Video activity schedules are a type of video-based instruction that combines video modeling with activity schedules. To the authors' knowledge, there has not been a comprehensive synthesis of this intervention for teaching autistic people. The purpose of this review was to synthesize the current single-case research and evaluate the methodological…

There has been increased attention recently on models and modelling within the global science education field. Research has begun to skew towards a competence-based perspective of models and modelling, as teachers are experiencing challenges and do not have the required competence in modelling from either theoretical or practical perspectives.…

Coaching teachers is complex work as coaches must navigate multiple and competing roles of expert and colleague. Within mathematics education, there is a lack of research exploring how coaches enact their stance for coaching, balancing the roles of expert and colleague, in ways that best support teacher learning. Furthermore, little is known about…

Not all in-service general music teachers received instruction in vocal pedagogy for young voices. However, teaching children how to sing is highly complex. By understanding adult vocal registers and children's vocal development, as well as using effective vocal modeling and varied feedback, music teachers may create a learning experience that can…

While a wealth of research evidence has highlighted the significant impact of prosocial modeling on shaping children's sharing behavior, the mechanism underlying this effect remains less understood. Here we consider the goal contagion account whereby children recognize the prosocial "goal" of others' actions and these goals are…

This article aims to raise awareness among practitioners about how small adjustments in presentation can optimize modeling in dance for individual learners and increase the satisfaction of students who enjoy dancing. Our reflections are based on the first author's experiences as a teacher and performer and in response to semistructured interviews…

Queer leadership in dance education settings is explored through this paper in two intertwined ways; being a queer-identifying leader and leading with a queer lens. A rich and un-constraining view of queer leadership is advanced through theoretical analysis and immersive insights from my experience as a cisgender, femme, gay man who has recently…

The purpose of this study is to determine if heritage speakers can effectively instruct pronunciation to their non-native speaker peers to support faculty. The researcher of this study assessed non-native speaker participants' pronunciation of Spanish using pronunciation instruction and instructor background as variables (N=111: 91 underwent…

Video-enhanced activity schedule (VidAS) embeds a video model within a visual schedule, then links the images in the visual schedule to a video model clip, completing the step represented in each image. VidAS could leverage the strength of standard visual schedules and offer learners on the autism spectrum extra support to illustrate a sequence of…

This New Zealand-based inquiry investigates modelling as an instructional component of writing pedagogy in upper primary schools. As part of a large mixed methods study of writing instruction by a group of exemplary teachers (N = 9), we inquired into the occurrence, operationalisation and relative benefits of teachers using each of the recognised…

While the potential of personalized education has long been emphasized, the practical adoption of adaptive learning environments has been relatively slow. Discussion about underlying reasons for this disparity often centers on factors such as usability, the role of teachers, or privacy concerns. Although these considerations are important, I argue…

Purpose: This study aims to address the following objectives: determine the pro-environmental behavior of students and professors engaged in the course Sustainable Tourism; determine the pro-environmental behavior component of the professor that has the highest influence on the pro-environmental behavior of students; and formulate a model…

The production and use of explicit models of mathematics are important elements of research in Didactics of Mathematics. In this paper, we present and compare two different European approaches to didactical modelling. The first, centred around the notion of basic idea (Grundvorstellung), arose in German-speaking countries as a development within…

This paper describes a mixed methods study of Japanese first-year tertiary learners' attitudes to English language learning models. It outlines the results from a survey comprised of a verbal guise test (measuring respondents' attitudes to both linguistic and personality features) and vocabulary elicitation, which was administered to 87…

Exposure to heroes and villains via media may influence individuals' behavioural characteristics, but little is known about its effects on the developmental process. Especially, it is unclear whether preferences for heroes or villains are associated with behavioural characteristics in preschoolers, when exposure to TV rapidly increases. We…
