Pre-service teachers are expected to acquire the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to enter school effectively at the end of the teacher education program. Given the complexity of the teaching profession and the challenges associated with the induction phase, students should be supported in developing awareness of their exit…

Since augmented reality (AR) has been increasingly applied in education recently, the investigation of students' learning experiences with AR could be helpful for educators to implement AR learning. With a quantitative survey using three questionnaires, this study explored the relationships among 153 students' perceived cognitive load, motivation,…

The authors encourage those in the field of school psychology to consider the use of learning disabilities assessment practices in relation to specific American Psychological Association and National Association of School Psychologists ethical codes and in regard to the American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association,…

This study reports on an effort to illustrate the coupling of educational research with ongoing curriculum development to promote effective and evidence-based online learning. The research findings have been used to inform the "EarthLabs" curriculum development team as they revise existing modules and create new modules, in order to…

The use of narratives in the social sciences has drastically increased throughout recent decades. They are mainly used as a way of collecting data and as a way of promoting professional development. This article sheds light on how a practitioner-researcher engaged in narrative writing and how this helped in what is hereby termed a reflective…

A view of human functioning is presented in which functioning is seen as integrating head and heart, emotion and reason, in a process by which people are constantly making sense of their lived emotional experience to form narratives of told experience. Because much of the processing involved in the generation of emotional experience occurs…

In the translation part of this study, 22 Japanese short stories were translated into English by native speakers of English and 20 English short stories were translated into Japanese by Japanese. The passive passages in the Japanese version were classified into either adversative or non-adversative passive. (See related documents AL 001 564 and AL…

Previous research has shown that 6- to 9-month-old infants detect role reversals in dyadic interaction involving 2-argument relations. These studies extend this line of research to a 3-argument structure: An agent gives an object to a recipient. We conducted 4 experiments in a novelty-preference paradigm. Infants were habituated to videotaped…

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of the experimenter and the type of rating scales on indices of cognitive complexity and extremity of ratings. Starting from the notion of implicit theory of personality and Kelly's personal construct theory, it has been assumed that a person's individual constructs would be more…

The various roles that a teacher enacts are examined from four perspectives in this paper. Part one: "The Curriculum Text" presents a series of observations of classroom activity, and part two: "A Student Perspective" includes a collection of interviews with students who had been previously observed. The teacher's tape-recorded thoughts are…

Counselors, psychotherapists, and counselor educators completed a modified repertory test. Contrary to previous findings, presumed positive and negative affect role constructs of significant others did not produce significant differences. The role constructs--boss and person you'd like to help--previously presumed to be negative affect role…

The article offers seven basic hypotheses regarding the nature of the perceptual and cognitive underpinnings of stereotyping, and discusses the theoretical basis and empirical evidence for each. Subjects were 21 college students of mixed sex and race. (Author/MP)
