Many prevention programs have developed over the years to reduce the risk of substance use and misuse, and later addiction. Few…

Constructs of social justice has become an increasingly prevalent area of interest in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). In fact, competencies related to social justice are required program content per the Council of Academic Accreditation in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. This study's purpose was to describe and…

The use of immersive methodologies is a trend in the educational environment, but their outcomes in the teaching-learning process need to be better understood. This study aimed to assess the impact of the educational environment on learning equine distal limb ultrasonography, comparing immersive classroom, traditional classroom, and virtual…

Second language learners, particularly those with lower proficiency, often struggle with insufficient practice and heightened anxiety when speaking. This case study investigates the impact of one-on-one online conversation lessons on a university student's speaking skills and language anxiety. The participant, a university student with low…

This study was conducted to provide a better understanding of how teacher mentors are trained and supported by their coaches through the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) On the Rise Academy's mentor training program. The focus of the study was to uncover what teacher mentors viewed as effective training in their roles while…

Many workforce development training programmes use learning gains as a measure of programme effectiveness. However, research on K-12 education suggests that posttest scores may be influenced by pretesting effects. Pretesting may improve posttest performance by giving learners preknowledge of posttest content. Alternatively, pretesting may enhance…

There is need and opportunity for assessments that support quick and playful--yet also accurate, rigorous and developmentally sensitive--appraisals of early numeracy. Ideally, these should be accessible to those who have opportunity to support children's learning development and ultimately shift children's trajectories. The iPad-based "Early…

We investigated whether the temporal contiguity effect, which holds that information sources, such as visual information and narration need to be temporally coordinated for learning to be effective, can also be found in narrated slideshows. A concurrent presentation-key point format (CPK), in which visual information sequentially appeared as key…

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of coding activities on children's mathematical reasoning skills. In the study, the pre-test - post-test control group quasi-experimental design was used. The participants of the study consisted of 29 children (17 in experiment group and 12 in control group) aged between 57-68 months…

The purpose of this study is to develop a test to assess students' level of counterintuitiveness in basic electric circuits. Data from four samples were gathered and used to develop and validate the counterintuitive basic electric circuit test (CBECT). The initial version of the CBECT was administered to the first sample and data collected from…

This research focuses on a dual mediation model designed to describe the learning process of sixth grade students practicing mathematics to improve Mathematics Operation Proficiency while experiencing different forms of feedback. The variables of interest in this study are the predictor variable feedback type, the mediating variables of Affective…

Student performance in an introductory agricultural finance class was analyzed via a pre-test, post-test, and additional student information collected from 2018-2021. Regression analysis indicated that several common measures of academic performance and aptitude were linked to post-test scores. As is consistent with the literature, post-test score…

This study aimed to investigate the effect of online, flipped, and in-class critical thinking teaching on critical thinking skills and dispositions of university students. Pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design was employed in this study that has three experimental groups and one control group. In the first experimental group,…

This article presents a case study on Giving Games (GG), which are single-session experiential philanthropy lessons where students learn about, deliberate, and decide which of a set of pre-planned nonprofit organizations should receive smaller sums of sponsored money. Findings reveal that participants' prioritized considerations for giving changed…

In response to remote learning needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, introductory lecture and laboratory courses typically delivered fully in person were offered in a completely virtual format for the first time. Introductory laboratory courses are pivotal foundations for future discipline-specific learning and serve as prerequisites for a myriad of…
