This paper presents important findings that were observed as interconnected key elements of high-quality co-teaching of a physics course for pre-service science teachers while the collaborating faculty experienced a "pedagogical convergence." This pedagogical convergence is akin to the "conceptual convergence" that Roschelle…

Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT), the knowledge used by a teacher to teach mathematics, has often been examined as a cognitive construct in K-6 teachers, but little research exists examining MKT in the post-secondary teaching context. Schoenfeld (2020) extended the definition of knowledge and thus MKT to include tacit and explicit…

This self-reflective study investigated lecturers' perspectives on and adaptability to co-teaching in teacher education in South Africa. The purpose of the study was to examine lecturers' personal experiences with collaborative co-teaching and to identify the changes that are required to make co-teaching effective. A sample of teacher education…

Interdisciplinary teaching by teams of diverse faculty is highly effective in providing students with intellectual tools for creating innovative solutions to 21st century problems. This article examines the effective practices for interdisciplinary teaching used by a five-membered, disciplinarily diverse faculty team with expertise in chemistry,…

This paper explores how two assistant professors who come from diverse paradigmatic, theoretical, and methodological perspectives collaborated for impact to co-teach in a literacy doctoral program. Initially, we grappled with naming and negotiating our differences individually and professionally across race, culture, theory, and methodology.…

The study adopted ex post facto research design; was conducted in Nigeria with a sample of 100 respondents, accidentally selected since the population was not finite. Questionnaire duly validated and reliability-tested generated data analyzed using simple linear regression. Result, F - 8.676 greater than critical F - 3.92 rejected null hypothesis,…

This paper is about interdisciplinary collaboration in a higher education context. The authors have investigated their own experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration through reflexive autobiographical narrative writing and co-generative dialogue. The experience of working in a project which brought together students from different parts of the…

This article describes a co-teaching collaboration between an instructor and an academic librarian, working together to deliver an innovative, inquiry-based course offered to first- and second-year university students. The authors describe the context for this relationship and the methods that were used to ensure that this collaboration…

The purpose of this case study was to investigate the perception and experience of ten new faculty member participants in paired teaching. Along with providing evidence for paired teaching as an avenue for professional development in higher education, the study provides experiential narratives of paired teaching relationships as an illustration of…

Like many other universities, Musical Acoustics is offered at our school as a lab-based course fulfilling general science requirements for non-majors. The course has been team-taught by a physics professor and music professor since its earliest inception and, by far, the most popular unit explores room acoustics through a variety of activities and…

The value of internationalization within the limits of mobility has become more pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic. As reflection occurs on our own history, navigating a period of reset and renewal, this paper examines how to advance our thinking, and explore and transverse essential differences within the digital space. Hence, recalibrating…

Teaching in inclusive classes requires that general teachers have basic competences in individualised support for students. Teacher education currently faces the challenge of preparing general student teachers for teaching in inclusive classes and stimulating their integration of knowledge about inclusion, special education, general school…

Nurse educators at the undergraduate level spend significant time developing and revising exam questions. Following the exam administration, course faculty have the opportunity to complete an item analysis and question revision to improve reliability and validity. A challenge faculty face is tracking these exam changes when teaching as part of a…

The climate crisis is a growing concern for many people, especially those who are of college age, making it an important and pressing issue to explore in honors courses. Eco-Art: Using Art to Reconcile with the Climate Crisis, a University of New Mexico (UNM) Honors College course, integrates the disciplines of art and environmental justice to…

With a primary objective to engage students in the process of science online, we transformed a long-standing laboratory course for first-year science students into a more accessible, immersive experience of current biological research using a narrow and focused set of primary literature and the Consider, Read, Elucidate a hypothesis, Analyze and…
