J. L. Lawrence; M. Barrowclough; D. W. Lugar – NACTA Journal, 2024
Study abroad programs increase a student's exposure to different cultures, traditions, and ways of life. While the benefits of participating in a study abroad program have been well documented, barriers, such as language, culture, and environment, may present themselves to program participants. Participants are introduced to a variety of new…

Havlícková, Veronika; Šorgo, Andrej; Bílek, Martin – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2023
Hands-on dissections of animals are traditionally regarded as an essential part of biology education. Nowadays, regardless of the reported educational benefits, there is a gradual change in the concept and acceptance of hands-on dissection, leading in many cases to its abandonment in schools and its replacement with alternatives such as 3D models,…

Kleespies, Matthias Winfried; Montes, Natalia Álvarez; Bambach, Alina Miriam; Gricar, Eva; Wenzel, Volker; Dierkes, Paul Wilhelm – Environmental Education Research, 2021
In the past decades, zoos have increasingly developed into conservation and education centers and today make an important contribution to environmental education. In this context, this study investigated which factors influence attitudes towards species conservation. The variables examined were gender, age, the number of visits to zoos in the last…

Memur, Hale Nur Kiliç; Yaman, Neslihan – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2021
The pet ownership has a crucial role in individuals' lives, which offers many beneficial effects. By examining the relationship between pet ownership and owners' well-being, researchers have found that pets typically made their owners feel well. This study examines the ways in which pet owners' depression and subjective well-being levels predict…

Riede, Tobias; Coyne, Megan; Tafoya, Blake; Baab, Karen L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The larynx plays a role in swallowing, respiration, and voice production. All three functions change during ontogeny. We investigated ontogenetic shape changes using a mouse model to inform our understanding of how laryngeal form and function are integrated. We understand the characterization of developmental changes to larynx anatomy as…

Lee, Silvia Wen-Yu; Shih, Meilun; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Tseng, Yi-Chen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate the affordances of participatory simulations by comparing students' models of engagement and science learning outcomes in a multi-team participatory simulated game (MPSG) and a single-team participatory simulated game (SPSG). Two versions of a mobile-based game about marine fishery management were…

Sakiroglu, Mehmet – International Journal of Curriculum and Instructional Studies, 2019
The use of smart phones is quite common among young people. This may sometimes cause problems. Different steps are being taken in the schools regarding the rules that students should follow for the use of telephone. However, student-oriented solutions are needed. The main aim of this study is to reveal the role of self-control, difficulties in…

Häikiö, Tuomo; Luotojärvi, Tinja – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
In early Finnish reading instruction, hyphens are used to denote syllable boundaries. However, this practice slows down reading already during the 1st grade. It has been hypothesized that hyphenation forces readers to rely more on phonology than orthography. Since hyphenation highlights the phonology of the word, it may facilitate reading during…

Cross, Liam; Farha, Myles; Atherton, Gray – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
People with autism are often characterized as having difficulties with theory of mind abilities such as emotion recognition. However, rather than being a pervasive deficit of 'mindblindness,' a number of studies suggests these difficulties vary by context, and when people with autism mindread non-human agents, such as animals or cartoons, these…

Koopman, Sarah E.; Mahon, Bradford Z.; Cantlon, Jessica F. – Cognitive Science, 2017
Language and culture endow humans with access to conceptual information that far exceeds any which could be accessed by a non-human animal. Yet, it is possible that, even without language or specific experiences, non-human animals represent and infer some aspects of similarity relations between objects in the same way as humans. Here, we show that…

Barker, Sandra B.; Schubert, Christine M.; Barker, Randolph T.; Kuo, Sally I-Chun; Kendler, Kenneth S.; Dick, Danielle M. – Applied Developmental Science, 2020
Internalizing symptoms are prevalent in students as they enter and complete college. Considering research suggesting mental health benefits of pet ownership, this study explores the relationship between pet ownership, social support (SS), and internalizing symptoms (IS) in a cohort of students across their 4-year college experience. With no…

Lee, Sherman A. – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2016
This study examined the relationship between religion and sorrow among a sample of 219 owners of deceased pets (the sample was predominantly comprised of white, female, educated Christians). The results indicated that the vast majority of the participants believed that their pets' souls reside in a better place and that they will reunite with them…

Petersen, Suni; Do, Trina; Shaw, Christy; Brake, Kaile – Health Education Research, 2016
Worldwide more deaths occur due to conditions that can be ameliorated by behavior change. Changing health behaviors using models popularized in non-western countries has not proven particularly successful. The purpose of this study was to test variables elicited during qualitative interviews and cultural conversations to develop a model of health…
