The workplace has been highlighted as a potential setting to deliver health promotion programs to target modifiable health behaviors that contribute to chronic disease. This review evaluated the effectiveness of interventions implemented within the workplace that targeted either smoking, nutrition, alcohol, physical activity, and/or overweight and…

Purpose: Treatment response is the degree to which an individual benefits from a treatment. This systematic review sought to identify and synthesize research evidence regarding individual characteristics that predict language treatment response among children with developmental language disorder (DLD). Method: To be eligible for inclusion,…

This study identified emergent themes from the interview data of at-risk-for-completion doctoral candidates (N = 13; 59%), from a diverse demographic, who participated in a successful dissertation completion intervention program. The findings revealed four major themes including extrinsic factors, socioemotional, formal structures of the program,…

In this study, the effects of D-STEM activities on the 21st-century skills of pre-school children aged 3-4 were investigated. The research was carried out in a mixed design, both quantitative (experimental design with experimental and control groups (N:84) with pretest-posttest and retention test) and qualitative (observation and researcher…

Background/purpose: This study examines the design, development, and implementation of Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs) at Bulacan State University to standardize high-quality instructional materials and support asynchronous online learning. Materials/methods: Employing the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate), the study…

Background: Youth-focused co-design, involving active collaboration between researchers, designers, clinicians and end users, is essential for enhancing the acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of digital mental health interventions (DMHIs). However, most literature on co-design comes from high-income countries and offers limited…

There is a growing recognition that using engineering design process as an approach to integrate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) produces good learning outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of an integrated STEM with Design Thinking (iSTEM-DT) module on preschoolers' science process skills. It adopts a single…

As digital technologies evolve, traditional teaching methods in design and art education are increasingly insufficient to meet students' learning needs. While Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has introduced transformative applications in education, its impact on design and art curricula remains underexplored. To address this gap, this…

By combining a near-peer instructor (NPI) placement in a master-levelled professional program with co-design approaches, an anatomy and physiology (A&P) review session was developed to supplement Year 1 students' clinical application. An interactive A&P review, named Partners in Anatomy Learning (PAL) session, was developed by a team of…

Interest in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education and design thinking has risen as a way to equip students with 21st century skills, needed to solve complex real-world problems. However, integrating STEAM based design thinking challenges in the classroom poses challenges for educators, particularly in areas such…

This study examined bias reduction in the eight nonequivalent comparison group designs (NECGDs) that result from combining (a) choice of a local versus non-local comparison group, and analytic use or not of (b) a pretest measure of the study outcome and (c) a rich set of other covariates. Bias was estimated as the difference in causal estimate…

The intersection of modeling and STEM practices offers a promising avenue for creating an integrated STEM curriculum. However, research on designing modeling-based STEM (m-STEM) curricula is limited, particularly concerning how the curriculum affects the learning of students with different spatial abilities. This study developed a four-round…

In response to a need for improved training of business school teaching, this research explores US doctoral programs in management and finds a need to purposefully embed scaffolding--the process of gradually enabling the doctoral student to take on more challenging aspects of teaching--into doctoral program design. We also recommend a more…

Assessment for Learning (AfL) is complex requiring teacher competences for collecting, analysing and interpreting evidence of student progress, and for adapting instruction and learning accordingly. In this study, the four-component instructional design (4C/ID) model for complex learning was used to design a teacher professional development (TPD)…

The Advancing Culturally-Relevant Computing Project is a collaboration between researchers and practitioners in Hawai'i focused on preparing elementary teachers to meaningfully incorporate culturally relevant Computer Science (CS) into their classrooms. This paper introduces a hybrid instructional design framework designed to facilitate the…
