Not all students in early grades develop efficient strategies for solving subtraction tasks. In this paper, we examine subtraction teaching in the 1--20 number range. We analyzed two first-grade lessons addressing similar subtraction tasks, using variation theory to identify what aspects of the content were foregrounded in the teaching. The…

Many occupational therapy students, particularly first-generation students, face significant academic and social challenges in higher education that affect their self-regulated learning (SRL). SRL involves goal setting, self-monitoring, strategy implementation, and reflection. The rigorous academic demands, combined with the unique challenges…

Since the establishment of the "Journal of Political Science Education" (JPSE) in 2004, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning has become more rigorous and data-based, thanks in large part to the efforts of editors, peer-reviewers, and submitters to the journal. Where does the field go from here? I argue that our greatest strengths lie…

Geometry education is an important aspect of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, but it is often overlooked in K-12 education in the United States. Chunking strategy reduces the cognitive load demanded in the processing of information, and it has been applied as a testing accommodation for high school students with…

The advent of generative AI has caused both excitement and anxiety among educators. Some school systems have gone so far as to ban it altogether. Generative AI has the potential to transform human learning; but like any new technology, it has both strengths and weaknesses, and adopting it involves some risks. There are risks that generative AI…

This systematic literature review examines the use of networked learning strategies and tools in supporting active learning in fully online higher education classrooms since the COVID-19 pandemic. With the increasing adoption of online and blended learning, there is a growing need to understand how networked learning can facilitate engagement,…

This study focused on improving students' learning mathematical of proofs and proving by using combinations of proof strategies that span different levels of understanding of proof structure; we refer to these as 'level-spanning proof-production strategies'. We analysed the level-specific proof-production strategies evident in the lessons and…

This study identified appropriate pedagogy for computational thinking in K-12 computer education. The Delphi technique was employed to collect different views, ideas and opinions derived a consensus from a panel of 12 international experts through a series of questionnaires. The experts have various experiences in computer science, computer…

If students are to pursue the mathematical strategies they devise, teachers must be able to notice these strategies in-the-moment, attending to what a student did and interpreting what they understand. Otherwise, teachers might urge students to pursue a different approach. Novice teachers may find it particularly challenging to notice strategies…

Teachers focused on prevention of academic problems should apply procedures that enhance learning speed, or learning as a function of the time that the learner spends engaged in the intervention(s). Although few researchers evaluate or compare academic interventions using precise measures of learning speed, several strategies for modifying…

In a local school district, sixth- through eighth-grade students were reading and performing on reading tests below grade level, and teachers started using strategies to promote self-regulated learning (SRL) in their classrooms. However, students continued to struggle with reading comprehension when asked to read independently. The purpose of this…

This paper studies learners' emotion awareness in university level academic contexts as a first step to help learners regulate their emotions. Existing emotion awareness tools offer little information on learners' emotions and their antecedents. This study created an emotion-reporting grid for university students based on the emotions they…

Students who have problems comprehending textual material tend to experience failing grades, peer rejection, and even social isolation. Furthermore, students with poor reading comprehension demonstrate poor academic performance in all subjects, not due to difficulty in learning specific subject content (i.e., math, history, etc.), but rather their…

Education systems around the world closed schools to cope with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this current mixed-method study, 181 schoolteachers completed online questionnaires to characterize the pedagogical strategies which they used during Emergency Remote Learning Environment (ERLE) in May 2020. In addition, we conducted…

Statistics connected to the national workforce demand for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduates, and the apparent shortage of these graduates is staggering. Internet data reveal that by 2020 there will be 1.4 million computer-science-related jobs and only about 400,000 computer science graduates who have the skills…
