Evaluating a design studio course is a complex issue due to its practice-based, rich, and vague nature. This is an attempt to uncover this complex issue from students' viewpoints as they are the owners of learning processes. Based on a student evaluation template, we particularly focused on nine dimensions of a design studio course, which are…

In the precalculus curriculum, logistic growth generally appears in either a discrete or continuous setting.

The three…

In a General, Organic, and Biological (GOB) Chemistry course designed for allied-health disciplines, new information builds on previous material. It is important for students to retain what they learn throughout the course and be able to integrate the material not only with material from other bioscience courses but also with the metabolism…

While adolescent foundational skills interventions can be critical levers for reading improvement, district leaders, teachers, and researchers must make complex decisions about how to evaluate their effectiveness in context. In this discussion article, we explore three issues and tensions we experienced during a 2-year research-practice…

The "Evaluating and Improving Teacher Preparation Programs" consensus report provides critical, evidence-based recommendations for teacher preparation program (TPP) evaluation and improvement and the systemic changes necessary to improve teaching as a profession. The report documents the extensive research that supports four groups of…
