tandfonline.com – Connections of Evidence: Using Best Practices of Assessment in an Ongoing Serials Analysis Project

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Making decisions about continuing or cancelling serials subscriptions is a difficult process under the best of circumstances. In these situations, academic librarians can borrow from assessment practices in terms of gathering data, examining emergent patterns, comparing quantitative research and qualitative feedback, closing the loop by making changes, and then preparing to re-evaluate these changes. This article addresses a case study from an academic library at a state university in the midwestern United States as a model of best assessment practices for determining the future of print and online periodical subscriptions. The result is an updated, refocused serials collection that supports learning and research outcomes. Link til kilde

sciencedirect.com – Using collaborative self-study and rhizomatics to explore the ongoing nature of becoming teacher educators

sciencedirect.com har udgivet: Highlights • Rhizomatics and self-study of teacher education practices produced non-linear insights on becoming teacher educators. • Teacher educators were becoming collaborative, accountable, and innovative. • Collaborative self-study of teacher education practices supported intra-departmental professional learning. Abstract The purpose of this research was to explore how we were becoming teacher educators as we built and engaged in relationships through collaborative teaching and research practice. By engaging with collaborative self-study as methodology-pedagogy and rhizomatics, our data pertaining to teaching-research (i.e., group and pair meetings, reflective diaries) highlight how collaborative self-study produced evolving and meaningful practices, learning, and relationships that resulted in our becoming collaborative, committed, and innovative teacher educators. This study demonstrates the potential of using collaborative self-study together with relational and non-linear frameworks such as rhizomatics to… Continue Reading
