A free online social annotation platform, Perusall, was incorporated into a flipped organic chemistry course sequence. The platform provides an interactive chat enhanced with social media features that facilitates student engagement with each other as they watch videos in an asynchronous format. This technology transforms how students watch…

This study demonstrates how conversation analysis can illuminate the interactional practices through which the Present-Attention-Co-construction-Extension (PACE) approach to grammar instruction, which involves a guided, inductive co-construction of grammar rules with learners, is realized in the classroom. The data consist of three whole-class…

Although a growing number of caregiver-mediated intervention models for families with children with autism are being examined in efficacy trials, few have been transferred to community implementation. Furthermore, little testing has explored implementation strategies to support caregivers' strategy use with their children. In partnership with a…

Purpose: This study attempts to explore how Chinese college students engage in face-to-face synchronous and online asynchronous interactions and examine how the two different interaction types are associated with their academic learning (learning achievement and the development of research skills), satisfaction, and their perceptions of learning…

Embodied learning pedagogy highlights the interconnections between the brain, body, and the concrete environment. As a teaching method, it provides means of engaging the physical body in multimodal learning experiences to develop the students' cognitive process. Based on this perspective, several research studies introduced different interaction…

This paper provides insights from students and the author's experiences of the move to online course delivery in the current pandemic. Key issues students identified as impacting success include: student stress/distress related to the pandemic, challenges with Wi-Fi and connectivity, students' and instructors' technical skills, and issues related…

Mealtimes have rarely been considered outside a healthy eating agenda yet may be important social contexts for children's social, emotional and moral development. Little research has examined the social value of time spent in the school lunch room. This study examined the nature of children's interactions, activities and experiences of mealtimes…

While the importance of school-to-work transitions is increasingly recognised, little research has examined the roles that gender plays in those transitions. This is a problem because of the higher rates of attrition of newcomer women engineers than newcomer men engineers. To address that gap in research, this article addresses the questions:…

This exploratory qualitative study examines teacher candidate and student interactions in response to verbal threats of harm. This study uses existing data: a single set of 16 clinical simulations and four post-simulation debriefing sessions. Participants include eight female and eight male teacher candidates (n = 16) who interact with one of six…

This study aims to investigate the effect of the Project-based Learning (PjBL) learning model and class differences based on online learning settings (synchronous, asynchronous, and mixed) on the analytical abilities of the Discovery Learning (DL), Interactive Demonstration (ID), and Inquiry Lessons (IL) models after adjusting for IQ of…

This study was conducted to examine experiences and attitudes of midwifery student tutors during scheduled class time. Sixty-one students from 2016 to 2019, who passed the gynecology and infertility course, participated in this study as student tutors and tutees. Students' experiences were investigated with a five-point Likert-type rating scale…

Teaching is a stressful job, and the teachers' stress causes psychological and physical strain as a result of being overworked and concerned. This research was done to compare occupational stress among elementary school teachers in public and private schools, as well as to identify sources of occupational stress among elementary school teachers.…

The number of students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) attending institutions of higher education continues to increase while typical accommodations provided by campus disability service offices often remain unchanged. Based on the unique characteristics associated with ASD, the need for supports and "soft accommodations" continues…

In 2009, Al Akhawayn University, a liberal arts college in Morocco, started a Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program. The question that drove my action research project was how to make writing more continuous in a WAC class. In addition to the writing assignments, weekly prompts on the discussion forum of the Learning Management System were…

The present study aimed to investigate the communicative characteristics of children with cochlear implants (CIs) and their mothers in interaction, whether and how they differ from those of mother-child dyads with normal hearing, and whether mother and child influence each other over the first year after implantation. Eighteen Italian-speaking…
