Dyslexia refers to a persistent difficulty specific to word reading and spelling. Dyslexia may lead to difficulties in text reading fluency, reading comprehension, and written expression, which in turn may impact learning across curricular content areas and contribute to social-emotional challenges. This research advisory provides an overview of…

This phenomenological study explored how five participants used their Texas state-approved definition of dyslexia to identify children with dyslexia as different from those with other global reading difficulties. Drawing on theories from disability studies in education and dis/ability critical race theory, I interviewed participants who identified…

This paper is a part of a larger research study that we are conducting to develop a framework consisting of the data-driven best practices around teaching and learning algebra in K-12 classrooms. The purpose of this paper is to develop a usable definition for algebra interventions for the second stage of screening within the larger study, which…

Research demonstrates that school connectedness protects students from risky behaviors and improves healthy development and academic achievement. Despite its importance, there has been little focus on how to promote school connectedness through school-based interventions. One problem with this area of practical application is that school…

Since the dynamics and forms of cyber violence evolve at the same rapid pace as technology platforms, we used social big data to develop an ontology for cyber violence victimization in South Korea. Following the seven-stage ontology development process, we extracted keywords from 3,075 social media data sources including online articles, comments,…

Undergraduate mathematics education is essential for building a foundation for success in various scientific disciplines. Curriculum reforms in mathematics education have emphasized the need for cultivating learning skills that depend on effective student engagement (SE). Consequently, there has been growing research on the mechanisms that…

Future leaders will have the challenging task of transitioning current societal practices and organizations towards sustainability, but we lack in-depth characterizations of young sustainability leadership students within specialized higher education programs. Understanding their aspirations, doubts and fears may help educators to provide tailored…

Self-management support has been identified as an effective nursing intervention for improving outcomes for people with chronic conditions, yet this concept lacks a clear definition. Furthermore, the concept has not been used in school nursing literature despite the clear connection between school nursing practice and tenets of self-management…

Backgrounds and aims: Echolalia, the repetition of previous speech, is highly prevalent in Autism. Research into echolalia has historically assumed a clinical standpoint, with two opposing paradigms, behaviourism and developmentalism, offering differing support and intervention programs. These paradigms offer a multitude of clinical…

Introduction: Echolalia, the repetition of others' speech, is a common observation in autistic people. Research has established that echolalia is functional and meaningful for many; however, some clinicians and researchers continue to characterise it as pathological and in need of reduction. The aim of this systematic review was to understand the…

Despite undeniable advances in research on language learning strategies in the last several decades, empirical investigations of actions and thoughts that learners engage in to better understand and use grammar structures in different contexts, or grammar learning strategies (GLS), remain scarce. Moreover, there is a paucity of studies examining…

In this paper, we critically examine the way in which scholars have traditionally defined and problematized attrition. Through a series of examples of large-scale intervention impact studies, we share insights about the sources and consequences of attrition that expand our notion of how and why attrition occurs. We also discuss potential steps for…

Purpose: The purpose of this conceptual paper is to provide a foundation for human resource development (HRD) scholars in attempts to devise mechanisms for establishing and facilitating actionable pathways through which unlearning can be acknowledged and serve as a contributing agent for HRD interventions. This paper concludes with a call to…

Natural scientists are relaxed about the multiple forms experiment takes in their various fields. Yet in education we have for many years constrained our notion of experiment. This methodological circumscription has been self-imposed on the grounds that experiment of a particular, well-defined form offers the clearest evidence of a link between…

Although our field has made significant progress in the measurement of procedural fidelity in research studies, we argue for a more nuanced and expansive perspective on procedural fidelity. Specifically, we review the status quo of procedural fidelity measurement in intervention research along with specific suggestions for increasing both…
