In this study, we examined why McGuffey used questions, and found that he believed that the use of questions during instruction would ensure that students understood the lesson. We also examined the type and level of questions in three of his Second Eclectic Readers. We found that the majority (1,218) were wh- questions, while 265 were yes-no and 27 were of other types. Classification systems by Bloom and by Pearson and Johnson were used to classify questions by levels. Overall, we found more questions classified at the knowledge and textually explicit levels than at any other level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We examined co-teacher effectiveness through the theoretical lens of intensity of effort by two co-teaching university professors and their students' academic achievement. Data sources included student records, student and professor course artifacts, and student surveys. Participants (50) were enrolled college students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics: Information, Technology, and Scientific Literacy for ALL Learners (STEM-ALL) project. Cross-disciplinary curriculum designed for undergraduate and graduate students included 22 learning outcomes, with the outcomes assessed 187 times in 58 assignments in four 3-credit hour university courses. Participants experienced co-teaching from observing their co-teaching professors and by completing assignments in co-teaching teams. Co-teaching by two professors resulted in high student achievement. Participants reported greatest impact of co-teaching on: learning to teach integrated and connected STEM content; planning for guided inquiry and STEM integrated content; learning to exercise professional judgement; determining uses of databases and other electronic sources; and delivering STEM curricular activities during their local school schedules., Today's college educators are keenly aware of their responsibilities in creating a robust, highly technical workforce and for designing new learning opportunities that involve connectivity, interactivity, and access to digital [...]
