This essay proposes a pedagogical approach to writing instruction in universities facing familiar institutional goals and barriers alongside the heightened emotional complexities of students post-pandemic. Students at these universities often pursue vocational paths, yet since spring 2020, their interpersonal and cultural challenges have deepened,…

Previous studies have shown that encouraging students to use self-explanation strategies has proven effective in text-focused learning contexts. However, no study to date has focused on how students' strategy preference moderates the effect of self-explanation strategies on learning from video lectures. The current study investigated how students'…

In the study, we compared the effectiveness and efficiency of two error correction (EC) procedures --a model of the correct response (MoCR) and remove and re-present (RRp)--when using discrete trial training (DTT) in teaching to identify the community signs to children with autism spectrum disorder. We also examined the maintenance and…

Despite its importance for students' learning, engaging students in dialogic discussions, especially about controversial, justice-oriented topics, can be difficult for U.S. teachers to enact due to current political constraints. In this study, we explore how three middle school teachers engaged their students in curriculum-embedded discussions on…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is catalyzing a paradigm shift in higher education, demanding new pedagogical approaches that integrate AI literacy as a core competency. This paper addresses the long-standing challenge of teaching acoustics, a field often perceived as abstract and mathematically intensive by undergraduate students. We…

In this study, I present how eight U.S. college calculus instructors with different patterns of inquiry practices used instructional situations to frame instructional tasks for introducing derivatives graphically to students. During four interviews, the instructors proposed up to eight tasks for introducing derivatives physically, graphically,…

This systematic literature review examined the research on prior knowledge and its activation to ascertain how these terms are defined, what specific techniques have been empirically investigated, and the conditions under which prior knowledge activation facilitated students' comprehension. Fifty-four articles met the inclusion criteria and…

The development of clinical judgment is an important topic in nursing education, and various teaching strategies have been proposed to improve this skill among nursing students and new graduate nurses. However, the effectiveness of these strategies is not well-researched. One promising approach is using higher-order questions to guide and develop…

Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have shown potential in enhancing educational practices, particularly in technology-assisted learning environments. This study critically evaluates the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, such as ChatGPT, within the context of chemistry education. We designed targeted adversarial prompts that…

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the educational context underscores a focal point, especially in the field of STEM education. A key concern lies in the extent to which ChatGPT's responses align with established STEM pedagogy and whether its limitations, such as the absence of citations and reliance on a single perspective,…

There are a large number of Chinese Kung Fu enthusiasts worldwide. Offline learning has been the primary method for teaching and learning Chinese Kung Fu due to the inability of online 2-D videos to convey spatial information and provide feedback. To address the issues of the high cost of offline teaching, fixed perspectives in 2-D videos, lack of…

Previous research has investigated generalized intraverbal-tacting by teaching children with autism to respond using autoclitic frames. The present study compared the effectiveness and efficiency of a Frame and a No Frame procedure across counterbalanced stimulus sets with 4 children with autism. In the Frame condition, children were taught to…

Recent media reports suggest that teachers and teacher educators are using the three-cueing system model to justify an overemphasis on context to help students read unfamiliar words. In this conceptual article, the authors argue that although these critiques are exaggerated, the current climate provides an opportunity for teacher educators to…

Academic cheating is a pervasive problem in many universities globally. The present double-blind randomized controlled field experiment tested whether reminding university students about academic dishonesty sanction policies would reduce their cheating in an actual exam. Students were assigned to either a Sanction Reminder or a No Reminder…

In this "Perspective on Practice," we describe an application of recommendations made in "Formative Assessment in Secondary ­Mathematics: Moving Theory to Recommendations for Evidence-Based Practice" (Kenney et al., 2022), which was recently published in this journal. The authors made recommendations for mathematics teacher…
