Michiel van Oudheusden; Tessa Roedema; Willemine Willems – Ethnography and Education, 2025
In this article, we reflect on our experiences with teaching ethnographic skills and sensibilities to MSc students at a Dutch university. Using methods such as (self)observation, journaling and reflection, we highlight dilemmas (conceptual, practical, ethical) faced by students when doing ethnographic fieldwork and dilemmas that emerged in…

Sean P. Connors – English Journal, 2025
We live in what a growing number of scientists call the Anthropocene. Combining the Greek root word anthrop- (human) and the suffix -cene (new or recent), the Anthropocene is a period of time in which human activity is understood to have grown so impactful as to alter Earth's conditions. Examples of these planetary changes include (but are not…

Mjege Kinyota – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
The role of scientific reasoning in promoting scientific literacy during the early years of schooling is well acknowledged. Using the analytical framework for scientific reasoning skills by A. Opitz et al. (2017, "Educational Research and Evaluation," 23(3-4), 78-101), this multi-age observational study investigated the extent of…

Estela A. Vallejo-Vargas – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
Examples play a variety of roles in proving and disproving. Buchbinder and Zaslavsky (2019) have produced an a priori mathematical framework for assessing students' understanding of the role of examples when proving and disproving universal and existential statements. In this paper, I highlight three important aspects that suggest an extension of…

Sikutegemea Kikomelo; Jesline Gowele; Hawa Mofi – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2025
Curricula in different countries emphasize that teachers implement problem-based learning (PBL) practices to develop students with problem-solving skills and enhance their academic performance. However, several studies have revealed that academic performance among students, particularly in mathematics, is low, particularly in Tanzania. Using a…

María Burgos; Nicolás Tizón-Escamilla; Jorhan Chaverri – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2025
The invention of problems is a fundamental competence that enhances the didactic-mathematical knowledge of mathematics teachers and therefore should be an objective in teacher training plans. In this paper, we revise different proposals for categorizing problem-creation activities and propose a theoretical model for problem posing that, based on…

Carly Moser; Meghan M. Burke; Leann Smith DaWalt; Julie Lounds Taylor – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2025
Parent advocacy is important for the transition outcomes of autistic youth. However, it is unclear whether parent advocacy efforts support or stifle youths' self-determination. This study examined concurrent (n = 180) and longitudinal (n = 134) associations between parent advocacy and transition-aged autistic youths' self-determination (as…

Liping Guo; Sarah Miller; Wenjie Zhou; Zhipeng Wei; Junjie Ren; Xinyu Huang; Xin Xing; Howard White; Kehu Yang – Campbell Systematic Reviews, 2025
Background: A systematic review is a type of literature review that uses rigorous methods to synthesize evidence from multiple studies on a specific topic. It is widely used in academia, including medical and social science research. Social science is an academic discipline that focuses on human behaviour and society. However, consensus regarding…

Armélinda Agnello; Jean-François Focant – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Student engagement in evidence-based argumentation plays a central role in science education. These skills can be developed when identifying organic molecules from the spectroscopic data. Molecular structural analysis fosters deep procedural knowledge, as it involves (i) flexibly applying a set of procedures to extract information from spectra,…

Hyojoon Kim; Sangwoo Ha – Research in Science Education, 2025
This study explores the ontological perspective in analyzing students' problem-solving related to mechanical energy conservation. The research involves 18 high school students whose explanations were qualitatively analyzed using an extended ontological framework. Initially, students predominantly employed matter-based predicates and…

Ken O'Connor; Matt Townsley – Phi Delta Kappan, 2025
Decisions about assessment are often built on myths about teacher professional judgment and subjectivity that prioritize standardized assessment over classroom assessment. Ken O'Connor and Matt Townsley discuss some of the most common myths and explain how to dispel them by developing clear guidelines in which teachers can exercise their judgment,…

Glory Tobiason; Adrienne Lavine – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2025
Current methods for evaluating faculty teaching fall short, and one way to address this is through campus-wide initiatives that focus on change at the level of academic units. The complex context of higher education makes meaningful teaching evaluation difficult; in particular, four sobering realities of this context must be taken into account in…

Murillo-Gonzalez, Gabriel; Burkholder, Eric W. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Back-of-the-envelope (BOTE) calculations require the use of estimations and approximations. They are used by expert physicists to simplify complex problems to obtain quick and approximate solutions. Though BOTE calculations are routine for experts in physics, they are not well defined in academic literature. In this study we interviewed 9…

Soneira, Carlos – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
In this article, we examine how 10th graders make use of different intertwined representations when solving algebraic word problems. It is structured in a quantitative phase, with 61 students and a subsequent follow-up case study with nine pairs of students. We found that drawings and tables, used as auxiliary representations within variants of…

Polotskaia, Elena; Fellus, Olga O.; Cavalcante, Alexandre; Savard, Annie – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
The transition from arithmetic to algebra in middle school can be critical for students having persistent difficulties in mathematics. The leading perception in our project is that holistic relational thinking is an effective problem-solving tool in both arithmetic and algebra. We worked in collaboration with two teachers of special classes to…
