In this literature review on the dynamics of intersubjectivity in primary and secondary education, we summarise and examine articles published in the last 10 years. This concept is considered relevant in education, in particular to enhance different types of collaborative learning situations. The articles were selected from several databases, all…

Simulations are increasingly common pedagogical tools in political science and international relations courses. This article develops a classroom simulation that aims to facilitate students' theoretical understanding of the topic of war and peace in international relations, and accomplishes this by incorporating important theoretical concepts…

Assessing student learning is a cornerstone of educational practice. Standardized assessments have played a significant role in the development of instruction, curricula, and educational spaces in college physics. However, the use of these assessments to evaluate student learning is only productive if they continue to align with our learning…

In 2012 Senate File 2284 approved competency-based education (CBE). In 2013 House File 215 provided $100,000 to be used as grants to districts/schools participating in a collaborative effort toward CBE pathways for their students and a framework toward statewide implementation. The Iowa CBE Collaborative will engage in collaborative inquiry to…

This research focused on addressing high attrition rate of Latino students at U.S. post-secondary institutions. National data reports that Hispanics hold the lowest degree completion rate (16%) of post-secondary degrees (NCES, 2015). The study was guided by Clark and Estes (2008) analytic framework, which required the validation of knowledge,…

This dissertation examines how John Dewey's philosophy of knowledge might be used to consider the aims of contemporary educational technologies.

The last 12 months have been inspiring as government has made postsecondary education and skills training more accessible and…

In an increasingly connected world, a higher demand exists for global (citizenship) education in all disciplines, including mathematics. Although researchers in "Teaching Mathematics for Social Justice" (TMfSJ) have not ignored the need for a critical use of mathematics in society and culture, a primary goal of this work is to promote…

The ubiquity of touchscreen, mobile tablet technology has resulted in a plethora of "apps for learning" yet few leverage the learning sciences as a design driver. This paper describes our approach to integrating the learning sciences with best practices in app design: a design framework that involves researchers and developers in a…

Progress monitoring in inclusive preschool classrooms should describe all children's progress towards general curriculum outcomes and individual children's unique outcomes or IEP goals. This research study used the Children's School Success+ Curriculum Framework (CSS+ Curriculum Framework) and progress monitoring process to assess the outcomes of…

Although science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) study paths and STEM work fields may be relatively difficult and therefore not appropriate for everyone, too many children prematurely exclude STEM-related study and work options, based on negative images of the field or negative ability beliefs. In the present article, we provide an…

This study has a dual focus: to assess the practice and effectiveness of education through the examination of research findings, empirical data, methodological implications, and theological integration, and to understand the concept and model of education within the social science framework, explicitly addressing the areas of need in educational…

This community-partnered participatory study explores the outcomes of adult alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) users who qualified for special education under autism and/or intellectual disability.
