Hannah E. Starr – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Teaching symmetry point groups to introductory inorganic chemistry students is often complicated by the difficulties students face with mental manipulation of complex molecules. Additionally, most textbooks provide practice in the form of random two-dimensional molecules or figures of little significance. As an alternative, an assignment is…

Jonathan Hoseana; Andy Leonardo Louismono; Oriza Stepanus – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
We describe and evaluate a method to mitigate unwanted student collaborations in assessments, which we recently implemented in a second-year undergraduate mathematics module. The method requires a list of specific pairs of students to be prevented from collaborating, which we constructed based on the results of previous assessments. We converted…

Ishaya Gambo; Faith-Jane Abegunde; Omobola Gambo; Roseline Oluwaseun Ogundokun; Akinbowale Natheniel Babatunde; Cheng-Chi Lee – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
The current educational system relies heavily on manual grading, posing challenges such as delayed feedback and grading inaccuracies. Automated grading tools (AGTs) offer solutions but come with limitations. To address this, "GRAD-AI" is introduced, an advanced AGT that combines automation with teacher involvement for precise grading,…

Tye G. Campbell; Tracey Hodges; Sheunghyun Yeo; Erin Rich; Kaleigh Pate – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
Despite research demonstrating positive effects of writing on student achievement, writing-to-learn remains under-utilised in mathematics and mathematics teacher education. In this paper, we explore how writing-to-learn tasks in a mathematics methods course influenced elementary preservice teachers' beliefs about teaching in two domains:…

Frederic Krome – Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2024
Science fiction literature and film are an underappreciated source for the teaching of history. Finding material that can excite a student's curiosity can be a key towards greater student engagement, especially among students who are taking history as a requirement, rather than from interest. The discovery that they can read or watch science…

Miriam Jaffe; Erin Kelly; Alicia Williams; Alanna Beroiza; Mark DiGiacomo; Madhav Kafle – Teaching in Higher Education, 2024
Graduate students writing on their own often struggle with knowledge production and identity conflicts. Conversely, writing with others presents its own set of challenges, as collaborators struggle to define roles and expectations. To systematically foster and teach collaborative writing practices for graduate students, we performed a self study…

Sarah F. Small – Journal of Economic Education, 2024
The author of this article describes an exercise for introductory economics courses in which students are exposed to the breadth of economic study using JEL codes. JEL codes have historically been used to classify economic subject matter and ultimately document the ever-evolving scope of economics. This discussion assignment provides an…
