We evaluated the psychometric properties of the Classroom Practices Survey--Revised (CPS-R) when used with students achieving at low, average, and high levels. A total of 739 teachers completed CPS-R for students in their classrooms. Results showed improvement in the reliability of CPS-R across all achievement levels when compared with its…

The purpose of this article is to explore the influence of a customized continuing professional development (PE-CPD) programme on PE teachers' perceived physical literacy and efficacy beliefs in Hong Kong. Individual and focus group interviews were conducted to gain an in-depth understanding of the participants' CPD experiences and to explore the…

The understanding of online classroom talk is a challenge even with current technological advancements. To determine the quality of ideas in classroom talk for individual and groups of students, a new approach such as precision education will be needed to integrate learning analytics and machine learning techniques to improve the quality of…

One of the major objectives of precision education is to improve prediction of educational outcome. This study combined theory-driven and data-driven approaches to address the limitations of current practice of predicting learning outcomes only using a single approach. The study identified the online learning patterns by using students'…

Studies on urban education and reform often focus on school failure, without exploring the positive impacts of curricula and pedagogy on student achievement. In addition, existing studies often ignore two central components: school learning climates and care. This case study investigates student, teacher, and administrator experiences in a…

There is a paucity of research focused on understanding the qualities which underpin dance artists' practice in working with talented young dancers with disabilities. This study investigated what informs how dance artists work in inclusive dance talent development contexts. Four dance class observations were conducted to provide evidence of dance…

This article applies Walker's Global Leadership Development Ecosystem to the leadership development offered to and/or valued by (full) professors at UK universities. It draws on 1,282 survey responses and 42 one-hour interviews. The survey data indicate that approximately 39% of respondents felt adequately prepared for the role, on appointment,…

In the era of the digital educational environment, where each participant of the educational process is actively involved in its development, the Internet and its services have become a popular tool. Open education network tools are defined as ICT tools that ensure the formation and maintenance of network electronic information resources of an…

Although many schools in the Netherlands have purchased adaptive learning systems (ALSs) to reduce workload and improve differentiated instruction, the use of ALSs with teacher dashboards in the classroom does not in itself necessarily improve differentiated instruction. The question is, what skills and knowledge do teachers need to provide…

Schools exist to educate, yet the emphasis on age-based, grade-level standards fails to account for the wide range of academic readiness that exists in every classroom. Special education programs exist to meet student needs; gifted education should be no different. The authors, all gifted education researchers, present a vision for a model of…

Tasks play a central role in the mathematics classroom. Especially when teaching in a heterogeneous mathematics class, teachers should be able to find, select, modify, and assign tasks adequately. The focus in this paper is on adaptivity to cognitively activate all learners at the individual level, and on teachers' abilities to allow for such…

Coaching is increasingly being used in higher education as a mechanism to meet the individualized professional development needs of faculty. Faculty coaching has been associated with positive organizational and pedagogical outcomes. However, missing from the research is insight into why faculty choose to participate in coaching and how the…

When the pandemic forced schools across the country to close their doors in March 2020, many district and school leaders worked quickly to plan for and address students' "unfinished learning." How would they support students who had been exposed to content, but had not yet had a chance to master it? Research supports two ways schools can…

Professional development of teachers and certificated staff has long been a concern for school districts and is generally completed in a top down approach with little input from the participants traditionally. Teacher credential programs also often fall short in ensuring that teachers are prepared to teach in the current day classroom due to…

A distinctive feature of game-based learning environments is their capacity to create learning experiences that are both effective and engaging. Recent advances in sensor technologies (e.g., facial expression analysis and gaze tracking) and natural language processing have introduced the opportunity to leverage multimodal data streams for learning…
