This paper addresses a call for submissions to provide greater clarity on the defining features of experiential learning. This is accomplished with a critical review of literature relevant to experiential learning and a qualitative-leading, mixed-method investigation exploring the defining features, canonical works, and theoretical foundations of…

Descriptions of expertise have focused on knowledge and characteristics of mathematics teacher educator (MTE) practice. To contribute to discussion of MTE expertise we share findings from a study of MTE discussion practice with prospective teachers (PTs) concerning pedagogy of teaching mathematics. Research on MTE discussion practices have shown…

For decades, researchers in our field have explored what it means to possess instructional design expertise. This systematic review provides a current synthesis of research related to cultivating expertise in instructional design coursework. A search on instructional design pedagogy and the development of expertise yielded 34 peer-reviewed…

Instructional design (ID) is a systematic process that is used to develop education and training programmes in a consistent and reliable way. A key challenge faced by educators is selecting an ID model by deciding which ID model will be more suitable in order to achieve an effective digital teaching and learning process. The objective of this…

This article considers the epistemological chain in adventure sports coaching through personal experiences of undergraduate adventure students using semi-structured interviews and qualitative thematic analysis. Findings showed many observable practices utilised by adventure sport coaches were epistemologically sophisticated. This included…

This ethnographic study investigates the teaching and learning of the design process in biomedical engineering classrooms. Through classroom fieldwork, we examine how faculty and students conceptualize and implement the design process, focusing on its linear teaching methods, the abstraction of users, and the reinforcement of expertise…

Responsive teaching is an effective teaching approach in which teachers engage and respond to students' mathematical ideas to support their mathematics learning. In this study, the relationship between preservice teachers' (PSTs) noticing expertise and their teaching moves was investigated in a simulated AI chatbot environment. The AI chatbot…

The rise of populism has sparked a debate about the role of facts in public discourse. How should higher education teachers respond? This article reviews the literature on approaches to teaching and identifies and problematises a tension between emphases on facts and thinking. It then outlines the current 'post-truth' challenge, which suggests…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Investigating and Improving Quantum Education through Research.] One of the greatest weaknesses of physics education research is the paucity of research on graduate education. While there are a growing number of investigations of graduate student degree progress and admissions, there are very few…

The purpose of this study was to observe the teaching of five early career music teachers in three early career levels (preservice, student teaching, and novice teaching) to determine if teaching expertise changes over time. A secondary purpose was to find if any specific teacher behaviors associated with effectiveness were more prominent when…

Effective environmental education (EE) is urgent as climate change and environmental degradation are proceeding. More theoretical models to enhance the effectiveness of environmental education are constantly presented, but a comprehensive view from teachers' perspectives is absent. This paper presents unique results from expert ENO Schoolnet…

In this paper, I argue that educators who embrace vulnerability in their teaching enhance their capacity to promote social justice. Vignettes from three of my course meetings with undergraduate Recreation and Leisure Service majors are presented, each of which illustrate different opportunities and pitfalls in vulnerable teaching. The first class…

Librarians and teachers encourage students to include expert perspectives in their research, but recent public discourse includes high-profile examples of experts being inconsistent or wrong, and recent studies suggest that public trust in experts is declining. Waning trust makes it difficult to teach information literacy: I can push students to…

Contribution: This article provides evidence on the influence of serious games (SGs) in software engineering (SE) education on students' scores, exam attendance, and chance of passing. It also highlights the impact of teachers' experience with the implementation of SGs as a learning approach on the aforementioned metrics. Background: Although…

The research presented in this paper aims to shed light on the complex role of mathematics teacher educators who led courses for prospective mathematics teachers. Theoretically, the research combines the documentational approach to didactics and the meta-didactical transposition frameworks, complementing the study with the analysis of the teacher…
