Critical reflection supports enactment of the social roles of care, like collaboration and advocacy. We require evidence that links critical teaching approaches to future critically reflective practice. We thus asked: does a theory-informed approach to teaching critical reflection influence "what" learners talk about (i.e. topics of…

This study compared the effects of a conventional approach and a progressive approach to discrete trial teaching when teaching tact relations to 12 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The conventional approach was informed by best practice guidelines for teaching receptive and expressive language (Green "Focus on Autism…

This study aims to assess the overall impact of vocabulary development interventions on cognitive vocabulary outcomes. To achieve this, 43 theses on vocabulary teaching, each involving a specific intervention, were analyzed using meta-analysis. The findings from the meta-analysis, based on the random effects model, indicated that the average…

Improving student engagement in teaching settings is one of the biggest challenges in contemporary higher education. Drama is a powerful tool to engage audiences yet its use "by the lecturer" to potentially transform students' experience of HE teaching remains under-researched. This interpretive study used an action research strategy to…

An extensive body of literature explores the impacts of teaching professional development (TPD) on graduate students in the STEM disciplines. However, these TPD interventions are often extremely diverse and highly contextual. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to synthesize what is known about the impacts of TPD on select instructional outcomes…

Background: Artificial intelligence has been reshaping many industries, and education is no exception. When ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late 2022, it ignited conversations among educators and researchers alike. Despite growing interest and experimentation with this technology in university classrooms, the field has been missing a comprehensive…

Background/purpose: This study aims to analyze the application and impact of dynamic assessment as an enhancement of deep learning in writing narratives for elementary school students. The main focus is DA can improve the quality of the learning process and outcomes through intervention, feedback, and reflective revision. Materials/methods: This…

Developing students' mathematical creativity constitutes a key objective in curricula worldwide. Although teachers recognize their key role in fostering mathematical creativity, research indicates a discrepancy between their beliefs and classroom practices--the "creativity gap". Professional development programs have enhanced teachers'…

Autism spectrum disorders represent complex neurodevelopmental conditions that affect various domains of everyday life. In recent years, both scientific and societal understanding of autism has evolved considerably. As a result, numerous approaches have been developed to support individuals with autism spectrum disorder in applying their abilities…

The ability to recognize and construct nets is a fundamental aspect of spatial reasoning skills; however, there is a lack of understanding regarding effective instructional sequences for fostering this ability. The aim of this study is to test a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory for enhancing sixth-grade students' understanding of rectangular prism…

The current study evaluated the use of the self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) instructional approach to teach the TRAP mnemonic (Think before reading, Read a paragraph, Ask what is the main idea/important details, Paraphrase the paragraph) and its impact on youth reading comprehension performance. The TRAP mnemonic was taught to an…

Cover-copy-compare is a self-management intervention strategy developed to improve students' academic performance, particularly in spelling. In academic intervention research, it is often assumed that students are completing the intervention as intended, yet this is seldom examined during intervention implementation or subsequent data analysis.…

The flipped classroom (FC) and case-based learning (CBL) are recognized as effective instructional models that emphasize the development of problem-solving ability. However, the implementation of FC combined with CBL has not been well explored. This study aims to investigate the effect of FC combined with CBL on students' problem solving by…

Despite decades of research efforts, data-based instruction (DBI) for students with intensive intervention needs are not being widely used in practice as anticipated, and many educators have difficulties in implementing it. This systematic review aimed to examine what kinds of implementation drivers and strategies have been used to support…

Co-teaching and related collaborative models of instruction are widely used in primary and secondary schools in many school systems. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effects of such models on students' academic achievement and how these effects are moderated by factors of theoretical and practical relevance. Although…
