This article looks at an interdisciplinary college movement and mathematics course from the perspectives of one of its co-creators and a mathematics education researcher. It suggests deep, embodied use of choreographic problem solving can form an effective path to mathematics learning through (a) conceptual overlap between mathematics and dance,…

Few studies connect teachers' intentionality with children's writing in play-based contexts. Thus, the goal of this study (n = 5) was to examine how the use of stations and intentional teaching encouraged writing in two preschool classrooms. Interviews with the preschool director and classroom teachers as well as observations of the children…

This discussion explored the integration of creative thinking pedagogy and the anthropological theory of didactics in university-level algebra education, emphasizing the importance of understanding the perspectives of both learners and teachers. The work began by highlighting the necessity of considering these viewpoints to create effective and…

The purpose of this preliminary pilot study is to identify how imaginative teaching methods and low-technology prototyping promote social-emotional (SE) skills development in elementary school students. Particularly, two are the objectives of the study, firstly to test the research designs feasibility and validate the research tools and secondly,…

Utilising globalisation theory, the purpose of this paper is to present our experiences and learnings as an instructor and doctoral students from an innovative doctoral pedagogies class involving international scholars and curricular contexts.

Thinking, Doing, Talking Science (TDTS) is a programme that aims to make science lessons in primary schools more practical, creative and challenging. Teachers are trained in a repertoire of strategies that aim to encourage pupils to use higher order thinking skills. For example, pupils are posed 'Big Questions,' such as 'How do you know that the…

Promoting creativity in schools involves the development of characteristics such as self-motivation, confidence, curiosity and flexibility. It can be argued that the development of the first three of these probably relies on the last, all of which need to be supported by a "flexible learning context." However, this cannot work without a…
