Research on mathematics learner identity often relies on interview data and presents case studies of individuals. This method allows an in-depth understanding of the person and their relationship with mathematics, but fails to generate a larger picture of identity with more breadth. In this paper we propose a method that blurs the boundaries of…

Although peer feedback has been proposed as an instructional strategy for cultivating critical thinking, high-quality peer feedback is difficult to obtain. Regulation scripts are a promising scaffold for this activity. Besides, few previous studies have explored the dynamic relationship between feedback content and critical thinking. Therefore,…

Practicum periods are an essential part of early childhood education and care (ECEC) teacher training. To support a student's learning, they need supervision by an expert ECEC teacher to process and analyse information, and supervisory discussions are key forums for that. The aim of this study is to examine the cultural scripts that are…

Yet, most of the previous work on creative self-concept takes a domain-general perspective, telling us little about whether domain-specific interventions or activities can build people's creative self-perception.
