Whilst in the United Kingdom (UK), consultation is a key function of an educational psychologist's (EP's) role, research into its core components remains limited, hindering systematic refinement across the profession. To develop a more consensus view of consultation, understanding commonalities across EP practice is likely beneficial. This study…

The new California's Bilingual Teacher Performance Expectations (BTPE), adopted in 2021, are set to be implemented during the 2023-2024 academic year. Since the approval of the Bilingual Education Act in the 1960s, bilingual education in California has navigated its -- sometimes dramatically -- swaying state policies. Being one of the most…

The management of problematic behaviors in schools is a growing challenge. Bullying and disruption negatively impact the educational community. In response, positive discipline methods are being implemented to improve the school environment. The aim of this study is to review and summarize the findings from recent research on this topic. To…

This collaborative autoethnography examines the pivotal roles that identity negotiation and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) play in advancing social justice within the framework of an adult education graduate program. Through detailed narratives from three scholars at an HBCU, this study articulates the nuanced ways in which…

Behavior-analytic interventions are empirically supported treatments for pediatric feeding disorder; however, there are a limited number of intensive feeding programs in the country, making access to services and specialized training difficult. Given the prevalence of this disorder and scarcity of in vivo training resources, clinicians would…

App-based language learning has gained attention for its potential to promote L2 learning beyond the classroom. However, few learners use L2 learning apps long enough to fully benefit from this learning method. Using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, I explored the acceptance and use of a commercially available language…

Background/purpose: This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing the forms of language avoidance strategies employed by BIPA students. The results are expected to contribute to the development of language avoidance theory in language learning within a multilingual context. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach to examine the avoidance…

Clinical practice is complex and requires a consistent assessment process to effectively navigate student evaluation. Nursing programs must ensure that assessment methods measure entry-to-practice competencies. A clear description of expectations and a consistent approach to the evaluation of student performance is required. A quality improvement…

The purpose of this study was to assess trends and potential barriers to participation within career development event (CDE) competitions hosted throughout Iowa over the course of eight years. Target data was collected following the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) procedure outlined by Fayyad, et al. (1996). The population included data…

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) in youth are prevalent and impairing, but available psychosocial treatments are difficult to access and show limited efficacy. "Prevention strategies" are interventions intended to be implemented during relative well-periods before impairment or other adverse outcomes set in and therefore help avoid…

In their efforts to meet academic standards, students often rely on supplementary resources such as private tutoring. This study investigates the relationship between private tutoring and academic performance in mathematics and science among primary school students in the Gulf States. Using data from the 2019 Trends in International Mathematics…

Background: Current education increasingly emphasises the development and significance of Critical Thinking (CT), aiming to enhance individuals' adaptability in a rapidly evolving society. However, few effective teaching methods have been identified for integrating CT into existing on-site courses. While previous studies have focused on the…

Background: People with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's Disease are at risk of speech and voice difficulties that impact volume, clarity of speech and intelligibility. Voice-assisted technology (VAT), such as Alexa, poorly recognises speech difficulties, and this often prompts people to change their speech to enable interaction. Aims:…

Background: First-year engineering mathematics courses present a critical academic challenge, often leading to a significant decline in student self-efficacy, a key predictor of retention and success. While flipped learning is a proposed solution, a lack of longitudinal research using robust comparison groups has limited our understanding of its…

Minimally verbal autistic children, or those who use fewer than 20 words, represent [approximately]30% of the autistic population and are at heightened risk for adverse outcomes in socialization, academics, independent living, and employment. While it is known that intensive intervention can enhance the communication skills of minimally verbal…
