Serpati, Lauren – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Limited information exists in the Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) field regarding teachers' intent to accept brain-based teaching (BBT). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of motivational beliefs on secondary teachers' intent to accept BBT through the lens of Social Cognitive Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model. The…

Singh, Sukhpal; Chana, Inderveer; Singh, Maninder – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2015
The ultimate goal of scientific research is publication so as to showcase the research outcomes. Scientists, starting as graduate students, are measured primarily not by their dexterity in laboratory manipulations, not by their innate knowledge of either broad or narrow scientific subjects, and certainly not by their wit or charm; they are…

Gatling, Anne; Vaughn, Meredith Houle – Science and Children, 2015
Engineering is not a subject that has historically been taught in elementary schools, but with the emphasis on engineering in the "Next Generation Science Standards," curricula are being developed to explicitly teach engineering content and design. However, many of the scientific investigations already conducted with students have…

Olmos-Peñuela, Julia; Benneworth, Paul; Castro-Martínez, Elena – Arts and Humanities in Higher Education: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, 2015
Recent policy discourse suggests that arts and humanities research is seen as being less useful to society than other disciplines, notably in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The paper explores how this assumption's construction has been built and whether it is based upon an unfair prejudice: we argue for a prima facie case…

Gleaves, John; Llewellyn, Matthew; Wrynn, Alison – Quest, 2015
From the gender controversy of South African runner Caster Semenya to the doping practices of disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong, recent sporting issues highlight kinesiology's important role and responsibility to sport. Increasingly, sport organizations, such as the International Olympic Committee, the World Anti-Doping Agency, and…

Marty, O. – Ethnography and Education, 2015
This document aims to help education ethnographers to think about, describe and complete their scientific research: based on a personal research curricula and ongoing scientific discussions in social sciences and psychology, I develop an anthropology synthesis of three epistemic distances. (1) Cultural distance from fieldwork: How far is the…

Lavenex, Pamela Banta; Lavenex, Pierre – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
In 1995, Nelson explored the relation between early memory development and corresponding changes in brain development, and conceptualized this knowledge in a coherent theoretical framework (Nelson, 1995). In their review, Jabe's and Nelson provide an update of Nelson's 1995 cognitive neuroscience model of human memory development. In this article,…

Mevel, Katell; Fransson, Peter; Bölte, Sven – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
Current evidence suggests the phenotype of autism spectrum disorder to be driven by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors impacting onto brain maturation, synaptic function, and cortical networks. However, findings are heterogeneous, and the exact neurobiological pathways of autism spectrum disorder still remain poorly…

Miller, Brant G.; Cox, Christopher J.; Hougham, R. Justin; Walden, Von P.; Eitel, Karla Bradley; Albano, Anthony D. – Curriculum Journal, 2015
Effectively communicating scientific research has taken on greater importance as climate change impacts the world we live in. It is increasingly incumbent upon the science and education communities to produce and deliver curriculum that is timely, accessible, and scientifically accurate. In the summer of 2012, scientists and educators worked…

Pier, Elizabeth L.; Raclaw, Joshua; Nathan, Mitchell J.; Kaatz, Anna; Carnes, Molly; Ford, Cecilia E. – Wisconsin Center for Education Research, 2015
Grant peer review is a foundational component of scientific research. In the context of grant review meetings, the review process is a collaborative, socially mediated, locally constructed decision-making task. The current study examines how collaborative discussion affects reviewers' scores of grant proposals, how different review panels score…

Stark, Daniel; Rosenberg, Abby R.; Johnston, Donna; Knight, Kristin; Caperon, Lizzie; Uleryk, Elizabeth; Frazier, A. Lindsay; Sung, Lillian – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2016
Purpose: We identified studies that described use of any patient-reported outcome scale for hearing loss or tinnitus among children and adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. Method: In this systematic review, we performed electronic searches of OvidSP MEDLINE, EMBASE, and…

Truran, Peter – Educational Technology, 2016
The teaching of research methodology to graduate science students places an emphasis on scientific reasoning and on the generation and evaluation of evidence in support of research conclusions. Very little attention is paid to the teaching of scientific creativity, the processes for generation of new ideas, hypotheses, and theories. By contrast,…

Sandefur, Conner I.; Gordy, Claire – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2016
We developed and implemented a series of workshops and seminars in an undergraduate journal club targeted at improving student development in applying the scientific process. Students were surveyed before and after participating in the club about their confidence in accessing, analyzing, and reporting scientific research. Post-club, the students…

Labaree, David F. – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2016
American higher education rose to fame and fortune during the Cold War, when both student enrollments and funded research shot upward. Prior to World War II, the federal government showed little interest in universities and provided little support. The war spurred a large investment in defence-based scientific research in universities, and the…
