This conceptual replication study, building upon Bartholomew (2020), addresses a notable gap in the literature by investigating the potential of using learning by evaluating (LbE) as an interview primer for individual assignments in design coursework. While peer feedback commonly involves both giving and receiving feedback, LbE uniquely focuses on…

Design activities are increasingly used in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. Guiding students during these activities can be challenging for STEM teachers, who may be inexperienced in the field of design. In this study, we focused on a case of three chemistry teachers who implemented design projects in their…

Teaching business ethics is a formidable task. The lingering question of whether we can teach business ethics has plagued educators and scholars. Unlike a typical competence-based module that quantitatively reflects a student's performance through their grades, grades alone cannot represent a student's ethical conviction. The business ethics…

Applied behavior analysis professionals have valuable expertise to share with parents of individuals with disabilities. Unfortunately, professionals also tend to talk like professionals, which means they use technical terminology that may be detrimental to productive relationships with stakeholders. Several studies have documented that laypersons…

Genetics is a fundamental topic in Biology, yet its abstract nature presents challenges in the learning process. Effective teaching of genetics concepts requires appropriate instructional approaches to facilitate student understanding. The success of learning outcomes depends on various components, including teachers, students, learning…

Within education, we often encounter the urgent need to recruit teachers who possess subject-specific knowledges and who can pedagogically teach the students the right things. In this article, I turn to youth work and the statement "I have a plan to not have plan" to put forward another view of pedagogical work--one that views knowledge…

This study explores the integration of indigenous stories into thematic teaching in Ghanaian kindergartens to enhance foundational learning. Guided by Rogoff's sociocultural theory and participatory action research, data were collected from four schools in the Awutu-Senya East Municipality through observations and interviews. The findings show…

To science instructors, it may seem obvious that understanding cell theory is essential for understanding how some diseases spread and can be treated. For students, these connections are often unclear at best. For some students, this knowledge might help propel their interest in life science and keep them motivated to engage and persist even when…

There is an infinity of realized and potential creative things, creative ideas, and creative performances, and yet there is no such thing as creativity, at least not in the two ways most of us think about creativity. (1) There is no general essence of creativity, no indispensable factor or shared quality that is an intrinsic part of all creative…

This systematic literature review examines how experimental design is taught in chemistry education by using the PRISMA 2020 methodology. The review aims to identify research trends, analyze pedagogical approaches, and examine the pedagogical strategies and methods employed in this process, particularly concerning the preparation of future…

Teacher noticing--i.e., attending to and interpreting--students' mathematical thinking is a predominant framework in preparation programs for pre-service mathematics teachers, based on the assumption that they should learn to notice early in their training to acquire the expertise needed in their professional lives. Most research on this topic…

In recent years, teaching as a profession has seen a sharp decline in the number of individuals entering teacher education programs, and certified teachers are leaving the classroom at alarming rates. Although there are a myriad of reasons cited for this trend, we posit as others have, that one challenge to our profession has been the…

The goal for all students is that they become proficient readers. When students are not making adequate progress with core or supplemental reading supports, their instruction needs to intensify until they are on track for reading success. Intensifying instruction for students with reading difficulties is challenging. There are many evidence-based…

In this study, our team observed sixth-grade teachers as they taught fractions to students in their mathematics intervention classes to see whether they were including motivational-supportive messages within the framework of Situated Expectancy-Value Theory. Messages in the intervention lessons and teacher transcripts were explored and analyzed,…

This study focuses on the practical teaching mode of vocational education under the background of Internet Plus. The traditional model has some problems, such as lack of resources, single method, weak teachers and one-sided evaluation. The internet has brought many positive effects on practical teaching, such as expanding resources, providing…
