Method: Using an experimental design, 34 adults were…

By providing explicit instruction, teacher educators can play an essential role in helping teacher candidates develop as reflective antiracist educators. Using critical ethnography and case study, we examined the role of explicit instruction in helping teacher candidates develop skills in critical reflection. Findings revealed that explicit…

This study aimed to address the gap in an environmental science undergraduate course by investigating the impact of explicitly integrating the Nature of Science (NOS) into the instruction of scientific inquiry. The lab-based course focused on developing an understanding of the natural world, as well as the processes scientists use to study that…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of utilizing explicit instruction, point-of-view video modeling, and augmented reality technology to teach mathematics to students with disabilities. A multiple probe single-case research design was used. Three students with Learning Disabilities (LD) who were receiving special education…

This quasi-experimental study aimed to investigate the effect of polite corrective feedback (CF) on Iranian EFL learners' immediate and delayed grammatical accuracy. The participants included a convenient sample of 60 intermediate male/female EFL learners (four 15-member groups) selected from a private language institute in Tabriz. After the…
