Korsakova, Ekaterina; Sokolovskaya, Olga; Minakova, Daria; Gavronskaya, Yulia; Maksimenko, Nadezhda; Kurushkin, Mikhail – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The global pandemic complicated both learning chemistry and, importantly, preparation for examinations. One of the problems which students face is the lack of teachers' attention, whereas the implementation of such distance learning technology as a chatbot represents one possible solution. The Chemist Bot was created specifically to help Russian…

McShea, Lynzee; Giles, Karen; Murphy, Ashley; Ling, Jonathan – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Background: Annual health checks in primary care include hearing assessment, though current guidance recommends subjective assessment only. Previous studies suggest this is inadequate and recommend objective alternatives such as hearing screening. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of hearing screening and examine the last recorded annual…

Walton, Jennifer R.; Martens, Marilee A.; Moore-Clingenpeel, Melissa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study examined if listening to music will improve the accuracy of blood pressure (BP) readings in children with Williams syndrome (WS). Fifty-two participants (7-12 years) were randomly assigned to a music or non-music group. BPs were obtained at two time points. There was a significant decrease in both systolic and diastolic BP from Time 1…

In two studies, we used the Gottschaldt's Hidden Figure Test (GHFT) for assessing figure disembedding ability in children aged 7-11. Study 1 demonstrated in a large sample of typically developing children that GHFT accuracy and time scores differed across age groups, without sex and socioeconomic differences. Thus, we provided normative data only…

Wanna, Wendiyfraw – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2022
In order to have a better understanding of the nature of reading behavior, it is quite essential to scrutinize the underlying assumptions of the two competing theories: the componential approach and unitary hypothesis and see how this is reflected on testing the reading skills. As a result, the current study was aimed at broadening the existing…

Brannon, Megan E. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of design thinking instruction on the creativity of preservice teachers. Preservice teachers took part in a two-week unit on 3D printing as a part of their regular instruction in an educational technology course. The experimental group was introduced to design thinking instruction as a framework…

Matthew John Davidson – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Digitally-based assessments create opportunities for collecting moment to moment information about how students are responding to assessment items. This information, called log or process data, has long been regarded as a vast and valuable source of data about student performance. Despite repeated assurances of its vastness and value, process data…

Kevin S. Sutherland; Bryce D. McLeod; Maureen A. Conroy; Nicholas Mccormick – School Mental Health, 2022
While the measurement of treatment integrity is important to determine how much, and how well, interventions are delivered in schools, the science of treatment integrity is not well developed in education research. The purpose of this paper is to describe a program of research that has developed treatment integrity measures over the past 10 years…

Cognitive performance is both heritable and sensitive to environmental inputs and sustained practice over time. However, it is currently unclear how genetic effects on cognitive performance change over the course of learning. We examine how polygenic scores (PGS) created from genome-wide association studies of educational attainment and cognitive…

Schmidgall, Jonathan E.; Getman, Edward P.; Zu, Jiyun – Language Testing, 2018
In this study, we define the term "screener test," elaborate key considerations in test design, and describe how to incorporate the concepts of practicality and argument-based validation to drive an evaluation of screener tests for language assessment. A screener test is defined as a brief assessment designed to identify an examinee as a…
