Many educators are committed to democratic education. However, practitioners who have experienced hierarchical learning structures may unconsciously replicate these norms in their own teaching methods. Through honest reflection, teachers can reckon with their formative experiences and use the resulting insights to transcend ingrained behaviors or…

Test-based accountability (TBA) draws on a managerialist ideology that emphasises standards, constant measurement, and external motivation for improvement. It stands in sharp contrast to the idea of professional learning communities (PLCs) that aim to mobilise teachers' internal motivation and willingness to cooperate with peers to facilitate a…

The American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) states that practitioners should use the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) for clinical decision making. However, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) often report a lack of understanding, time, and resources to implement EBP. Clinicians who were exposed to EBP training during their…

This qualitative study aims to show how the beliefs and teaching practices around listening comprehension of four Chilean English-as-a-foreign-language teachers were transformed after attending an eight-session reflective workshop. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and video-recorded and audio-recorded sessions. Information was…

This study draws upon critical bifocality (Chen & Horn, 2022) and intersectional frameworks (Collins, 2019; Crenshaw, 1989) to detail critical consciousness development over time in justice-oriented elementary mathematics educators. Specifically, a Critical Participatory Inquiry (CPI) approach facilitated collective theorizing amongst myself…

Background/Purpose: This study examines the use of the Interactive Growth Guide, a structured coaching tool, within a year-long high-intensity induction program for beginning teachers. Specifically, the study investigates how the Interactive Growth Guide was integrated into the mentoring relationship between a beginning teacher and her coach and…

This article explores the innovative concept of narrative medicine, an interdisciplinary field merging humanities, arts, clinical practice, and healthcare justice, which seeks to deepen the understanding of patient experiences within healthcare settings. It highlights the transformative impact of using art museums, such as The Art Institute of…

International teaching assistants (ITAs) have a prominent role in the internationalisation of higher education (IHE). Although ITAs are considered important actors in IHE and ITA programs have a relatively long history, there is a scarcity of review studies on empirical research focusing on ITAs. This qualitative metasynthesis explores the…

There is a need to provide more case studies of alternative grading strategies in the biology education literature and report on student perceptions of these strategies. Student participants were instructed using alternative grading strategies and then completed course metacognitive self-reflections. Qualitative content analysis was performed on…

In STEM hands-on learning activities, collaboration with group members can be a significant motivator for students' engagement. This research is based on the 6E Learning by DeSIGN™ model and explores the impact of incorporating reflective strategies on students' learning performance, motivation, and participation in collaborative STEM learning…

This study presents a new instrument for assessing reflective thinking, self-efficacy, and self-regulated learning (SRL) among Universitas Terbuka postgraduate students registered in an online Research Methods course. The study validates the instrument's dependability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.918) and builds a strong factor structure by means of…

Prior research has posited that flipped classrooms facilitate students' self-directed learning and enhance grades. Although reflective writing is one method linked to academic success, it rarely has been examined empirically in the literature within the context of flipped classrooms. The current study investigated the association between growth…

Simulation with simulated patients is increasingly used in occupational therapy. Ensuring the debrief component meets student needs to develop their self-assessment skills for participating in a self-regulating profession is essential. This explanatory mixed-methods research sought to explore factors contributing to accurate and inaccurate…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how elementary STEM teachers describe their use of engaging activities and strategies to help students learn from their mistakes during STEM instruction in the Southeast region of the United States. The theoretical foundation was Bruner's Social Constructivist Theory. Two research…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand the role of perplexity in young players' experiences within an educational videogame and how reflective thinking can help them to get out of perplexing scenarios. Design/methodology/approach: We used a constructivist grounded theory approach and the lenses of Dewey's conceptualization of…
