Problem-Based Learning And The Training Of Secondary Social Studies Teachers: A Case Study Of Candidate Perceptions During Their Field Experience, Charles T. Wynn Sr., William Okie

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

We present results of a case study in which we analyzed the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) and cognitive scaffolding techniques introduced in our secondary social studies methods course on the perceptions and practices of 12 preservice teachers (PSTs) during their fall practicum and spring student teaching. Our PSTs reported teaching 54 PBL lessons and identified factors that encouraged their use of PBL: methods course PBL experiences; improved student exam scores and writing skills, increased engagement; and improved collaborative, deliberative, and cognitive skills. Discouraging factors included the time and effort to plan PBL lessons, coverage demands, and standardized testing. Findings …

Self-Regulated Learning As A Critical Attribute For Successful Teaching And Learning, Darren H. Iwamoto, Jace Hargis, Richard Bordner, Pomaika'inani Chandler

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

The purpose of this scholarship of teaching and learning was to define and assess the level of self-regulation skills undergraduate students possess. Participants completed the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Through the analysis of the MSLQ, students reported having high expectations for themselves. Yet, students were found to not use cognitive learning skills and self-regulation practices consistently, which suggests a low level of self-regulation. Subsequently, students exhibit maladaptive and counterproductive behaviors like procrastination and disengagement. From this exploratory study a number of future studies were identified that have the potential for increasing the level of self-regulation in higher education.

Peer-Reviewed Exploration In Teaching: A Program For Stimulating And Recognizing Innovations In Teaching, Rahul Simha, Raluca Teodorescu

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

In an academic world driven by student ratings and publication counts, faculty members are discouraged from exploring new pedagogical ideas because exploration takes time and often goes unrecognized. The contrast with research is striking: everyone is expected to explore and innovate in research, whereas very few make exploration in teaching their norm. This paper presents a case study illustrating a program, the Peer-Reviewed Exploration in Teaching (PRET) program, designed to encourage and recognize faculty when they implement teaching innovations. The program provides feedback during all stages of a teaching innovation, including outside-classroom activities, and incorporates a rigorous peer review process …

Title: Learning Styles Terminology: What Is The Researcher Talking About?, Warren W. Lake, William E. Boyd, Wendy Boyd

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

When a researcher encounters the term ‘learning styles’, its meaning, rather than being explicitly obvious, is dependent on the tradition and therefore the context from which the term has originated. For a new researcher, in particular, it can be a confusing and potentially time consuming process to correctly identify the differences the terminology. Importantly, it has been recognized that different researchers may use the same term, yet may not be referring to the same concept, as is particularly the case with the term ‘learning style’. The confusion generated by the use of similar yet unrelated terminologies from different research traditions …

Shaping Our Literate Lives: Examining The Role Of Literacy Experiences In Shaping Positive Literacy Identities Of Doctoral Students, Christy M. Howard, Melissa Adams-Budde, Joy Myers, Grant Jolliff

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which literacy histories and present literacy experiences of doctoral students shaped their literacy identities. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and visual identity representations. This paper focuses on the literacy stories of two doctoral students with positive literacy identities. Findings suggest that participants valued literacy as a social learning experience from an early age through higher education. These social experiences with reading and writing can take many forms and can be embraced in various home and school contexts. Additionally, these findings highlight the need for schools to create and …

The Role Of Student Major In Grade Perception In Chemistry Courses, Andrew Karatjas, Jeffrey Webb

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

The Kruger-Dunning effect was studied as it related to performance in chemistry courses based on student differences in academic background. Student major was chosen as the classification to look at the effect of students with different interests/specializations. Chemistry majors tended to predict lower performance than biology majors, while unexpectedly many non-natural science majors predicted higher examination scores than those majoring in the physical sciences.

Technical Drafting And Mental Visualization In Interior Architecture Education, Ali Riza Arslan, Sibel Seda Dazkir

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

We explored how beginning-level interior architecture students develop skills to create mental visualizations of three-dimensional objects and environments, how they develop their technical drawing skills, and whether or not physical and computer generated models aid this design process. We used interviews and observations to collect data. The findings provide an insight on what kind of difficulties students experience during their learning process and how they overcome those difficulties. The results of the study indicate that the students’ lack of skills in technical drawing and in creating 2D and 3D mental visualizations negatively influenced their design process. Using the existing body …
