Many individuals worldwide retire financially unprepared. The most evident factor for low retirement savings is due to a lack of retirement planning, especially from an early age. Financial literacy is a key element in navigating the current complex financial landscape, as it enables the individual to effectively manage personal finances and make…

Decades of research demonstrate that adaptive teaching enhances student literacy achievement. We conducted a study to investigate occurrences of adaptive teaching and the reflection process of one expert teacher during literacy instruction. We observed lessons using the Adaptive Teaching Observation Protocol (ATOP) and interviewed the teacher…

This book brings together contributions from prominent researchers investigating the changes in teaching, learning, and assessment with and beyond generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). These chapters represent a variety of research themes and approaches, offering insights into how GenAI is adopted in different educational practices,…

While the field of music education is rife with participation in methodological debates around "best systems" for learning about pitch, the authors in this article explore the possibilities of learner-centered approaches to teaching pitch among students with diverse music backgrounds. Specifically, the article highlights several…

The uneven ways in which climate change is taught (or not) within schools, and the uneven opportunities for students to experience justice-oriented climate education, are curricular injustices. Recent systematic reviews of Climate Change Education literature note a depoliticising tendency in climate change education, with official curriculum…

A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) was established to help STEM faculty integrate entrepreneurially minded learning (EML), a pedagogy that develops curiosity, connections, and value creation, into a new engineering undergraduate program during the pandemic. Guided by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) framework, the FLC…

This study investigates the potential of using ChatGPT as a teachable agent to support students' learning through teaching, specifically in programming education. While learning by teaching (LBT) is an effective pedagogical strategy, traditional teachable agents often struggle with facilitating dynamic, dialogue-based interactions. Our research…

Deepening education reform and innovation, and cultivating students' innovative abilities are considered essential development directions of AR technology. However, whether AR technology can effectively improve students' innovation abilities remains a topic of debate, as different studies have reported significant discrepancies in their findings.…

The mechanistic approach to teaching introductory-level organic chemistry--Organic One and Two (Organic I and II) in the United States--continues to predominate since its introduction through Morrison and Boyd's legendary textbook. In this approach, reactions are taught alongside their electron-pushing mechanisms (EPMs), thereby providing students…

This discussion-based article provides secondary English Language Arts teachers with strategies using cognitive load theory (Sweller, 1988) by encouraging the use of picture books in the classroom to reduce cognitive load and scaffold literary analysis. Framed as a research-to-practice piece, the article begins by describing the challenge teachers…

This article explores the importance of teaching students with learning disabilities to be prompt engineers. With the development, release, and global implementation of large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini), artificial intelligence (AI) tools are becoming more dynamic and capable of providing feedback and support to students. This article…

The authors have worked with teachers to explore how to develop their ability to attend to students' mathematical thinking in ways that matter, an ability they call "teacher noticing." In doing so, the authors have found that attending to students' thinking can also support the development of more equitable classrooms where all students…

This book traces the transnational history of blind education and tactile literacy in East Asia from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, revealing how Braille traveled, transformed, and took root across linguistic and cultural frontiers. Through detailed case studies from China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, it explores how teachers,…

Background: Although substantial empirical evidence supports interteaching, few studies have investigated the clarifying lecture component, and none have evaluated it in an online course format. Objective: This study evaluated the necessity of a clarifying lecture in an asynchronous online course and compared a clarifying lecture (based on student…
