Deficits in the systems inherent to the field of ASL-English interpreting have resulted in gaps and barriers that impact novice interpreter practitioners. As a potential mitigating factor, research has shown the importance of developing confidence and self-efficacy in novice interpreters. Due to time and curricular restraints, the current system…

Many organizations are utilizing learning management e-learning (LMS-eLearning) systems for conducting employee professional skill advancement. To increase the likelihood of successful e-learning, management must prepare the workforce to accept the LMS-eLearning security training application. This study investigated whether anticipated ease of…

This study modelled the effect of teaching and assessment methods on the acquisition of 21st employability skills among 784 postgraduate and undergraduate students sampled from a public university, using the cross-sectional survey design. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data which was analyzed with Partial Least…

This research examines the relationship between reading and writing anxiety of primary school fourth-grade students according to different variables. In this context, the research was carried out with the correlational research model, one of the quantitative research methods. The sample of the study consists of 402 students determined by…

The Next Generation Science Standards encourage students to develop the reasoning and practice skills of scientists. Rather than promoting rote memorization, teachers engage students with real-world phenomena and prompt students to think critically. ChemVLab+ is a series of freely available, online modules that require students to reason like…

This study explored whether initial skill moderated outcomes of Promoting Algebra Readiness, a Tier 2 sixth grade mathematics intervention targeting conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions. The study analyzed data from a quasi-experimental pilot study in which at-risk students (n = 198) were assigned to the treatment or control condition…

This study explored whether initial skill moderated outcomes of Promoting Algebra Readiness, a Tier 2 sixth-grade mathematics intervention targeting conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions. The study analyzed data from a quasi-experimental pilot study in which at-risk students (N = 198) from Oregon middle schools were assigned to the…

It is critical students with disabilities be adequately prepared with the foundational competencies necessary for entry-level employment. However, the field needs a research-based, structurally sound assessment to assist teachers in assessing such competencies and then writing appropriate transition goals. The purpose of this pilot study is to…

Immersive spatial diagrams (three-dimensional diagrams rendered with immersive stereoscopic displays) offer learners the opportunity to extend practices of diagramming in school geometry into a human-scale, spatial context. Learners can use two or more hands to inscribe simultaneously with digital spatial painting tools, a spatial analog of the…

This paper provides a case study account of a preservice secondary mathematics teacher's thinking while engaging in slope tasks using dynagraphs. The data included audio recordings and screen captures of a small group of preservice teachers engaging with these tasks, with our analysis focusing on the case of Robin. Despite familiarity using slope…

The purpose of the research is to study the effectiveness of the methodological approach based on the use of podcasts in the study of Russian as a foreign language. The study involved 110 students studying Russian randomly selected from a representative sample. They were asked to listen and watch podcasts in and out of class twice a week for 4.5…

This study explored how associate deans in Illinois community colleges understand and practice culturally responsive leadership (CRL) in their institutions. The conceptual framework for this study is composed of the Culturally Responsive School Leadership (CRSL) model in the K-12 system first proposed by Khalifa et al. (2016) and the Applied…

This study observes two groups of high school students who were given different physics learning interventions. The first group (N = 35) learning physics with e-scaffolding in modelling instructions (LPE-MI),while the second group (N = 35) learning physics with modelling instructions (LPMI). This study investigates the influence of e-scaffolding…

Soft skills are the much sought after skills employers are seeking from their employees. In the workforce there is a significant gap in employment rate between individuals with learning disabilities and their same-aged peers. The problem this study sought to address was that high school students with learning disabilities are graduating from high…

The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program provides over $1 billion dollars annually in taxpayer-funded financial assistance to a unique population of at-risk, economically-disadvantaged U.S. college students with limited options for employment-related development. Research on the effects of FWS participation, especially professional development, is…
