We have long known that some teachers are much more effective than others. Highly effective teachers and their students thrive in ways that have been hard to replicate on a large and consistent scale. In this paper, we read across studies to identify actionable lessons about what it will take to staff all schools with highly effective educators…

Background/purpose: The introduction of ChatGPT has rapidly transformed various aspects of life. It has raised concerns about its impact on current jobs, especially in education. The study aims to examine the factors that may influence university lecturers' intention to adopt ChatGPT in their work. Materials/methods: This study uses the Unified…

While developmental dyslexia has been extensively studied in children, research on adults is still rather limited. This paper aims to bridge the gap in existing research by presenting the findings of a study that examined the reading and spelling skills of adults with dyslexia and assessed the effectiveness of a linguistic intervention designed to…

Authentic assessment is often narrowly framed as tasks that mirror workplace tasks, resulting in on overemphasis on generic workplace skills at the expense of disciplinary knowledge. We place disciplinary knowledge at the heart of authentic assessment and explore how authentic assessment across a programme can contribute to an authentic view of…

Anecdotal evidence suggests that students with quantitative business majors (e.g., finance, accounting, data analytics, economics) outperform students from less quantitatively rigorous majors (e.g., management, human resource management, marketing) on a business simulation game at a mid-sized, southeastern, public, AACSB accredited university. We…

The COVID-19 pandemic required in-person interventions to be adapted for remote delivery all over the globe. In South Africa, an in-person cascaded task-sharing naturalistic developmental behavioural intervention was adapted for telehealth delivery in a low-resource context. Here we describe the adaptations made (the 'what') and reasons for…

Generative artificial intelligence brings opportunities and unique challenges to nontraditional higher education students, stemming, in part, from the experience of the digital divide. Providing access and practice is critical to bridge this divide and equip students with needed digital competencies. This mixed-methods study investigated how…

This paper examines the transformative potential of performance-based assessment (PBA) in mathematics education across Sub-Saharan Africa when integrated with Ubuntu philosophy.

The Center for Research and Reform in Education (CRRE) at Johns Hopkins University contracted with the Memphis Education Fund to obtain and disseminate evidence regarding Peer Power's (PP) implementation and impact of their program in six Memphis area charter middle and high schools. This preliminary report synthesizes comprehensive descriptive…

This experimental study explores whether feedback in the form of standards helps students in giving more accurate performance estimates not only on current tasks but also on new, similar tasks and whether performance level influences the effect of standards. We provided 122 first-year psychology students with seven texts that contained key terms.…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify, through the preparation of a theoretical framework, the drivers able to highlight the relationships between universities and stakeholders in the area of higher education. It also intends to stress the importance of intellectual capital (IC) regarding its contribution to create the quality of…

Background: Due to deficits in adaptive and cognitive functioning, productivity may pose challenges for individuals with intellectual disability in the workplace. Method: Using a changing-criterion embedded in a multiple baseline across participants design, we examined the effects of differential reinforcement of high rates of behaviour (DRH) on…

This article is an empirical reflection on interdisciplinary research. Surveying theories of performance and performativity, it proposes performance as a heuristic tool to breach and bridge the divide between Literature and Culture. The scriptocentricism of academia that reiterates the imperialist ideals and ideas of knowledge, history, and…

To assess the acute effect of strength exercises combined with EMS on blood flow and muscle stiffness using SMI and SWE. This prospective study included 20 participants. Subjects were divided into groups base on calisthenics strength training with EMS and without EMS. Rectus femoris (RF) blood flow was measured at rest and post-exercise with the…

This research investigates the effects of rater experience on performance ratings in language testing using a systematic review of studies published from 1985 to 2017. Based on a comprehensive literature search of 14 databases, we identified sixteen relevant papers. With these we conducted a narrative review to conceptualize a theoretical…
