Background: Much has been made of whether the evidence supporting mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) is consistent or high-quality enough to merit their wide implementation, and numerous meta-analyses, reviews, and meta-analyses of meta-analyses have been conducted in pursuit of this question (e.g., Bockmann & Yu, 2023; Goldberg et al.,…

Sixteen MSW distance programs provided insight into how the implicit curriculum currently exists within their programs. Overall, distance programs carried out the activities necessary for student development; the student population made for a more diverse learning community; and faculty were receiving training. There was still a heavy reliance on…

This article presents a research study addressing the development, implementation, evaluation, and use of Interactive Modules for Online Training (MITO) of mathematics in higher education. This work was carried out in the context of the MITO project, which combined several features of the learning and management system Moodle, the computer-aided…

The purpose of this work is to examine using interactive videoconferencing (IVC) to provide preservice teachers with a model of exemplary reading instruction to transfer their learning and implement effective reading instruction. The program was facilitated by university professors and carried out though frequent interactions between preservice…

The University of Sussex In-School Teacher Education Project (InSTEP) uses interactive video technologies to enhance initial teacher education programmes for science trainee teachers. With four Internet Protocol cameras and mounted microphones in both school laboratories and the university teaching room, trainees and their tutors have access to…

When analyzing open-ended or categorical questions, many times responses are cross-classified by other categorical variables. The resulting contingency tables are then analyzed using the chi square test of independence. This procedure leads to multiple significance tests and provides no method to assess higher order interactions. Loglinear…

The author describes the making and audience testing of three interactive video programs for the education and training of managers. Results indicate that, to use interactive video's full potential, program developers must create video sequences and not attempt to use existing linear video made for continuous viewing. (Author/CH)

The effectiveness of interactive videodisc for teaching word processing was evaluated with 17 students using WordPerfect and a control group of 17 taught conventionally. Results revealed no significant difference in learner knowledge, learner attitude, and instruction time between the two groups. (JOW)

During the 2009-2010 school year, Marzano Research Laboratory (MRL) was commissioned by Promethean Ltd. to conduct a second year evaluation study of the effects of Promethean ActivClassroom on student academic achievement.

The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in evaluation of an educational interactive video program between high school students and their parents over a 4-year time span. High school students participating in the interactive video program were surveyed during 5 semesters. Survey instruments were also sent to parents via…

This report profiles the development, implementation, and evaluation of an interactive videodisc-based (IVD) program, Physical Sciences: Discovery through Interactive Technology. Developed by the Texas Learning Technology Group (TLTG), the program is a comprehensive, 160-hour, two-semester curriculum for secondary school students that integrates…

The Technological Innovations in Medical Education (TIME) model, designed to be controlled by a professor in the classroom, incorporates voice recognition technology and video dramatization to create a believable patient encounter. A field test finding was that the students became committed to the care and management of the simulated patient.…
