This brief piece has two purposes: to reflect on the argument in "What's the Problem Now?" (Bass, 2020) in light of the events of the past two years and to give that essay's core argument--that the problem of learning in higher education is a wicked problem--a more practical grounding for how it can shape the work of educational…

Teachers should be connected to, not alienated from, the philosophical underpinnings of their work. Teachers who understand themselves to be philosophers of education, and who see their work as both practical "and" philosophical in nature, may be empowered with an additional foundational and theoretical "tool" to use both in…

The COVID-19 crisis has put the question of the political uses of science back at the centre of public debates. In the last few years, the focus on using scientific knowledge in parliamentary technology assessment (PTA) institutions has predominantly been to the advantage of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In contrast, our…

The concept of "student engagement" is widely discussed in academic libraries, but has not been thoroughly examined from a conceptual and theoretical perspective by scholars in the Library and Information Science (LIS) field. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative research project on student engagement in academic libraries.…

Senate Bill (SB) 1882 partnerships, codified into Texas state law in 2017, are the latest iteration of portfolio management models (PMMs) in elementary and secondary education. PMMs aim to overhaul the current governance structure of public education, granting autonomy over critical areas of school operations to school operators, while using the…

In this article, we investigated how a class engaged in whole-class discussions of modeling solutions, across two different types of modeling tasks: a Model Eliciting Activity (MEA) and a Three-Act Task. We analyzed whole-class discourse as small groups presented and responded to each other's solutions to a MEA and a Three-Act Task. We have also…

Informed by Kolb's experiential learning theory and Baxter Magolda's holistic theory of student development, this qualitative study explores the experiences of graduate students in a supervised internship. From an analysis of written assignments completed during the internship experience, our findings reveal abundant meaning-making opportunities…

The vast and rapidly growing amount of science education research makes it challenging for researchers to navigate and synthesize developments across the field, particularly concerning broad concepts evolving along divergent paths. To address this issue, a novel review methodology employing bibliometrics and network analysis was tested to identify…

Background: Our interdisciplinary team initiated a project to inform the COVID-19 vaccination programme. We developed a novel research co-creation approach to share emerging findings with government. Aims and objectives: We critically assess the 'Functional Dialogue' (FD) programme for future research translation practices in time-limited…

There are two divergent perspectives about how best to understand and serve students with disabilities: Traditional Special Education and Disability Studies in Education. These fields represent distinct epistemological, theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical ways of understanding education for students with disabilities. Researchers,…

This article discusses the author's experiences teaching an undergraduate course, Graphic Narrative in the Hispanic World, in order to share some strategies to help students recognize how the study of comics and other humanities disciplines can help them develop crucial skills for their success and career readiness. The article first outlines the…

Although there is a push to provide more student agency in science classrooms, teachers and students may become frustrated when inquiry activities and equipment do not work as planned--teachers because of the time crunch to "cover" topics and students because of the perceived lack of value in activities that are "off task." In…

Outlining a process approach, this book offers a theoretical and pedagogical framework for how to teach user experience (UX) from a technical and professional communication (TPC) perspective. Recognizing that pedagogy is local to an institution, context, and community, the collection includes teaching cases and stories that demonstrate how…

Effective research in educational settings requires collaboration between researchers and school-based practitioners to codesign instruction and assessment, analyze findings to inform subsequent iterations, and make thoughtful revisions. This innovative reference and course text examines the theory and practice of design-based research (DBR), an…

A philosophy of academic advising remains a critical conversation within academic advising scholarship. A comprehensive philosophy of academic advising holds significant impact on the future of advising practice and scholarship. Dr. Lowenstein's contributions to the integrative-learning paradigm have substantially furthered the discussion, but…
