Teaira McMurtry – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
America's strength lies in its inherent diversity--an enduring truth that makes the Eurocentric nature of our educational curricula troubling. Despite this foundational reality, curricular materials remain predominantly Eurocentric, often excluding authentic representation and inclusion of Black/African American experiences in children's and young…

Brydges, Ryan; Fiume, Andrea; Grierson, Lawrence – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2022
Background: Invention and mastery learning approaches differ in their foundational educational paradigms, proposed mechanisms of learning, and potential impacts on learning outcomes. They also differ in their resource requirements. We explored the relative effects of 'invent and problem-solve, followed by instruction' (PS-I) learning compared to…

Velasco, Juan; Buteler, Laura; Briozzo, Carlos; Coleoni, Enrique – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Coordination class theory has proven to be a useful theoretical framework for describing processes of conceptual change in certain physical and mathematical concepts. Its development throughout different studies has allowed us to understand numerous mechanisms of conceptual learning by individual subjects. There have been attempts to implement…

Jørnø, Rasmus Leth; Andersen, Bjarke Lindsø; Gundersen, Peter – Nordic Journal of Studies in Educational Policy, 2022
In this theoretical paper, we argue that Tech enthusiasts and skeptics are animated by the same sociotechnical personalization imaginary to improve education and teaching through personalization, but see very different paths to this goal. Tech boosters point to well-known problems of the existing education system -- and rhetorically ask: 'why…
