In this article, we analysed the collaborative use of tablets (iPads) in a third-grade primary classroom in Norway where the pupils created fairy tales. The pupils worked in groups of five and shared an iPad in their group. We observed and recorded the story's development, which lasted a week, using video recordings and field notes. We explored…

Self-regulated learning has a positive effect on academic outcomes; however, little is known about whether and how teachers at various education levels promote it in their classes. Video-based classroom observations were conducted to assess primary and secondary school mathematics teachers' direct and indirect promotion of self-regulated learning…

In this exploratory case study, we consider how students in an undergraduate biochemistry class engaged in the process of argumentation within an inquiry-oriented learning environment to investigate a chemical mechanism in a particular part of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Audio/video recordings of student groups during the mechanism discussion…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine, through an intersectional lens, how digital video composing can be an act of redistributive social justice for students with learning disabilities. Design/methodology/approach: The authors draw on two years' worth of observation, interview, survey and digital video data to present a case study of…

A qualitative study of three parents and their toddlers with autism was conducted to investigate the communicative functions underlying parent-toddler interactions and how the instrumental or social nature of one partner's actions influenced the other's engagement. Parent-child interaction videos collected from a separate intervention study were…

The Teaching Statistics Through Data Investigations professional development course is a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) designed to strengthen participants' ability to use a statistical investigation cycle to teach statistics and help students explore data using technology tools and make evidence-based claims. The case of interest for this…

In this study, the author used the Flipped Classroom (FC) approach in one Mandarin teaching module with three types of self-produced videos as pre-class learning material. These videos covered grammar rules, usage of vocabulary, and explanation of texts. The paper first briefly explains the rationale of using such teaching videos. To investigate…

The use of video for teacher learning is a useful tool to support reflection and self-analysis. Video records have been successful in supporting teachers in learning to notice student thinking, a strong component in instructional expertise. The use of video provides permanent records of classroom lessons that can be viewed repeatedly (Sherin,…

Many studies have been conducted focusing on the use of virtual simulators in training in various scenarios, ranging from life and threats to situations in recreational activities. This study follows the direction of the discussion on the use of some virtual simulators that can be successfully exploited in the activities of training of drivers…

Mathematically speaking, a "difference" is the result of a subtraction. However, when the number domain is extended from natural numbers to integers, the separation of the magnitude of a number from its value creates "different differences," where the connection to subtraction is no longer straightforward. Based on…

Although the work of teaching is often considered universally straightforward, professional classroom teaching requires more than a teacher's ability to complete a task; making students' ideas central to classroom discussions is crucial to student learning. The ability to engage students in classroom discussions focused on student ideas is not…

Purpose: English education researchers have used video annotation to connect theory to practice and to encourage prospective secondary English teachers (PSETs) to reflectively evaluate their own and others' teaching. This study aimed to examine whether and how PSETs' annotations of their own and others' teaching videos reveal (dis)connections…

The disappointing employment outcomes of students with intellectual disability (ID) can often be exacerbated by the social-related challenges they experience. Within high school transition programs, interventions targeting employment-related social behaviors and inclusive practices should emphasize individualization, self-regulation, and…

Context: Improving teacher quality and granting every student equal access to high-quality instruction have been a shared goal of many parents, educators, and policy makers for decades. In practice, teacher qualification measures (e.g. teacher degree, years of experience etc.) are often used as proxies of teacher quality. However, Shulman (1986)…

There is growing interest in improving and assessing teachers' use of culturally responsive practices (CRP) in the classroom, yet relatively few research-based approaches exist to address these measurement gaps. This article presents findings on the psychometric properties of a newly developed classroom observation measure of CRP, called the CARES…
