A review of the literature underpinning mathematics education illustrates that in order to achieve an equitable mathematics education, we must consider other methods of preparing mathematics teachers--methods that encourage identity development, specifically cultural awareness and open-mindedness as two key facets of this construct. This study…

With the massive use of new learning technologies, such as mobile learning through on-line platforms, or more "traditional" live classes taught through virtual meeting platforms, the interaction between students and teachers can be poor or limited.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have become a prominent alternative source of learning for engineering and science students. This rising proclivity for MOOCs among students is based on multiple factors. Several studies have focused on factors that affect MOOCs usage, and most of them have used the Motivation theory. These studies have…

The creation of a community classroom, grounded in the philosophy of experiential learning, was the challenge for our education students and ourselves as instructors.
