This study compared two goal-setting approaches found in the Precision Teaching literature, namely the minimum celeration line and the beat your personal best during the mathematical practice of three male students diagnosed with autism, aged 8-9. An adapted alternating treatments design with a control condition was embedded in a concurrent…

Elite motor skill performance is a highly-variable, complex phenomenon that is regularly observed and examined globally in various contexts such as sporting events like the Olympic games or professional contests, concert halls featuring accomplished musicians and singers, or sold-out venues that feature comedians or motivational speakers. Many…

This paper discusses the "Just Keep Solving" apps that are designed based on deliberate practice model for developing mathematical skills. Features of deliberate practice include well-defined goals involving areas of weakness as determined by a knowledgeable other such as a teacher. The integration of game design features provides a…

The purpose of the present study was first to investigate whether both teacher-reported classroom aggression (ATT) and teachers' interaction with school shooting media (ISSM) are predictors of teachers' secondary trauma related to school shootings (STSS) and to second, consider how participation in lockdown drills may moderate these relationships.…

The threat of an active shooter is something early childhood educators need to prepare for, but a literature review regarding active shooter drills indicated a gap in the research focused on the perceptions the early childhood educators. Using a conceptual lens based on developmentally appropriate practice and the developmental theories of Piaget…

Learning does not happen immediately; it takes time and effort. Thus, patience is a virtue required for any type of successful learning. Given the increasing prevalence of online learning, understanding students' patience is necessary to devise ways to sustain it. In this study, we define online learning patience as the ability to steadily…

Archiving is a process of organizing and creating content for sustainable, long-term access. However, the "archivists" actively shape the content in the realm of the performing arts, which often involves adding a new layer of knowledge to the original artform. This article explores the archiving of a ballet repertory course conducted in…

This study conducted an innovative quantitative examination of the level of student game-play participation during two, consecutive and 'naturalistically' implemented, Sport Education (SE) seasons, while taking into account students' sex and skill-level and the activity participation context (team practice/competition, handball/football). A total…

The influence of augmented feedback and self-estimation of errors on the welding skill learning of vocational high school students was the focus of this study. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized by randomly assigning two classes of car repair students to an experimental group and a control group. Each participant had 9 practice…

A skill-by-treatment interaction (STI) isolates skill deficits and manipulates conditions to match them to student needs. Based on the learning hierarchy, preintervention scores can help predict which intervention will be most successful for an individual student. This study compared the efficacy of a modeling and practice-based decoding…

Lockdown drills are routinely conducted in schools across the U.S., yet little is known about the impact of such practices on participants--particularly for the faculty, staff, and administrators charged with student safety. The present study considers the effects of lockdown drills and associated emergency response training on perceived safety…

This study aimed to determine the perceived value and frequency of singing, chanting, and additional vocalization techniques in school instrumental ensembles. Vocalization tools are meant to enhance student musicians' concepts of music. Music directors, both band and orchestra, in a southeastern American state completed a questionnaire that asked:…

Background: Although research on mathematics learning programs has taken off in recent years, little is known about how different person characteristics are related to practice behaviour with such programs. When implementing a mathematics learning program in the classroom, it might be important to know whether students with specific…

D-ID Creative Reality Studio (D-ID) is a platform for creating Artificial Intelligence (AI) presenter (digital human) videos, translating videos, and designing conversational agents. D-ID seamlessly integrates deep-learning face animation technology, large language models (LLMs), natural language processing (NLP), and speech synthesis and…

Purpose: Golf coaches may recommend "blind" putting drills in which golfers close their eyes to improve their feel. Research on specificity of learning suggests, however, that adding or removing a source of sensory information after practicing under differing circumstances can cause performance decrements. Specificity of learning is also…
