The purpose of this study was to synthesize experimental studies that explain the effect of student-centered methods and techniques used in primary school mathematics courses on academic achievement. Some certain criteria were selected and applied regarding the inclusion of primary study in the synthesis. As a result of qualitative systematic…

This article argues that the best way to increase inquiry-based instruction is paradoxically to pay more attention to direct instruction because excessive attention to practices like close reading of texts and facilitating text-based discussions has led to neglect of content knowledge explanation as a core instructional practice. This article…

Addressing legacies of past injustice is a central concern for transitional justice. It has most commonly been attempted through a 'truth-telling' approach; it is assumed that if the truth of past injustices is made known, then justice can be acted upon within contemporary society. 'Truth telling'--and disciplinary approaches to learning about…

In this article, two pedagogical approaches intended to foster social inclusion in school-based dance programs are described: inquiry and reverse chronology. The inclusion of inquiry and reverse chronology as featured pedagogies in Queensland, Australia's statewide General Senior Dance Syllabus is discussed, including the combined use of these…

The objectives of this research were: (1) To develop and examine a learning model using STEM activities for pre-service science teachers; and (2) To study the condition and develop a learning model using STEM activities in science teaching integrated with Thai local context using schools and communities as bases. The target group of the research…

This study reports on in-service mathematics teachers' views of geometry in the context of ethnomathematics. A convergent parallel mixed method design which includes both quantitative and qualitative methods was used to provide a deeper understanding of how the participants view geometry from an ethnomathematics perspective. Questionnaires and…

The influence of non-formal professional learning in higher education remains a relatively under-researched area. This paper aims to contribute to the literature by exploring the impact of an implementation of non-formal professional learning operating at an Irish university since April 2017. The initiative--called "The Sipping…

In this article, Barbara Applebaum examines "the inability to disagree claim" as it arises in objections made by those who want to ban "critical race theory" from being taught in schools and universities. Employing insights from the recent scholarship around willful hermeneutical ignorance, she discerns the important role that…

In this article, two autoethnographies from Australia and New Zealand provide a means of engaging students in difficult histories of colonial nations. The first looks to knowledge as a basis of understanding others, and the second focuses on concepts of empathy and vulnerability as a way of understanding difficult histories. Each of these…

Designed for this study as a conceptual framework comprising particular educational approaches and techniques for mathematics teaching and learning, the Successful Mathematics Classroom (SMC) aimed to promote college students' mathematics self-efficacy, motivation, and achievement. Through using a case study methodology, a range of tests and…

This article draws from the work of scholars in Critical Whiteness Studies to provide a nuanced analysis of 'white shame' in anti-racist education. In particular, it is argued that antiracist politics and pedagogy can be enriched by recognizing the affective and political complexities emerging from white shame and shaming. The purpose is to…

The objective of traditional software development courses focuses on competencies in the programming languages and technical tools. Project methodologies and software development are typically taught as theory-driven and separate courses in Information Systems undergraduate programs. Rather than teaching project methodologies as secondary to the…

A liberal arts education for Christians is about finding God's truth; therefore, Christian students need to be educated in a broad range of subjects, including music. While a music appreciation course is thought to be about gaining knowledge of music, some music scholars have pointed out that a music curriculum should involve students in…

In this article, the authors define numberless math stories and highlight three strategies for supporting equitable problem solving: (1) The Turn-and-Tell Strategy; (2) Storyboard and Story Mat; and (3) The Act-It-Out Strategy. These three strategies open up problem solving and give every student access to a challenging mathematics curriculum…

Being outdoors encourages content creativity, inclusion of new ideas and perspectives, student voice and agency, authentic contextualization, and connection to nature. In this article, the authors share why integrating mathematics and nature is beneficial for both students and teachers, provide an example of a middle-grades lesson taught outside,…
