Currently the design standards for single case experimental designs (SCEDs) are based on validity considerations as prescribed by the What Works Clearinghouse. However, there is a need for design considerations such as power based on statistical analyses. We compute and derive power using computations for (AB)[superscript k] designs with multiple…

The discourse of economic literacy has influenced high school economics instruction for decades. Using Foucauldian genealogy, this study examined the events and circumstances which allowed that discourse to emerge. By mapping the relationships in the discourse through the economic literacy, it is possible to examine the mechanisms and rules which…

This study investigated high school social studies teachers' perceptions of Robert Stahl's decision-making materials within their content area and the relevance of curricular implementation. The primary questions addressed in this study focused on high school social studies teachers' perception of current instructional practices, inquiry-based…

Background/Context: Attrition has been described as "the Achilles Heel of the randomized experiment" (Shadish et al., 1998 p.3). Attrition looms as a threat because it can undermine group equivalence, eroding the methodological strength at the heart of a randomized evaluation. In particular, attrition could result in unobserved…

Today, young people are immersed in a complicated media ecology that promotes an infodemic of disinformation and profit-driven spin while simultaneously presenting extraordinary opportunities for participatory engagement. The social studies classroom is a critical platform for preparing the next generation to cope and thrive amid this…

A discovery-based experiment for the synthesis of arylpropiolic acids via carboxylation of arylacetylenic Grignard reagents was developed. This experiment shows the "dual utility" of Grignard reagents. In the synthesis of arylpropiolic acids reported here, we have demonstrated the use of a Grignard reagent as a base in a "Grignard…

Organic electrode materials are progressively becoming a research hotspot for energy storage materials due to their renewable and environmentally friendly features. Inspired by the energy transduction mechanism of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) on the inner mitochondrial membrane of living organisms, the lithium storage electrochemical behavior…

In recent years, the food industry has been undergoing major changes driven by new social and environmental demands. Nowadays, biodegradable packaging is perceived as the most feasible alternative for food packaging. Great efforts are being devoted to the development of new materials from agro-industrial wastes and byproducts that are opening new…

What does religious studies education aim to teach? For years, this question has confounded educators and policymakers within the United States. To exacerbate matters, a common yet problematic narrative has emerged: content knowledge and skills are at odds with each other. In one camp, the story goes, are those who emphasize the…

This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how AI is influencing and shaping various aspects within the academic context by using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative investigation and qualitative analysis to explore AI impacts on undergraduate education. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between…

This paper investigated the possibility of applying Universal Design for English Language Learning. Throughout the paper, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for data collection. The students were first asked to critique the ESL program using a methodology created by Paulo Freire to ascertain how much freedom students have in…

Purpose: The study aims to develop an application that will serve as an alternative learning tool for learning Asian Studies. The delivery of lessons into a virtual reality game depends on the pace of students. The developed application comprises several more features that enable users to get valuable information from an immersive environment.…

Research continues to stress the importance for college students to graduate with the skills to be successful as global-minded leaders in today's evolving workforce. Although the typical study abroad programs can address this, critics point to some limitations. First, most study abroad programs are short-term, limiting students' ability to…

This study analyses fifteen months of circulation data from a popular titles collection at a regional campus undergraduate library. To better understand how popular titles collections in academic libraries are used, this data analysis shows a breakdown of use amongst the entire campus population (students, faculty, and staff). Faculty are the most…

The approach that students take in their studies at university is critical not only for their academic success but is equally important in life-long learning for their career and professional development. Cognitive science has demonstrated that retesting oneself on material when learning enhances and promotes greater retention of knowledge…
