Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is consistently seen as a top priority; however, STEM programs often suffer from low retention. Students who start in STEM degree programs often lose interest or face obstacles that cause them to leave. Here, we describe a non-traditional approach meant to encourage a range of…

Teacher assessment literacy research with pre-service teachers (PSTs) has highlighted that they are not well prepared to use assessments to support student learning. Thus, initial teacher education (ITE) programs needs to ensure that PSTs are provided with a range of opportunities to acquire both theoretical and practical assessment knowledge and…

This case study draws a specific link to the practice of action learning (AL) in China. We organized ourselves into an AL set and used Revans' AL, as interpreted by Marquardt (2004), to create a post-teaching dialog to examine the experience gained from delivering an interdisciplinary course online--a novice situation--in a Chinese transnational…
