What Lies Beneath the Science Achievement Gap: The Challenges of Aligning Science Instruction With Standards and Tests

PapAR – Interacting with Multimedia on Paper

In this contribution, we introduce the augmented reality presentation system PapAR. PapAR extends the use of printed paper documents in such a way that it is possible to integrate tokens for multimedia elements such as pictures, video or audio. These tokens can then be used in conjunction with a presentation system to interact with the multimedia elements on a large display, e.g. in a lecture s...

Aligning Objectives and Assessment in Responsible Conduct of Research Instruction

Efforts to advance research integrity in light of concerns about misbehavior in research rely heavily on education in the responsible conduct of research (RCR). However, there is limited evidence for the effectiveness of RCR instruction as a remedy. Assessment is essential in RCR education if the research community wishes to expend the effort of instructors, students, and trainees wisely. This ...

Decompressing and Aligning the Design Structures of Computer Based Instruction

Designers of computer-based instruction (CBI) and web-based instruction (WBI) need approaches that support the creation of products that are effective, efficient, and appealing. In order to achieve these product qualities, early CBI researchers pursued goals of adaptivity, generativity, and scalability (Stolurow, 1969; Suppes, 1969). Researchers also felt that computerizing instruction would al...

What First Grade Teachers Reveal About Vocabulary Instruction: Aligning Instruction to the Common Core State Standards

This mixed methods study examined the vocabulary knowledge and instructional practices of four grade 1 teachers in order to better understand how prepared teachers are to implement the First Grade English Language Arts Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Data collected included an audiotaped semi-structured interview, a teacher survey, video-recorded class vocabulary instruction, researcher fie...
