Evaluation of teacher behaviour from the perspective of students is beneficial to higher education institutions striving to improve student engagement. This article aims to identify and close the gaps in teacher behaviour to improve student engagement in higher education. Through a survey of 838 students in four higher education institutions in…

Students' perceptions of assessment in higher education (HE) are critical, since such perceptions can enhance or diminish student motivation for learning. Despite this, research on students' perceptions of assessment in HE is scarce. To initiate a new agenda in this area, the present study explored Iranian doctoral students' (N = 16) perceptions…

Using an implementation science framework, this study examines the impact of a multicomponent professional development (PD) approach implemented by internal peer coaches on early intervention providers' use of Family Guided Routines-Based Intervention. The experimental study used a single-case multiple baseline design across participants,…

This study examined the impact of a multi-component coaching process on Kenyan school professional's facilitation of the Prevent Teach Reinforce for Young Children (PTR-YC) model and its corresponding effects on student challenging behavior in an early childhood education setting in Nairobi, Kenya. Three school professionals were trained to…

The basic aim of the research at hand was to investigate the effects of conflict management styles of school principals on teachers' job performance. To meet the major objective of the study, the targeted population was comprised of public sector secondary schools in the Punjab province. As the population was most scattered so the researchers used…

Existing research indicates that underrepresented-in-STEM racially minoritized students with similar academic preparation are less likely than their counterparts to persist in STEM, raising the question of factors that may contribute to racial disparities in STEM participation beyond academic preparation. We extend the current literature by first…

Purpose: This scoping review discusses how bug-in-ear (BIE) technology has been used to coach teachers and pre-service teachers in special education, general education and initial teacher education (ITE). The purpose of the review is to identify the range of practices in implementing BIE technology and the potential impacts on teachers, learners,…

Given the importance of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for improving outcomes for students with disabilities, it is key that preservice special education teachers have the opportunity to implement EBPs with high levels of fidelity during their teacher preparation program. For this reason, the authors conducted a systematic review of the…

A neuropsychologist describes a child's performance on a measure of short-term verbal memory as falling in the low average range. Another neuropsychologist reports that a child scored in the below average range. A third neuropsychologist describes a child's performance as mildly impaired. Yet, all three are referring to the same score on the same…

Performance assessments attempt to provide a practical and authentic demonstration of students' learning. Despite growing investments in performance assessments by states, as well as researchers' theorized value of this type of assessment, the field has not developed a measure of assessment literacy specific to performance assessments that has…

In an inquiry-based discussion, learners take responsibility for their learning, create meaning in a group, and learn from the group. In a physical classroom, instructors can model moderator and discussant skills and have learners practice those skills in the presence of the instructor. Using a stop-action approach, instructors can stop the…

New studies show that the instructional effectiveness of preservice candidates and their cooperating teachers are positively related. However, we neither know if these relationships are causal nor, assuming they are, if it is possible to significantly increase the instructional effectiveness of the cooperating teacher pool. In this study, we…

How do children reason about academic performance across development? A classic view suggests children's intuitive theories in this domain undergo qualitative changes. According to this view, older children and adults consider both effort and skill as sources of performance (i.e., a "performance = effort + skill" theory), but younger…

More and more governments have started to introduce elements of performance in the funding mechanisms for their higher education institutions. An example is a performance agreement: a contract signed between the funding authority and an individual higher education provider. In the Netherlands, a policy experiment involving performance agreements…
