The purpose of this heuristic methodology study was to develop a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) heuristic evaluation. The heuristic utilizes online learning design evaluation frameworks, as well as user experience (UX) heuristic evaluation processes to create an instrument that best evaluates online on-demand modules. This study follows the design of the heuristic, with data collected from literature and online instruments. The results found that developing a UDL heuristic evaluation focused on the first two levels of the UDL framework, which included access and build. These two provided criteria that are specific to design choices that do not require an …


Innovating With In-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Professional Development: The Intersection Among Mixed-Reality Simulations, Approximation-Of-Practice, And Technology-Acceptance, Jair J. Aguilar, Seokmin Kang Jan 2023

In-service teachers must be provided with high-quality professional development (PD) opportunities that not only effectively improves and develops their skills, but also engage, and motivate them to continue growing. In this project, we studied in-service teachers’ perceptions, opinions, and mindset toward the use of mixed-reality simulations (MRS) as a potential tool for PD to advance and enhance their pedagogical knowledge for mathematics. We followed a convergent parallel mixed-method approach with 49 in-service teachers who were exposed to a series of simulations sessions. We found evidence that the use and integration of technologies like MRS as a tool for PD is …


Resistant Traditions Of The Rio Grande Valley, Aztlan, Raul Garza, Gricelda Eufracio, James C. Jupp Jan 2023

Resistant Traditions Of The Rio Grande Valley, Aztlan, Raul Garza, Gricelda Eufracio, James C. Jupp

Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications

Our pedagogical essay emerges from three members of the Aztlan Study Group, a study group dedicated to mutual support in learning, teaching, and research as related to the critical study of the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) and, more broadly, Aztlan. Our essay sketches resistant, transnational, and translanguaging traditions of the RGV and conjugates them with our in situ notion of critical curricular-pedagogical praxis. Critical circular pedagogical praxis, by definition, refers to critical pedagogy specifically elaborated within specific bioregions and leveraged towards collective conscientization. In our conclusion, we return to our understanding of critical curricular-pedagogical praxis in order to advance the …
