Fostering Critical Media Conversations About Race and Gender in Bilingual Families
We explore how children’s media can be integrated into family literacy practices to encourage critical thinking about race and gender portrayals in animated videos. Data were collected over three months from various sources, including observations, interviews, and children’s work. The study’s findings suggest an expanded perspective on family literacy in the dual language context, serving as a platform for young bilingual children and parents to …
Choreographing complexity
This study accumulated empirical evidence pertaining to preservice teachers’ (n = 62) reasoning processes while choreographing group formations with embedded algebra tasks. The activities were designed to facilitate examination of the potential pedagogical connections between choreographing formation and mathematics, with particular emphasis on creating geometrical formation designs accompanied by corresponding algebraic equations. This study use…
Merging Authentic Field Experiences with Direct Interactions with Parents of ELs to Improve Hispanic Pre-service Teachers’ Self-Efficacy toward Parental Involvement
This study offered a group of preservice bilingual generalists’ opportunities for one semester to engage in a unique form of professional development that merged authentic field experiences with direct interaction with parents and families of ELs. Specifically, the study investigated how Hispanic pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy and dispositions about parental involvement changed as a result of having participated in this type of professional …
Off the paper and into the dance
This study aimed to empirically investigate preservice teachers’ learning experiences during a series of geometry-themed choreography and dance activities. These pedagogical tasks were designed to examine the challenges and solutions that participants experienced when exercising their spatial reasoning abilities, particularly during the transition between the choreography designs they had generated on a Lego-based grid worksheet and real-world da…
An Examination of Pre-Service Teachers’ Development of Communication Skills with Parents of ELs and Conceptual Understanding about Parental Involvement
Parent involvement has been shown to have a positive effect on second language acquisition, student motivation and academic achievement. This is particularly true for the almost five million English learners (ELs) in our PK-12 schools today and has important implications for the preparation of pre-service teachers. This study investigated how a set of experiences that engaged pre-service teachers in working directly with parents facilitated their…
Hispanic Preservice Teachers’ Peer Evaluations of Interdisciplinary Curriculum Development
This study investigated preservice teachers from two teacher education programs, elementary generalists and bilingual generalists (who will teach all subjects in both English and Spanish), about their instructional design abilities via examination of their ability to integrate interdisciplinary-themed activities into mathematics lessons. The findings illustrate the value provided by differentiating teacher preparation for preservice bilingual tea…
