Teachers as Innovators

Making learning fun: Quest Atlantis, a game without guns

“…Every context challenges the project with a new set of circumstances, personalities, resources, cultural norms, and other variables that directly and indirectly speak to the viability of project implementation. Many researchers who have studied the implementation of projects in multiple settings have found that local customizability is the key to successful implementation (Randi & Corno, 1997). That is, the program must be flexible enough to adapt to local conditions and provide meaningful ways for local stakeholders to legitimately feel that they are part of the project and that their opinions are not only respected but show tangible manifestations in their local iteration of the project.…”

Overregulation in Physical Education – Teaching Behavior Effects on Self-Regulated Motor Learning

“…The measurement of self-regulated learning ranges from the observation of overt behavior (Corno, 2001) to analyses of interviews (Perry, 2002) and diaries (Randi & Corno, 1997). From the perspective of quantitative research, the most common instrument for assessing self-regulated learning is the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ; Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, & McKeachie, 1993).…”

Investigation of Mathematics Teachers’ Level of Following, Understanding, and Applying Educational Research

“…Hallinan (1996) state that there is a lack of communication resulting from the difference between the agendas and interests of researchers and practitioners. It is important to establish connection between research and practice to deal with this deficiency (Broekkamp and Van Hout-Wolters, 2007;Feiman-Nemser, 1998;Randi and Corno, 1997). William (2002) marked that teachers can work with researchers and obtain information that will help them rather than using information in the studies which they regarded as "far away" from them.…”
