Climate change education within UK HE Geography has not produced a common curriculum, despite having an obvious set of learning resources, in the form of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report series, which has in many ways structured knowledge and understanding on climate change, its impacts and mitigation globally for…

The current study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of self-management interventions for teaching daily living skills to autistic individuals. This study accessed the corresponding studies by doing a search in six databases. 14 articles and one dissertation met the inclusion criteria. The included studies were first analyzed…

As online learning platforms become more popular and deeply integrated into education, understanding their effectiveness and what drives that effectiveness becomes increasingly important.

In investigating second language (L2) listening, verbal report (VR) can provide direct insight into listeners' behaviors. However, a concern over this method is its potential for reactivity -- that the VR may change (either positively or negatively) the individual's cognitive processes involved in the task being investigated. Thus far, few studies…

In recent years, genetic and genomic autism research has come under increasing scrutiny, moving to the center of debates about ableism, neurodiversity, autism acceptance, and the future of research and care. At the same time, both autism research and genetics and genomics research have, as fields, begun to reckon with the significance of the…

The Fordham Institute recently published a report analyzing several perceived threats to educational opportunities for students who score well on standardized tests and class grades.

GPT-3 is a neuronal language model that performs tasks such as classification, question-answering and text summarization. Although chatbots like BlenderBot-3 work well in a conversational sense, and GPT-3 can assist experts in evaluating questions, they are quantifiably worse than real teachers in several pedagogical dimensions. We present the…

This study aims to identify the mean alpha coefficients of the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS-5) and examine the moderator role of trauma type and study location. We included studies using the CPSS-5 and reporting a Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Our analysis of 27 studies (k = 31) revealed a mean alpha coefficient of 0.91 for the CPSS-5. Mean…
