Talent development research has uncovered common conditions for nurturing talented individuals: enriched early environment, appropriate instruction, long-term and deliberate practice, singleness of purpose, and centers of excellence. Talent research also reveals that parents play a critical role in arranging and facilitating these conditions and…

Cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and big data are four very different technologies that are already discussed separately. The use of the four technologies is required to be more and more necessary in the present day in order to make them important components in today's world technology. In this paper, the authors…

The common problems faced by most students in learning mathematics include their inability to answer problem-solving questions and low mathematical self-efficacy. Search, Solve, Create and Share (SSCS) is a teaching model that provides opportunities for students to enhance their problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. This quasi-experimental…

Although self-regulated learning (SRL) is seen as highly relevant for successful college learning, college students oftentimes show a lack in SRL abilities. Therefore, it seems necessary to foster SRL in this group of leaners. In order to evaluate such training and to foster SRL in an optimal way, a valid assessment of this competence and its…

The quest to improve teaching on a wide scale is an enduring challenge globally. Yet demonstrable improvement in teaching quality is both elusive and slow. In this essay, I explore some of the complexities that contribute to the slow pace of change, including: the slippage between teachers and teaching as the object of improvement; the poorly…

Number talks, a popular mathematics teaching routine in the United States, may offer supports for beginning teachers (BTs) to engage in ambitious instruction. BTs' enactments of number talks, however, are varied, and there are few empirical studies that explore how BTs' enactment of number talks could be more (or less) ambitious. This paper draws…

In this paper, we present the spontaneous and reasoned approaches by a Physicist (B.C.) and a Mathematician (T.B.). Section 1 is by B.C and section 2 is by T.B.

Construction management education in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain is increasingly challenged with managing limited resources while increasing instructors' teaching effectiveness and improving students' learning outcomes. To address this challenge, the authors proposed a new automated activity-on-node (AON)…

In this article the author examines and reflects about what anti-racism education can look like in a privileged suburban high school that includes mainly White students. She draws on the work of anti-racism and equity-focused authors to provide suggestions to teachers of all grade levels across multiple contexts.

Current methods to understand implicit motor sequence learning inadequately assess motor skill acquisition in daily life. Using fixed sequences in the serial reaction time task is not ideal as participants may become aware of the sequence, thereby changing the learning from implicit to explicit. Probabilistic sequences, in which stimuli are linked…

The number of students taking online courses has been increasing steadily, and a recent survey revealed that 73% of college students would like to keep taking hybrid and online courses after the pandemic. However, completion rates in online courses have been traditionally low partly because of the transactional distance between instructors and…

Limitations of assessment reporting are analyzed in order to reorient practice toward improving the equity of student success. Reporting practice is contextualized by scholarship within assessment and accreditation organizations, and the implicit assumptions driving current practice are examined. Two novel findings are presented: an assessment of…

In this thought-provoking volume, editors Rebecca M. Taylor and Ashley Floyd Kuntz invite readers to explore the many facets of on-campus ethical dilemmas and the careful, nuanced decision-making processes required to address them. Taylor and Kuntz demonstrate how to apply collaborative, multidisciplinary, philosophical inquiry to deeply complex…

Fluency in mathematics is more than adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. Real fluency involves reasoning and creativity, and it varies by the situation at hand. "Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics Teaching and Learning" offers educators the inspiration to develop a deeper understanding of procedural fluency, along with…

Virtual Instructor-Led Training combines the structure, accountability, and social learning benefits of classroom training with speed, agility, and significant cost savings. With VILTs, you can train more people in less time while realizing a much higher return on training investments than physical classroom training. It also has a significantly…
