Background: In the UK, infant mortality rates are highest among families living in the most socio-economically deprived neighbourhoods. The Midlands region is among the areas with the highest rates in the country. Key modifiable risk factors, such as teenage pregnancy, smoking during pregnancy and not breastfeeding contribute significantly to…

Many professional health programs have transitioned from regional anatomy courses to integrated curricula, in which anatomy is taught longitudinally within a series of systems-based courses. With this shift, systems-based prosections have become increasingly valuable for anatomy education. However, most dissection guides are regionally focused,…

Background: Due to disruptive student behavior, a K-5 urban school developed a problem of practice that focused on creating a classroom management plan and a social-emotional plan for students to regulate their emotions effectively, allowing teachers to execute engaging lessons that increase student engagement. Informal observations conducted by a…

Role models are critical for broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); however, little is known about STEM role model characteristics most likely to promote identification. This study focused on adolescents' preferences and identification with diverse STEM role models featured in online videos. Findings…

We presented participants with lecture videos at different speeds and tested immediate and delayed (1 week) comprehension. Results revealed minimal costs incurred by increasing video speed from 1x to 1.5x, or 2x speed, but performance declined beyond 2x speed. We also compared learning outcomes after watching videos once at 1x or twice at 2x…

Environmental problems still require a lot of solutions that need to involve various groups including universities. Through effective environmental education learning, it can have an impact on awareness and achievement of student competencies in Environmental Science courses. The application of learning media by utilizing digital technology is…

In this article, we explore space, time, and mattering in relation to empathy and nature by examining videos created by 10 undergraduate education majors attending university in Helsinki. Completed as part of a cross-curricular project between art and music students, the video artworks were inspired by a garden theme. Using arts-based,…

The article provides practical tips on using Flipgrid in elementary classrooms. The sociocultural approach to learning leverages global collaboration and inclusivity to honor student voices. Authentic instructional activities and cultural literacy practices are aligned with Literacy Common Core standards to promote children's literacy development.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) to teach peer-trainers to implement video feedback (Study 1) and evaluated the effectiveness of peer-implemented video feedback to increase proper deadlifting form across 3 participants (Study 2). A nonconcurrent, multiple baseline design across participants was employed to…

Videos are an engaging medium for learning as they provide affordances beyond text or audio-only, thereby allowing the creator more flexibility for content generation. Easy access to videos on the Web and their popularity within everyday discourse has made them an accepted medium for teaching and learning. However, this increase in the…

Young children often learn less from video than face-to-face presentations. Meta-regression models were used to examine the average size of this difference (video deficit) and investigate moderators. An average deficit of about half of a standard deviation was reported across 122 independent effect sizes from 59 reports, involving children ages…

Points near the top end of a falling rod hinged at its bottom end can fall faster than g. If a rod falls on a frictionless surface then the bottom end slides backwards and the centre of mass falls vertically with acceleration less than g. The effect was simulated by mounting a rod on wheels and filming the result with a video camera. The…

Finding an unfamiliar person in a crowd of others is an integral task for police officers, CCTV-operators, and security staff who may be looking for a suspect or missing person; however, research suggests that it is difficult and accuracy in such tasks is low. In two real-world visual-search experiments, we examined whether being provided with…

The increasing use of digital resources has changed the way of teaching, where platforms such as YouTube offer large repositories of educational videos. There are many theoretical studies that analyse the digital competences of teachers, but to a lesser extent on the behaviours and use that the teacher makes of this multimedia platform. Thus, the…

This article reports on the design and implementation of a didactic sequence in the frame of a design-based research study. The research aim is to test the hypothesis that affordances of dynamic geometry may support students' awareness of logical relationships between geometrical properties of constructed figures. We elaborate on the task design…
