Use of high-probability request sequences is a low-intensity intervention for increasing student compliance. There are several subtleties in implementing high-probability request sequences that make the process more complex. Review of supporting research raises concerns about how well the intervention translates into practice. This article…

Purpose: Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience challenges with facial emotion recognition (FER), which may exacerbate social difficulties in ASD. Few studies have examined whether FER can be experimentally manipulated and improved for autistic people. This study utilized a randomized controlled trial design to examine…

Most students who begin at a community college do not complete their desired credential. Many students fail to graduate due to various barriers other than their academic performance. To encourage previously successful non-completers to re-enroll and eventually graduate, a growing number of community colleges have implemented re-enrollment…

The global teacher shortage is reaching critical levels, with many educators leaving the field early and schools struggling to fill vacancies. Key aspects of teacher attrition include inadequate compensation, poor working conditions, and barriers facing potential educators, along with impacts on student achievement and school operations.…

In recent years, countries including the UK and USA have seen advancements in the use of Randomised Controlled Trials in education, progress that has not been mirrored in Ireland. Ireland does not have a strong tradition of using experimental or quasi-experimental evaluation designs for monitoring and evaluation of education policy despite…

This paper suggested that one way that ongoing issues of equity and justice in outdoor adventure education (OAE) is prioritized is through the critical renovation of sense of place (SOP) curriculum.

Adult learners make a solid contribution to their programme of study, bringing collective real-world experiences to their new learning situation. However, since many undergraduate programmes have mathematical content, this may give rise to mathematics anxiety on the part of the adult learner. A combination of factors contributes to mathematics…

Background: Given the importance of school connectedness for healthy adolescent development, this scoping review aimed to identify and describe intervention strategies used to increase school connectedness among adolescents. Methods: Guided by the Arksey and O'Malley framework, we conducted a scoping review of school-based intervention studies…

Millions of young children attend childcare settings in the United States and the quality of these early childhood settings, such as the activities children engage in and how teachers interact with children, matter for children's development. This study was designed to test the impacts of a tech-enabled observation and feedback system focused on…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently leading an industrial revolution in most aspects of human life, and education is no exception. With the increasing ratio of students to faculty, AI could be an extremely beneficial tool for individual mentoring; for example, for cases of dropout and for student retention. While many models have already…

Inadequate consideration of course workload in undergraduate students' course selections has contributed to adverse academic outcomes. At the same time, credit hours, the default institutional metric to convey time-based course workload to students, has been shown to capture students' experienced workload insufficiently. Recent research documents…

The current work introduces the concept of AI-trap questions as a tool for maintaining academic integrity in online courses. AI-trap questions are assessment tools designed to detect cheating by exploiting generative AI's tendency to provide answers that are common rather than context-specific. This paper explores theoretical perspectives of…

Background/purpose: It is an urgent necessity to identify geometric conceptual errors among students at different levels. These errors cannot be ignored, as they hinder the learning of related concepts. Teachers need to be aware of these errors, which are often embedded in students' cognitive structures, so that they can work on eliminating them…

Background: Knowledge about oral health becomes essential, especially during school years when the prevalence of dental problems is high. The objective was to assess whether an educational intervention improves teachers' knowledge of oral health.
