In today's global economy, the origin of the food we eat is becoming more and more difficult to identify. Verifying the authenticity of products to protect supply chains is a complicated problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Chemical authentication of foodstuffs often includes a mass spectrometer detector; however, they are costly…

Children with complex communication needs (CCN) who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) often need more time to process and respond when communicating with others. This study employed a survival analysis approach exploring child response-time patterns following different communication opportunities for young children with CCN who…

The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous upheaval in schooling. In addition to its devasting effects on students' academic development, the disruptions to schooling had important consequences for researchers conducting effectiveness studies on educational programs during this era. Given the likelihood of future large-scale disruptions, it is…

This study employed a survival analysis approach exploring child response-time patterns following different communication opportunities for young children with CCN who…

The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of how secondary teachers conceptualize the relationships between mathematical modeling and problem solving. Eight secondary teachers participated in semi-structured, think-aloud individual interviews. Some conceptualizations include (a) modeling and problem solving are two distinct processes; (b)…

The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore teachers' and administrators' perceptions of test score pollution deriving from COVID-19-related issues that may affect students' test scores on state-mandated standardized tests for grades six through 12 in a state along the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Four research…

Student misbehaviour presents a barrier to the successful education of students and the ability for teachers to be most effective in their classroom. The current approaches being utilized to manage behaviour in classrooms range from punitive to functional. To move school educators away from punitive measures and towards a functional view of…

Contribution: This study systematically developed an educational learning framework titled "Real-world problem-posing strategy with engineering problem-solving" to facilitate engineering college students' learning. This study evaluated the effect of the developed learning framework on engineering college students' engineering…

Research in psychology and education tend to use large-N group designs that necessitate reporting of mean measures analyzed mostly with null hypothesis statistical testing (NHST), but sometimes with Bayesian, or the estimation approaches in inferential statistics. These approaches all render the average person or student as the the putative…

Human bodies vary widely: height, weight, blood volume, handedness, strength, and variations from disabilities, trauma, genetics, etc. Engineers must be trained to include human variance when designing human-interactive systems. Typically, this is not incorporated into mathematical and modeling focused courses. In the spring of 2019, one of three…

A laboratory experiment was designed to provide students with an introduction to byproduct valorization by producing an analogue of biodiesel (fatty acid ethyl esters, FAEE) via lipid extraction and subsequent transesterification from spent coffee grounds (SCG). Valorization is the process of upgrading underutilized or discarded wastes or…

Quality in research supervision is one of the main concerns among the institutions and stakeholders today especially those involved in open and distance learning (ODL). This research examined the supervision experiences of postgraduate research candidates during different stages of research at the biggest open and distance learning institution of…

This research aims to describes (1) problems in planning and organizing (2) actualization of curriculum planning updates, (3) actualization of curriculum curriculum organization descriptions, (4) "Gethok Tular" word of mouth strategy, (5) description of low self-esteem or low self-esteem strategies. "Andhab Asor". The method…

This study was conducted to determine the description of learning with the peer tutor method implemented through situation-based learning. The urgency of this study is to find out the problem posing ability of elementary school students as an intellectual skill that students must possess to support future competition. From the existing problems,…

Problem-based learning (PBL) can take many different shapes but has as a common denominator that it builds on the principles of collaborative, constructive, contextual, and self-directed learning. Systematic review approaches that aim to provide insight in what features make PBL work generally fall short, as they tend to disregard the influential…
