Undergraduate research and inquiry and student-staff partnerships in teaching and learning have much in common, although their connections are not often discussed explicitly. Partnership initiatives--particularly those that engage students in collaborating with faculty/staff on disciplinary research or the scholarship of teaching and…

Different conceptualizations exist about the components of the knowledge teachers need to teach mathematics with professional consciousness, and a researcher needs to describe and assess that knowledge. The fact, however, is that different conceptualizations respond to different needs, and thus, the variety is even a chance to develop the field…

Improving student competencies to address sustainability challenges has been a subject of significant debate in higher education.

Common concerns from roundtable…
