This study was carried out to examine picture books prepared for children in the 3-6 age group in terms of supporting emotion regulation skills. The sample group of the study consists of 113 domestic or translated children's picture books published in Türkiye between 2010 and 2022, selected using the criterion sampling method. The data were…

Previous research has shown that contingent vocal imitation has a reinforcing effect on vocalizations emitted by children. Nevertheless, the precise contingencies that have a reinforcing effect on vocalizations remain unclear. This study examined the effects of five conditions (contingent vocal imitation, contingent interaction, noncontingent…

Teacher leaders (TLs) play a pivotal role in monitoring and fostering teacher awareness to enhance the quality of teaching practices, particularly in domains like mathematics education. Within the mathematics curriculum across various nations, this monitoring effort has been channelled towards nurturing crucial competencies such as argumentation…

Compared with the more physically fragile extremely/very preterm children (E/VPT), moderate-to-late preterm (MLPT) children--the large majority of preterm births--are underrepresented in research. This gap persists despite evidence that MLPT children exhibit more difficulties than full-term peers in certain domains. This scoping review surveys the…

This study tests a moderate mediation model and clarifies the mechanisms linking screen exposure to children's socioemotional competence. The objective is to examine if children's emotional ability mediates the relationship between screen exposure and socioemotional competence, and if parental media mediation moderates this pathway. Using…

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…

Experts have cautioned against the use of college student ratings of instruction (SRIs) in making high stakes decisions for faculty members, such as compensation and tenure, due to extraneous variables that bias student responses. This practice is especially pernicious for minoritized faculty members, with evidence to suggest student feedback to…

Purpose: Open innovation is a critical source of competitive differentiation within the hospitality industry. However, open innovation remains underexplored in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and there is a dearth of knowledge about open innovation processes and mechanisms in the hospitality industry. This study aims to address this lacuna by…

During COVID-19, distance learning has given students around the world unforeseen challenges, including the way their learning is being assessed. Assessment for learning (AfL) can contribute to the development of students' strategies to meet unknown challenges as lifelong learners. The purpose of AfL is to inform learning, and it can play a…

This article delves into student course feedback using publicly available data from the University of North Texas. It examines factors influencing elevated student course evaluation ratings in the Information Technology and Decision Sciences department. The study reveals a positive relationship between higher response rates and better evaluation…

Acquiring technological literacy and acceptance has a significant influence on academic emotion regulation (AER), academic resilience (AR), willingness to communicate (WTC), and academic enjoyment (AE), which are crucial for the success of university students. However, this area has not been adequately explored in research, particularly in the…

Purpose: This study reports the development, refinement, and exploration of the psychometric properties of the Vanderbilt Responses to Your Child's Speech (VRYCS) rating scale, a novel measure designed to assess parents' self-perceived responses to the speech of their children who stutter (CWS). Method: Parents of 214 young (ages…

This study examines teachers' justifications for their student sorting decisions in two Israeli secondary schools. Combining descriptive statistics and micro-ethnographic discourse analysis of 281 audio-recorded discussions, the study offers a new perspective on tracking's multiple social and organizational functions: providing students' needs,…

To address response style or bias in rating scales, forced-choice items are often used to request that respondents rank their attitudes or preferences among a limited set of options. The rating scales used by raters to render judgments on ratees' performance also contribute to rater bias or errors; consequently, forced-choice items have recently…

This article reports on the development and piloting of a German version of a concept test to assess students' conceptual knowledge of density. The concept test was administered in paper-pencil format to 222 German secondary school students as a post-test after instruction in all relevant concepts of density. We provide a psychometric…
