This research study explored the perceived impacts of acculturation on first-generation immigrant teachers and their perceptions of cultural awareness, cultural competency, and cultural responsiveness. Ladson-Billings (1995) states that educators' ethnic backgrounds can profoundly impact student education. This study used acculturation as a lens…

Lecture capture technology has quickly become a common component in many classrooms and lecture halls on college campuses across the world. This quantitative study aimed to identify the effects of lecture capture and student engagement on student performance in a school of pharmacy. Student performance for this study was measured by the end of a…

Missing data are exceedingly common across a variety of disciplines, such as educational, social, and behavioral science areas. Missing not at random (MNAR) mechanism where missingness is related to unobserved data is widespread in real data and has detrimental consequence. However, the existing MNAR-based methods have potential problems such as…

Many studies use instructional designs that include two or more artifacts (digital manipulatives, tables, graphs) to support students' development of reasoning about covarying quantities. While students' forms of covariational reasoning and the designs are often the focus of these studies, the way students' interactions and transitions between…

Over the last four decades, meta-analysis has proven to be a vital analysis strategy in educational research for synthesizing research findings from different studies. When synthesizing studies in a meta-analysis, it is common to assume that the true underlying effect varies from study to study, as studies will differ in design, participants,…

The purpose of this research was to explore teacher self-efficacy among church Bible teachers from a population of two Baptist Associations--Eastern Louisiana Baptist Association and Northshore Baptist Association--located in south-southeast Louisiana. From twenty-five qualifying churches, 187 Bible teachers completed the twelve-item "Bible…

For pre-service teachers to develop learners' number sense, they need have a broad repertoire of non-standard calculation strategies. In this paper, we present an analysis of selected research literature from 2000 to 2022 on pre-service teachers' mental mathematics published in peer-reviewed journals. The results of this brief review indicate that…

Stealth assessment in game-based learning environments has demonstrated significant promise for predicting student competencies and learning outcomes through unobtrusive data capture of student gameplay interactions. However, as machine learning techniques for student competency modeling have increased in complexity, the need for substantial data…

This research examines teachers' perspectives of a summer research experience for urban science teachers at an urban university with an ongoing commitment to support under-resourced schools. The program is a collaboration between the Colleges of Engineering and Education, and was developed to support urban science teachers' understanding of…

The 'how' of teaching method varies in its effectiveness with 'what' learning outcome it intends to achieve, and for 'whom' the course is targeted. We employed a longitudinal research design to examine the effectiveness of experiential learning and case study immersion to develop entrepreneurial self-efficacy and opportunity recognition among…

Argumentation is central to science learning. Students in every domain of science should have the opportunity to develop the ability to think and act in ways associated with argumentation. When engaged in argumentation, students learn how to puzzle through problems, to see multiple ways of finding solutions, to gather and evaluate evidence on…

The aim of the research was to examine and evaluate how preservice mathematics teachers' use of manipulatives to teach mathematics. In the current research, one of the qualitative research methods, case study was used. The research was conducted with 21 preservice mathematics teachers. Ten instructional sessions with manipulatives were carried out…

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of model-based cooperative (Reading Writing Application) and individual learning methods on conceptual understandings of pre-service science teachers and to eliminate their misconceptions related to gases. For this reason, a pretest/post-test non-equivalent comparison group design was applied…
