The aim of this pilot study was to develop, practice, and evaluate learning environments that are supposed to foster early mathematical reasoning in kindergarten. The participating kindergarten teachers attended a multi-part PD program. The research focused on the development of their teaching skills, and their reasoning practice over one school…

Essentially, supervision is the act of looking over the work of another person who absences full knowledge of what they are doing, or the concept at hand. The problem of developing PhD students research skills in institutes has become one of the most critical issues related to research institutes, where interest in the scientist's personality…

The goal of this study was to examine differences in student learning outcomes and motivation over time as a function of scenario-based e-learning (SBeL) and feedback types (elaborative and intrinsic) as well as the interaction between these two variables. Research Question One asked if there was a statistically significant main effect of…

The need for evidence-based decision-making is more salient than ever before, demanding a deeper knowledge of the relationship between research and practice but also of the levers that can enable stronger ties. Knowledge brokers are a promising means for leveraging indirect relationships between research and practice, but to date are understudied…

This series of three studies identified an experimental research gap in the field of deafblindness. Study 1, a descriptive study, identified types of articles published, and research designs used, in 37 peer-reviewed special education journals. A total of 4,854 articles published from 2012 through 2017 were examined to determine types of articles…

In today's complex world, the acquisition of research skills is considered an important goal in education. Consequently, there is a growing body of literature that recognizes the value of well-designed learning environments for effectively supporting the development of this complex set of skills. However, a clear consensus on how these research…

Offering secondary math educators an innovative holistic and process-orientated approach for implementing nonroutine problems into their curriculum, this book defines and establishes practical strategies to develop students' problem-solving skills. The text focuses on the process skills necessary to solve nonroutine problems in mathematics and…

Difficulty transitioning from school to higher education or work remains one of the key barriers facing girls in disadvantaged contexts, with far-reaching implications for their futures and wellbeing. In this report, the first in a three-year research project on girls' transitions into higher education or work, we seek to understand the challenges…

Nowadays, hardly anyone working in the field of foreign language teaching and learning can imagine life without machine translation (MT) tools. Thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, MT now most widely assumes a new form, the so-called Neural Machine Translation (NMT), which offers the potential for a wide application in…

Higher education is expected to contribute to graduates becoming active citizens of democratic societies. Still, little is known about how heterogeneities within higher education are connected to political participation. This study centres on differences in the type of institution, kind of degree and field of study and their relationship with…

This study investigates community college skills builders--students who enroll for a short time, take courses concentrated in career and technical education (CTE), are highly successful in their coursework, but typically leave college without a postsecondary credential. Drawing on administrative data from Colorado, Ohio, Michigan, and California,…

This research explored the experiences of supervisors of educational psychologists (EPs) and trainee EPs (TEPs), using an increase in virtual methods of supervision, first undertaken during the Covid-19 restrictions within one Local Authority (LA) in England. Eleven supervisors in different roles, with varying lengths of experience, were…

This mixed-methods study attempts to explore the effects of TBLT on the development of Iranian high school students' writing skills. To this end, two entire classes were selected in Shahed high school in Borujerd City, Iran. The groups went through pre-test, intervention, post-test, and delayed post-test procedures. In addition, using a classroom…

Teachers are required to use evidence-based practices while teaching their students with autism spectrum disorder. However, there is considerable research suggesting that they need professional development (PD) to use evidence-based practices. Therefore, research needs to search for effective and efficient PD alternatives have arisen nearly during…
