Given the status of clinical practice and the heavy reliance on technology due to COVID-19, it is important to investigate clinical supervision practices. The purpose of this study was to determine whether immediate feedback using technology was beneficial for a university clinical setting specifically where current supervision of students is…

Purpose: This study aims to explore how teachers changed literature instruction in English language arts (ELA) classrooms following personal loss, and identifies factors influencing those changes. The author argues teachers regulated their responses to literature according to emotional rules they perceived to be associated with the teaching…

In contrast to simple feedback, which provides students with the correct answer, elaborated feedback provides an explanation of the correct answer with respect to the student's error. Elaborated feedback is thus a challenge for AI in education systems because it requires dynamic explanations, which traditionally require logical reasoning and…

Digitalization and automation of test administration, score reporting, and feedback provision have the potential to benefit large-scale and formative assessments. Many studies on automated essay scoring (AES) and feedback generation systems were published in the last decade, but few connected AES and feedback generation within a unified framework.…

Providing consistent, individualized feedback to teachers is essential for improving instruction but can be prohibitively resource intensive in most educational contexts. We develop an automated tool based on natural language processing to give teachers feedback on their uptake of student contributions, a high-leverage teaching practice that…

Lecturer-student interaction is important for practical classes in Engineering Graphics that have specific features, e.g., working with graphical documents and individual assignments. Learning Management Systems (LMS) commonly do not offer appropriate tools for related tasks. As a result, students have to process their assignments outside the LMS,…

The purpose of this study is to examine how academic coaches impact non-traditional student performance in a time-intensive online learning program for pursuing a master's degree in a public university. By adopting the analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique, we compared the academic performance of students in three courses with different numbers…

The Maturing ADL in Multinational Exercises (MADLx) project aims to design and develop a Return on Investment (ROI) analytics dashboard for use in multinational and coalition exercises. A key component of creating the dashboard was knowing the large and varied group of exercise stakeholders' requirements for learning analytics and associated…

This study examined the professional learning engagement of Texas public school teachers in the ESC-20 region while teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research questions focused on participants' perceptions of emergency remote teaching (ERT), engagement in professional learning, transformations as adult learners, and professional learning to…

The purpose of this dissertation was to examine how teachers' beliefs affect their use of formative assessment practices. I studied the teachers' values of formative assessments, as well as how they used formative assessments in the classroom. Additionally, I examined how the teachers used the formative assessment results to not only modify their…

As the number of faculty teaching online continues to grow, so has the interest in and understanding of the role of instructor interaction in the online classroom. Online education provides a unique platform in which course design and teaching are independent factors. Understanding faculty and student perceptions about the shifting role of…

This study examines whether the implementation of standards-based instruction, assessment, and feedback approaches in a middle school's English program had a positive impact on student standardized testing outcomes as seen through teacher median Student Growth Percentile scores (mSGP). After compiling and reviewing the findings of this study,…

Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) benefit from early intervention, specifically applied behavior analysis (ABA). ABA is often implemented by paraprofessionals who are known as registered behavior technicians (RBTs). For many years, educators have known the value of corrective feedback in relation to skill acquisition. In this…

Through a qualitative phenomenological design, this study explored the perceptions of teachers at private academic emotional support schools regarding the influencing factors of teacher retention for multiple years. Studies have spanned for decades attempting to understand and prevent teacher attrition in these schools. Working conditions of the…

Secondary students with specific learning disabilities often have challenges with academic engagement and performance within the general education setting. Opportunity to respond strategies, such as student response systems, have shown promise in supporting academic engagement for students without disabilities. However, there are few studies…
