Peer assessment has been proven to improve learning for both the observer and the observed. One dimension of peer assessment that has been given little attention in the context of physical education teacher education (PETE) is the tension that exists when peers give feedback on each other's work. In this paper, we report on Swedish preservice…

Simulation has been recognized for its ability to develop competency-level skills and as a replacement for some introductory fieldwork (FW) hours. This study explored how occupational therapy competency-related skills developed over sequential in-person simulations across health practice contexts during Level 1 FW. Entry-to-practice occupational…

Mobile learning has ushered in a transformative era in education, compelling educational institutions to reimagine their pedagogical approaches. This shift is particularly evident in teacher training programs, where mobile learning is increasingly integrated into traditional education. The success of these integrated systems hinges on educators'…

This teaching note describes the use of a pilot peer feedback assignment in an undergraduate BSW Interviewing Skills Course. Two cohorts of students over two years (n = 47) answered a brief questionnaire and/or participated in a small focus group inquiring about their experience of this assignment and its impact on their learning. Student…

The learning environment is intertwined with affective learning and significantly influences the overall student learning experience. The authors introduce the concept of the meta-space, which they define as the dynamic spaces that exist between the traditional, formal containers in which learning typically occurs. Using qualitative and…

After attempting to reach full implementation of healthy and functioning Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 behavioral systems at its elementary schools through years of training and coaching, Springfield Public Schools (SPS) found it necessary to strategically invest district resources in its PBIS efforts by targeting Tier 2 and initial Tier 3 systems…

Purpose: This paper aims to present a practical guide for designing effective synchronous online teaching to support student engagement. Design/methodology/approach: This practical guide was developed by drawing insights from literature and our own practical experiences. Findings: This paper developed BEST principles (i.e., Building positive…

This article describes a novel approach of integrating writing center professionals into online EdD dissertation committees to enhance student success and writing proficiency. Departing from the traditional "master-apprentice" model of doctoral studies, the study explores the rationale behind restructuring dissertation committees to…

The purpose of this study was to explore how an intergenerational group of music students (ages 16-71) mentored each other in an online jazz improvisation course. This study is framed in Dewey's notion of students sharing their knowledge and experiences with the teacher as facilitator and the following research questions guided this investigation:…

Traditional music education has prioritised external over internal performance aims, leading some learners to prioritise external motivations. I facilitated a workshop series for participants who experienced music performance anxiety when improvising, to examine if free improvisation coupled with expressive art response could cultivate…

In the context of rapid urbanization, the school merger policy has been widely implemented in rural China since the early twenty-first century, generating significant augment in the demand for boarding at school. Using 738 samples from a national sample database (China Family Panel Studies) in 2016 and 2018, this exploratory study employed a…

Response to intervention (RTI) is a valuable framework for providing effective and equitable educational opportunities to all students; however, recent research indicates that RTI programs are not achieving their potential for promoting student learning. As schools develop, implement, and sustain RTI systems, they would benefit from the addition…

We live in an era of escalating, tech-fueled change. Our jobs and the skills we need to work and thrive are constantly evolving, and those who can't keep up risk falling behind. That's where college comes in. In "Mindset Matters," Daniel R. Porterfield advances a powerful new argument about the value of residential undergraduate…

Feedback is essential in learning. The emerging concept of feedback literacy underscores the skills students require for effective use of feedback. This highlights students' responsibilities in the feedback process. Yet, there is currently a lack of mechanisms to understand how students make sense of feedback and whether they act on it. This gap…

This article is the first to examine the use of screen-capture video feedback on student assignments on a social science degree at a British university. It is based on qualitative, focus group, research with students who received one or more video recordings on their academic work over the period 2019-2021. The article first places video feedback…
