Mixed reality simulations such as TeachLivE and Mursion have been increasingly utilised to prepare teachers for inclusive classrooms. The use of mixed reality simulations, which combine elements of both virtual and augmented reality, offers immersive and interactive experiences that can enhance teacher training in various ways. These simulations…

Identification of subgroups of youth who differ in their involvement in peer aggression and victimization has received considerable attention in the literature. Most prior studies have identified subgroups based on self- or peer reports, used cutoff scores rather than empirical approaches, and focused on elementary school students despite evidence…

Teachers' classroom communication behaviours play a significant role in students' academic performance and behaviours. However, insufficient research exists on the mediating impact of English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' clarity and credibility on their students' willingness to attend classes (WTAC) mediated by AI tools, to date. To fill…

The purpose of this discussion guide is to support SEAs and local education agencies (LEAs) in states with assessment-related State-Identified Measurable Results (SiMRs) in communicating assessment data in ways that are useful to stakeholders, and in improving data literacy among stakeholders so they can meaningfully participate in key State…

Special educators who work with students with significant behavior support needs require professional development opportunities that provide practice-based professional development and create the social support inherent in communities of practice. We outline a practice-based professional development model with follow-up sessions using the U.S.…

As AI technologies become increasingly integrated into education, this research investigates how students react to AI-generated versus human feedback in teamwork skills assessment. In Study 1, 108 students completed a virtual teamwork simulation and received assessment feedback framed as either AI- or human-generated. Students showed a clear…

College students training to become service professionals need authentic and collaborative learning experiences regardless of hearing status. This case study examines a classroom experience created by educators in Emergency Management at the University of Central Missouri and Gallaudet University's Social Work and International Development…

This study examines the linguistic resources by which foreign language (L2) learners express their ideological positions in online discussions taking place in a telecollaborative encounter during one semester. More specifically, the study attempts to decipher how L2 learners discuss and argue their points of view regarding their first culture,…

Purpose: This study compared the performance of three amplification devices hypothesized to improve speech communication in individuals with hypophonia (HP), as well as to identify individuals' device preferences. Method: Twenty-two individuals with HP and their primary communication partners participated in a cross-over design study comparing…

Teachers have often relied on a dialogic style in their classrooms--utilizing dialogue and questioning techniques to develop student comprehension, probe for misunderstandings or misapprehensions, and provide "real-time" opportunities for the construction of knowledge and problem-solving. Effective teachers can use these techniques to…

This study extends prior research by investigating the relationship of synchronous, one-on-one academic coaching with program completion, comparing a random sample of students who participated in academic coaching to a matched sample of students who did not receive academic coaching in fully online graduate courses. The findings indicate that a…

The purpose of this study was to survey secondary band and orchestra teachers (N = 436) in Colorado and Indiana regarding their self-reported immediacy behaviors, ensemble setups, and use of classroom space when teaching. Immediacy "refers to nonverbal teacher behaviors which increase nonverbal interaction with students and which communicate…

Children and adults with autism spectrum disorder are less accurate in facial emotion recognition, which is thought to contribute to impairment in social functioning. Although many interventions have been developed to improve facial emotion recognition, there is no consensus on how to best measure facial emotion recognition in people with autism…

Many educators are divided about the benefits of online teaching and learning, especially in the current COVID-19 pandemic when such instruction is necessary and often accompanied by insufficient preparation. It is not surprising, therefore, that many of us who teach English language learners and train pre-service teachers find ourselves in a…

There is a substantial body of knowledge on the importance of language for learning mathematics and the importance of attending to the pupils' strategies in the meaning-making process. In this Norwegian case study, I investigate a skilled teacher's communication while scaffolding 18 pupils' work in Year 2-4 while working in small groups with…
