The aim of this study is to offer a current snapshot of flipped classroom use in postsecondary chemistry education. Data from a national survey of chemistry faculty members in the United States formed the basis of an investigation into the instructional contexts in which flipped classroom pedagogies are employed in postsecondary chemistry…

One of Africa's treasures is ethnic diversity. Urbanization, escalating migration trends, and cross-border education have increased the multicultural composition of university classrooms. Recent studies of diversity in African universities revealed underlying tensions and stereotypes amongst students, but conceptual change theories underscore the…

Multimodality describes the nature of social semiotics as including multiple modes such as speech, writing, image, gesture and sound.

In this study we conducted behavioral analyses to gain insights into patterns of user interaction in a video discussion platform, "Vialogues." Vialogues provides an asynchronous online discussion environment around video. Using a hierarchical clustering analysis on users' clickstream data, we identified four different behavior patterns:…

The purpose of this paper is to describe secondary mathematics student teachers' types of noticing while teaching. We discuss the importance of focusing on the interrelatedness of the noticing skills rather than reporting on individual skills separately. We apply the types of noticing to videos of student teachers to identify their ability to…

The research study examined the ways participants analyzed students' mathematical thinking in a massive online open course focused on teaching mathematics with technology. Across units, participants' posts showed increased attention to student thinking and less focus on issues related to technology. [For the complete proceedings, see ED606531.]

This research aimed to reveal the opinions of the university students who conducted original educational videos context for the experiments in the Biochemistry laboratory course. Participants were fourth year students (N=40) of the Mathematics and Science Education Department, in Chemistry Education Program. A case study was used and carried out…

As the intersection between theory and practice, clinical experiences are the shared home through which school and university constituents examine effective pedagogies. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our teacher preparation programs had built meaningful, face-to-face, partnership-based clinical experiences. The abrupt shift to virtual instruction…

Parent-implemented interventions (PIIs) hold promise for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families.

Three…

As multivalent concepts, projects and formations such as China's Belt and Road Initiative continue to cleave through new spaces, it is increasingly important to attend to the construction, framing, maintenance and dissemination of the sign systems that enable them. Whether or not these systems constitute forms of cultural imperialism, move across…

The purpose of this paper is to analyse barriers that a selected group of professors at the University of Barcelona faced due to the COVID-19 restrictions, their perceptions of the current situation, and the potential for long-term adoption of new teaching methods that emerged from this situation. It remains unclear whether these professors will…
