Behavioral skills training (BST) delivered synchronously via telecommunication (telehealth) has been shown to be effective for training mediators supporting children with autism. A limitation in the literature is that many published training protocols are evaluated under analogue or highly controlled conditions; therefore, further evaluation is…

Trust serves an important purpose in organizations composed of numerous, specialized, interdependent roles. Supporting confidence that individuals will dutifully fulfill the responsibilities of those roles without causing harm to the organization, trust enables coordinated task execution across multiple roles and facilitates information exchange…

Background: Developing treatment goals and hierarchies is fundamental to effective intervention. Despite this, interventions are often vaguely or ambiguously described, negatively impacting outcome measurement, client engagement, and team communication. THIMS (Target, Hierarchy, Ingredients, Measures, Success Criterion) is a novel intervention…

Generative drawing, or drawing-to-learn, has been studied as an effective learning strategy primarily used in science learning. However, drawing can be cognitively demanding, requiring instructional support to ensure good learning outcomes. The present meta-analysis encompassed 14 studies with 16 statistically independent comparisons between…

In a rapidly evolving technology and skill-based economy, the development and engagement in practical skills and motivation among electronic technology education students is key to their career readiness and employability. Thus, this study investigated the relationship between initial training experiences and electronic technology education…

The role of an orientation & mobility (O&M) specialist is essential to provide professional training and recommendations to promote safe, independent street crossings for people who are blind or have low vision. This article provides novel approaches to teaching crossing strategies using tactile maps to individuals with visual impairments…

Teaching Assistants (TAs) (may also be known as Learning Support Assistants or Classroom Assistants) are important members of staff within a school environment. There is guidance on the deployment of TAs; however, little is known about how these recommendations are operationalised in a school setting. The aim of this research was to explore TA…

Presentation and publication of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) studies are expected outcomes for teaching faculty in many higher education institutions. However, most faculty members don't have prior training in this area and struggle to excel in this task. At North Carolina State University (NC State), a faculty development program…

Despite the utilization of adventure therapy techniques in behavioral health disorder prevention programming, little is known about how providers become trained in adventure-based prevention practice. Additionally, limited literature examines how adventure therapy providers are trained. This exploratory qualitative study provides a starting point…

Purpose: Measurable results of efforts to teach empathy to engineering students are sparse and somewhat mixed. This study's objectives are (O1) to understand how empathy training affects students' professional development relative to other educational experiences, (O2) to track empathy changes due to training over multiple years, and (O3) to…

Purpose: Many students with communication disorders have unique social-emotional needs, yet school speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are not typically trained in how to address those needs. We developed a new training (STIRS [SLP Training to Increase Resilience in Students]) to equip elementary school SLPs to embed social-emotional learning…

Few studies assess the long-term impacts of programs for teenagers designed to foster leadership and public service. Here we contact former participants in one such program, the Champions of Caring Ambassadors Leadership Program, to see how they may have been influenced in adulthood. We find that participants remember specific aspects of the…

The United States military has encountered challenges in meeting recruitment and retention goals, during a time when college outdoor orientation programs have been reporting positive impacts on retention. This study investigated the impact of different first-year orientation program models on student sense of belonging and trust; factors linked to…

Using a 2 × 2 analog design, 138 counselors-in-training (CITs) were randomly assigned to vignettes to assess how they differently attributed blame and empathy toward a fictional client with a co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD) and posttraumatic stress disorder following a relapse. Vignettes varied by SUD (alcohol/crystal meth) and relapse…

Purpose: Technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), is transforming the way we work; however, it is yet to systemically transform learning at the workplace beyond augmentation of formal education's learning processes. This paper derives functional requirements for technologies that support workplace learning and assesses the suitability and…
