Background: Dialogic reading (DR) is an effective shared reading technique based on the prompts-evaluate-expand-repeat (PEER) sequence, which fosters children's language development. This study examines the effects of its elements by comparing shared reading with prompts with minimal feedback (PMF) and PEER. Methods: This study included 364…

Augmented reality (AR) is a new emerging technology that can improve the learning experience while making learning interesting and keeping students' attention. Schools and higher education have already implemented AR in the teaching and learning process to convey information more effectively. However, there is a lack of information about AR for…

The present study explored strategies teachers use to help people with ASD develop sociosexual skills for empathy expression. Previous research found the curriculum for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) does not always include strategies to teach the socio-sexual skills required for empathy expression. This qualitative descriptive study…

This document records testimony from a hearing before the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, Secondary Education of the Committee on Education and the Workforce about preparing students for success in the skills-based economy. Opening statements were presented by: (1) Honorable Aaron Bean, Chairman, Subcommittee on Early Childhood,…

Being able to understand, interpret, and critically evaluate data is necessary for all individuals in our society. Using the PreK-12 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education-II (GAISE-II; Bargagliotti et al., 2020) curriculum framework, the current paper outlines five evidence-based recommendations that teachers can use to…

Children's approaches to learning (AtL) are widely recognized as a critical predictor of educational outcomes, especially in early childhood. Nevertheless, there remains a dearth of understanding regarding the dimensionality of AtL, the reciprocal dynamics between AtL and learning outcomes, and how AtL operates in non-Western contexts. This paper…

This case study investigates the effectiveness of paraphrasing guidelines taught in a graduate academic and research writing class at a Thai university. It evaluates the use of paraphrasing strategies, as taught through the guidelines, by students when paraphrasing English-language sources. The assessment considers the students' utilization of…

Kazakhstan experienced significant modifications to its education system in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, involving widespread school closures in the 18 months between March 2020 and September 2021. The purpose of this study is to estimate the loss of learning for seven different subjects due to the pandemic restrictions. Based on a large…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the structured collaboration guided by a modified Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) framework between mainstream and emergent bilingual and multilingual (EBM) teachers can support mainstream teachers in increasing their self-efficacy in serving EBM students in class. This study employed…

In the contemporary educational landscape, the significance of soft skills development, particularly in secondary education, garnered little attention. This study explored the critical role of soft skills, focusing on communication, feedback, collaboration, media literacy, and critical thinking in career and higher education. The central theme was…

This study determined the test-retest reliability of 10 sensorimotor skills assessed by the Senaptec Sensory Station in a population of 100 (80 female, age = 21.6 ± 2.8 years) college-aged individuals (18-30 years). Separate intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) with a two-way mixed-effects model, absolute agreement, and 95% confidence…

Teaching requires attention to individual student needs by providing both adequate challenge and sufficient support to help students successfully gain academic skills (Shurr et al., 2019). The learning stages framework divides typical learning into four distinct stages: acquisition, fluency, maintenance, and generalization (Collins, 2012; Haring…

Mathematical reasoning, a fundamental aspect of human cognition, poses significant challenges for artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Despite recent advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs), AI's ability to replicate human-like reasoning, generalization, and efficiency remains an ongoing research…

Many novice teachers learn to teach "on the job," leading to burnout and attrition among teachers and negative outcomes for students in the long term. Preservice teacher education is tasked with optimizing teacher readiness, but there is a lack of causal evidence regarding effective ways to prepare new teachers. In this paper, we use a…
