The use of testimony in teaching about the Holocaust has long been a practice, relying on resources such as memoirs, diaries, and audio recordings.

Writing is the most difficult language skill to be learned and applied by learners of Turkish as a foreign language (TFL) because their native, foreign, and target language(s) might have different linguistic properties and even alphabets. Even they may come from different language families that influence TFL learners to have syntactic, lexical,…

Pistorova, Stacey; Slutsky, Ruslan – Early Child Development and Care, 2018
Teachers face a growing call for implementing inquiry-based teaching and learning in a current pedagogical environment that contradicts this through educational practices that silo content, disseminate knowledge, and produce classrooms of passive learners. We address a hot topic in the United States on how a push for more "academics" is…

In this paper, we build on a previously developed notion of 'learning as Making' to examine mathematics thinking and learning in a highly transformative and technological Making environment: one that involves a handheld 3D printing technology which enables 3D models to be created instantly via one's moving hand. In particular, we present two…

Specifically, we propose that a disciplinary perspective…
