Roberts; Meredith A. Shaddix; Bridgette N. Sullivan; Isabella M. Swan; Emily M. Hartsell; Jeffrey D. DeMeis; Sunita S. Paudel; Glen M. Borchert – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Today, due to the size of many genomes and the increasingly large sizes of sequencing files, independently analyzing sequencing data is largely impossible for a biologist with little to no programming expertise. As such, biologists are typically faced with the dilemma of either having to spend a significant amount of time and effort to learn how…

Blaum, Dylan; Griffin, Thomas D.; Wiley, Jennifer; Britt, M. Anne – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2017
We examined students' understanding of the causes of a scientific phenomenon from a multiple-document-inquiry unit. Students read several documents that each described causal factors that could be integrated to address the given writing task of explaining the causes of change in average global temperature. We manipulated whether the document set…

Juhler, Martin Vogt – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2016
Recent research, both internationally and in Norway, has clearly expressed concerns about missing connections between subject-matter knowledge, pedagogical competence and real-life practice in schools. This study addresses this problem within the domain of field practice in teacher education, studying pre-service teachers' planning of a Physics…

Hudson, Melissa E.; Rivera, Christopher J.; Grady, Maureen M. – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2018
In 2008, Browder and colleagues published a meta-analysis on mathematics instruction for learners with significant cognitive disabilities and found that most skills taught to these students were only from two of the five strands recommended by the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (i.e., Number and Operations, and Measurement). A review…

Kuo, Eric; Hallinen, Nicole R.; Conlin, Luke D. – International Journal of Science Education, 2017
One aim of school science instruction is to help students become adaptive problem solvers. Though successful at structuring novice problem solving, step-by-step problem-solving frameworks may also constrain students' thinking. This study utilises a paradigm established by Heckler [(2010). Some consequences of prompting novice physics students to…

Pletcher, Bethanie; Christensen, Rosalynn – Reading Horizons, 2017
The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study was to explore the teacher/student reading conferences in two first grade teachers' classrooms in one primary school. Sixteen one-to-one reading conferences were recorded and transcribed over a two-month period and coded for content as related to the CAFÉ (Boushey & Moser, 2009) model of…

Soykan, Emrah; Özdamli, Fezile – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
It is clearly understood that technology oriented education on special training is neither sound nor adequate when considered from the literary point of view in our country. Limited studies held in country not only support this point of view but also demonstrate the lack of resource and studies carried out in this area. During the designing and…

Gilson, Carly B.; Carter, Erik W.; Biggs, Elizabeth E. – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2017
Effective vocational instruction is an essential aspect of preparing students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) for the world of work. We systematically reviewed research on instructional methods used to teach employment skills to secondary students with IDD. We identified 56 studies involving 766 participants with IDD. Four…

Da Fonte, M. Alexandra; Capizzi, Andrea M. – Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services, 2015
Paraeducators are on the front lines in special education settings, providing support to teachers and students with significant disabilities and specific health-care needs. The important role they play demands efficient and cost-effective training in core skills. This study utilized a multiple-baseline across behaviors design to evaluate a…

Bishop, Crystal D.; Snyder, Patricia A.; Crow, Robert E. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2015
We used a multi-component single-subject experimental design across three preschool teachers to examine the effects of video self-monitoring with graduated training and feedback on the accuracy with which teachers monitored their implementation of embedded instructional learning trials. We also examined changes in teachers' implementation of…

Gámez, Perla B.; González, Dahlia; Urbin, LaNette M. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2017
This study examined the relation between exposure to shared book reading and Spanish-speaking English learners' (ELs'; n = 102) narrative production and comprehension skills in kindergarten (mean age = 6.12 years). Audio- and videotaped book-reading sessions in Spanish were coded in terms of teachers' extratextual talk and gestures. Using a silent…

Mechling, Linda C.; Bryant, Kathryn J.; Spencer, Galen P.; Ayres, Kevin M. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2015
Two different video-based procedures for presenting the passage of time (how long a step lasts) were examined. The two procedures were presented within the framework of video prompting to promote independent multi-step task completion across four young adults with moderate intellectual disability. The two procedures demonstrating passage of the…

Brown, Phillip; Stephenson, Jennifer; Carter, Mark – Teacher Education and Special Education, 2014
Over the last decade, the obligation of general and special educators to utilize evidence-based instructional practices has become more prominent. Research increasingly suggests the failure of didactic teacher training alone to ensure implementation with fidelity of these practices by teachers in their classrooms. Multicomponent training (MCT)…
