Developing tailored implementation strategies to increase the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) requires accurate identification of predictors of their use. However, known difficulties with measuring EBP use complicates interpretation of the extant literature. In this proof-of-concept study, we examined whether the same predictors of use of…

Pre-lab summary videos supplement gross anatomy courses by helping students navigate difficult concepts, increasing student confidence, and allowing for content review outside the laboratory. Few studies have examined the direct correlation between video viewing and performance outcomes. This study uses performance outcome data from six…

Sustained implementation of effective behavior support systems and practices is critical for improving academic and behavior outcomes for students with and without disabilities. Although implementation studies have identified variables facilitating sustained implementation of Tier 1 behavior support systems in schools, little research exists…

As the price of college tuition continues to rise, higher education institutions and their governing bodies are facing immense pressure to fully understand and explain how tuition, fees, and other sources of revenue are being spent on their campuses. Understanding these expenditures is not only important for the leadership and constituents of the…

Beyond correlational studies exploring the benefits of nature exposure, there have been studies assessing interventions that aim to improve nature connection in children and adolescents. A feeling of connection with nature or 'nature connectedness' describes our attitude towards nature, primarily reflecting the emotional, cognitive, and…

Feelings of burnout are widely thought to be a contributing factor to low employee retention for outdoor expeditionary program (OEP) field instructors. The purpose of this study was to examine how certain job demands and resources influence levels of burnout among OEP field instructors. To address this aim, the following study evaluated feelings…

Given the dramatic risks and rewards to different graduate pathways, it is imperative to understand disparities in access to the highest levels of education. This paper responds to a tension between the traditional understanding that parents' education ceases to influence children's educational trajectories after college and the more recent…

Objective: Explore predictors of early COVID-19 vaccine adoption on a university campus. Participants: Students, faculty, staff, and administration (N = 1,234) completed an online survey exploring COVID-19 vaccine-related experiences, perspectives, and knowledge, from September to October 2021. Methods: Based on vaccination status participants…

Introduction: Rural young people Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) are one of the most vulnerable and invisible groups facing School to Work Transitions (STWT) in Europe. This paper aims to deliver a theoretical model for understanding the STWT of rural NEETs. Methods: The proposed model stems from an overview of the relevant factors…

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among MOOC learners' personal goal achievement, instructor goal achievement, learning experiences measured with perceived learning and course satisfaction, and their continuance intention in a MOOC offered by a research university in the United States. A total of 203 MOOC learners…

Purpose: To determine college students' intentions to be Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinated. Methods: The study was comprised of college students aged 18-45 years. A survey was developed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The significance of the TPB constructs--attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control--and an…

This study examined the professional identity development of counselors-in-training (CITs), considering the influence of personal and program factors. The data were collected from 198 master's-level CITs enrolled in CACREP-accredited programs. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that CITs' personal traits, such as gender…

Flipped classrooms (FCs) in K-12 schools are growing in popularity. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings on the effects of FCs, and the conditions under which FCs are effective remain unclear. This three-level meta-analysis synthesized the effects of FCs versus traditional classrooms (TCs) on various learning domains among…

Since the 1970s, master's degrees represent the fastest growing degree in the United States (US). Accordingly, there is a need for greater understanding of the factors that have contributed to this sustained, upward trend. Guided by resource dependence theory, we conducted hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses to examine whether more…

During the final years of secondary school, students engage in the decision-making process regarding their important choice of university career. Individual differences in how people approach this process could be attributed to personality traits, gender, and the specific year of attendance. To investigate this hypothesis, a study was conducted…
