In this article, the authors revisit the common practice of small-group reading instruction. They challenge the idea of grouping readers based on text levels and instead review supplemental intervention group research that suggests targeted skill practice as a more optimal use of time in small groups. They then present the ABCs--a focus on…

Purpose: This paper presents an educational virtual reality (VR) game and experiments with different methods of including it into the teaching process. The purpose of this research study is to discover if immersive VR games can be used as an effective pedagogical tool if blended with traditional lectures by assisting learning gain, memory and…

Experiential learning is an effective way to involve students in learning by doing. By using marketing simulations, a dynamic learning experience is created where students develop rich knowledge and skills. While there is strong anecdotal evidence simulations develop knowledge and that involvement in simulations is important, the empirical…

A Statistics Practicum course is offered as another option besides an internship or research experience for students to fulfill a required statistics major capstone experience. This article discusses the first and fourth offering of this practicum course, which provides a unique perspective on the initial implementation of the course and its…

Math anxiety, a lack of mathematics understanding and unproductive beliefs surrounding mathematics have the potential to cause math teaching anxiety in pre-service elementary teachers. This study sought to investigate the causes of math anxiety in pre-service elementary teachers and develop a course sequence to address those causes, thereby…

Even though phenomena, observations or experiences that appear in our lives daily, are particularly important in STEM, historically they have been a missing component in science education, which frequently focused on general content knowledge. Concentrating primarily on content knowledge does not always give students the tools to apply knowledge…

This brief is one in a series aimed at providing K-12 education decision makers and advocates with an evidence base to ground discussions about how to best serve students during and following the novel coronavirus pandemic.
