Multimodal Assessment In Action: What We Really Value In New Media Texts, Kathleen M. Baldwin
Multimodal Assessment In Action: What We Really Value In New Media Texts, Kathleen M. Baldwin
Doctoral Dissertations

Contemplative Practices And Learning: A Holistic Approach To Education In Bhutan, Yang Gyeltshen
Doctoral Dissertations
This study examines the comments, behavior, and products of young student monks, who are exposed to an integrated curriculum of contemplative practices and secular lessons, about whether and how they bring their social-emotional learning from the contemplative practices to bear when learning secular functional skills and knowledge. At the beginning of my self-study, I hypothesized that an integrated curriculum of secular learning combined with contemplative practices would result in deeper learning, based on the research and literature on the connection between affective and cognitive learning. My findings support and do not negate previous research that an integrated curriculum, integrating contemplative …

Synergy Between Digital And Traditional Literacy Practices: A Framework For Building A Reading Culture In A Secondary School, Nina Kositsky

What kind of social environments …
