This paper is a reflection on a co-teaching experience during the first mathematics methods course of a teacher preparation program, where a community of teachers (teacher educators and pre-service teachers) could reflect on tensions (with teacher beliefs, with practice, and with mathematics). Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) was a central tenet to the course material and required learnings, opening up opportunities to (re)negotiate those tensions with beliefs, practice, and mathematics. We employ poststructural theories, attending to the documents that participants produced as well as the thinking and reading happening simultaneously, using writing as a method of inquiry.

Undergraduate Review
The goal of the American educational system should be to teach an individual to become an independent thinker who can form his or her own view. This goal is very hard to obtain, because textbooks often provide a skewed view, but if educators make creative use of literature, students can learn to become independent thinkers. Students need to acquire this deeper understanding in order to learn critical literacy or the ability to “question, examine or […] dispute” texts (McLaughin 14). One important tool educators can use to help develop this critical capacity is literature, in particular literature about slavery. Grade …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research focuses on technology (specifically video games and interactive software games) and their effects on the cognitive development of children ages 4-8. The research will be conducted as a meta-analysis combining research and theory in order to determine if the educational approach to this age group needs to change/adapt to learners who have been affected by this technology. I will focus upon both the physical and mental aspects of their development and present a comprehensive review of current educational theory and practice. By examining current curriculum goals and cross-referencing them to research conducted in fields other than education (i.e. …

A Phonics And Whole Language Synthesis, Anne I. Allsworth
All Graduate Projects
The debate among phonics instruction and the whole language approach and the research supporting a balanced approach were examined. High utility phonics generalizations were identified from the literature. Those high utility phonics generalizations that were appropriate for the primary grades were applied to the vocabulary of a set of whole language readers. Lessons and activities were developed to integrate phonics instruction with the whole language materials for first grade students. Implications for further research and teacher training were discussed.
