There is a national need to recruit more science teachers. Enhancing pathways to teaching for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors could help to address this need. The Learn By Doing Lab is a course in which STEM undergraduates teach hands-on life science and physical science to local third- through eighth-grade…

Understanding students' mathematical thinking in problem solving process plays an important role in facilitating the solution. Hence, teachers or pre-service teachers need to understand students' thoughts and guide them to the correct answer. The aim of this study was to examine pre-service teachers' approaches to guiding students in problem…

The intention of this article is to provide ideas and resources for educators to consider when planning for the implementation of a mindful yoga unit of instruction. Although not exhaustive, we have used the MINDFUL YOGA acronym as a means to organize and structure the various ideas and resources listed in this paper. Through the use of the…

This study explored children's perceptions of a canine-assisted social-emotional learning program developed within the framework of a canine therapy program at a mid-sized Canadian university. Data collection made use of interviews, field notes, and observations. Children (N = 8, 5-11 years) from an after-school program participated in a six-week…

Service-learning is increasingly regarded as a high-impact pedagogy strategy in the field of speech-language pathology. It has been shown to mutually benefit speech-language pathology (SLP) graduate students and the communities they serve.
