Previous researchers have demonstrated that using stimuli identified via daily brief preference assessments may produce more responding under concurrent-schedule arrangements than using stimuli identified via lengthy, pre-treatment preference assessments (DeLeon et al., 2001). To date, this has not been evaluated within the context of skill…

The persistence of learning styles as a concept in educational discourse and research is paradoxical, given the overwhelming evidence discrediting the matching hypothesis, the notion that aligning teaching methods with students' preferred learning styles enhances achievement. This paper examines the resurgence of learning styles across…

This paper examines polar questions in Arapaho, from several perspectives. First, examples are given of consultants' elicited Arapaho glosses for English-language questions, along with consultant commentary and language ideologies on the proper forms. Of note is the consultants' preference for negative polar questions. Next, a series of…

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, students have more choice of how to attend courses than ever before; for a large number of courses at a technical university, they are still able to watch the lectures live online or in recorded format later. We found that interactivity may bring back students into the classroom almost as effectively as…

COVID-19 greatly increased the online delivery of higher education. But one limitation of online learning is that students often struggle to stay engaged while watching online lectures. We examined whether including an instructor's face in lecture videos (instructor visibility) enhances student engagement or learning. In two preregistered…

Prioritizing student satisfaction in higher education is crucial for delivering an educational experience that caters to students' needs, ultimately leading to improved learning outcomes and fostering gradual progress. In this paper, to identify the interactive teaching approach that best aligns with student expectations for a class of freshmen…

Background: In light of the growing need to understand interactive learning effectivity and especially post-COVID 19 pandemic constraints, the key question is how to develop interactive videos in order to get the most effective results. Objectives: This research aims to explore the pedagogical benefits of interactive video with branching…

Functional analysis has been shown to effectively identify the function of challenging behavior and inform the design of function-based treatment that emphasizes reinforcement-based procedures. However, there is minimal research on culturally responsive approaches to functional analysis with bilingual clients with a developmental disability who…

Existing research about English literature texts that are studied at secondary schools in developed countries suggests that teachers' choices can be determined by, for example, school policies, access to books, teachers' reasons for teaching literature, the degree of autonomy they have in choosing text and the influence that canonical literature…

This study aims to investigate the preschool teachers' perceptions of behaviour and instructional management and their classroom practices with an explanatory sequential design, which is one of the mixed methods research. There were 319 participants in the quantitative stage and 29 participants in the qualitative stage of the research. Research…

Purpose: Urban school districts often face challenges in filling principal vacancies with effective leaders, especially in high-needs schools. Prospective principals' engagement with the job application process may contribute to these challenges. The goal of this study is to better understand the job search strategies and behaviors of prospective…

The aspiring composer's development is commonly described using the metaphor of finding one's own composer voice. A central goal for teaching composition in higher music education is to guide students toward finding such a voice--toward personal expression and creativity. In order to shed light on the teaching strategies associated with this goal,…

Background/purpose: While reading skills are important in EFL classrooms, EFL students in Indonesia encounter various challenges. Therefore, the present study aimed to provide insights related to the needs and perceptions of EFL students in reading courses. In addition, the study also explores how curriculum design and pedagogical practices can be…

The purpose of this study was to elicit smoking couples' preferences for the 'format' and 'content' of couple-based interventions and partner support from both partners' perspectives, using an online discrete choice experiment (DCE) survey. An online DCE study was conducted during online interviews with 56 smoking couples (N = 112). Conditional…

This study presents the development of a student-centric framework for utilizing virtual reality (VR) technologies in education, specifically focusing on enhancing computational thinking skills. While numerous frameworks exist in this domain, they often lack consideration of student preferences, which are integral for fostering learner autonomy.…
