Feedback is a key factor for learning success and has therefore been widely studied in higher education. As feedback is a highly contextualized practice serving various learner needs, researchers have utilized a plethora of feedback designs in their intervention studies. This diversity in feedback conceptualizations and pedagogical designs often…

Background: People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties recognizing emotions. Studies showed that virtual reality (VR) and computerized training programs might be used as potential tools for enhancing emotion recognition in such people. However, some inconsistencies were observed between the studies. Objective: In the current…

This meta-analysis systematically examines the evidence supporting the effectiveness of performance feedback as an evidence-based practice in the training of preservice special education teachers. A total of 27 studies were evaluated using the rigorous What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) design standards for Single-Case Experimental Research. Results…

Background: Children with autism often face challenges in developing social-emotional skills, which are essential for their overall growth and social integration.
