The "Train-to-Code" software was used to teach skilled observation of implementation of three types of discrete-trial programs, and improvement to procedural fidelity was assessed. Participants completed a training package that involved coding video…

This single case study examined the effects of segmented and connected phonation decoding training on improving word reading accuracy for three first-grade students who demonstrated challenges with accurate word reading and decoding skills. Visual analysis and single-case effect size calculations indicate students improved their correctly read…

The experimental study utilised a pre-test, post-test, and after-test design to assess the impact of a peer instruction teaching method on enhancing the subjective well-being of students in a seniors' university in China. A total of 118 senior students were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. Both groups received…

There is a growing need to empirically evaluate the quality of online instructional interventions at scale. In response, some online learning platforms have begun to implement rapid A/B testing of instructional interventions. In these scenarios, students participate in series of randomized experiments that evaluate problem-level interventions in…

Feedback is considered of great relevance for supporting student learning. It is therefore the focus of a significant body of theoretical work and is included in many observation frameworks for measuring teaching quality. However, little is currently known about the extent to which the theoretical and empirical knowledge of feedback from the…

Background and Context: Hour of Code is one of the largest educational campaigns implemented. It exposes millions of learners, to an hour of computer science fundamentals.
