Diagnostic assessment (DA) in language classrooms is reported to have a substantial role in providing immediate and quality feedback for remedial work that would improve learning (Alderson, Brunfaut & Harding; 2014; Hattie & Timperley, 2007; Huhta, 2008; Jang & Wagner, 2013). However, applying DA in class remains a challenge for many…

This research identifies the pedagogical transformations perceived by non-graduate professionals from developing pedagogy courses for the teaching practice. It corresponds to a quantitative study of the descriptive level framed in the empirical-analytical paradigm and the non-experimental transversal method of a deductive type. The study involved…

Historically, the least restrictive environment (LRE) is the environment that allows students who receive special education services to be with typically achieving peers to the greatest degree that is appropriate. Recently, there has been an emphasis on supporting all students during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Students have gone through…

High school graduates with language deficits often have poor emotion regulation (ER), enter the workforce unprepared to meet the emotional demands, and experience workforce outcomes that lead to a poor quality of life. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) teach ER, but little is known about ER-targeted speech-language therapy (ERSLT) for high…

Although studies in higher education have paid attention to the complexities of learning disciplinary language and discourse, little attention has been given to learning professional discourse in a second language (L2). Recent studies on language socialization have addressed this gap by focusing on L2 students' emerging communicative competence in…

Music is an experience that can cross personal and professional domains alongside cultural, gender, age and generational boundaries; it can also enhance the learning process through emotional processing and connection. This paper focuses on the learning experience of qualified clinical psychologists (CPs) working in the United Kingdom. This group…

The continuous technological development nowadays acts ancillary and supportively in student-centered learning, in both formal and informal education settings. Effective learning environments, such as the AppInventor software, could spark the students' interest and allow them to develop programming skills and strengthen their algorithmic…

While there is consensus in the science education community on the importance of crosscutting concepts (CCCs) for all students, teachers have been given limited guidance on how to integrate CCCs into science instruction. In this article, the authors propose that teachers view CCCs as resources that students use in their everyday lives to make…

During the preschool years, children develop several inter-related skills including motor skills and communication skills. In this article, we highlight several communication teaching strategies and describe how practitioners can promote communication skills of preschoolers with disabilities by providing them with multiple opportunities to…

Building on the first and second editions, this substantially revised text maintains the commitment to support field instructors in their task of educating students while also addressing current issues confronting social work field education. In addition to updating case scenarios and adding educational tools throughout the text, this edition…

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the context and delivery of early childhood education, yet little is known about its impact on exclusionary discipline (e.g., suspension, expulsion), which nationally representative evidence has shown disproportionately impacts Black boys. Using one experiment, we test how preschool providers respond to three…

A locus of the difference in meaning between distributive and collective sentences can be the quantifiers that modify their subjects. A current theoretical account of distributive and collective sentences claims that sentences with quantifiers such as "the" in English, or "los" in Spanish, in subject position and an indefinite…

Prospective teachers must have opportunities in teacher education to critically reflect on race and racism in mathematics education. Engaging preservice teachers in such conversations during methods courses can be challenging. This study uses a scenario specifically designed to encourage preservice teachers to talk about race, including their…

Because close reading and critical analysis of multiple sources is central to social studies, understanding teachers' perspectives about productive textual engagement is imperative. This comparative study explored twelve 5th through 11th-grade social studies teachers' perspectives about supporting students' textual engagement via think-aloud…

A historical review of mathematics textbooks suggests a canonical method to solving equations that teachers often see as "the" way to solve equations. In this paper, we examine data from a nationally-distributed sample of 524 secondary mathematics teachers who responded to scenario-based survey items that represent the instructional…
