  • The purpose of this action research project was to study the effects of incorporating coding into the middle school math classroom affected student dispositions with math and their understanding of mathematical concepts. The project, involving a total of 107 US middle school students, used five data sources to examine these effects: a survey, a chart measuring student engagement, a pre- and post-assessment before and after the coding project, and teacher observation with reflection forms. After analyzing the data, it was found that incorporating coding into the middle school math classroom could have a positive impact on student math dispositions and their understanding of math concepts.

  • This paper reports on a qualitative examining the cross-cultural reasons for student engagement and resistance to critical literacy in a three week summer TESOL MA course that was part of a Korean/American university faculty exchange program. Of particular interest was the unique diversity of the class which consisted of 13 subjects from 9 different nations. Using student and instructor reflective journals, field notes on classroom observations, and the course terminal paper on student's philosophies of education as research corpora, results of the study revealed that students resisted instruction in critical literacy for ideological and epistemological reasons. Nonetheless, the data also showed that while all students resisted some theories in critical literacy, all students nonetheless engaged the course content in meaningful ways.

  • This paper studies the effect of flipping the classroom in undergraduate physics classes using English as the medium of instruction (EMI). Data on student use of learning strategies, course satisfaction level and perceptions of the flipped classes were collected through a survey including close-ended and open-ended questions. The sample size was 71 students in flipped classes, with 60 students in non-flipped classes used as a control group (total N=131). It was found that students in the flipped classes showed greater intrinsic goal orientation (p<.05), control of learning beliefs (p<.05), and use of critical thinking (p<.01) than those in the non-flipped classes. While the survey highlighted problems of student engagement with the pre-class activities, students who had previous experience with online classes committed more time to pre-class, suggesting that engagement may improve with exposure to blended learning. It is concluded that the flipped classroom helps students develop their identities as self-directed learners, but that more support is necessary for weaker students in the EMI context. Implications are drawn for the content design of flipped EMI classrooms.

  • It is commonly understood that students' autonomous motivation and individualistic orientations and instructors' autonomy support are important for student-centered learning (SCL). However, few studies have examined this assumption. To help researchers and practitioners design more engaging SCL experiences across diverse cultural contexts, this study examines the associations of these factors with SCL engagement and how these associations compare in different cultures. University students in South Korea and the United States participated in a bold SCL assignment, called Pink Time, in which students decide what and how they learn. Linear, multivariate models were estimated in each context to identify and compare relationships between SCL engagement and student characteristics and perceptions. We found that engagement was high in both contexts. Autonomous motivation, individualism, and perceived instructor support each had significant associations with SCL engagement in South Korea. In the US, which had a smaller sample size, only perceived instructor support was significantly associated. These findings suggest that SCL strategies can be effective across cultures. Also, the narrower classroom context, specifically instructors' support, may be a stronger driver of engagement than the broader societal context. This study contributes to the scholarly discussion regarding SCL in diverse settings and offers several implications for instructors.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 동료 멘토링을 이용한 수업에서 교사의 수업 참여전략과 발문전략이 어떻게 학생의 수업 참여와 수학적 개념과 문제해결에 영향을 주는지 분석함으로써 교사가 학생들의 수업 참여를 촉진하는 방법론에 대한 시사점을 주는 것이다. 이를 위해 동료 멘토링 방법을 이용하여 수업을 진행하고 있는 중학교 1학년 수업과정 중에서 대표적인 수업을 비디오로 녹화하여 전사하였다. 자료 수집 후 학생들의 수업 참여를 촉진하는 참여전략과 수학적 개념과 문제해결에 도움이 될 수 있는 교사의 발문전략을 중심으로 분석하고, 1학기말 수학 성취도와 2학기말 수학 성취도를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 동료 멘토링에서의 편안한 분위기를 기반으로 하는 학습 환경에서의 다양한 수업 참여전략과 멘토링의 효과성에 따른 교사의 적절한 발문은 학습 과정에서 학생들의 학습 동기를 유발시켜 수업 참여를 촉진하였다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 효과적인 사회적 상호작용을 통해 수학적 개념 형성과 문제해결 과정에 도움을 줌으로써 수학 성취도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 학습자의 수업 참여를 촉진하기 위한 교수법과 교사의 역할과 기여를 구체적으로 제시함으로써 수업 참여전략과 발문전략을 동시에 고려하는 수업 설계에 실질적인 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

  • Given that the culture of the mathematics classroom has been perceived as an important topic in mathematics education research, this paper deals with the construct of sociomathematical norms which can be used as an analytical tool in understanding classroom mathematical culture. This paper first reviews the theoretical foundations of the construct such as symbolic interactionism and ethnomethodology, and describes the actual classroom contexts in which social and sociomathematical norms were originally identified. This paper then provides a critical analysis of the previous studies with regard to sociomathematical norms. Whereas such studies analyze how sociomathematical norms become constituted and stabilized in the specific classroom contexts, they tend to briefly document sociomathematical norms mainly as a precursor to the detailed analysis of classroom mathematical practice. This paper reveals that the trend stems from the following two facts. First, the construct of sociomathematical norms evolved out of a classroom teaching experiment in which Cobb and his colleagues attempted to account for students' conceptual loaming as it occurred in the social context of an inquiry mathematics classroom. Second, the researchers' main role was to design instructional devices and sequences of specific mathematical content and to support the classroom teacher to foster students' mathematical learning using those sequences Given the limitations in terms of the utility of sociomathematical norms, this paper suggests the possibility of positioning the sociomathematical norms construct as more centrally reflecting the quality of students' mathematical engagement in collective classroom processes and predicting their conceptual teaming opportunities. This notion reflects the fact that the construct of sociomathematical norms is intended to capture the essence of the mathematical microculture established in a classroom community rather than its general social structure. The notion also allows us to see a teacher as promoting sociomathematical norms to the extent that she or he attends to concordance between the social processes of the classroom, and the characteristically mathematical ways of engaging. In this way, the construct of sociomathematical norms include, but in no ways needs to be limited to, teacher's mediation of mathematics discussions.

  • 학생은 대화뿐만 아니라 비언어적인 행동을 통해서도 수업에 참여한다. 특히 과학교실에서는 다른 교과수업과 다르게 과학기구의 사용, 관찰, 측정 등의 비언어적인 행동들이 나타난다. 그런데 학생의 행동적 참여를 분석하는 기존의 도구들은 과학교과에서 나타나는 이러한 특징적인 활동을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 과학교과의 학습 활동을 고려한 행동적 참여 영상 분석 도구를 개발하였다. 분석 도구를 개발하기 위하여, 첫째, 문헌연구와 초등학교 과학수업 관찰을 바탕으로 수업 중에 나타나는 학생의 행동을 14가지로 범주화하였다(자유발화, 음독, 경청하기, 묵독, 쓰기, 주의 집중하기, 손들기, 이동하기, 비참여적 움직임, 과제 움직임, 관찰하기, 측정하기, 분류하기, 실험도구 다루기). 둘째, 이를 바탕으로 '과학수업 중 행동적 참여 상태 분석틀'을 개발하였다. 셋째, Microsoft Excel Visual Basic을 이용하여 분석틀에 따라 학생들의 발화 여부, 시선, 몸의 움직임 등을 기록하고 분석할 수 있는 분석 도구를 개발하였다. 개발된 도구를 이용하면 수업 중학생의 각 행동이 수행된 시간과 학생의 네 가지 수업참여 상태(즉, 참여적 발화, 참여적 침묵, 비참여적 발화, 비참여적 침묵)를 파악할 수 있다. 개발된 분석 도구를 실제 과학시간의 초등학생 두 명을 대상으로 예시적으로 적용해 본 결과, 교사는 수업활동(일반, 시범실험, 실험활동)에 따라 발화의 양을 달리하였으며, 분석대상인 두 학생은 전체 수업시간 동안 참여적 침묵 상태에 있는 시간이 가장 길었다(학생 A: 63%, 학생 B: 72%). 참여적 침묵 상태에 있는 두 학생은 '경청하기'를 하는 시간이 가장 길었는데(학생 A: 51%, 학생 B: 42%), 교사의 발화가 상대적으로 적었던 실험활동 시간에는 오히려 '경청하기'를 거의 하지 않은 대신에 '관찰하기'를 가장 많이 하였다(학생 A: 47%, 학생 B: 53%). 개발된 분석 도구가 비언어적인 행동을 통하여 과학수업에 참여하고 있는 학생의 행동을 이해하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

  • It is widely recommended that teachers should actively mediate students' engagement with tools such as manipulative materials. This paper is to help to parse classroom life so that both social and psychological aspects are accounted for and coordinated. Building on the theory of affordances from ecological psychology and the activity theory from sociocultural perspectives, the main strategy of this paper is to view manipulative materials as simultaneously participating in social and psychological activity systems. Within these activity systems it is charted how both mathematical affordances related to the structure of mathematical concepts and ecological affordances related to socially situated classroom practices need to be considered by teachers in effective mediation of mathematical manipulatives. This paper has three major sections. The first section develops a theoretical extension of Gibson's theory of affordances from natural to social environments. The second section introduces mathematical and ecological affordances using empirical data from a grade two elementary school classroom. The third section illustrates the need of coordinating the two affordances as embedded in different activity systems.

  • One challenge with teaching practical programming classes is the standardization of development tools on student computers. This is particularly true when a complicated setup process is required before beginning to code, or in remote classes, such as those necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, where the instructor cannot provide individual troubleshooting assistance. In such cases, students who encounter problems during the setup process may give up on the class altogether before even beginning to code. Therefore, this paper recommends using GitHub Codespaces as a tool for implementing standardized student development environments from day one. Codespaces provides Docker containers that an instructor can configure in such a way as to enable students to practice installing various coding tools within a controlled space, while also providing a language-specific, fully optimized development environment. In addition, Codespaces may be used more effectively in collaboration with GitHub Classroom, which helps instructors manage both the starter code and coding environment in which students work. In this paper, we compare two semesters of university Node.JS programming classes that utilized different development environments: one localized on student computers, the other containerized in Codespaces online. Then, we discuss how GitHub Codespaces and GitHub Classroom can be used to increase the effectiveness of practical programming classes while also increasing student engagement and programming confidence in class.

  • The present study examined the relation between academic help-seeking behaviors and classroom context based on students' perceptions of various classroom goals stressed by their teachers and their perceived teacher support for seeking help. The 305 subjects were 5th grade students(162 boys and 143 girls) of an elementary school in Gwangyang. The students completed a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by $2{\times}2$ ANOVA. Results showed that students' help-seeking behaviors were influenced by their teachers' goal orientation and perceived teacher support for seeking help. The results of this study suggest that perceived teacher support for seeking help may be expecially important for some students who could use instrumental help to continue task engagement, and teachers' learning-focused goal orientation is an important variable of instrumental help-seeking behavior.
