The document summarizes a study that examined how a self-regulation intervention impacted university students. The intervention involved instructing students on aligning their learning with self-regulatory prompts. Students reported being more aware of and engaging in self-regulatory behaviors after the intervention based on pre- and post-test surveys. However, the study was limited by not including a control group for comparison. The findings suggest pedagogical approaches that teach self-regulation can influence students' use of self-regulatory strategies.
Using Action Research to Identify Data During Clinical Experience (main)Antwuan Stinson
Critical thinking is the focal point missed in many students’ education. Learning to ask appropriate questions and deduce information in order to build a deeper connection to the information is imperative. This paper discusses alternative master’s preservice teachers’ use of action research to serve as a guide during a 16-week clinical experience. Semi-structured interviews and reflection papers were conducted to create a comparative case study that analyzed the clinical experiences.

Researching and Developing Engaging Pedagogies
2018 2H
Action research – guidance notes
1 Capstone unit
Researching and Developing Engaging Pedagogies is the capstone unit for the Master of Teaching (Primary). The core aim is to enhance and measure students’ readiness for the teaching profession.
· The unit develops students’ skills and expertise in researching their own practice, and facilitates their ‘researcherly’ disposition. (become a teacher-researcher)
· The unit supports students’ in refining their pedagogy throughsuch reflective practice. (progress as a teacher)
· The unit challenges students to inquire into, reflect upon and subsequently develop classroom pedagogies and assessment practices that facilitate substantive engagement in learning. (become an engaging teacher)
The unit extends students’ students’ research skills by drawing on participatory action research (e.g. through the use of peer planning, focus groups and peer assessment).
We focus on pedagogies that encourage learners of all social and cultural backgrounds to have engaging and productive relationships with education, schools and classrooms. We review theories which apply to the study of engaging practices in diverse professional contexts. In particular, we look at research into student engagement undertaken in the UWS Fair Go Project. Key readings have been selected to give students theoretical and practical understandings of what engaging teaching looks like, especially for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. We link the discussion on engagement to contemporary approaches to pedagogical innovation, which foreground motivation, creativity, technology integration and dialogic space in classrooms. Students are encouraged to implement and evaluate these teaching approaches in their professional experiences.
2 Researching engagement
Educational research on student engagement centres on understanding and developing engaging practices. Our focus is on innovative pedagogies that facilitate deep learning through substantive engagement. In this sense, we encourage you to shift your focus from behaviour management (controlling behaviour) to the management of learning (enabling and facilitating quality learning experiences). Concerns about the behaviour of students are valid concerns. We however encourage a pedagogic response to problem behaviour which recognises the links between the quality of the teaching and student behaviour. So engaging pedagogies do not simply ‘fix’ behaviour by exerting control (e.g. a reward systems or external incentive). Instead, we ask you to look deeply into your teaching and see where it is lacking in engagement.
It is imperative that you become familiar with the content of our core text (available online through the UWS library):

Quantifying the Effects of an Active Learning Strategy on the Motivation of S...Zin Eddine Dadach
The main objective of this paper is to use performance of students in order to quantify the effects of an active learning strategy on their motivation.
In the first part of the investigation, the relative performance of students was used as a tool to gauge the effects of the active learning strategy on the motivation of students. The results indicate that the active learning strategy enhanced the performance of 38 (69%) students.
For the second part of this quantitative method, the Dadach Motivation Factor ‘DMF’ was introduced in order to measure the effects of the active learning strategy on the motivation of students. Based on the requirement of the analysis (DMF> 1), the final results suggest that the active learning strategy has enhanced the motivation and increased the performance of twenty-two (40%) students. On the other hand, motivation did not have a significant role for the other sixteen (29%) students whose performance in the process control course (FGP) was higher than their average performance in the department (CGPA).
The results of the quantitative approach were compared with the student survey.
This study aims to detect the impact of the modified learning cycle strategy on the development of habits of mind and skills of critical thinking in the ‘Islamic Education’ subject for 10th grade students in Jordan. To achieve this goal, the researcher used the semi-experimental approach, hence dividing the students into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Each grouped consisted of (31) students. The modified learning cycle was applied to teach the experimental group, and the regular traditional strategy to the control group. The researcher prepared two studying tools: a measure of the habits of mind which consisted of (25) paragraph, and a critical thinking skills test which included (28) paragraph. Both tools were applied after assuring their validity and reliability. The results indicated a statistically significant difference for using the modified learning cycle strategy in the development of habits of mind and skills of critical thinking for the experimental group students compared to the control group students. The study, thus, stresses the need to apply the modified learning cycle in teaching the ‘Islamic Education’ subject due to its effectiveness in developing habits of mind and skills of critical thinking. The researcher also recommends conducting more research on the effectiveness of the modified learning cycle that concentrates on different variables.
Students come into our courses with knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes gained in other courses and through daily life. As students bring this knowledge to bear in our classrooms, it influences how they filter and interpret what they are learning. If students’ prior knowledge is robust and accurate and activated at the appropriate time, it provides a strong foundation for building new knowledge. However, when knowledge is inert, insufficient for the task, activated inappropriately, or inaccurate, it can interfere with or impede new learning. To apply this principle, consider the following teaching techniques:
Administer a diagnostic assessment or have students assess their own prior knowledge (See “Selected Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) for Getting Feedback on Student Learning”).
Use brainstorming to reveal prior knowledge.
Identify discipline-specific conventions explicitly.
Ask students to make and test predictions (See “Teaching for Retention in Science, Engineering & Mathematics”).

Experiential approach of learning mathematics- ThiyaguThiyagu K
Many of the science concepts such as gravity, friction, force, momentum etc. can be learned by students playing on slides, swings, spinners, and a number of other standard and custom playground equipments. Students can explore the scientific principles of motion, balance, sound, sight, levers and simple machines, as well as about sun, wind and water. Motivating them to look at the science underlying the enjoyable handson activities, their playing can be turned into a joyful experiential learning by an innovative teacher like us. In the same manner as a mathematics teacher, we have to think to incorporate some of the experiential learning strategies in our classroom practices.
Mathematics requires experiential learning where students are involved in their own understanding of mathematical concepts and practices. Through this type of learning, students are able to identify problems, use constructive reasoning to make viable arguments, and applying mathematics in real-life problems.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

REGULATION
BASED ON: MACLELLAN, E. & SODEN, R. (2006).
‘FACILITATING SELF-REGULATION IN HIGHER
EDUCATION THROUGH SELF-REPORT.’ LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS RESEARCH. 9: 95-110
By Ronald Platt, 2045991EDUC 9733
2. Introduction
Learning consistent with a social-constructivist
perspective, an ‘active and self-directed
process in which learners build or construct
internal representations that are personal
interpretations of their learning experiences.’
(p95)
Teaching: Knowledge of how learning occurs:
‘unless the learner actually wants to learn ...
and unless the learner engages in activities to
progress the learning ... learning is not likely to
take place.’ (p96)
3. Academic Self-Regulation
Cyclical process, ‘not hierarchical, thereby
allowing the possibility of phases operating
simultaneously and dynamically.’ (p97)
Forethought:
Analyse
Performance:
Control
Observe
Self
Reflection:
Evaluate
4. Self-Regulation versus Meta-
cognition
Literature isn’t clear on the behavioural/
psychological link between self-regulation and
metacognition:
‘It is therefore important in the context of
higher education generally that tutors, who
might not themselves research student
motivation and learning, understand self-
regulation in a way that they can readily
harness in their own teaching contexts.’ (p98)
5. Accessing and Measuring Self-
Regulation
Self-Regulation as event:
‘appropriate measures would include think
aloud protocols, error-detection tasks and
trace methodologies as these measures focus
on the thoughts and cognitive processes of
individual learners when carrying out
particular, and possibly unique, tasks.’ (pp98-
99)
Self-Regulation as aptitude:
‘then self-report questionnaires or structured
interviews are appropriate measures.’ (p99)
6. Purpose of Study
Explore self-regulation ‘as an aptitude amenable
to influence’ (p99)
Method Design: University students instructed in
alignment between learning material and self-
regulatory prompts. The self-regulation measure
was used to gather data pre and post intervention:
‘For the 15 items in each scale of the
questionnaire, participants were invited to indicate
the frequency – Never, Sometimes, Frequently, All
the Time – with which they engaged in each of the
behaviours.’(p100)
7. Intervention Procedure
‘Understanding Your Learning.’ (Compulsory course
administered to Students enrolled in Primary teaching
course in a Scottish University)
‘The module comprised specified and additional
reading, lectures (to the entire cohort) and discussion
groups (of about 20 students) in which students were
required to engage in a range of learning tasks to
transform (through applying or concretising,
memorising or rehearsing, critiquing, analysing,
relating or structuring, selecting or summarising) ideas
that they had read or heard about.’ (p101)
Participants given self-regulatory prompts they could
refer to when clarification was required.
9. Results
Pre-test compared to post-test:
‘support the conclusion that the intervention
influenced the three main elements of self-
regulation. In other words, students reported
significantly increased awareness of, and
engagement with, sets of behaviours that are
thought to constitute self-regulation.’ (pp102-3)
10. Limitations
Resource constraints prevented comparison with
a control group.
Despite the reported difference, it remains unclear
how effective the intervention was in facilitating
this difference.
‘For scientific purposes, it is clearly important to
understand self-regulation in more detail but, for
pedagogic purposes, it is sufficient to be
persuaded that the differences evidenced in this
study have a robustness that warrants continued
examination of the intervention.’ (p103)
11. Discussion
Expertise: Having been immersed in the
learning, students were likely to develop
expertise in the area of self-regulation.
Pedagogy: ‘Without pedagogical content
knowledge, tutors are unable to help students
to learn when, where and why to use content
knowledge.’ (p104)
Personal Epistemology: Student’s own beliefs
about how they learn influence the learning
outcomes.
12. Conclusion
‘the intervention did not engender a helpless
response but made clear that self-regulated
learning is neither easy nor automatic and can
be demanding in terms of time and effort.’
(p106)
‘it is the learners’ perceptions of their
involvement in both behaviour and context ...
that are the focus of self-regulatory activity.’
(p107)
