Layman, Eric. W. – Global Education Review, 2018
Will my children's creativity be hindered if I place them within the rigidity of an East Asian school? Conversely, could my children's math and science skills benefit from the high expectations of an East Asian curriculum and teacher? The purpose of this study is two-fold. Firstly, it aims to demonstrate that comparison between Eastern and Western…

Wright-Maley, Cory – Canadian Social Studies, 2015
Simulations are of growing interest within the social studies in terms of research and practice. Although the findings of early research were unfavorable to simulations in terms of student learning, recent research has revealed new and interesting findings related to different domains of student learning that earlier research did not. In light of…

Pabuccu, Aybuke; Erduran, Sibel – International Journal of Science Education, 2017
There exists bias among students that learning organic chemistry topics requires rote learning. In this paper, we address such bias through an organic chemistry activity designed to promote argumentation. We investigated how pre-service science teachers engage in an argumentation about conformational analysis. Analysis of the outcomes concentrated…

Elson, Raymond J.; O'Callaghan, Susanne; Walker, John P.; Williams, Robert – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2013
Students rely on rote knowledge to learn accounting concepts. However, this approach does not allow them to understanding the meta language of accounting. Meta language is simply the concepts and terms that are used in a profession and are easily understood by its users. Terms such as equity, assets, and balance sheet are part of the accounting…

Saravanamuthu, Kala; Yap, Christine – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2014
Deficit theorisations of Chinese Learners studying in western countries are criticised for dichotomising learning attributes into Surface- or Deep-learning approaches. Subsequent context-dependent, small culture studies of students transiting between cultures theorise learning as a dynamic journey of adapting to a range/continuum of learning…

Handa, Yuichi – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2012
In some circles of mathematics education, repetition and rote are somehow conflated in terms of their pedagogical uses and ramifications. In this paper, I argue for the separation of the two, relying upon a framework suggested by Martin Buber's "I-Thou" ontology. In the presentation of Buber's ideas, I highlight the notion of…

The minimal-marking project conducted in Ryerson's School of Journalism throughout 2012 and early 2013 resulted in significantly higher grammar scores in two first-year classes of minimally marked university students when compared to two traditionally marked classes. The "minimal-marking" concept (Haswell, 1983), which requires…
