This article describes an innovative process in which teacher educators engaged in collaborative reflection and analysis of multimodal assessments. Through an organically designed method termed structured autoethnographic vignette analysis, six teacher educators across the United States investigated their use of multimodal assessments in their…

The article analyzes the pedagogical views, and the practice of implementing them through the experience of the Ukrainian-Russian social and religious reformer, Nikolay Neplyuev (1851-1908). His social experiments were a unique attempt at solving the social and economic problems of the peasant classes within the Russian Empire by means of…

The environment is a global issue that must be addressed in a variety of ways, including education. Environmental topics will be included into mathematics, which is allowed to boost students' awareness of environmental concerns. This is a qualitative study conducted in a qualitative technique. The objectives of this study were to (1) describe…

Self-diagnosis activities require students to self-diagnose their solutions to problems they solved on their own by detecting and explaining their errors. Worked examples, a step-by-step demonstration of how to solve a problem, are often used to support students in self-diagnosis activities. However, studies indicate that students often fail to…

Contribution: This study explores employers, university teaching staff, and student perceptions of the importance of the generic skills of information and communication technology (ICT) graduates. Background: The generic skills mastery of ICT graduates has been an important topic for many years and it still is nowadays, especially in the context…

This case presents how the leadership team and faculty of a small, independent school used design thinking to respond to a competitive marketplace and desire for enrollment growth in the middle grades. The new middle school head came in with a mandate for substantial change and sought to engage all stakeholders in a process of redesign and program…

This study is aimed to investigate the effectiveness of problem-based learning combined with simulation on students' problem-solving and creative thinking skills. By employing a quasi-experimental design, this study used essay and problem-based tests as the instruments to evaluate problem-solving and creative thinking skills of 192 students. These…

Recently, computational thinking (CT) has attracted much research attention, especially within primary and secondary education settings. However, incorporating in mathematics or other disciplines is not a straightforward process and introduces many challenges concerning the way disciplines are organised and taught in school.

Recent scholarship around teaching elementary mathematics supports the learning of early algebra with 5- to 12-year olds. However, in spite of the recognition of the affordances of early algebra, issues about how to introduce it remain open. Within this context, Davydov's work is often cited as a source of impressive demonstration of young…

Today's learners are engaging in study where access to knowledge is easier than it ever has been in human history. Rapid advancement of technology and the increasing ease with which communication and interaction can occur has dramatically changed the landscape in which teachers of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) operate.…
