Teachers' knowledge seems to be important for student learning, however, it is a complex issue. Therefore recent studies have emphasized the importance of examining how teachers use their knowledge in teaching situations. Previous research has found that Geography preservice teachers responded to a text vignette, an instrument that simulates a…

Context: Patient-centered care (PCC) has been widely studied in health care. Often, PCC is considered a mindset; however, there are specific behaviors to address in PCC, such as medical interviewing, exploring a patient's health literacy, and providing patient education. Much of the data specific to PCC relate to patient satisfaction rather than…

This book is crafted for both novice simulation educators embarking on their teaching careers and seasoned subject matter experts seeking to enhance the effectiveness of their simulation programs. The book draws on the effort of a novice simulation educator under the guidance of two simulation experts with over 40 years of collective experience.…

Complex competences, such as managing students' aggressive behaviour, are challenging to develop during teacher training. Recently, video-based simulations have been considered promising, yet suitable assessment instruments are limitedly available. This paper reports on the design and evaluation of a video-based assessment tool tailored to measure…

Higher education initiatives to support students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are widespread. However, there is pervasive concern within public discourse that such widening participation efforts have contributed to a 'dumbing down' of higher education. There are classed dimensions to evaluations of (dis)advantaged students' university…

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated adaptation from in-person to on-line delivery of interventions for autistic children. This article explores the potential of delivering the Sensory-based Relational Art Therapy Approach (S-BRATA) on-line through a case study based on a triadic relationship, including the therapist, a mother and her two autistic…

Collaboration analytics often focuses on assessing and monitoring individuals during collaborative problem-solving (CPS). A defining feature of CPS is the interdependence that exists between individuals when they work together -- that is, how they respond to and influence one another over time. While models that account for the impact of…

Often clinicians are interested in determining whether a subject's measurement falls within a normal range, defined as a range of values of a continuous outcome which contains some proportion (eg, 95%) of measurements from a healthy population. Several studies in the biomedical field have estimated reference ranges based on a meta-analysis of…

Any problem is a problem until a solution is designed and implemented. This paper reports on a workshop that highlights preliminary work done by the working group on Gamification in the scope of European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI), which aims to explore the possibility of developing and testing a gamified learning module on academic…

America's teaching force does not represent the children in its classrooms. The majority of public-school teachers are white women, while the majority of their students are not. The system within which U.S. educators operate is infused with racist procedures and curriculum presented through a white, western, Eurocentric, patriarchal lens that…

Background and Aim: Thailand's higher education institutions have several problems arising from demographic shifts, digital disruptions, geopolitical transformations, and environmental vulnerabilities. These circumstances call for the implementation of strategic foresight and flexible crisis management strategies, particularly in light of the…

Promoting engagement is crucial for encouraging student participation, interest, and learning in mathematics. Student engagement has been conceptualized as interrelated types comprising behavioural, emotional, and cognitive characteristics. Cognitive engagement, our focus in this paper, relates to students' psychological investment in learning and…

Many students in vocational education and training (VET) have difficulties with reading and writing. To date, there is little research on whether and how the development of VET students' writing skills may benefit from teaching approaches that integrate reading and writing. This study reports results from a semester-long intervention study…

This study explores the usefulness of covariates on equating test scores from nonequivalent test groups. The covariates are captured by an estimated propensity score, which is used as a proxy for latent ability to balance the test groups. The objective is to assess the sensitivity of the equated scores to various misspecifications in the…

Despite the high incidence of sexual assault, doubt about allegations is common. Previous research suggests that victims expressing positive or no emotion are perceived as less credible than those expressing negative emotions. However, little is known about which specific negative emotional expressions contribute to credibility in this context. In…
