The welding workforce is facing a deficit of skilled welders, highlighting the need to develop more efficient and effective welding training methods. Virtual reality (VR) technologies have been adopted to create VR welding simulations for educational and training purposes. The purpose of this literature review was to collect and analyze…

Within vocational education and training (VET), mathematics learning is often complicated by students' problematic prior mathematics education experiences and associated low confidence and limited prerequisite knowledge. Teachers have insights into students' mathematics learning needs and appropriate curriculum and assessment responses, but their…

Service Dominant Logic (SDL) proposes value creation as a process based on service, the success of which ultimately depends on employees' service orientation. Given that universities are the nest of future employees, and the latest World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report highlights skills such as empathy and active listening, leadership and…

Reward-predictive items capture attention even when task-irrelevant. While value-driven attention typically generalizes to stimuli sharing critical reward-associated features (e.g., red), recent evidence suggests an alternative generalization mechanism based on feature relationships (e.g., redder). Here, we investigated whether relational coding…

The important advance in neuroscience in recent years has generated a lot of knowledge about the brain and its functioning. Many times this knowledge has been misunderstood, causing the appearance of erroneous ideas that are known as neuromyths. The present study considers whether specific training in psychology can help reduce belief in these…

This article focuses on rater severity and consistency and their relation to different types of rater experience over a long period of time.

To identify and address these challenges, we elicited tutors' perspectives on their work with…

The rapid growth of edge computing, 5G, and IoT technologies has led to a significant increase in distributed data, creating both opportunities and challenges for machine learning. Federated learning has emerged as a promising approach to enable collaborative model training across decentralized devices while not sharing user data. However,…

The purpose of the study was to experimentally model summation in convergent multiple control over selection-based verbal behavior. Eight undergraduate students participated. In divergent--convergent tact training, a three-choice match-to-sample task was used to establish two selection-based tacts for each of five pictorial stimuli. One textual…

This qualitative action research study investigated employee reactions, motivations, and perspectives toward employer-sponsored diversity training programs. Through a qualitative exploratory case study, this research study explored the perceptions of how a diverse sampling of people individually, negotiate identities in corporate and education…
