This applied dissertation was designed to investigate student responses to three different instructional strategies used to fulfill level I fieldwork requirements: traditional in-clinic rotation, a combination of virtual simulation and traditional in-clinic rotations, and virtual simulation. A multi-decade occupational therapy (OT) fieldwork…

Students with Emotional Impairment (EI) often have among the worst outcomes of any category of students receiving services for learning disabilities. They earn fewer credits, are less likely to graduate, are more likely to drop out, and are less likely to pursue education beyond high school than almost any other of the categories identified under…

Student life stress, characterized by mental pressure arising from the university life demands, is a significant concern. We aimed to investigate stressors faced by students and their coping mechanisms within an Iranian university. Using a cross-sectional design in 2021, we selected 165 international students through simple random sampling. Data…

Revision is a complex cognitive task and an integral component of the writing process. Students benefit from understanding the value of and how to revise their own writing. The purpose of this study was to turn to students to investigate their understandings of revision. We posed the following question: What are 7th graders' perceptions and…

The growing interest in classroom discourse reflects a wide recognition within the mathematics education community of the critical role of social interactions in the joint construction of mathematics knowledge. An extensive body of empirical and theoretical work has been undertaken in the last two decades to characterise the types of classroom…

Background: As COVID-19 has let many students into remote learning environments and exacerbated inequality among marginalized individuals, there is a growing concern about Bias-Based Bullying (BBB) in online spaces among school-aged youths. Learning modality and perceived school fairness may affect youth's likelihood of reporting BBB. Methods:…

The study investigated the effect of an instructor's positive (vs. neutral) emotions in video lectures on student learning using either easy or difficult geography topics (i.e. easy: the Earth within the universe; difficult: understanding time and date calculations of Earth). The results showed that, first, students responded more positively…

Responding to student writers and their work is a staple of composition instruction, and there are numerous guides that offer educators advice on response strategies. However, such guides are often based on untested theories or assumptions about the effectiveness of those strategies, with little data-driven evidence of whether they work as hoped…

Mathematics self-schemas are students' cognitive generalisations of their selves in learning mathematics (Ng in "Educational Psychology," 34(6), 730-762, 2014). These salient subject-based self-conceptions are conceptualised as a cognitive frame guiding students' coping responses when dealing with challenging mathematics tasks. In study…

Language instructors worldwide use various types and strategies for providing feedback on the learners' written production. Written corrective feedback (WCF) plays a vital role in systematically learning second or other languages. Additionally, students' perception of feedback and its delivery has a specific value. Therefore, the current study…

Background: Students employ a variety of study strategies to learn and master content in their courses. Strategies vary widely in their effectiveness for promoting deep, long-term learning, yet most students use ineffective strategies frequently. Efforts to educate students about effective study strategies have revealed that knowledge about…

Background: Educational assessments increasingly shift towards computer-based formats. Many studies have explored how different types of automated feedback affect learning. However, few studies have investigated how digital performance feedback affects test takers' ratings of affective-motivational reactions during a testing session. Method: In…

This article contributes to an emerging body of scholarship on multimodal composition in the poetry classroom through a study of Finnish lower secondary students' digital videomaking in response to poetry. The study explores students' use of semiotic resources in their interpretive work in transmediating a poem into a digital video, with a…

With the growing interest in student-centered approaches to learning, it becomes important to look at student learning experiences in the self-directed learning environment as students may feel uncomfortable and unprepared for the demands associated with student-centered learning environments (SCLEs). This qualitative study explored student…

Assessment for Learning (AfL) is important in policy and practice in secondary schooling across the globe. It is associated with teacher expertise, student agency, a dialogic classroom climate, and a commitment to the needs of all learners. Research about AfL often includes measuring the efficacy of selected practices or foregrounding the role and…
