Mathematical argumentation, justification, and proof are practices at the heart of mathematics. Yet mathematics teachers generally operate without clear definitions of these practices making it difficult to communicate expectations, decide what to accept or expect from students at different grade levels, and distinguish these activities from…

This article reports on a study exploring Greek K-12 teachers' views and beliefs about emergency remote teaching. A survey was conducted just after schools reopened on May 2020 and 694 teachers participated. The findings indicated that the majority of the participants conceptualised the pandemic as a turning point with regards to the role of…

In recent years, collaboration between faculty and schools has widely drawn attention in teacher education. However, little is currently known about the impact of faculty-school collaboration on pre-service teacher (PST) learning in the field of ELT. For this purpose, this study aims to investigate PSTs' insights of the English Fest event in terms…

Physical education teachers who are looking for creative activities that engage students and that meet national and state standards for learning, may find "Balls and Beats" as a perfect solution. "Balls and Beats", in a fun and dynamic atmosphere, covers all the basic needs for effective student learning based upon the the…

To adults entering a Montessori classroom for the first time, the activities they observe may not seem particularly academic. Depending on the students' ages, children might be found working independently, having spirited discussions in small groups, or working on long-term projects. Inconspicuous teachers observe and take notes or give lessons to…

This article presents an analysis of a team-teaching approach, applied in two learning spaces: a regular mathematics classroom; and a hairdressing salon at an upper secondary vocational education and training (VET) school. A mathematics teacher and a VET teacher jointly developed, planned and carried out the teaching activities in these two…

The significance of evaluating academic engagement strategies that contribute to immigrants' success has increased in recent years. The influx of immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa to the United States accounted for the increase. The purpose of the research study was to examine educators' experiences with academic engagement strategies for recent…

Despite recent calls to more fully incorporate multimodal perspectives into literacies research, there is still limited scholarship examining how students critically engage in reading activities by drawing on embodied practices. Racially and linguistically minoritized students are particularly disadvantaged by dominant logocentric and…

E-learning platforms have become increasingly popular in K--8 education to promote student learning and enhance classroom teaching. Student interactions with these platforms produce trace data, which are digital records of learning processes. Although trace data have been effective in identifying learners' engagement profiles in higher education…

This paper describes analyses of the K-12 computational thinking (CT) integration activities collected at two NSF-funded workshops, "Developing an Interdisciplinary Framework for Integrating Computational Thinking in K-12 Science, Mathematics, Technology, and Engineering Education," held in August and November of 2017 at Education…

Design-based learning (DBL) offers opportunities to support students' content understanding. Previous DBL studies reported different effect sizes by using the data from one participant group. The goal of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis that would give a comprehensive picture of how DBL is connected to student achievement in different…

Aiming at exploring the possibility of the…

This article investigates use of digital storytelling as a learning activity in education about migration. Based on a study in two Norwegian schools and two adult education centers for refugees and migrants, the article analyzes student's digital stories and observations of the process of production. Counter to research on the promise of digital…

Research shows that desirable difficulties as achieved with spaced repetition, interleaving, and retrieval (SIR) have positive long-term impacts on student learning, because the learning sticks. This book guides you through these three techniques for a more brain-compatible classroom geared toward student success. Combing through research for…
