The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a precision teaching (PT) framework on the mathematical ability of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We also examined if students of moderate mathematical ability could perform as well as their peers with fewer difficulties with their math skills. Sixteen students…

The status of a person in society is determined not only by the level of income or education, but also by their health. Therefore, the issues of developing a responsible attitude to health as a public domain and familiarizing learners with a healthy lifestyle is now gaining special significance. The aim of the study was to identify the forms and…

This article explores a long-standing criticism of the task-based language teaching (TBLT) approach regarding the applicability of TBLT to curricula in English as a foreign language (EFL) settings and, specifically, whether authentic tasks can be designed for EFL learners. To further investigate this issue, the authors explored the EFL context of…

Schools have poor reputation among creativity researchers. Teachers' biases and implicit theories, disruptive behaviors among creative students, and the equivocal pattern of the relationship between creativity and school achievement all contribute to this fact. This chapter presents a new typological model of creativity and demonstrate how this…

Plagiarism is often considered as cheating, dishonesty, copying, or moral failing in writing because it is the act of stealing others' language and ideas without proper citation or paraphrasing. However, this idea is not universally shared because people from different cultural backgrounds are likely to conceptualize plagiarism differently. To…

Purpose: Homeless children are more likely to have social skills deficits relative to same aged peers and may benefit from a social skills intervention. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the Let's Be Social application with the addition of behavioral skills training (BST) to teach social skills to children who were homeless.…

We introduce a novel approach to visualizing temporal clickstream behaviour in the context of a degree-satisfying online course, "Habitable Worlds," offered through Arizona State University. The current practice for visualizing behaviour within a digital learning environment is to generate plots based on hand-engineered or coded features…

As young adults transition from secondary education to post-secondary education, they enter a time of life when they are able to independently and potentially for the first time make all of their own food decisions. This shift from childhood to young adulthood and the new-found freedom to make food decisions makes students vulnerable to weight…

Teaching about culturally embedded racism can be difficult. Developing concepts to reframe deeply inscribed racial beliefs and attitudes is one necessary step, but illustrating cultural racism can be even more important. Effective examples invite behavioural change and significantly improved understanding. Lipstick and nail polish practices are…

Critical educational literature suggests that an increased reliance upon performative technologies is currently transforming the very foundations from which teacher subjectivities are constructed. Arguably though, the number of studies pointing to this risk or tendency is considerably larger than the ones theorising why this should be the case.…

How districts procure instructional resources often leaves teachers disconnected from what gets purchased, what is actually needed, and what gets used. One way to understand why teachers do or do not adopt certain resources is through Clayton Christensen's "Jobs to Be Done" theory. Teachers commit to employing a resource when they…

Purpose: This paper aims to propose a reading of children's small toy/puppet play that takes account of bodily movements within classroom assemblages. The researcher/author created representations of episodes of activity that focused on children's ongoing bodily movements as they followed their interests in one Early Years classroom in England.…

This autoethnographic study explores disruptive moments in a multiliteracies English-as-an-Additional Language (EAL) classroom with young adult students. Using a lens of affect theory, the study presents three strategic sketches (vignettes) to shine a light on unexpected intensities in the learning assemblage, initially assumed to be learner…

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) often lead laboratory and tutorial sections in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), especially at large, research-intensive universities. GTAs' performance as instructors can impact student learning experience as well as learning outcomes. In this study, we observed 11 chemistry GTAs and 11…

This study aims at identifying the nature of the practice of primary school teachers in Abu Dhabi for some educational-learning strategies. The sample of the study consisted of (200) teachers who were selected based on simple random sampling according to the study variables. The results of the study showed that the reality of practicing primary…
