Bringing learning through play pedagogies to schools and children requires major investments in teacher professional development (TPD) that builds teachers' understanding of the value of learning through play, enables them to build and practice strategies and skills to support learning through play in the classroom, and supports their ongoing…

Classroom-based assessment (CBA) takes place in learning environments influenced by myriad individual and contextual factors. Nevertheless, factors related to individual differences and learner psychology are seldom considered in creating instructional environments designed to facilitate learners' use of CBA. This article introduces the concept of…

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in beginning teachers' perceptions of their preparedness to teach based on whether they attended traditional university-based programs or alternative certification programs regarding content knowledge, classroom environment, providing meaningful chances in instruction, a variety of…

Background and Context: Computational thinking (CT) has been increasingly added to K-12 curricula, prompting teachers to grade more and more CT artifacts. This has led to a rise in automated CT assessment tools. Objective: This study examines the scope and characteristics of publications that use machine learning (ML) approaches to assess…

Classroom assessment is a vital part of teaching. It helps make student learning--or a lack thereof--visible so that teachers can adjust teaching practices and better support learners. But designing and implementing reliable assessments is a complex process. In this comprehensive book by assessment expert Susan M. Brookhart, you will learn the…

Teaching equitable clinical practice is of critical importance, yet how best to do so remains unknown. Educators utilize implementation science frameworks to disseminate clinical evidence-based practices (EBP). The Health Equity Implementation Framework (HEIF) is one of these frameworks, and it delineates how health equity may be concomitantly…

This meta-analysis explores the effect of using scoring rubrics on self-efficacy and self-regulation in K-16 formal learning settings and its potential moderators. From the literature, we identified 14 relevant experimental or quasi-experimental primary studies conducted with a total of 2793 students. We retrieved 17 effect sizes for self-efficacy…

Quality physical education (QPE) cannot be solely driven by one quality program, rather they are driven by structures that formed the QPEs. Accordingly, the Society of Health and Physical Educators - SHAPE America (2015) has delineated four essential components to provide a strong foundation for physical education: Policy and Environment,…

Understanding learners' behavior is the key to the success of any learning process. The more we know about them, the more likely we can personalize learning experiences and provide successful feedback. This paper presents a feedback model implemented in a ubiquitous microlearning environment based on contextual and behavioral information and…

While much research has explored the quality of traditional teacher evaluations, little is known about the quality of ratings in preservice teacher evaluations. This paper presents a case study of Many-facet Rasch measurement (MFR, Linacre, 1989) to explore potential rater effects influencing the quality of supervisor ratings in educator…

There is growing agreement that feedback should be understood as a contextual and social process, rather than as receipt of teacher comments on students' work. This reframing brings with it new complexities, and it can be challenging for researchers and practitioners to adopt a process perspective when making sense of feedback practices in…
