Variability By Individual Student Characteristics Of Student Satisfaction With Promising International Student Teaching Practices, Clayton A. Smith, George Zhou, Michael Potter, Deena Wang, Miranda Pecoraro, Renan Paulino

Education Publications

This paper explores promising teaching practices for teaching linguistically and culturally diverse international students by identifying the teaching practices that have high levels of international student satisfaction and student perceptions of learning. Data were collected through an online survey at a mid-sized Canadian public comprehensive university. Variability of student satisfaction by individual student characteristics (e.g., level of study, year of study, age, gender, field of study, country of origin, length of time studying outside country of origin, parents’ educational level, and study location) is presented. Recommendations for professional practice are discussed


Toward A Definition Of Transnational Girlhood, Catherine Vanner Jul 2019

Toward A Definition Of Transnational Girlhood, Catherine Vanner

Education Publications

In this article, I join a conversation about the definition and value of the term transnational girlhood. After surveying the fields of transnationalism, transnational feminism, and girlhood studies, I reflect on the representation of girls who act or are discussed as transnational figures. I critique the use of the term, analyze movements that connect girls across borders, and close by identifying four features of transnational girlhood: cross-border connections based on girls’ localized lived experiences; intersectional analysis that prioritizes the voices of girls from the Global South who, traditionally, have had fewer opportunities to speak than their Global North counterparts; recognition …

A Comparison Study Of Using Origami As A Teaching Tool In Middle-School Mathematics Class In North America And China, Yueying Liu

Major Papers

This Major Paper compares origami-based mathematics school activities in North America and China. It introduces the current situation of the use of origami in mathematics classes to identify the similarities and differences of using origami as a teaching approach in these two regions. The Paper also attempts the analysis from various perspectives, including mathematics reform, mathematics learning system and environment, as well as the benefits of using origami in mathematics class, and how it relates to students’ mathematics achievement. Both North American and Chinese mathematics educators’ focus on integrating origami into middle schools’ mathematics classes can be found in the …


A Comparative Research Study Of Student-Teacher Relationships In Elementary School In China And America, Menghan Wu May 2019

A Comparative Research Study Of Student-Teacher Relationships In Elementary School In China And America, Menghan Wu

Major Papers

Student-teacher relationships are an important part of schooling. They not only affect students' academic achievements but also affect students' behaviors and attitudes. The history, culture, and society are different in China and America. These differences sometimes lead to different relationships between teachers and students in China and America. This paper focuses on exploring the differences and similarities between the student-teacher relationship in China and America and analyzes some of the key factors that influence these differences. I also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the relationship between teachers and students in China and America, and it proposes that the two …

Connecting Best Practices For Teaching Linguistically And Culturally Diverse International Students With International Student Satisfaction And Student Perceptions Of Student Learning, Clayton A. Smith, George Zhou, Michael Potter, Deena Wang

Education Publications

This paper explores promising teaching practices for teaching linguistically and culturally-diverse international students by identifying the teaching practices that have high levels of international student satisfaction and student perceptions of learning. This study is based on the belief that the most effective teaching practices are where promising teaching practices, student satisfaction, and student perceptions of learning meet. Researchers used a mixed-methods research design that included an online-survey questionnaire, focus-group discussions, and individual interviews. All of the promising teaching practices identified as having high levels of student satisfaction have medium/high perceptions of student learning. Some of the promising teaching practices with …

A Knowledge Synthesis Of Large-Scale Assessments Relative To Canadian Educators, Silvana Nawalany Jan 2019

A Knowledge Synthesis Of Large-Scale Assessments Relative To Canadian Educators, Silvana Nawalany

Major Papers

Canadian culture puts great emphasis on large-scale assessments (LSAs) as a representation of how our students understand curriculum expectations in core subjects such as math, literacy, and science. LSAs are used to compare students’ rankings within major subject matter at both an international and national level. Through research it is has been determined that there is a strong correlation between a teacher’s pedagogical practice, job satisfaction and thusly student experience with reference to the stresses and expectations of LSAs. A knowledge synthesis analysis was used to direct the following three questions: (1) What is the goal of LSAs within the …


Inquiry-Based Learning As A Strategy To Support Student Success, Jana L. Lepage-Kljajic Jan 2019

Inquiry-Based Learning As A Strategy To Support Student Success, Jana L. Lepage-Kljajic

Major Papers

In this paper, I look at inquiry-based learning within mathematics and science in the Ontario educational system while making connections to Ontario’s 21st Century Competencies foundation document. Further to this, I researched whether it might be beneficial for English Language Learners to integrate language and content through inquiry, and also review recommendations on how to best implement this approach. I endeavored to uncover what the current research says about how this pedagogical strategy might be used to support all learners in mathematics and science, and also the associated challenges with implementation of an inquiry approach. This was done through …

This paper will explore the benefits of using a collaborative inquiry process which includes the student as a central partner through systematic co analysis, co description, and co reflection of student work captured through the use of pedagogical documentation. The Student Work Study approach will be examined in its entirety and its benefits and implications will be …
