In this paper we develop a case for introducing a new teaching tool to undergraduate mathematics. Lean is an interactive theorem prover that instantly checks the correctness of every step and provides immediate feedback. Teaching with Lean might present a challenge, in that students must write their proofs in a formal way using a specific syntax.…

This study tested for the emergence of listener discriminations and intraverbal vocal responses following tact training with four autistic children. All participants were trained to tact the name and the favorite food of two contrived cartoon monsters in the presence of a picture of the monster (e.g., "What is the name of this monster?"…

Given the profound social implications of climate change, this subject is increasingly important for a broad range of sociology classes. Sociology instructors who address the subject of climate change face a dilemma. Presenting too grim of a portrait risks fostering psychological distress and withdrawal from action to address climate change,…

Background: Providing feedback in massive open online courses (MOOCs) is challenging due to the massiveness and heterogeneity of learners' population. Learning analytics (LA) solutions aim at scaling up feedback interventions and supporting instructors in this endeavour. Paper Objectives: This paper focuses on instructor-led feedback mediated by…

This paper reports on university students' responses to an inverse proportion question. The authors conclude that inverse proportion is a difficult concept that requires constant reinforcement, using approaches to teaching that facilitate deeper conceptual understanding.

One of the most challenging aspects of teaching anatomy and physiology is using teaching tools that enhance active learning and keep students actively engaged during the lecture courses. This study explored the use of a student response system that was easy to use, cost-efficient, and re-usable for multiple anatomy and physiology courses. More…

Despite extensive research and applications of sight-reading instruction in Western countries, little is known about how sight-reading is perceived and taught in China. This paper bridges this gap by exploring the perceptions and teaching strategies of nine lecturers from six Chinese universities. Classroom observations, semi-structured…

With the rapid advancement of digital learning technologies, interactive e-books have emerged as a pivotal tool in technology-enhanced education, particularly for promoting active learning. However, existing research on learning engagement has inadequately addressed the integrated effects of emotional, behavioral, and cognitive dimensions on…

Effective feedback improves grades, quality of work, and student perceptions regarding the quality of the feedback they receive. Recent feedback scholarship indicates that despite students' appreciation of quality feedback, they seldom use it. A shift in focus toward feedback engagement has resulted in several narrative reviews on the topic, each…

Example-based learning is a well-known instructional method for effective cognitive skill acquisition in complex domains. "(Contrasting) erroneous examples" are a promising extension that embed errors in instructional material, potentially fostering not only positive but negative knowledge. However, the mechanisms and conditions for…

Continuous revision policies provide sizable benefits to students, though one previously unexplored avenue of research is how such policies can help students develop a growth mindset. For the purposes of this article, a "continuous revision policy" is one in which students can revise their work on a rolling basis up until a predetermined…

This study explores variations in prospective teachers' (PTs') noticing of students' mathematical thinking based on narrative writing within the context of a practicum course. The research involved eight PTs, each of whom produced ten weekly narratives throughout the course duration. Most PTs displayed noticing abilities within the average range,…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare and shows considerable promise for the delivery of medical education. This systematic review provides a comprehensive analysis of the global situation, effects, and challenges associated with applying AI at the different stages of medical education. This review followed the PRISMA guidelines,…

This study explored the relationship between K-8 teachers' current usage and engagement of curriculum and instructional practices, assessment practices, and feedback practices through the implementation of standards-based grading practices. The theoretical works of Bobbitt (1924), Bloom (1956), and Sadler (1989) framed this study. A digital survey…

This multiple case study describes error-reaction patterns (ERPs) in middle school science lessons. Twenty-seven science teachers' reactions to student errors were explored in terms of four aspects of classroom discourse: talk move, discursive purpose, communicative approach, and patterns of interaction. Two hundred ninety-six error-reaction…
