Abilities to interpret, analyze, and report data are in-demand job skills that many colleges and universities struggle to incorporate into the curriculum. The client-based project outlined in this study examines the experiential learning pedagogy used to teach students media analytics. This semester-long project encourages students to complete a…

Educational researchers have offered a number of different measures to explore the use of equity pedagogies. Such measures traditionally use teacher self-report as the primary metric and few investigate from the student perspective. This exploratory psychometric article details the use of a new instrument, the Asset-Based Equity Pedagogy Scale…

Can a "nudge" toward engaging, fun, and useful material improve student attitudes toward statistics? We report on the results of a randomized study to assess the effect of a "nudge" delivered via a weekly E-mail digest on the attitudes of students enrolled in a large introductory statistics course taught in both flipped and…

The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine the differences between high- and low-performing students' development of fraction proficiency over a school year and to investigate how those differences were related to instruction in fractions versus instruction in other mathematics topics. The data for this study were drawn from a group of (n =…

Instructors often encounter challenges in the implementation of evidence-based teaching practices in large-enrollment STEM courses. A novel Instructional-Teams Model (I-TM) seeks to address some of these challenges with the support of student assistants in specialized roles. I-TM roles focus on supporting course and classroom management…

Long-standing criteria for Common Reads (CR) programs recognize the value of diversity in the book selection process. This study, examining 1,801 books chosen over a four-year period (2017-20), explored the extent to which these programs have embodied this spirit. In particular, this work focused on the diversity of the books (through genre and…

The dual pandemics of social unrest and COVID-19 during the summer of 2020 in the United States has produced a renewed sense of urgency and agency for the interrogation of curriculum in K-12 education and the development of culturally sustaining practices. This urgency has encouraged more teacher preparation programs and middle school leaders to…

This article uses a quasi-spiritual lens to examine why some teachers feel compelled to inappropriately control student writing. For almost half a century, professionals in composition studies have engaged in vigorous conversations about the problem of teachers co-opting, correcting, and rewriting (essentially appropriating) student texts as part…

The theoretical framework and conceptual framework help to determine the purpose of scientific research, facilitate the analysis of data, organize the thoughts of researchers, increase the reliability of research, and ensure that research is shared in a wide area. Although these two concepts seem to be basically the same, they have structural…

Using data from a qualitative case study examining how lynching is taught in schools near historic lynching sites, this article examines how lynching photographs were used or not used in the teaching of lynching. Using a pedagogy of witnessing as the analytic tool this article argues that lynching photographs were used in one of three ways:…

This study aimed to investigating the impact of project-based learning strategy on action research skills of Jordanian basic school students in light of some variables while teaching the unite of "Water". Semi-experimental design was used on a sample of 9th grade female students distributed in experimental group of (40) and a control…

Proof by mathematical induction poses a persistent challenge for students enrolled in proofs-based mathematics courses. Prior research indicates a number of related factors that contribute to the challenge, and suggests fruitful instructional approaches to support students in meeting that challenge. In particular, researchers have suggested…

The application of digital games in higher education is on the rise in engineering. With the recent COVID-19 restrictions and the move to virtual learning, the interest in and the need for virtual laboratories and technology-enhanced experiential learning tools like digital games are expected to rise. This paper presents a review of the current…

Questions about the social and moral importance of empathy have garnered much debate in recent years. On the one hand, critics of empathy have pointed out its susceptibility to morally troubling biases and group preferences. On the other hand, proponents of empathy maintain that empathy is a motivated response that can be trained and developed to…

A main goal of academic courses is to help students acquire knowledge and skills that they can transfer to multiple contexts. In this article, we (i) examine students' responses to test question templates (TQTs), a framework intended to facilitate transfer, and (ii) determine whether similar transfer-promoting strategies are commonly embedded in…
