Scholarly inquiry into teaching and learning in higher education has long been undertaken through a wide array of theoretical and methodological approaches. This article offers a novel theoretical framework for reconceptualizing and analyzing teaching and learning processes as textual acts. Drawing on Roland Barthes's concept of the writerly text,…

Play-based teaching and learning approaches are recognised as enabling teachers to interact with children and support learning in a relaxed environment to promote children's holistic development. Recent studies increasingly emphasise that teachers' engagement can promote children's opportunities to learn through play. This article presents results…

Over the past numerous years, the training structure is applying outdated strategies that keep schools from moving to competency-based models. Since most of the parts are instructor-oriented, the students are the detached party in the classroom which prompts less communication between students and the instructor. Augmented Reality (AR) is an…

In an Introduction to Digital Practices course, university students were unable to apply their newfound software program knowledge to design intricate art projects. A digital guide called a Tool Lab was created so that students could be pre-introduced to the tools and functionality of targeted software programs. Designed with the concepts of…

In Early Childhood Education (ECE) stage there are different models of classroom organization and different teaching methodologies. The scientific literature highlights from no planning models to more organized styles. The relationship analysis between these two assumptions is a key. To investigate this starting point, it is proposed an…

Multiple representations can enhance students' understanding of mathematical concepts and complex information but can also pose well-documented challenges for students. Whereas instructional designs have been optimized to support students' "learning" with multiple representations, little is known about supportive "teaching"…

Communication skills require students to be able to manage, understand, develop, and create orally and in writing. Teaching methods that generally use conventional models of learning activities that are not formed in groups cause students' science communication skills to be lacking, so learning activities are more teacher-centered. This learning…

This study was intended to determine the effect of interaction, self-regulation and course structure on student satisfaction through social presence. This research adopted a quantitative research approach. The sample of this study consisted of 187 higher education students of Economics Education in "Universitas Negeri Semarang" based on…

The construction of scientific explanations is recognised by science education researchers and curriculum developers as one of the core epistemic practices in which students should acquire proficiency. However, little is known about the knowledge and skills that teachers must and do put into practice to successfully engage their students in…

Graduate students in STEM fields undertook a 9-month training program focusing on practice-based development of active teaching methods. As instructors of record in their own senior-level courses, these trainees were observed on their independently designed classroom sessions using the COPUS classroom observation tool. Compared to a large sample…

Teaching in contemporary schools raises complex questions about how to engage meaningfully with diversity. Working within already politicized and fast-changing sociocultural landscapes, the diversity that teachers are required to navigate can no longer be accounted for by pre-existing categorizations. New qualities of difference are continually…

This article examines how teachers at one elementary school made sense of their instructional practice after their school adopted a personalized learning platform for teaching mathematics. Data includes interviews (n = 21) with 12 teachers and administrators as well as recordings of 18 hours of professional learning sessions. The study…

The researcher adapted the Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC) as a tool to observe a series of reading learning in the lower grades with the aim of evaluating the classroom interactions and knowing the implications for students' reading abilities in Public Elementary School (SDN) 012 Langkanae, Palopo City. Using a qualitative…

In this paper, we introduce a new interpretive framework, which we call Bodymarking, to aid in describing and interpreting activity (e.g., individuals' gestures, gaze, and interaction with materials in the environment) in the classroom. We apply the framework to video recordings of mathematics lessons to explain how it can be used and offer some…

This study addresses suggestions for analyzing science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components and their interactions and these suggestions are expected to facilitate the analysis of science teachers' PCK, resulting in more accurate representations of PCK. Knowledge of the science curriculum, knowledge of students' understanding…
