This paper explores the literacy experiences of migrant job seekers in the United Kingdom, looking online for work, adding to other studies on the topic. Using ethnographic methods, video data, images and field notes were gathered on visits to three research sites to observe job seekers and helpers of varied ages and educational and linguistic…

Employing the concepts of transnational funds of knowledge and community practice, this ethnographic case study examines the experiences of preservice world language teachers in a year-long teaching methods course. It focuses on an online after-school program where preservice teachers taught languages and cultures to children from linguistically…

In an urban elementary school serving predominantly White and Latinx students, the second-grade teachers created an assignment that asked students to share how their families migrated to the United States. The mother of a Black student met with the teacher to discuss her discomfort with the assignment given that their family descended from…

This Case Study is based on original research motivated by the lack of literature discussing national and international consensus to develop entrustable professional activities for dermatology doctoral learners. We aimed to collect experts' opinions to reach a consensus on activities expected from doctoral dermatology learners as a primary…

Facilitating productive mathematical discussions is considered a core practice of mathematics education. The complexity of this teaching practice presents the need for pedagogical tools to provide structure for preservice teachers (PST) developing their practice, yet little is known about "how" PSTs use these tools. This multiple case…

In 2002, the Swedish National Food Agency and researchers from Stockholm University made an announcement regarding the presence of acrylamide in carbohydrate-rich foods that are exposed to high temperatures, with cereals, potatoes, and coffee possibly being the most significant sources of ingestion. Although limited data are available on assessing…

Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) project was to develop an activity to address paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH), a sequela of traumatic and acquired brain injury (TBI/ABI), and evaluate pre-/post-activity knowledge and comfort levels. Participants were also asked to approximate intent to change future practice and…

"Elevating clinical practice in mathematics education" has potential to greatly transform the preparation of effective mathematics teachers. In the current climate of education, clinical practice includes: (1) traditional undergraduates in an educator preparation program, (2) post-baccalaureate individuals who have a degree in another…

Activism is becoming more pervasive within academia. Within this paper, we analyse different types of academic activism, focused on the effect these acts will have when enacted by a lecturer. First, a framework is created based on the concept of academic freedom, both in the form of Lerhfreiheit and Lernfreiheit. Second, a scale is suggested,…

As part of an action research study, an activity-oriented professional development (PD) program incorporating video was established to provide kindergarten teachers with guidance on…

Research into mathematics education at university level includes a wide range of theoretical approaches. This poses considerable challenges to researchers in terms of understanding and harmonizing the compatibility and commensurability of those approaches. The research community has already problematised and studied these challenges using…

Effective collaboration and the development of collective efficacy are understood to have considerable influence on students' learning, with research showing that the presence of collective efficacy among educators is the strategy with the most potential to positively affect student achievement. Yet this strategy is rarely found implemented in…

This qualitative multi-case research study explored the experiences of pre-service teachers learning phonics and phonemic awareness (PPA) in a literacy methods course. Data were collected from pre- and post-test scores, literacy life maps, semi-structured interviews, and course questionnaires. Findings suggest pre-service teachers with limited…

This book presents the selected papers of the 5th International Conference on Advance in Education and Information Technology (AEIT 2024), which was held in Nagoya, Japan, 2024 January 5-7. With a worldwide increase in technology-enhanced learning in school and industry settings, there has been a progressive increase in the implementation of new…

This article explores an intellectual disconnection in architectural education about the conception of wood as a building material. It explores initiatives to develop in future architects a deeper consciousness of the complex ecology of timber, promoting its sustainable use in the building industry. It explores six case studies drawn from…
