Research on co-teaching in higher education often focuses on the benefits to the apprentice, but co-teaching partnerships should benefit both team members. As part of our institution's recent membership in a professional development network for future STEM faculty, we developed a postdoctoral certificate in teaching excellence that includes…

Enhancing students' experience in classrooms in the FE sector by improving instructional quality has been an ongoing challenge for years. Although mentoring has contributed quite considerably to developing teachers' competence and making them more resilient, looking at mentoring from a different perspective requires and deserves immediate…

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…

In this study, I explore a time when I crafted a philosophy of practice (PoP) to inform team-teaching encounters. I articulate my experience through a blended auto-ethnographical account. I propose that integrating an intentionally designed PoP for team-teaching aids in uncovering group-based responsibilities, opportunities, and limitations. The…

Co-teaching offers a unique opportunity space for literacy instruction; however, this opportunity is rarely optimized and the result on students' literacy growth is often unimpressive. We propose that co-teaching is only a structural intervention, but it can become a powerful pedagogical intervention if teachers approach co-teaching as an…

Purpose: A growing body of research has pointed to the potential benefits of a co-teaching clinical residency model in preservice education. Preservice co-teaching research has focused primarily on conditions necessary for effective co-teaching to occur, factors that inhibit successful co-teaching implementation, and teacher candidate development.…

This study investigated the effects of a co-teaching training program on female pre-service teachers of special education at the Faculty of Education, King Saud University. It also examined whether the participants' academic majors affected their total knowledge gains obtained from the administered training program. A co-teaching training program…

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 purpose of this qualitative phenomenological research study was to explore the perspectives of Arkansas secondary school administrators regarding the use of co-teaching to deliver special education (SPED) content instruction. Individual interviews and a focus group discussion was used to collect data from nine Arkansas secondary…

Background: This paper analyzes a remembered shared experience of cocurricular designing and coteaching an experiential learning pilot project in a university study abroad program (SAP) that emphasized social justice. Purpose: We look back because the pilot program is a significant demonstration of what complexities can arise when feminist…

This study implemented a self-study design to examine the researchers' own experiences of transferring in-person co-teaching in teacher education courses into a virtual setting during COVID-19. Multiple qualitative data including planning and reflection discussions for each co-teaching session, students' exit notes, and focus group interviews were…

Often, composition instructors struggle to encourage STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) students to see the relevance of writing courses to their personal goals. Students' lack of recognition of the importance of literacy skills can lead to disengagement in required college writing courses compared to their so-called…

Despite growing interest in applying human-centred design methods to create learning analytics (LA) systems, most efforts have concentrated on initial design phases, with limited exploration of how LA tools and practices can coevolve during the actual learning and teaching activities. This paper examines how a human-centred LA dashboard can be…
