To better understand how to support high school students' engagement, advancements in research methods that provide greater understandings of malleable factors of engagement and conditions that affect students' engagement are needed. In this conceptual paper, we introduce four dilemmas that researchers need to navigate to study secondary students'…

In the paper, the results of a study into a problem of cognitive barriers (difficulties) related to the third component of a pedagogical triad "how to teach what to teach to how to be learned study" are reported. At the first stage, methodical approaches to academic performance rating for students learning mathematical and…

The flexible remit of this article should operate as an invitation for educational practitioners to consider and hopefully engage with a range of democratic and pliable pedagogical tactics, and ways in which they might be adapted across academic and curricular contexts. As such, the article does not present a specific and robustly complete set of…

Task interspersal is a commonly used teaching method for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. There are several procedural variations of task interspersal reported in the literature. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to examine the effectiveness of different procedural variations and the effectiveness of task interspersal across…

As medical schools have changed their curricula to address foundational and clinical sciences in a more integrated fashion, teaching methods such as concept mapping have been incorporated in small group learning settings. Methods that can assess students' ability to apply such integrated knowledge are not as developed, however. The purpose of this…

Purpose: High-variability phonetic training (HVPT) has been found to be effective on adult second language (L2) learning, but results are mixed in regards to the benefit of multiple talkers over single talker. This study provides a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate the talker variability effect in nonnative phonetic learning and…

This study aimed to assess college of education students' learning attitude and academic performance in using m-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employed a pre-test and post-test experimental research design with 50 students from the College of Education, Ikere Ekiti, Nigeria. Two research instruments were used to collect data from…

In this article, I discuss a conceptual framework for supporting Muslim students using Culturally Relevant, Responsive, and Sustaining Pedagogies informed by a Collaborative Inquiry approach. The impact of 9/11 and its consequences on Muslim students' temporal and social contexts calls for a critical stance that questions teachers' assumptions…

One-hundred ninety-nine literacy professors responded to an online survey. A multivariate outcome logit/probit model was used to analyze these data to determine how professor and institution characteristics were related to (a) technologies that professors use in their courses, (b) technologies that professors prepare teachers to use, (b) teaching…

This article analyses recent developments in Danish film and television education through a case study of a new training initiative for creating content for children and young audiences. Following an outline of traditional training and career trajectories in the Danish screen industries in general, and for working with children's film and…

Teacher knowledge is particularly important in middle school mathematics to enhance the meaningful transition from arithmetic to algebra. Developing a solid understanding of algebra requires teachers to unpack the meaning underlying the basic concepts, make clear and explicit distinctions among concepts, and facilitate students to connect these…

Using the nationally representative sample from the United States in the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (N = 7,429 students from 240 schools), I examined the relationship between teacher instructional practices and student mathematics achievement. To account for the multilevel structure of the data with students nested within…

Mathematical and didactic knowledge presented in mathematics textbooks and other resources, like mathematics comics (MCs), needs to be evaluated from a lens of appropriate theoretical framework in mathematics education before it can be used as a medium for teaching and learning mathematics. Therefore, this study investigates mathematical and…

This study investigated preservice teachers' levels of mathematics anxiety before and after a mathematics methods course. Changes were measured using manipulatives and other activities to make mathematics concepts more concrete and meaningful. Both quantitative and qualitative measures were utilized. Informal discussions, informal interviews, and…

Anatomy and physiology lectures, traditionally held face-to-face at Florida Gulf Coast University, moved overnight to an online environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reflecting back on our teaching experience, a few goals to successful Zoom-based teaching emerged: make meaningful connections with the students, stay connected with students by…
