Direct linkBarany, Michael J. – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2020
Histories of mathematical practice account for mathematical knowledge and action by interpreting presently-available evidence as traces of the events, contexts, and relations that make up the past. Interpretations depend on the assumptions one makes about how mathematical knowledge works, insofar as it is knowledge and insofar as it is…

Individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and otherwise nonstraight and/or non-cisgender (LGBTQ+) have often not felt welcome or represented in the biology community. Additionally, biology can present unique challenges for LGBTQ+ students because of the relationship between certain biology topics and their LGBTQ+…

This guidance report focuses on the teaching of mathematics to pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive guide to mathematics teaching. We have made recommendations where there are research findings that schools can use to make a significant difference to pupils' learning, and have focused on the questions that…

Gauvain, Mary; Beebe, Heidi; Zhao, Shuheng – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2011
Cognitive development is a cultural process. More experienced cultural members and the practices, institutions, and artifacts of the culture provide support and guidance for children as they develop knowledge and thinking skills. In this article, the authors describe the value that is added to our understanding of cognitive development when…

Kress, Tricia M. – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2011
Critical theory and critical research are undeniably useful for revealing oppressive social structures and challenging the status quo in the realm of grand theory; yet, they are also useful for creating knowledge structures when academics deploy them on the ground. This article explores how critical theory and critical research can be used to…

Chenail, Ronald J.; Cooper, Robin; Desir, Charlene – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2010
Reviewing literature in qualitative research can be challenging in terms of why, when, where, and how we should access third-party sources in our work, especially for novice qualitative researchers. As a pragmatic solution, we suggest qualitative researchers utilize research literature in four functional ways: (a) define the phenomenon in…

Peer reviewedFinley, Fred N. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984
Describes a technique that can be used to construct variables from clinical interviews that can be used in quantitative analyses. The technique involves the representation of each proposition a student uses in terms of a standard set of underlying predicates, concepts, and relationships among concepts. (JN)

Driscoll, Marcy P.; Tessmer, Martin – Educational Technology, 1985
Discusses development of rational set generator--an overall method for creating a rational set of examples to teach concepts and evaluate student knowledge levels--which combines formulas for creating examples measuring discrimination and generalization. Also discussed are results of a study to test the efficacy of a rational set generator. (MBR)

Peer reviewedAstley, W. Graham – Administrative Science Quarterly, 1985
Administrative scientists superimpose analytic frameworks on their observations when trying to make knowledge meaningful. The generation of knowledge should be seen as an essentially interpretive and subjective activity. An awareness of this fact may encourage a view of scientific progress that is reinforced by the social context in which research…

Allix, Nicholas; Gronn, Peter – Educational Management Administration & Leadership, 2005
Despite a long history and considerable study, leadership remains a notoriously perplexing and enigmatic phenomenon. Although the "new leadership" perspective has revived convictions and general interest in leadership studies, conceptual and methodological problems nevertheless remain a feature of the research and theory-building terrain, and some…

Wright, Robert J.; Stanger, Garry; Stafford, Ann K.; Martland, Jim – Paul Chapman Publishing, 2006
This book sets out a constructivist, inquiry-based approach to instruction. The approach builds on clear understandings of children's current levels of knowledge, where their learning should progress to, and the means by which children learn early numeracy topics. The methods presented in this book have been used extensively by practitioners in…
