Using video-ethnographic data from a 'try-on day' in a bus-based mobile preschool, we discuss how children with different levels of experience collaborate with one another and with pedagogues to socialize newcomers into an ongoing community. Analyses show how pedagogues create moments of collective orientation and, besides through verbal…

The design studio and the associated design review can be regarded as the "signature pedagogy" of architectural education, where students garner the essence of what it means to be an architect.

This paper will describe the reflections of doctoral students as they complete their first experience of formal mentoring and examine what they discovered about the process and rigors of mentoring adults. Goals and objectives were negotiated and a formal written agreement describing trust, communication, time expectations and constraints,…

The present study examines the difficulties novice data modelers face when asked to provide a data model addressing a given problem. In order to map these difficulties and their causes, two short data modeling problems were given to 82 students who had completed an introductory course in database modeling. Both problems involve three entity sets…

This study sought to examine Turkish first-time supervisees' opinions regarding disclosure and nondisclosure in clinical supervision via a case study design. The data was collected from 19 volunteer first-time supervisees through a semi-structured interview form and analyzed with content analysis. Results indicated that supervisees' content of…

This study examines the use of evidentials in the 21 Independent Study (IS) manuscripts of EFL undergraduates across three learning contexts: onsite, online, and hybrid. The analysis reveals significant shifts in the use of evidentials, particularly during the online and hybrid phases, reflecting how these contexts influence academic writing…

This study is concerned with the first experiences of in-service mathematics teachers in consuming scholarly mathematics education literature. Growing from the meta-didactical transposition model, we were interested in the praxeologies that may develop from teachers' engagement with research articles. The data were collected from a cohort of 13…

Proponents of problem-based learning suggest that learners should solve problems that are representative of the types of issues that practitioners face. However, this is challenging because novices lack the essential experiences that inform solutions. According to case-based reasoning, one way to overcome this gap is by providing a set of cases…

This study investigated eight experienced science teachers' and eight senior high school students' metavisualization when they drew models to represent their concepts of carbon cycling.
