The debate on grammar in second language acquisition: past, present, and future, is a well written summary of both explicit and implicit grammar instruction in second language acquisition from past to present and with future projections. The thesis holds that explicit grammar instruction plays a very important role in foreign language learning and teaching and argues that English education in C...

COLLEGE SCIENCE TEACHING It is well established that a major barrier to learning are the misconceptions that students bring with them into the classroom or that develop during the course of instruction (Committee on Undergraduate Science Education 1997). Conventional teaching strategies, even those that directly address identified misconceptions, often fail to change students’ deeply held ideas...

eaching and learning are complementary processes that are most effective when teachers and students employ compatible methods and when their goals are aligned. Four “spherical cows,” metaphors for implicit assumptions made about key teaching and learning concepts, are explored. Explicit conceptualizations, drawn from selected research and theory and based on the understanding that knowledge is ...

Whereas some studies report a decrease in stress in autonomy-supportive environments, other studies show a negative effect of autonomy on physiological stress. As previous research has not considered individual differences within this relationship, the present research ...
