Background: Previous studies indicate that a subset of children with Tourette syndrome (TS) experiences communication difficulties; however, the specific characteristics of these challenges remain underexplored. Aims: This study aimed to (1) quantify the proportion of children with TS within a North American cohort exhibiting communication…

Classical two-dimensional multiple object tracking (2D-MOT) measures the cognitive ability to track multiple moving elements in real-life-like scenarios. Stereo-three-dimensional MOT (S-3D-MOT), a more ecologically valid form of 2D-MOT, shows better tracking performance in soccer players. Its unique feature is the additional binocular and…

This paper documents the Making CT researcher-practitioner partnership, designed to support in-service elementary teachers in understanding and integrating computational thinking into their disciplinary teaching. Drawing from this collaborative work with teachers, over a sustained time, we describe the shifts in teachers' integration of CT into…

This paper explores the transformational potential of flipped blended learning in MBA education, with a focus on enhancing skill development in Marketing, Finance, and Human Resources (HR). Flipped blended learning, a pedagogical model where students engage with foundational content outside the classroom and use in-class time for deeper, applied…

This study evaluated the effectiveness of short-term study abroad programs on a frontier/rural campus, particularly in the light of promotion of internationalization efforts by educational institutions in the U.S. It measured students' intercultural competence and cultural adaptability before and after participating in a short-term study abroad…

School psychologists have the potential to improve students' reading skills by helping schools select evidence-based programs and then supporting their implementation. Blended learning offers a flexible implementation format to address long-standing challenges implementing and scaling reading programs in schools. The purpose of this study was to…

In this systematic review, we examined interventions for increasing prosocial employment skills for adolescents with emotional and/or behavioral disorders (EBDs). Many studies have focused on social skills related to employment for individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders. However, there is a paucity of research on…

The US construction industry faces significant challenges in attracting Generation Z (Gen Z) workers. This paper presents a retrospective study investigating the factors influencing Gen Z undergraduate students, currently enrolled in construction programs, to pursue a career in construction. Currently enrolled students were surveyed to identify…

Environmental pollution is a critical issue that requires students to develop strong reasoning and problem-solving skills to understand and address its complexities. However, traditional learning models are not optimal in fostering high-level thinking skills. This study aimed to determine the effect of the PBL-STEM model on deductive, inductive,…

This paper reports on the findings from a survey of the methods used by Biblical Hebrew teachers in UK universities, particularly the degree to which they incorporate some techniques characteristic of Communicative Language Teaching alongside traditional grammar-translation techniques to form best practice approaches. All teachers participating in…

Organization-wide positive behavior support (OW-PBS) is a framework for improving quality of life and preventing challenging behaviors for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This tiered PBS framework has been adapted from schools for use in disability services. Supporting people with IDD involves a variety…

This study examines the characteristics of students' arguments when they are confronted with scientific claims. A qualitative single-case study was conducted to investigate the problem. Data were collected through observations and interviews, using the convenient sampling method in a tenth-grade (n=9) class in Norway. Audio recordings captured the…

Visual-motor integration (VMI) is crucial for children's literacy development, especially in writing Chinese characters, which are more complex than alphabetic letters. The developmental trajectory of VMI and its relationship with handwriting skills across different elementary school grades remain underexplored. This study investigates the…

Purpose: Communication complexity and communicative function are important features of prelinguistic communication that are related to later language outcomes. However, little is known about how these early prelinguistic features present in young children with neurogenetic syndromes (NGS). This study aims to characterize prelinguistic complexity…

Assessments play a pivotal role in Mathematics education, serving as vital gauges of students' mathematical proficiency and informing teaching strategies. Despite calls for contextualization, some educators still rely on abstract teaching methods and decontextualized tasks. This study aims to address these concerns by designing and implementing a…
