Eleven preservice teachers in a dual early childhood/early childhood special education teacher education program participated in a case study to determine the effects of a professional development intervention on use of an evidence-based practice (EBP). The intervention included training, practice, planning, video self-reflection, and group…

This report examines the outcomes of the Edgenuity application suites, which were widely adopted as an adjunct to virtual instruction during the shutdown of schools (fourth grading period of the 2019-20 school year) due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Edgenuity is a customizable standards-aligned video-based curriculum for middle and high school…

Objective: Present a systematic analysis of the outcome research concerning video feedback (VF) programs. Method: Twenty-nine studies published between 1990 and 2014 were examined. They focused on children 0-12 years old and had at least one control group. Results: VF programs were similar in design, with interventions focusing on parental and…

This action research study follows a between-subject design strategy and attempts to identify whether a departure from a direct instructional teaching strategy towards a flipped learning pedagogy results in increases in student performance over time. In particular, the study considers the effects of integrating flipped learning pedagogic…

The objective of this investigation is to determine if the "flipped" model can be combined with hybrid learning in order to create the "flipped-hybrid" classroom. The flipped classroom refers to an educational model where the traditional practice of dedicating class time to direct instruction is inverted, so that students…

Meeting the future demands of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) requires cultivating a diverse workforce. However, historically underrepresented groups--such as Black, Hispanic, and American Indian individuals; first-generation college students; those who are socioeconomically challenged; and women--have struggled to achieve…

This study's aim was to investigate the effectiveness of video modeling presented with tablet PC on teaching job interview skills to individuals who have developmental disabilities. Participants of the study were two men and a woman whose ages were 21-24 and whose diagnosis was developmental disability. The research was carried out with multiple…

Incorporating active learning strategies into introductory STEM courses has been shown to improve student outcomes, however, these activities take class time to execute. The question of how to implement these effective strategies without sacrificing a significant volume of content coverage has led to the development of a "flipped" model…

Billiards is a sport that not only requires numerous skills, but also emphasizes the strategies of planning the path of the contact and shot.

Therefore, referring to social…

FIBER (Flipped Issue-Based Enquiry Ride) is a teacher-facilitated interactive pedagogic framework that the authors propose to integrate flipped learning into social humanities education. This paper reports a quasi-experimental study (with mixed methods) which examined the pedagogic effectiveness of FIBER in the authentic setting of formal…

The purpose of this study is to differentiate the effect of cooperative learning strategy integrated with a flipped learning (FL) model from sole FL implementation in promoting students' performances while decreasing their social and computer anxiety in an undergraduate course. As a method, a classical experimental design is used. The participants…

Within the autism spectrum disorder field, rates of attrition in parent-mediated interventions have highlighted the need to engage families around improving the delivery of these services. The primary goal of this study was to approximate the impact of adaptations to an evidence-based, parent-mediated intervention, Project ImPACT (Improving…

The purpose of this case study was to explore prospective English education teachers' (PEET) experiences of digital storytelling (DST) through a flipped classroom approach. 36 prospective teachers who enrolled in a computer literacy course participated in the study. The data was collected through a demographic questionnaire, three open-ended…

Statistics have shown that at least 50% of all teachers leave the profession within the first five years, with higher departure rates in certain subjects (e.g. science and mathematics, special education, English language development) (Ingersoll, 2003) and in under-resourced schools with traditionally underserved students of color (Redding &…

This research project explores the communication opportunities for individuals in a community-based transition program in the Bay Area. The study focuses on the opportunities that are made available by a program that is founded on neurodiversity and trauma-informed principles. The research questions examined how a neurodiverse framework allows for…
