Because word problems present mathematical information through a scenario, they are language-intensive and require mathematical and reading comprehension skills to solve them. In addition, they are linguistically complex, which makes them challenging for all learners, especially multilingual learners. Given the rising number of dual-language…

We examined the relationships between student content-specific grouping and the attributes of teachers-students' interactions during online collaborative mathematical task solving using a learning analytics tool for automatic formative assessment. Such technology offloads some teachers' responsibilities regarding mathematical aspects of learning,…

Mental health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, significantly impacting various facets of daily life, including academic success. The rising prevalence of mental health conditions among tertiary students is concerning, with 42% experiencing anxiety and/or depression and 38% receiving a mental health diagnosis in the United States.…

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a useful framework designed to address diverse needs of students and has great potential for twice-exceptional (2e) students, or gifted students with disabilities. By integrating academic, behavioral, social-emotional, and collaborative components, MTSS provides targeted interventions through its tiered…

Teachers' instruction is influenced by a multitude of factors, such as state standards, curriculum materials, student needs, world events, and district or school policies. Since spring 2021, some teachers have had to consider a new factor: state policies that limit instruction about social and political topics, such as those related to race,…

Although behavioral threat assessment and management (often shortened to "threat assessment") has become widely used in US schools, no studies have systematically examined how frequently schools conduct threat assessments and how threat assessment rates vary as a function of student and school demographics. Of particular concern is that…

Due to the nature of the teaching environment, students may often develop perceptions of their lecturers' ability as mathematicians, based on the pre-prepared and well-rehearsed content they present. In reality, performing mathematical calculations and solving problems is a difficult skill, and students may compare their own experiences…

A multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate what variables may predict the student's self-perceived proficiency in mathematics. Hence, this quantitative cross-sectional survey design aimed to explore the factors predicting the student's self-perceived proficiency in mathematics using gamified instruction. Two hundred twenty-five…

DBL is a novel pedagogical approach intended to improve students' conditional knowledge and problem-solving skills by exposing them to a sequence of branching learning decisions. The DBL software provided students with ample opportunities to engage in the expert decision-making processes involved in complex problem-solving and to receive…

Purpose: Developmental language disorder (DLD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are two of the most prevalent disorders in school-age children and are likely to be co-occurring. However, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) may receive limited training regarding strategies for capitalizing on strengths and accommodating the needs…

Grounded in Indigenous core beliefs with an eye toward the future of higher education, Nebraska Indian Community College (NICC) represents a fixture in the tribal college landscape. NICC was founded in 1973, chartered by the Umonhon and Isanti nations, and created to broaden access to higher education, increase economic opportunities, and preserve…

The growing use of generative AI (GenAI) has sparked discussions regarding integrating these tools into educational settings to enrich the learning experience of teachers and students. Self-regulated learning (SRL) research is pivotal in addressing this inquiry. One prevalent manifestation of GenAI is the large-language model (LLM) chatbot,…

Purpose: This uses quantitative and qualitative methods in assessing performance and process outcomes in a team lecture hybrid (TLH) instructional design applied in a public affairs course. Design/methodology/approach: Within a non-experimental prospective design, individual and team outcomes were assessed as follows: survey of student perceptions…

Purpose: This study investigated how cooperative learning (CL) enhanced 21st century skills and knowledge to assure English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' employability. Design/methodology/approach: This mixed experimental study comprised a sample of 64 students enrolled in an EFL program at a private university in Ecuador. The experimental…

Anatomy plays a key role in veterinary training, and alternatives to traditional teaching methods, such as game-based learning and escape rooms, are emerging as innovative and effective methods. However, the effectiveness of these approaches, particularly in areas such as veterinary anatomy, remains under-researched. The aim of this study was to…
