Tamera Musiowsky-Borneman and C. Y. Arnold have developed a way to bring a minimalist mindset to the classroom and shed the burden of too many initiatives, strategies, and "things" in general. Their Triple P process helps teachers declutter in three steps: identify something's "purpose," "prioritize" what is…

This theoretical paper examines views about the role of language and mathematical discourse in learning mathematics. Current research is still addressing what constitutes a mathematical discourse. As new conceptions of the purpose of language use in mathematics are explored, and associated ontological and epistemic positions are revealed, one…

"Lobby Activism: Feminism(s) + Art Education is" the scholarly examination of a decade (2008-2018) of feminist activism by 45 contributors. This anthology provides both a history of the annual lobby activism events of the National Art Education Association Women's Caucus (NAEA WC) and of the resulting pathways toward eradicating gender…

This qualitative teacher -- research study investigates how secondary students in English classes might use art materials and the construction of abstract artworks to explore, develop, and express their responses to and interpretations of literary works. The study was guided by the following research questions: 1. What happens when students are…

Drawing on the work of Eleanor Duckworth, this volume examines Critical Exploration in the Classroom (CEC)--a "learning-teaching research" practice that positions teachers as researchers of their students' sense-making and learners as theorizers and investigators. By integrating CEC into their teacher education classrooms, chapter…

The focus of this dissertation is on students' thinking regarding the function concept in the context of abstract algebra, focusing on the properties of well- and everywhere-definedness. This dissertation follows a three-paper format, where each paper has a different yet related focus. In the first paper, I analyze (non-)examples found in…

For decades, many countries have kept refugees in settlements separated from local populations, making 'integration' a chimera. More recently, however, governments and international organizations have advocated for greater refugee integration and framed education as key to this process. For adult refugees, education in the place of asylum often…

The paper describes an implementation of research done over several years, by me and in some cases others, at Stanford University and elsewhere. The implementation comprised the design, building, testing, and marketing of a digital educational technology platform to provide a supplementary tool for explorative mathematics learning and assessment.

Beyond simply being a form of active learning, experiential learning, in its many iterations, has been promoted as a philosophy, a community development model, a theory, a professional skill training opportunity, a global education and civic development approach, and a pedagogical strategy that leads to deep, high impact learning. Indeed,…

Recent studies have indicated that gamification, the process of using game-like elements in nongame situations, increases student engagement and comprehension. The problem was that little is known about the extent to which digital elements of gamification are being used to help engage students in high school classes in Alaska. The purpose of this…

We tested a specific theoretical assumption of a learning trajectories (LTs) approach to curriculum and teaching in the domain of early length measurement. Participating kindergartners (n = 189) were assigned to one of three conditions: LT, reverse-order (REV), or business-as-usual (BAU). LT and REV students received one-on-one instruction using…

This research aims to analyse whether the increasing use of case-based learning (CBL) by madrasa aliyah teachers in Indonesia improves their teaching skills in the field of education. This study employed a quasi-experimental technique and data from a CBL intervention programme to investigate how CBL is connected with teachers' hybrid teaching…

Although combining case study teaching with group learning is a popular approach for teaching business courses, pedagogical challenges arise, particularly in undergraduate classes. To address these challenges, we developed an instructional innovation called the Team-Based Learning and Evaluation (TaBLE) Case Method, which increased student…

This practice example explores the inquiry-based relationship for students between case teaching and international competitions in Marketing. This work is based on the premise that undergraduate Marketing students in a College of Business should experience learning through and about inquiry and enhance their research literacy as a result. Although…

High school math projects center on solving real-world examples in a wide variety of situations that require a creative skill set. Creativity in high school mathematics takes place in a subtle form. In contrast, creativity presents itself conspicuously in art. Therefore, this paper will explore the utilization of polynomial equations in drawing…
