The call for research in the special educator preparation community is needed to help provide successful strategies to support effective teaching and student learning (Brownell et al., 2019). The purpose of this study was to better understand the impact of a learning environment for pre-service educator self-efficacy and their implementation of…

Sara Stetina-Reed – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Experiential learning is a child-centered approach to education designed to minimize the role of authority, shift the power dynamic away from the teacher, and place children at the center in curriculum activities. In direct instruction, teachers play a leading role in constructing and delivering lessons to students. Direct instruction occurs when…

Bateman, Kathryn M.; Wilson, Cristina G.; Williams, Randolph T.; Tikoff, Basil; Shipley, Thomas F. – Science & Education, 2022
Understanding and communicating uncertainty is a key skill needed in the practice of science. However, there has been little research on the instruction of uncertainty in undergraduate science education. Our team designed a module within an online geoscience field course which focused on explicit instruction around uncertainty and provided…

Patrick Sins; Renske de Leeuw; Jaap de Brouwer; Emmy Vrieling-Teunter – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial to students' learning. SRL is characterized by students taking initiative, showing perseverance and adaptively regulating their learning. Teachers play an essential role in promoting and fostering this process. However, several studies have shown that in primary education explicit instruction of SRL…

Lin Zhang; John Sweller – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
The use of investigations in science teaching is both common and commonly advocated for in science education literature. We suggest that the use of investigations should differ depending on the complexity of the subject matter. That complexity can vary depending on both the nature of the information and students' expertise levels. The present…

Carisma Nel – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
As a language teacher, teacher educator and researcher, to me the name Rebecca Oxford has always been synonymous with language learning strategies across the world and specifically the theme of its teachability. Rebecca has always stated that the language teacher's role includes strategy instruction even if it achieves only partial success.…

Peer feedback is regarded as playing a vital role in fostering preservice teachers' noticing and reasoning skills during technology integration. However, novices in particular (e.g., pre-service teachers) tend to provide rather superficial feedback, which does not necessarily contribute to professional development. Against this background, we…

Emily Bouck; Mary Bouck; Rubia D. Anderson – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2025
Fractions are an important concept used throughout advanced mathematical ideas and everyday life. Students need a solid understanding of fraction concepts, such as magnitude, equivalence, and operations. However, many students, including students with learning disabilities (LD) in mathematics, struggle with fractions. In this article, the use of…

Hugh W. Catts; Alan G. Kamhi – American Educator, 2025
Grassroots efforts and other advocacy have led to the vast majority of states adopting policies designed to improve the reading outcomes of all children, including those who struggle to read. Whereas these policies consider various aspects of reading, much of their emphasis has been on developing word reading accuracy and fluency through explicit…

Salehomoum, Maryam – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2023
This study examined the effect of explicit instruction of reading comprehension strategies, such as identification of unknown vocabulary and relating text to background knowledge, on four deaf and hard of hearing students' use of strategies and reading comprehension performance pre- and post-intervention. Explicit instruction of strategies…

Aylward, Ronald C.; Cronjé, Johannes C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
The pedagogical paradigms of Direct instruction (behaviorism/objectivism) and Constructivism are often seen as opposing paradigms at the ends of an instructional design continuum. Unfortunately, this view makes the two approaches mutually exclusive. Designers must use the one at the expense of the other. A previous study proposed that the two…

Eric Torres – Educational Theory, 2024
Educating students for democratic life requires teachers to make difficult judgment calls about whether controversial issues are appropriate for "directive teaching" (i.e., teaching that attempts to persuade students to adopt a particular view about the thing being taught). To help educators make these decisions, theorists have proposed…

Scott, Terrance M. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2023
Decades of educational research have demonstrated that students are most likely to be successful when instruction is explicit and engaging and provides students with multiple opportunities to practice with teacher feedback. To be explicit means more than simply telling students what to do. It is the teacher's responsibility to help the student…

Lange, Christopher; Gorbunova, Anna; Shcheglova, Irina; Costley, Jamie – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2023
Research often examines cognitive load as it relates to direct instruction, worked examples and problem-solving combined as an integrated whole. The present study examines these strategies in isolation to see their effect on cognitive load. Using learning materials covering the basics of critical thinking to undergraduate law students (n = 160) at…
