Although enhancing students' social and emotional learning is a central concern in curriculum-making at the policy level, little is still known about how curriculum-making in the classroom can support such outcomes. Building on interviews and observations of students and teachers in lower secondary education in Norway, this study investigates how…

This study determined the effect of Bingo game instructional strategy on Pupils' mathematics Achievements of public primary schools in Oyo state, Nigeria. One hundred and twelve public primary school grade 3 pupils participated in the study. This study adopted the pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design with a 2x3 factorial…

When assessed, treatment fidelity is most often evaluated by checklists of intervention steps after an observation session, though estimates can vary depending on how intervention steps are operationalized and rated. A more straightforward approach may involve the adoption of direct observation methods such as time sampling or event recording,…

Teaching tact and intraverbal responses based on function-feature-class to children with language delays can result in the emergence of untrained relational responses. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of compound stimuli in discriminated operants (i.e., different combinations of hear, see, touch, and taste) on the acquisition…

According to NCTM's "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics" (2000), the act of estimating is reflective of students' mathematical intuition and number sense. Students with more developed number sense are better able to judge the reasonableness of their results. To promote estimation, Jennifer Marshall explored incorporating…

It is well established that drawing upon students' Funds of Knowledge (FoK) supports powerful learning outcomes, especially for youth whose life experiences are not always valued in dominant classroom spaces. Yet, teachers can struggle to find ways to do so (Gonzalez, Moll, and Amanti 2005). In this article, the authors introduce an…

Investigating symmetric dot patterns provides opportunities for foundational mathematical learning that is not restricted to multiplication alone. Students have opportunities to learn about the properties of symmetry, about the generalization of patterns, about writing and interpreting equations--all areas of study in grades 3-5. And symmetric dot…

Over the course of 18 months, teams at the University of Chicago and Stanford University joined with other leaders across the United States and world to consider the issue of the types of mathematics used in the classroom. It quickly became clear that all students--starting from the youngest in prekindergarten to those in college--need to learn…

The study investigates the effects of Learning-By-Doing Instructional Strategy (LBDIS) and parents' education in determining secondary school students' attitude towards agricultural science. The research design adopted was a pre-test, post-test, non-randomized control group quasi-experimental design involving 2×2 factorial matrix. The sample…

This research aims to design three educational programmes based on blended learning delivery to students attending the "introduction to educational technology" course. Each programme differs in its blending proportion between traditional and e-learning. The objective is to determine the most suitable blending ratio between the two…

Research into reading difficulties in Russian has been taking place for about a century, since the 1920s. Early research established a line of studies on reading acquisition difficulties in the context of highly structured practices of teaching reading. These practices were propagated in the mid-late 19th century by Konstantin Ushinskii, who…

In the classical tradition of education that emerged from the ancient Greek paideia, there is a productive pedagogical sequence of mixed methods for virtue education. First, stories of heroes are paired with physical training. Virtue concept-learning comes next, and strategies involving imitation are adjusted as a student intellectually matures.…

In this paper, I share results of collaborative inquiry with youth and teachers into how the arts can create more relational learning spaces in the classroom. I offer a framework for relational teaching and learning through the arts guided by the questions: Who am I? Who are you? And who are we? Through these dimensions, I explore how arts-based…

Ice skating, also called figure skating, can be categorized as a lifetime fitness endeavor. Figure skating has many benefits that allow skaters opportunities to learn and understand motor skill movement and patterns on the ice. The purpose of this article is to share best practices when teaching the fundamentals of figure skating. Included in…

Current conceptualisations of feedback contend that it should be a learner-centred process. In practice, however, text-based feedback comments from teachers are a convenient and common source of feedback information, despite appearing to be contra-indicative of learner-centred models. This raises the question of how teachers can tackle the design…
