Ethnography is an exceptionally difficult subject to teach and learn in a classroom setting. This article, written by an ethnography professor and five graduate ethnography students, reflects on how a short-term and collectively executed fieldwork study can help alleviate this problem. Within three months, we logged over 100 hours of observations…

Contribution: This article discusses a research-practice partnership (RPP) where instructors from six undergraduate courses in three universities developed data science modules tailored to the needs of their respective disciplines, academic levels, and pedagogies. Background: STEM disciplines at universities are incorporating data science topics…

The value of traditional faculty development programmes has been questioned regarding its effectiveness in transforming clinical education. Rather than training faculty separately from their colleagues, the faculty development programme described in this paper presented an opportunity for teams of faculty to improve clinical education by…

While caregiver coaching approaches in early intervention have a comprehensive literature base, the field continues to experience a research-to-practice gap in the implementation of capacity-building coaching approaches. We examined the caregiver coaching divide and identified strategies for researchers and Part C programs to bridge the gap so…

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to define pracademia and conceptualise it in relation to educational contexts. This paper contributes to and stimulates a continuing and evolving conversation around pracademia and its relevance, role and possibilities. Design/methodology/approach: This paper is a conceptual exploration. It draws upon existing and…

This book advocates an approach the authors call "Identity Interconnections" as a way of moving considerations of identity differences and commonalities from theory to socially just action in student affairs practice. Through pursuing complex commonalities expansive enough to hold both similarities and differences, student affairs…

This brief piece has two purposes: to reflect on the argument in "What's the Problem Now?" (Bass, 2020) in light of the events of the past two years and to give that essay's core argument--that the problem of learning in higher education is a wicked problem--a more practical grounding for how it can shape the work of educational…

Teachers should be connected to, not alienated from, the philosophical underpinnings of their work. Teachers who understand themselves to be philosophers of education, and who see their work as both practical "and" philosophical in nature, may be empowered with an additional foundational and theoretical "tool" to use both in…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of Lesson Study on reconstructing students' practical knowledge during initial training as prospecting teachers. This case study sets out the voice and opinions of a student taking part in a lesson study process. The aim was to further understand how the student's opinions around teaching…

Advances in digital technologies coupled with the explosion of data are transforming the marketing education landscape at a rapid pace. Given the scale and speed of digital disruption in today's industry, marketing academics face ongoing challenges of addressing the theory-practice gap, which will only accelerate. The purpose of the current study…

The relationship between theory and practice in teacher training has been discussed extensively in the world of education. Both theoretical and practical knowledge are fundamental to teachers' engagement in educational activities. However, the question of where this knowledge comes from and how it develops over time has yet to be answered. As…

The aim of the research project was to consider whether theoretical underpinnings of the concept of differentiation would help a group of modern languages student teachers develop their understanding and practice of differentiation in the classroom. This was a small-scale inquiry with qualitative data collected from three sources: student…

Teachers with professional experience are important for improving students' learning experiences and understanding of practical industry skills in engineering. This study explores why upper-level professional engineers decided to enter teaching with their Master of Arts in Teaching or Master of Teaching programmes and how pre-service teachers with…

An effective system of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) requires assessment processes that are appropriate for the nature of the experiential learning being assessed. Otherwise, potential candidates may be discouraged from engaging in RPL applications and therefore not benefit from the lifelong learning opportunities available. It has been…

My reflections direct a performativity-theoretical perspective on the pedagogical tact, which in its systematic breadth should consider both the application approach for practice and the connectivity to theory. Regarding these dimensions, terms such as 'context sensitivity" and "reflective competence" oscillate around the nature of…
