Within the growing body of literature focused on the cultural space surrounding punk music, an increasing number of scholars have examined do-it-yourself (DIY) music cultures through the lens of curriculum theory and education research more broadly. Extant research into punk pedagogy has largely failed to investigate one particular cornerstone of…

We describe a formative assessment approach called whole-class think alouds, which foster evidence-based instructional practices and promote the goal of assessment to promote learning. They allow students to collaborate and orally communicate their problem solving.

This paper is a critical systematic literature review of empirical work on creative pedagogies from 1990 to 2018. It responds to the increased international attention being afforded creativity and creative pedagogies in research, policy and practice and examines the evidence regarding creative pedagogical practices and the potential impact of…

We use a narrative framework to investigate how mathematics textbook lessons can promote sustained student inquiry. Our analysis of four high school textbook lessons on the SSA congruence property, three of which contain explorations, reveals how explorations can promote problem-solving perseverance by inspiring readers to raise mathematical…

After teaching last 10 years and analyzing student work, I realize that in developmental and Elementary Algebra courses there is a disconnection between the students conceptual understanding in context in contrast to their procedural fluency. In some cases, students can perform the procedure, but do not understand when the procedure is valid. In…

Fluency in mathematics is more than adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. It is not about speed or recall. Real fluency is about choosing strategies that are efficient, flexible, lead to accurate solutions, and are appropriate for the given situation. Developing fluency is also a matter of equity and access for all learners. The…

Instruction in an introductory programming course is typically designed to introduce new concepts and to review and integrate the more recent concepts with what was previously learned in the course. Therefore, most exam questions in an introductory programming course require students to write lines of code that contain syntactic elements…

To evaluate the teaching effect of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with lecture-based learning (LBL) compared with that of LBL alone in renal pathology education for trainees receiving standardized training. A total of 65 undergraduate medical students who received standardized training in Xijing Hospital from January 2016 to November 2019…

Research Findings: This study explores how Chinese preschool teachers' enactment of Concept Development (CD) strategies, as measured by the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS), might effectively elicit children's higher-order thinking during whole-group science teaching. Participants included 25 Chinese preschool teachers and 800 young…

Amidst a steady clamor about "learning loss" during the pandemic, a minority of educators have cautioned we must, in the words of Donna Haraway, "stay with the trouble," giving children space to grieve, explore, and make sense of a new reality. In this paper I interrogate what it means to stay with trouble and specifically call…

This study explored using video self-analysis as a practice to help teachers identify effective problem-based learning (PBL) instruction and identify areas for their professional growth. Five seventh-grade teachers in the United States who varied in age, gender, ethnicity, and years of experience video-recorded their PBL instruction. Teachers then…

Money skills are important for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to successfully live independently. A crucial first step is teaching them money identification. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of using TouchMath money (TMM) to teach middle school students with ASD to count money. A multiple probe design across…

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected student learning; according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (2022), scores for students in the United States have shown a decline in mathematics. . One way educators can strengthen students' current mathematical knowledge and bridge to new content is through Number Talks. Number Talks are brief…

Marcia Gentry personified a life well-lived. In this tribute to her work and legacy, her early ideas are highlighted. The author describes her professional experiences with Marcia during the years when Marcia was a doctoral student at the University of Connecticut. Recalling her initial motivation for a more inclusive form of identification of…
