Resurgence is the recurrence of target responding when reinforcement conditions have worsened. Resurgence of clinically relevant behavior can occur during planned and unplanned changes in treatment. Although resurgence is possible across many treatment contexts and participants, it may be especially relevant to the treatment of children. The…

Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) is a widely used tool for data management analysis across a variety of fields. The procedure for item response theory (PROC IRT) is one to perform unidimensional and multidimensional item response theory (IRT) analysis for dichotomous and polytomous data. This review provides a summary of the features of PROC…

Careless responding is a bias in survey responses that disregards the actual item content, constituting a threat to the factor structure, reliability, and validity of psychological measurements.

In this article, we discuss several recent examples of racial justice activism that has taken place within higher education, and what institutional response has looked like to those experiences. We offer recommendations for institutional leaders and administrators to consider when engaging with students focused on racial justice activism.

During the elementary years, children often struggle with learning how to properly manage their emotions. Emotions affect one's cognitive and metacognitive abilities and responses to problems faced. It is important for children to learn these concepts at an early age to improve their lifelong emotional regulation abilities. Studies show that…

To help address programming plagiarism and collusion, students should be informed about acceptable practices and about program similarity, both coincidental and non-coincidental. However, current approaches are usually manual, brief, and delivered well before students are in a situation where they might commit academic misconduct. This article…

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…

The provision of feedback is widely practised as part of formative assessment. However, studies that examine the impact of feedback are usually from the teachers' perspective, focusing on why and how they provide feedback. Fewer studies examine feedback from the students' perspective, especially in the way they experience, make sense of and take…

Management students conduct much of their coursework in teams, as they should. We teach them where teams can fail and how teams can become high performing. But too often, the team experience for students is solely about logistics and coordination. Students often miss the rich benefits of using their self-awareness and social intelligence to…

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of Raven's colored progressive matrices by estimating the presence of pseudo-guessing and pseudo-carelessness. Participants were 1127 children from ages 5 to 11. Guessing and carelessness were assessed using the lower and upper asymptotes of the 3PL and 4PL item response…

Well-crafted rubrics create a shared language that lets teachers and students work together. Rubrics are typically used to judge the level of students' understanding and skills or quality of a product. High-quality rubrics can also give students and teachers feedback to improve teaching and learning. Authors define "effective" feedback…

Youth mentoring programs have grown in popularity, both within the United States (U.S.) and abroad, as an intervention to support youth with common behavioral and emotional difficulties. However, it is unclear whether certain dimensions of youth risk may diminish the positive impact of formalized mentoring relationships. The current study…

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…

Since the passing of Senate Bill 7 and PERA in Illinois in 2010, improving teacher effectiveness has been an important issue in the field of education. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore the perspectives of administrators regarding the challenges of the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching in the evaluation process…

Market-based reforms, such as high-stakes teacher evaluation models aimed at improving teacher instructional practice, have not addressed student achievement concerns, especially among marginalized student demographic groups. Research contends that principal instructional feedback to teachers is a worthy strategy to improve teacher instructional…
