Teacher educators' distinct and dual task of educating future teachers includes using digital tools to support students' ongoing learning while exemplifying appropriate teaching strategies where the use of digital tools, such as response systems (RSs), are commonly occurring. RSs have been used in higher education for a long time, and many studies…

This article describes the Four-N-Framework for responding to readers through focused and intentional individualized dynamic formative feedback. Making ongoing informed data-driven instructional decisions and effective actionable feedback supports students' reading growth and fosters lifelong readers. This easy-to-implement process can support…

This study is developing a Deep Learning model automating the coding of drawings students provide about climate change phenomena in our world, as a learning contribution through formative assessment. We started first with ResNet50 architecture, but ultimately, we settled on MobileNetV2 reduced architecture for the sake of being able to integrate…

When analyzing instructional quality in mathematics, observational measures can consider domain-specific instructional approaches (e.g., effective teaching of mathematics) and content-focused practices (e.g., effective teaching of a specific mathematical topic). In this study, we analyze lesson videos from secondary algebra classrooms using two…

This article shares information from a research study with six high school mathematics teachers focused onthe elements that helped and/orhindered their ability to implement formative assessment practices,including learning targets, questioning, feedback,self-assessment, peer assessment, and instructional decisions in their classrooms. Although…

Empirical studies on effects of formative assessment (FA) on motivational outcomes and underlying mechanisms are scarce. The core elements of FA, feedback and adaptive teaching behavior, might be helpful in promoting the experience of competence, which in turn is a prerequisite for promoting intrinsic motivation. However, instructional impact also…

Mathematical achievement and the factors that influence students' skills to apply their knowledge and reasoning to solving real-world problems are considered a critical area of study within the PISA framework. This study presents a systematic review of the impact of teaching strategies and practices on students' mathematical achievements in PISA.…

This article examines practice-based teaching methodologies found in the studio-based design critique ('crit'), and how they can be adapted to essay-based modules in the Humanities. Based on a small case study of a masters level module on film theory at a British university, the group crit was introduced as a mode of experiential learning in order…

This research investigated teacher technological-creative fostering behaviour as determinant of teacher classroom practices in private primary schools in the Makurdi Local Government Area, Benue State, Nigeria. This study adopted the correlational research design. The population was all teachers in private primary schools in Makurdi. A sample of…

In programming problem solving activities, sometimes, students need feedback to progress in the course, being positively affected by the received feedback. This paper presents an overview of the state of the art and practice of the feedback approaches on introductory programming. To this end, we have carried out a systematic literature mapping to…

The purpose of this intervention study was to develop and evaluate a support model for teachers, designed to assist them in diagnosing students' (age 16-19 years) difficulties and providing feedback to support students' mathematical problem solving. Reporting on an iteration in a design research project, the results showed that the support helped…

Problem solving is considered an essential ability for becoming an expert in physics, and individualized feedback on the structure of problem-solving processes is a key component to support students in developing this ability. Problem-solving processes consist of multiple elements whose order forms the sequential structure of these processes.…

This chapter investigates the dual role of Generative AI (GenAI) in providing support and feedback to students and in reshaping formative and summative educational assessments, addressing both the burgeoning opportunities for enhancing teaching methodologies and the associated ethical challenges. There is a focus on the necessity for balanced…

This qualitative study explores middle school students' perceptions of effective online learning pedagogies. I draw on eight semi-structured interviews with two students, 12 interviews with teacher participants, ongoing, open-ended ethnographic interviews with students and teachers, student artifacts, and field notes from over 300 h of synchronous…

Scaffolding in learning and teacher guidance during inquiry can be attained by formative assessment, which needs to be built into every stage of inquiry. Investigation of the effects of embedded formative assessment in inquiry-based learning on students' conceptual understanding was the aim of this study. Mixed method experimental research design…
