: Recovery Colleges offer an educational approach to personal recovery within mental health services. Fundamentally, course design and delivery incorporates co-production via collaboration between practitioner and peer trainers. Objective: What guidance, training and support have been provided for peer and practitioner trainers who…

Innovative digital technologies, particularly virtual reality (VR), have significant potential to enhance design education by creating virtual design classrooms that support collaborative and 3D studio practices on campus and in distance learning. However, the methods of integrating these technologies and their impacts on design education need…

The composite instructional design PS-I combines an initial problem-solving phase (PS) with a subsequent explicit instruction phase (I). PS-I has proven effective for conceptual learning in comparison to instructional designs with the reverse order (I-PS), especially when the explicit instruction phase productively builds on students' erroneous or…
