This paper focuses on reflection in learning mathematical practices. While there is a long history of research on reflection in mathematics, it has focused primarily on the development of conceptual understanding. Building on notion of learning as participation in social practices, this paper broadens the theory of reflection in mathematics…

When a person looks back at critical career moments in higher education either as a student, teacher, or staff member, they likely recall people who went out of their way to provide advice when they were unsure or uneasy. This article reaches out to those who are considering becoming a mentors. It provides guidance for beginning a mentoring…

Reflective supervision and consultation (RS/C) is often defined as a "relationship for learning"(Fenichel, 1992, p.9). As such, measurement tools should include the perspective of each participant in the supervisory relationship when assessing RS/C fidelity, delivery quality, and the supervisee's experience. The Reflective Supervision…

Students' social and emotional well-being can impact academic performance, the college planning process, transition to college life, and college retention. Many students have had their mental health and well-being negatively affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, especially within the educational setting. When instruction was shifted from…

For corrective feedback (CF) to contribute to second language (L2) development, some cognitive processes need to be completed. Learners need to notice and comprehend the CF, reflect on and deeply process it, and finally integrate it into their interlanguage (Gass, 1997). Written languaging (WL), which requires learners to explicitly explain to…

In this paper, we examine the enactment of culturally relevant education in an urban early childhood setting in the US. This descriptive case study used a sociocultural framework that emphasizes the relationship between structure and agency. The research question that guided the study was: How does an urban, non-profit early childhood educational…

Reading critically in a foreign language (FL) is a fundamental skill which requires readers to go beyond literal comprehension of the texts and adopt an analytical perspective. Nevertheless, critical stance in FL reading is a newer territory and teachers' understanding and implementation of critical reading (CR) practices is crucial. Based on this…

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of global competence, agility, empathy, and innovation in managing opportunities, crises, and problems. Global learning and engagement in higher education is the pathway towards developing learners' intercultural competence, fostering an appreciation of diversity, inclusion, and equity, and…

We describe lessons learned from one-and-a-half decades of global virtual immersion practices in subsistence marketplaces, and explore implications for international business teaching and learning in the post-pandemic world. Global virtual immersion refers to bottom-up learning experiences, typically in contexts much different than what we may be…

This study explored two teacher educators' understanding of multilingualism and a change in their perception from monolingual native speakerism to multilingualism. Through exchanging the narrative about learning to be a professional and being a teacher educator in ESL and EFL settings, they deepened their understanding of multilingualism and…

This study investigates prospective secondary school mathematics teachers' developing conceptions about the meaning of derivative (as rate of change) while working on a series of tasks involving different non-motion real-life contexts. The study was conducted by employing a case study method. The participants of the study were 25 prospective…

The current study implements digital connectivism theory within an English language teaching (ELT) program-- specifically for pre-service teachers--in order to evaluate teachers' ability to generate teaching activities with Bloom's taxonomy. Connectivism theory emphasizes the principle of connecting students in a network of cognitive processes…

Since its first appearance in the 1970s, the concept of 'metacognition' has received much scholarly attention. This study aims to examine metacognition as a process related to second language (L2) writing, and presents an attempt to teach metacognitive strategies to students to understand their effectiveness in developing writing skill. A blended…

If we admit that students must be prepared for life and work in increasingly culturally-diverse and ever changing contexts through core curricula which are the competences that must be prioritized? What competences are 'strong candidates' to be considered as trans-regional and can lead to inclusive excellence in higher education? Does, this,…

In this paper, I draw upon salient literature and collective discussions to map a conceptual framework that focuses on foundational understandings and practices needed to prepare majority white preservice teachers for educating the nation's increasingly diverse student population. The presentation of framework in this piece reflects enhancements…
