This study explored the social-cognitive profile of 173 adults referred for an autism assessment. We considered key dimensional traits (autism, empathy and systemising) to understand social cognition in adults diagnosed with an autism spectrum condition compared with those who were referred for, but did not receive a diagnosis. There were no…

Equating and scaling in the context of small sample exams, such as credentialing exams for highly specialized professions, has received increased attention in recent research.

The current study investigated how ready higher education students were for emergency remote teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic and how this influenced their socio-emotional perceptions. Results of N = 1,826 higher education students indicate that they seem to be ready for digital learning. A k-means cluster analysis revealed two groups of…

In this study, the predictive effect of school burnout in secondary education students on the attitude towards the Turkish language and literature lesson was investigated. School burnout is considered as one of the important problems that are thought to negatively affect student life in recent years. The study group of the research consists of 530…

These are the appendixes for the report, "What Tools Have States Developed or Adapted to Assess Schools' Implementation of a Multi-Tiered System of Supports/Response to Intervention Framework?" Most states are using a multi -tiered system of supports (MTSS) or response to intervention (RTI) framework for improving the quality of…

In order to maintain the integrity of the counseling profession and protect clients from potential harm, counselor educators must engage in appropriate gatekeeping practices.
