Purpose: While research indicates that both the core features of autism and associated developmental skills influence adaptive behaviour outcomes, results to date suggest greater influence of the latter than the former, and little attention has been given to how the interaction of both together might impact functional disability. Seeking to expand…

The ability to notice students' mathematical thinking is key to better understanding student learning and effective teaching. Our professional development program utilized a Child Study Assignment in an attempt to strengthen K-3 teacher noticing. We applied principles of improvement science to improve this assignment to better support the…

The study focused on the improvement of supervisory skills among mentor teachers in K-12 who work with student teachers in an English language teaching program of an English-medium state university in Istanbul, Turkey. The researchers explored how the mentor teachers' supervisory skills, namely observation and giving feedback, were improved after…

This research aimed to: 1) develop a model for enhancing the professional noticing skills of mathematics student teachers grounded in the concept of a professional learning community; and 2) cultivate the professional noticing skills of mathematics student teachers through the implementation of this developed model. The target group for this study…

Public libraries in Hamilton provide countless services to different users, particularly older immigrants. The library system proves to be an inclusive learning space, promoting lifelong learning for all. The paper explores the relationship between public library use, lifelong learning and community development. In addition, it demonstrates the…

This article presents the outcomes of a project, which aimed to develop the use of questioning in one teacher's practice using a professional development intervention termed 'clinical supervision'.

These skills provide learners in the primary school the opportunity to overcome their self-imposed…

We conducted a qualitative metasynthesis of research focused on prompts used to elicit noticing following video observations within mathematics education. Forty-nine, peer-reviewed articles were selected based on specific criteria and analyzed using a defined approach to better understand the variations in the prompts mathematics teacher educators…

Action observation, where a learner observes a model demonstrating a skill, has long been established in the literature as an effective means to acquire motor skills. Developments in virtual reality technology have made it possible for a 3D action observation viewing perspective, theoretically providing a viewing experience similar to observing a…

Examination of the effectiveness of an attention intervention using a randomized controlled trial for toddlers with suspected or confirmed autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Data was collected from Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, Canada between February 2018 and February 2020 (halted due to COVID-19 pandemic). Participants were 35 toddlers…

Drawing is a powerful process tool that supports learning in life science classrooms. Effective drawing activities frame drawing as a learning process and explicitly incorporate observation and communication. The goals of this article are to situate drawing as a valuable learning experience and to guide educators through designing and implementing…

The purpose of the Early Childhood Essentials Framework is to synthesize and communicate the essential skills and competencies children should be acquiring before they enter kindergarten and the related skills and competencies early childhood educators must cultivate in order to provide high-quality early learning experiences that will set all…

The study investigated the impact of pedagogies of practice approach on pre-service teachers' professional noticing skills in perimeter and area measurement concepts.
