Despite the lack of a large research base on intervention effects on evolutionary acceptance, research has shown that beliefs are an important predictor of instructional emphasis on evolution (e.g., Berkman and Plutzer 2011; Moore 2007, 2008; Nehm and Schonfeld 2007).
The analysis of the qualitative data complemented the survey results and led to similar conclusions about an increased engagement and appreciation of scientific concepts gained by students in the art courses, when these were proposed with the innovative pedagogical and instructional emphasis that has been illustrated in this paper.
This paper describes our efforts to assess students' understanding of the first topic area, osmosis and diffusion, by creating a modified version of the DODT that better corresponds to the instructional emphases on our campus, and that would fit within our programmatic assessment plan, in terms of both its overall length and the topics it included (described in Methods).
Many new principal preparation and development programs emphasize the role of principals as "instructional leaders". This emphasis on instructional leadership was driven in large part by the effective schools movement of the 1970s and 1980s and has since been renewed because of increasing demands that school leaders be held accountable for student performance (Hallinger 2005).
Through the district's emphasis on effective instructional technology integration, students were able to access social media and internet resources on a 1-1 basis during class time--a reality that many young people take for granted, yet others do not have access to in their daily lives.
And while they are highly monitored for fitness, trained in seminars with frequent use of instructional videos, updated on new rules emphasis and graded in competition with one another, these referees, from the large and small countries of soccer, are more alone than ever since Blatter, known as Sepp, criticized Moreno for his big call in the Italy-South Korea game.
Wang (1998) examined four dimensions of OTL: content coverage, content exposure, content emphasis, and quality of instructional delivery.
Pestalozzi's critique of traditional instructional means and ends, and his emphasis on developing the pupil's autonomy, would permanently stamp Herbart's own pedagogic thought (Beiser 2014: 101).
Instead, we present next the general instructional framework in DeepTutor with an emphasis on macro- and micro-adaptation which is important to know in order to better understand the data analyses presented in this article.
For instance, Kirschner et al. (2006) suggest that problem-based learning (PBL) is a minimally guided approach and is less effective and efficient than instructional approaches that place a strong emphasis on guidance of the student learning process.
The fishbowl model also permitted the facilitator to ask TAs questions about what they were seeing with an emphasis on questions related to instructional decisions.
