Virtually Connecting (VC) is a connected learning volunteer movement that enlivens virtual conference experiences by partnering those that are at the conference with virtual participants that cannot attend. In looking to articulate the ethos and intentions of VC, a manifesto was developed by a group of core members and presented at the Digital…

Resultative constructions show a wide range of cross-linguistic variation, which may pose nontrivial challenges to L2 learners. This study investigates how syntactic and semantic differences between L1 and L2 affect L2 acquisition of resultatives. In particular, we investigate how L1-Korean learners project the syntax and semantics of L2-English…

The Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) learning cycle improves understanding of the connection between empirical results and theoretical concepts when students engage in hands-on experimentation. This study explored whether training students to use a POE strategy when learning from social science texts that describe theories and experimental results…

This article is a revised version of the keynote presented at LAK '16 in Edinburgh. The article investigates some of the assumptions of learning analytics, notably those related to behaviourism. Building on the work of Ivan Pavlov, Herbert Simon, and James Gibson as ways of "learning as a machine," the article then develops two levels of…

This conceptual paper proposes a model to describe the quality of student dialogue during participative collaborative problem solving. Drawing on the participation metaphor of learning, we argue that the construct of mathematical sophistication is useful to describe the quality. We then present two frameworks, mathematical competencies and…

The ideology of whiteness has received little attention in mathematics education. In this paper, we develop a framework for documenting how whiteness shapes mathematics education as a racialized space. Drawing on the sociological concept of "white institutional space" (Feagin, Vera, & Imani, 1996; Moore, 2008), the framework examines…

As educational technology platforms become more and more commonplace in education, it is critical that these systems work well across a diverse range of student sub-groups. In this study, we estimated the effectiveness of MAP Accelerator; a large-scale, personalized, web-based, mathematics mastery learning platform. Our analysis placed a…

We present an analysis of log data from a semester's use of the OpenDSA eTextbook system with the goal of determining the most difficult course topics in a data structures course. While experienced instructors can identify which topics students most struggle with, this often comes only after much time and effort, and does not provide real-time…

Student tutoring in innovative teaching and learning practices promotes personal and professional learning. Experiential learning theory underpins this research. An interpretive, qualitative approach and narrative strategy with purposive sampling was used. The tutor narrative accounts of tutoring the Research and Service-Learning module in…

This exploratory narrative inquiry examines the experiences of Asian/American female school and district leaders as they mediate racism and sexism. Grounded in Asia Critical Race Theory (AsianCrit) and feminism, this study theorizes how Asian/American women are ascribed as hard-working and subservient "lapdogs," while simultaneously…

This study aims to discover undergraduate students' perceptions about the practice of critical consciousness in the classroom at Taif University, Saudi Arabia. The research also determines if there is a difference, by gender, among the undergraduate students' perceptions of the practice of critical consciousness in the classroom. Paulo Freire's…

This quasi-experimental research aims to investigate the effects of intensive and extensive recasts on learning the English simple present singular -s. In line with this purpose, firstly 56 beginner level learners were non-randomly assigned to three different groups: written intensive recast (n = 20), written extensive recast (n = 17), and control…

Master narratives exist in many forms within mathematics education. Preservice elementary teachers often are seen as having high levels of math anxiety while students in developmental mathematics are seen as being deficit in their mathematical understanding. This study uses counterstories to understand the experiences of two women of color, who…

Aim/Purpose: Academics are often requested to create and teach courses for emerging technologies with perhaps no experience or guidance on how to do so. Background: A Framework to develop IT courses for emerging technologies was created and tested to assist academics; the framework was then tested by developing an IoT course. Methodology: A…

Access to quality education for all children is a common mantra for countless national and world organizations, such as the UN and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper examines the struggle within two nations who continue to move beyond the impact of racial segregation in the United States (US) and "apartheid" in South…
