Barriers to well-being detract from teachers' effectiveness, however there is limited understanding of exactly how this occurs. We explored whether fourth grade teachers' (N=65) burnout symptoms related to their lesson length in mathematics, science, and English Language Arts, and to time in each of three classroom groupings. Multiple regression…

Kindergartners' math skills predict later academic outcomes. However, we know little about kindergarten mathematics instruction. Using data from 182 classroom observations in a large urban district, we explore time spent on mathematics and math content coverage. We also examine two underinvestigated aspects of kindergarten math instruction: (1)…

Understanding part-whole relations is crucial in early mathematics education. However, both analogue and digital learning environments often lack systematic approaches to foster part-whole understanding. With the rising popularity of educational apps, it is essential to evaluate how they implement learning of part-whole relations. Accordingly,…

Research on the effectivity of PowerPoint presentations as an adjunct to theoretical and practical content during university lectures has garnered significant yet inconclusive findings. Specifically, how multimodal academic content should be organised to aid communication remains unclear. Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) introduces the concept of…

Occupational therapy education standards for teaching occupation are inconsistently applied and there is a lack of evidence to inform teaching practice in Australia. This qualitative study explored what teaching methods and approaches Australian occupational therapy educators used in their classroom, and why those methods were used. The research…

Purpose: This qualitative study assesses the enablers of the work of a novel, self-managing digital pedagogy peer support team in a Finnish higher education institution.

Metacognition plays a crucial role in language learning, enabling learners to reflect on and adjust their strategies for more effective learning, particularly when reviewing for quizzes and exams. Technology can be a powerful aid in this context. This study examines the extent to which review-focused cognitive strategies, delivered using an online…

This article describes the account of a "European Queens" course as an example of the intellectual growth available to both the professor and the student when an instructor uses engaged, responsive teaching to address apparently incommensurable understandings of a given topic. The author outlines how the study of premodern queens relates…

This article reports the findings and implications of a qualitative exploratory study of writing composition instructors' approaches to teaching research skills and designing research assignments. The authors present the common learning goals, instructional approaches, and research teaching challenges that surfaced through semi-structured,…

The article explores the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic reading motivation, reading amount and the comprehension of narrative and expository texts in lower secondary school students. In addition, we intended to verify the effect on these variables of an educational programme, the writing and reading workshop (WRW), aimed at promoting…

Background and Aims: Students with intellectual disability benefit from high-quality instruction in reading and mathematics. Methods: This Theoretical Paper outlines the need for effective, evidence-based instructional practices for this population and the potential for observation research to inform such advancements. We report our systematic…

Underpinning this consideration of writing instruction in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) is the premise that acts of teaching interact with the context in which they occur; they are shaped by the socio-cultural milieu, philosophical and socio-political traditions, curriculum and assessment systems, and the nature of individual classrooms. This…

This paper details a literature review of mathematics vocabulary intervention studies for students with mathematics difficulty. The primary aim was to identify instructional practices that support mathematics vocabulary development. We conducted a database search to identify mathematics intervention studies either focused exclusively on vocabulary…

The purpose or this study, is to help ELA educators understand the most accurate way to help their students improve their comprehension skills. Methods: The method of assessment that was utilized for this study is the Measures of Academic Progress Assessment (MAP).

This study investigates the effectiveness of a computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) system on second language learners' acquisition of three grammatical features. It presents a CAPT system on top of a phoneme-based, fine-tuned speech recognition model, and is intended to deliver explicit, corrective feedback on the pronunciation of the…
