We describe mathematics classroom teaching practice in an urban Canadian prairie Cree-bilingual school using the term "Cree mathematizing," which, to us, means (re)considering Euro-Western school mathematics from the perspectives of the Cree people engaging with the content. "Cree mathematizing" takes the form of classroom…

This paper draws on a longitudinal qualitative study exploring the influence of the social class identities of novice teachers on their emerging teacher identities. The paper focuses on the ways in which, even at an implicit level, many novice teachers appear to recognise that their own (or perceptions of their own) class identity and the…

Due to the character of programming languages, reading ability may have more impact on learning to program than on learning in other subjects.

Historically, multicultural counselor education has taken a groups approach to educating students about cultural differences.

Overwhelming popularity of Facebook as a social network site (SNS), especially among students, has shown growing interests of using it as a tool for education in and out of the classroom.

Children with language disorders have particular difficulty with verbs, but when this difficulty emerges is unknown.

This study aims at disentangling the effects of status generalization and social identity processes on ability perceptions among early adolescents. Double standards theory predicts that people use different standards for making inferences about others' abilities based on social status. Social identity processes, however, imply that people evaluate…
