The study examined the content of methods used in amateur guitar education, namely "Guitar Method for Children" (Bülent Isbilen & Özhan Gölebatmaz), "Classical Guitar Method" (Ahmet Kanneci), "Easy Training Method for Classical Guitar" (Bülent Isbilen & Güray Demir), "Classical Guitar Method" (Murat…

Recent studies have proposed that the automatic activation of naïve concepts, which persist even after learning scientific concepts, must be inhibited to successfully output scientific concepts. This model assumes that individual differences in inhibitory control (IC) within executive functions represent differences in conceptual change. However,…

Immersive technologies are assumed to have many benefits for learning due to their potential positive impact on optimizing learners' cognitive load and fostering intrinsic motivation. However, despite promising results, the findings regarding the actual impact on learning remain inconclusive, raising questions about the determinants of efficacy.…

Based on the assumptions of cognitive load theory, this study aims to utilize the eye movement data collected from multiple experts to scaffold novice graphic designers. The study has two main stages. In the first stage, eye tracking was used to record the eye movements of 7 experts, who covered eight topics explaining how to use Photoshop. The…

Teacher evaluation has been a source for scrutiny, and early career teacher attrition rates are the highest among any subgroup nationally and in the state of Georgia. Research has indicated that high stakes teacher evaluation could be a cause of early career teachers leaving the field of education. While research has been done in other states and…

A key aspect of engaging in a large participatory action research (PAR) project is ensuring that novice participant-researchers have a general understanding of the PAR methodology. Lead researchers experienced in action research cannot expect novice participant-researchers to engage fully with the literature on PAR, but rather need a simple way to…

This quantitative study explores novice teacher and coach ratings on coaching skills. Annual surveys were collected from respondents throughout a two-year programme to learn more about their induction experiences. We run a series of t-tests to identify differences between respondent groups and over time as well as multiple linear regressions to…

Novice clinicians often start their careers in community and agency settings without a comprehensive understanding of how counseling theories are developed, tested, and applied in the real world (Smith et al., 2024, under review). This can lead to feelings of academic and professional underdevelopment and self-doubt about their preparedness and…

Visual analysis is the primary methodology used to determine treatment effects from graphed single-case design data. Previous studies have demonstrated mixed findings related to interrater agreement between both expert and novice visual analysts, which represents a critical limitation of visual analysis and supports calls for also presenting…

Assessment and management of youth suicide risk is a key role for school psychologists. However, prior research indicates that psychologists commonly lack confidence and feel unprepared when they graduated to conduct risk assessments. This qualitative study explored nine Victorian early-career school psychologists' role in risk assessment, and…

In our first installment of a series of short articles, we focus on demystifying the publishing process. We first review terminology that is important for authors to understand yet is not clearly defined in easily accessible ways. Then, we describe the publishing process, beginning with preparing and submitting a manuscript, and ending with either…

This article is a personal reflection on borderlands as a professional home. Researchers who find themselves beyond their home discipline, i.e., the one in which they have been credentialed, have tried to assign terms for their location and its psychological ramifications. Defying an intellectual lane is to traverse a boundary that is constricted…

The utilization of modeling tools has gained significant attention recently. These models typically involve a series of partial differential equations, which can be challenging for novice modelers. This paper presented an approach in practical teaching of modeling tools for ion-exchange chromatography with three parts: model introduction, model…

Much has been researched and written about mentoring faculty generally in academic medicine, particularly related to research mentoring. Little is known from research about the mentoring practices for early career faculty in academic medicine that will prepare them to flourish in their teaching throughout their careers. My research addressed this…

Anxiety is a factor that affects the supervisee's learning and professional development process, performance while working with the client, counselling self-efficacy, supervisory relationship, and benefit from supervision. Anxiety, which developmental models accept as a developmental feature of novice supervisees (NS), may arise from the…
