Over the course of training, physicians develop significant knowledge and expertise. We review dual-process theory, the dominant theory in explaining medical decision making: physicians use both heuristics from accumulated experience (System 1) and logical deduction (System 2). We then discuss how the accumulation of System 1 clinical experience…

Current literature often focuses primarily on students when thinking of avenues to increase their academic achievement and/or social and emotional well-being, rather than increasing teacher professional capacity to directly impact students by developing their own social and emotional well-being. Therefore, there is a need to explore adult social…

Short-term mega sporting events provide an opportunity for students to not only gain a memorable career experience but also enhance student skills and learning. However, very few (if any) researchers have explored students' confidence related to key skills before and after such an event. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of…

School psychologists play a critical role in the provision of functional, student-centered, and data-driven behavioral assessments and intervention. However, research examining their procedural knowledge and comfort conducting these assessments is minimal. In this manuscript, we will review the results of a mixed method study indicating that…

Facilitating success for students with behavioral health challenges requires effective collaboration among professionals from traditionally disparate systems (e.g., education, health, and mental health). The current investigation describes a case-study implementation of a school-based learning collaborative model and explores its effectiveness in…

Organizations worldwide spend large amounts of money and resources on developing their employees, yet the money invested in professional learning (PL) yields low to moderate results at best. Because culture is a predominant force in people's life, multinational corporations and other institutions should take culture into account at every stage of…

American Occupational Therapy Association fellowship programs are an emerging post-professional educational opportunity aimed at developing practitioners in specialized areas of occupational therapy practice. Mentored practice is a critical and substantial component of fellowship programs; however, the experiences of mentors and fellows have not…

Schools in the United States have produced racialized outcomes for generations, and decades of reform have failed to build true educational equity. Critical Discourse Studies suggest that leader discourse has the power to disrupt ideologies that sustain White supremacy and facilitate antiracist ideologies and actions. Using critical discourse…

Purpose: As Vietnam needs to shift from physical to virtual classrooms owing to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, this study aims to propose and evaluate a constructivist training course designed to improve instructors' self-confidence in conducting synchronous online teaching by helping them develop the skills required for such.…

Direct support professionals work with developmentally disabled individuals and are responsible for implementing behavior intervention support plans (BISPs). Little is known about the efficacy of supplemental BISP training in these professionals. The purpose of this quantitative experimental study was to investigate the efficacy of BISP training…

Collaborative staff development in education is the vehicle to student success, and research shows that the closer professional learning is to daily practice, the more meaningful and impactful it will be. Written with deep respect for the work educators do in their classrooms each day, this practical resource illustrates the importance of…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to create and evaluate online learning modules designed to teach speech-language pathologists (SLPs) dialogic reading strategies and phonemic awareness skills. Method: School-based SLPs (n = 28) were assigned to complete one of two online learning modules. One module taught dialogic reading strategies, and…

An extensive body of workplace learning literature documents the changing nature of professional learning, knowledge and work, but the tensions between the distinctive purposes and interests of professions and organizations have not received the same level of attention. The sociology of professions literature in contrast has paid an enormous…

The professional formation of new graduates and their ability to perform well at the start of their career depends on the development of both technical skills and professional competencies. Whilst the latter aspects have become increasingly considered within engineering programs, they are often learnt within an academic context rather than a…

One of the most important skills for students to use, starting from the preschool period and throughout their lives, is art education. The quality of visual arts teachers, who aim to develop students' knowledge and skills in terms of art, is highly important in this process. It is believed that the knowledge and experience that prospective visual…
