Although the null hypothesis significance testing procedure is problematic, many still favor the use of "p"-values as indicating the state of evidence against the model used to generate the "p"-value. From this perspective, "p"-values benefit science; or would benefit science if used correctly. In contrast, the novel…

Carefully observing young children at play in a mathematically rich environment has led me to reflect on the way children naturally pose and solve interesting mathematical challenges. Here, three examples of the playful learning of six-year-old children illustrate the problem solving and persistence children can display. Teachers are encouraged to…

Confirming multisite studies presents an ongoing challenge for researchers based in England. Those wishing to set up a multisite study must undergo local Research & Development review, in addition to ethical review by a Research Ethics Committee. However, both the documentation required for multisite review and the length of time it takes to…

In educational sciences, 90s were the scene of the paradigmatic wars, as the researchers of quantitative or qualitative research only defended the ideas of the type of research they used and they constantly criticized the counter-paradigm. While this struggle is going on, mixed method research has emerged, a pragmatist approach that believes both…

As public spending for higher education continues its decades-long decline (Chronicle of Higher Education, 2014), and university boards and administrators seek ways to balance their budgets, faculty (and staff) labor has been targeted as a way to make ends meet. Attacks on faculty labor can take different forms, such as reducing or eliminating…

We would like to share a problem with you that has some subtle features. We will examine how we believe students may approach this problem -- students that we shall characterize as "marginal," "good," and "exceptional" for convenience of discussion. We will see that one can use the incorrect response of the good…

This chapter distinguishes narcissism from healthy self-esteem, describes ethical dilemmas institutions may face when decision-making is controlled by narcissistic leaders, and recommends safeguards against narcissistic leadership.

In spite of many and varied concerns that the processes of institutional ethical review are flawed, cumbersome, and in need of reform, these processes do provide effective protection in certain situations for individual research subjects, researchers, and the institutions from which the researchers venture to conduct their fieldwork. Many in the…

The construct of drunkorexia, caloric restriction prior to or during alcohol consumption, was examined in 411 college students who experienced alcohol-related infractions. Analyses were conducted to examine differences in demographic prevalence distributions, alcohol-related consequences, and alcohol consumption between a subsample of participants…

Over the years, we have noticed our students constructing proofs that commutativity is preserved by isomorphism that do not explicitly use the fact that the isomorphism is surjective. These proofs are typically valid otherwise. However, such proofs are invalid because they would prove the false claim that commutativity is preserved by any…

This study aims to examine the opinions of classroom teachers about the remedial education of students who were out of education process during the covid-19 pandemics. The holistic single case pattern was adopted in the study. Personal information form and semi-structured interview form were used as the tools for data collection. The work group of…

COVID-19, the most severe global pandemic since the Spanish flu that followed World War I, threatens nearly every country, from global powers to developing nations. This threat presents a concurrent challenge for educational systems. With schools closed during the pandemic, students and teachers have had to stay at home worldwide. This shift has…

There are increasing pressures within the higher education sector to incorporate digital pedagogies into teaching and learning, a trend amplified by recent extensive recourse to online delivery within the sector. This trend carries with it both opportunities and challenges in effectively fostering those graduate competences that a converging…

This study investigated the effects of inclusive education for children with developmental disabilities. The study panel comprised 19 class teachers from 16 regular elementary schools across 3 districts in Shanghai, China. By integrating focus groups, individual interviews, and archival data, the results showed that children with developmental…

Research conducted to date provides a limited understanding of the landscape of school-based screening practices across academic, behavioral, and health domains, thus providing impetus for the current survey study. A total of 475 K-12 school building administrators representing 409 unique school districts across the United States completed an…
