This paper addresses the integrated use of the arts and digital technology in mathematics education--specifically involving aspects of preservice teachers' mathematical activity while engaging in music production, in pedagogic scenarios conceived of as aesthetic mathematical experiences (AMEs). Theoretically, the research evokes notions such as…

This study investigated how video caption type affected vocabulary learning and listening comprehension of low-intermediate Chinese-speaking learners of English. Each video was presented twice with one of the five caption types: (1) no caption (NC), (2) full caption with no audio (FCNA), (3) full caption (FC), (4) full caption with highlighted…

This practitioner article describes the recent implementation of critical media literacy (CML) activities in secondary teacher education at a large university in the Southwestern United States. Preservice teachers in a content area literacy course analyzed a variety of media coverage of events that occurred near their university. Using an…

Autistic individuals often possess strengths and abilities. Despite these strengths, employment outcomes for this population remain low. Strengths-based programs, focusing on developing skills in a supportive environment, may enable autistic adolescents to more effectively prepare for the workforce. This study explores the principal components and…

Teaching strategies have a significant influence on students' academic performance. This paper presents results from a qualitative study that examined the effects that performance ranking in Mathematics has on teaching strategies employed in Mathematics classrooms. In particular, the paper demonstrates how performance ranking disguises and…

Involving parents in their children's school-based English language learning is beneficial to learners' academic achievement as well as their language and literacy development. However, involving parents can be challenging. This study reports on one teacher's use of a digital learning platform, Seesaw, with his third-grade (7 to 8 year-olds)…

Various technology-based interventions exist to support writing for students with learning disabilities (LD). However, it is not enough to simply provide access to technology. How it is implemented by teachers may affect student outcomes. In this study, three special education teachers used a technology-based graphic organizer (TBGO) with embedded…

The reading comprehension levels of students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) are low compared to those of their hearing peers. One possible reason for this low reading levels is related to the students' prior knowledge. This study investigated the potential factors that might affected DHH students' prior knowledge, including their degree of…

The purpose of the study was to justify and check experimentally the efficiency in the application of distance learning technologies to ensure future teachers' readiness to pedagogical work in the process of general professional training. The quasi-experimental research was conducted while delivering the disciplines of "Pedagogics" and…

Stigmatization of students with disabilities relates to adverse long-term effects. Research provides evidence that the majority of students maintain negative cognitive and affective attitudes toward peers with disabilities. As these attitudes begin to develop in childhood and directly affect students in the educational context, schools are…

This quasi-experimental study, using a pretest-treatment-posttest-delayed posttest design, investigated the effects of two comprehensive corrective feedback strategies: direct corrective feedback (DCF), and metalinguistic explanation (ME) on L2 learners' written syntactic accuracy. The participants were 90 Turkish EFL learners. After ensuring…

A challenge with flipped instruction is the pre-class preparation, where students independently learn fundamental content outside the classroom. For this pre-class learning, instructors typically assign videos with quizzes. However, this approach is the same for all and does not address differential needs. In a prior National Science Foundation…

Based on collaborative communication, reciprocal learning, and knowledge sharing, the college English online learning community, which is a kind of effective online learning method, can help to build knowledge construction and innovation. Therefore, from analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation, ADDIE model is utilized to…

The current study investigated the effects of interactive picture-book read-alouds on middle school EFL students' word inference ability and attitudes toward reading in English. To this end, two classes of seventh-grade students from a public middle school in Taiwan participated and were randomly divided into two groups: an interactive…

Technology integration in K-12 mathematics has received increased attention in the last decade as new mathematical technologies have been developed and implemented more often. There is a need for further research on these technologies and for effective implementation practices of technology in mathematics education in general. in practice,…
