Background/Context: Current course-taking plans for high school students are often not optimized to support every student's success in math. Since math course-taking can influence important outcomes (e.g., math achievement, college enrollment), and these effects may vary by students' characteristics (Byun et al., 2015), it is crucial to develop…

As artificial intelligence becomes more widespread, tools such as GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and Google Gemini are also increasingly used as additional resources to help parents understand dyslexia. However, the validity and precision of these instruments have not been studied well. This cross-sectional study assessed ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4, and Gemini on…

A positive teacher-student relationship has been found to affect students' attitudes toward bullying, and in turn, their engagement in bullying behavior. However, no investigation has been conducted to explore whether the teacher-student relationship influences teachers' attitudes with respect to bullying. The aim of this study was to examine…

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and social validity of a training and coaching intervention for Chinese special education teachers implementing trial-based functional analysis (TBFA).

Children who struggle with writing are a heterogeneous group and may experience difficulties in a range of domains, including spelling, reading, and oral language. These difficulties are reflected in their writing and may influence their responsiveness to writing interventions. The effectiveness of a targeted sentence-combining intervention to…

Previous simulation studies of randomization tests applied in single-case educational intervention research contexts have typically focused on A-to-B phase changes in means/levels. In the present simulation study, we report the results of two multiple-baseline investigations, one targeting between-phase changes in slopes/trends and the other…

We investigated the effectiveness of a 5-week wellness group curriculum for counselors-in-training (N = 60). A repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance was conducted to evaluate whether the curriculum positively affected perceived wellness among participants. The results showed statistically significant differences in scores, indicating…
