Easter, Jaclyn; Hollister, Erin; Wilcox, Jesse – Science and Children, 2019
Although science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) initiatives have received increased attention in recent years (Bybee 2011), the focus is often on science and mathematics (Thornburg 2009). Yet, engineering has been referred to as "the glue that holds the other STEM subjects together" (Thornburg 2009). With the release of…

Lee, Scott; Thomas, Joshua; Cooley, Max; Irving, Richard – Physics Teacher, 2021
Exciting examples of physics principles illuminate the power and scope of our discipline. In this paper, we discuss a conservation of energy example for an introductory course. Energy conservation is applied to bird and dinosaur eggs to derive a method to predict the incubation period and the embryonic metabolism solely from the egg geometry. The…

Soja, Constance M. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2018
In an introductory geology course on vertebrate fossils, a new object-based classroom exercise was designed to enhance students' appreciation for evidence of evolution as a "tinkering" process, specifically in modern organisms with which everyone is familiar. During the dissection of a popular college late-night snack (barbeque-style…

Birds, Rachel – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2012
Conversations with colleagues across the sector suggest that the use of mentoring as an organisational development tool in higher education (HE) is increasing. In an era where universities are constantly urged to do more with less, it offers a potential means of using the institution's own staff to train and support each other, thus maximising the…

Ackerman, Rakefet – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Solving problems in educational settings, as in daily-life scenarios, involves constantly assessing one's own confidence in each considered solution. Metacognitive research has exposed cues that may bias confidence judgments (e.g., familiarity with question terms). Typically, metacognitive research methodologies require examining misleading cues…

Windsor, Sally; Sanders, Dawn – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2023
There is little room left for doubt or even debate at the severity of the ecological, indeed planetary crises that we find ourselves in during this period coined the Anthropocene. As educators working in the face of these crises, we have asked ourselves the question 'how do we carry on?' We reflect on a set of sensory, multimodal, meditative and…

VerBruggen, Robert – Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, 2022
When students are admitted through admissions preferences--especially when the preferences are large and the students pursue demanding fields of study--do they benefit from going to a more selective school? Or, instead, do they suffer from being "mismatched" with their peers--falling behind, becoming frustrated, receiving low grades, and…

Poole, Gary; Iqbal, Isabeau; Verwoord, Roselynn – International Journal for Academic Development, 2019
Current research indicates that instructors find support for their teaching via membership in small social networks. The present study was conducted to further our understanding of these networks by looking specifically at the perceptions network members hold of each other in terms of similarity of beliefs and the value of their interactions.…

Malone, Karen; Logan, Marianne; Siegel, Lisa; Regalado, Julie; Wade-Leeuwen, Bronwen – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2020
Drawing on a posthuman lens we walk -- with Deborah Bird Rose and her conceptual framing of "shimmer." We explore shimmering as incorporating a sensorial richness, as beauty and grandeur, as constantly in flux, moving between past, future and back again. Shimmering has potentiality in a posthuman context in its encompassing of spiritual…

Jung, Hoyong – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2018
Policymakers around the world search for an optimal school schedule to enhance student's academic achievement. In this paper, I examine the effect of the 9 o'clock attendance policy on student's academic performance in South Korea. I find little evidence that delaying the school schedule positively affects pupil's performance when I control for an…

Bird, Michael – Teaching History, 2022
Michael Bird has a longstanding interest in the power of classroom dialogue, not only as a means of eliciting students' prior knowledge or checking their understanding of new ideas and information, but also as a powerful tool for generating new knowledge through a collective process of meaning-making. In this article, he first uses two extracts of…

Hummel, Eberhard; Fancovicová, Jana; Randler, Christoph; Ozel, Murat; Usak, Muhammet; Medina-Jerez, William; Prokop, Pavol – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2015
Birds are one of the most important species that can help protect biodiversity. Although birds are important beings for biodiversity and human existence, there is a relatively less quantity of research that has investigated the interest in and attitudes toward birds. This study aims to investigate the knowledge level of and attitudes toward birds…
