tandfonline.com – The development of students’ evaluative expertise: enabling conditions for integrating criteria into pedagogic practice

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This paper addresses a call for teachers to promote students’ knowledge of criteria and standards within curriculum domains for self-monitoring and improvement purposes. We present the case for students to develop, as part of their learning in content areas, the evaluative knowledge and expertise of the type that teachers bring to the classroom. The aim is to reduce trial-and-error learning by introducing approaches to systematically lessen student dependence on the teacher as the sole or primary source of feedback. In making the case, we draw on a range of salient, empirical projects conducted from 2005–2016 to illustrate key ideas for embedding criteria and standards into practice using what we refer to as ‘an inquiry mindset’ for teachers and… Continue Reading

Eric.ed.gov – Enabling Learners Starts with Knowing Them: Student Attitudes, Aspiration and Anxiety towards Science and Maths Learning in an Australian Pre-University Enabling Program

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Pre-university enabling programs provide an important pathway to university for underprepared and disadvantaged students. In order to adequately prepare students for their university journey, enabling educators need to understand and respond to the evolving needs of their learners; not only their academic disparity, but also their past learning experiences and perceptions towards particular subjects. In the current study, students entering an Australian enabling program, ‘OnTrack’, were surveyed on their attitudes, emotions and aspirations towards the study of science and mathematics. Responses were associated with student perceptions of their past science and maths learning experiences. There was incongruity between student expectations of what future study would entail and the realities of their degree choices and career aspirations. This study suggests the need for social and emotional learning and… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – The Data Mine: Enabling Data Science Across the Curriculum

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Abstract In this article, we describe a large-scale living learning community for undergraduate students of any major or background. Our students are united by a desire to learn data science skills and to apply those skills in a specific academic discipline or a corporate partner project. We provide explanations of why a living learning community is beneficial; the curriculum (motivated by Nolan and Temple Lang (2010)); resources required to coordinate such a community; lessons learned from the first year at a large scale; plans for an assessment and a shared resource repository; and plans for an even more accessible, differentiated learning environment in the future.
