University educators increasingly face groups or classes of students with diverse academic levels, challenging a 'one size fits all' approach to teaching. In this article, we examine whether and how differentiated teaching, especially the concept of student readiness, can be applied to assess and respond to academic diversity, exemplified by two…

Santos, Jose Leonardo – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2020
University social science instructors sometimes encounter student silence or quarrels around culturally contentious subjects. In a culture that promotes distrust around the issues they teach, how do professors perceive and cope with such difficulties? Preliminary research using qualitative interviews with teachers from two different US…

Frank, Anna M.; Froese, Rebecca; Hof, Barbara C.; Scheffold, Maike I. E.; Schreyer, Felix; Zeller, Mathias; Rödder, Simone – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2017
The ability to conduct interdisciplinary research is crucial to address complex real-world problems that require the collaboration of different scientific fields, with global warming being a case in point. To produce integrated climate-related knowledge, climate researchers should be trained early on to work across boundaries and gain an…

Dodge, Jennifer; Holtzman, Richard; van Hulst, Merlijn; Yanow, Dvora – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2016
The "interpretive turn" has gained traction as a research approach in recent decades in the empirical social sciences.

This question was…

Marx's critique of capitalism remains foundational to the university social science curriculum yet little is known about how instructors teach Marx. In post-industrial, service-oriented economies, students are also increasingly disconnected from the conditions of industrial capitalism that animate Marx's analysis. Inspired by the discussion of how…
