Cogliano, MeganClaire; Bernacki, Matthew L.; Hilpert, Jonathan C.; Strong, Christy L. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
We investigated the effects of a learning analytics-driven prediction modeling platform and a brief digital self-regulated learning skill training program targeted to support undergraduate biology students identified as likely to perform poorly in the course. A prediction model comprising prior knowledge scores and learning management system log…

Hubbard, Katharine E.; Dunbar, Sonja D.; Peasland, Emma L.; Poon, Jacquelyne; Solly, Jeremy E. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2022
Reading primary research literature is an essential skill for scientists. However, the high complexity of research papers may pose a barrier to the development of scientific literacy. In semi-structured interviews, we explore how 33 biologists including undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers approach reading an unfamiliar scientific paper.…

Wellmanns, Andrea; Schmiemann, Philipp – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Feedback loop reasoning is an essential part of systems thinking, which includes the analysis and description of system behaviour and regulative measures. In feedback loops, every change can simultaneously represent a cause and an effect. Research on reasoning in feedback loops is limited to investigating students' existing mental models. This…

Brady, Corey E.; Borromeo Ferri, Rita; Lesh, Richard A. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2022
Mathematical modeling is a challenging and creative process. If one considers only interim or final solutions to modeling problems or interviews modelers afterward, often only their "explicit" models are accessible -- those expressed in work products or evinced in verbal and written reflections. The inner world of tacit knowledge and its…

Conway, Patrick Filipe – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2022
This article synthesizes literatures relating to the fields of andragogy and prison education. It is a key moment to reflect on teaching practices inside carceral settings. As Pell Grant availability for incarcerated students is set to expand dramatically, many college and university faculty are soon likely to be entering prisons as instructors…

Emily Lyons; Almaz Mesghina; Lindsey E. Richland – Grantee Submission, 2022
Gender gaps in mathematics achievement persist in many contexts and when visible, these gaps are paradoxical. Low-stakes measures of mathematics achievement such as grades and study behaviors favor girls, while gaps tend to reverse on assessments/ competitions. We explore whether different impacts of raising performance stakes could be one…

Henderson, Peter; Hodgen, Jeremy; Foster, Colin; Kuchemann, Dietmar – Education Endowment Foundation, 2022
This guidance report focuses on improving the quality of teaching of mathematics to pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3. The decision to focus on these Key Stages was made after an initial consultation period with teachers, academics, and other stakeholders. Schools are seeking advice on adjusting to a new curriculum, and there is also concern about…

Ayse Nur Kart – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Hearing loss adversely affects language and literacy development and reading difficulties of deaf and hard of hearing (d/Dhh) students are well documented by a large body of research. Effective instructional strategies that employ evidence-based strategies to support the reading development of d/Dhh students are required. Therefore, the purpose of…

Pounder, Paul A.; Pounder, Tracy R. – Journal of Teaching in International Business, 2018
The purpose of this article is to consider an approach to teaching entrepreneurial finance using proverbs. It explores a process framework with teaching strategies that provides prescribed guidelines on the key aspects that assist in teaching using this approach. This article demonstrates that teaching with proverbs creates the construct for…

Bazalgette, Cary – Film Education Journal, 2018
Taking issue with Bergala's dismissal of students' prior learning, disdain for popular culture and implicit preference for film education as a secondary school subject, this paper argues for the importance of studying children's earliest encounters with both films and television (summarized as 'movies'). The research described here was based on…

Vasily, Andy; Fletcher, Tim; Gleddie, Doug; Chróinín, Déirdre Ní – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this research was to use an actor-oriented perspective to analyze one teacher's implementation of the Meaningful Physical Education approach in one Grade 5 classroom in Saudi Arabia. Method: A single case study design was used, with the case being defined as Andy and his teaching of a cycling unit to one Grade 5 class. Data…

Pollock, Jane E.; Tolone, Laura J.; Nunnally, Gary S. – Educational Leadership, 2021
Innovative teaching means the teacher is the creator, but unfortunately it does not necessarily mean the same for the students. Innovation is not just "doing" something new; it is "thinking" of new ways to improve a product, a method, or an idea. How can educators teach students to become better innovators themselves? This…

Güven, Ebru Gençtürk – International Education Studies, 2021
The study aims to determine the "Geography Literacy" levels of senior year pre-service teachers. To do so, the correlations between geo-literacy on the one hand, and the program the student is enrolled in, the type of settlement the student lived in during secondary education, the type of high school the student graduated from, the…

Alagumalai, Sivakumar; Buchdahl, Nicholas – Australian Journal of Education, 2021
Recent studies reiterate the importance of mathematical literacy and the identification of skills, knowledge and cognitive processes which contribute to composite test scores to facilitate targeted remediation and extension activities. To this end, the current article examines data from the 2012 cycle of the Programme for International Student…
