Advanced practice provider (APP) fellowship programs are comprehensive programs designed for physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to deliver safe, high-quality care in their specialized areas of practice (Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship Accreditation TM, 2023). An APP…

This study aims to develop and validate a comprehensive scale for assessing students' sustainability competence in education for sustainable development (ESD). Existing ESD assessment tools have faced criticism for lacking rigorous design and validation. Following a three-phase procedure proposed by Boateng et al., the study utilized qualitative…

As Bloom (1984) stated that the way to increase students' achievements with one-to-one tutorial support can be the subject of instructional technologies today. In this context, the aim of the study was to design, develop and improve a web-based dynamic assessment system aimed at contributing to mathematics learning of secondary school students.…

Classroom management skills are essential for effective teaching and consequently form an integral part of undergraduate teaching degrees. Self-efficacy in classroom management influences an individual's willingness to undertake specific actions and their perseverance in the face of difficulties in executing these actions. In order to track the…

The article is a critical reflection on a study conducted to evaluate the student-perceived value of instructor presence techniques. The study utilized the author-created Instructor Presence Technique Value Scale (IPTVS) in attempts to measure variations in the value of differing instructor presence techniques across communication media. The…

Identity has been proposed as a mechanism to increase persistence within Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education programs. To assess the impact of identity on STEM persistence, measures that produce valid and reliable data within a given STEM discipline need to be employed. Therefore, this study developed and evaluated…

Children interact with science from the moment of their birth. By means of the scientific experiences they have as a result of this interaction, children acquire numerous skills related to science at the early ages. These scientific skills and children's orientation towards science such as awareness, attitude, proficiency, inquisitiveness, as well…

Background: Students are more effective when they employ appropriate strategies to regulate their learning processes and outcomes. However, many teachers do not provide, or provide very little, explicit instructions to promote this self-regulated learning (SRL). This suggests that teachers' belief systems may include beliefs that may be…

The study aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the expectations of students from the discipline program implemented in their schools. The study was conducted with students studying in seven different high schools in fall semester of 2019-2020 school year. As a result of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), a 5-point Likert…

Objectives: Children are among the most vulnerable population groups with regard to environmental risks. Nursing students must be fully educated on children's environmental health as they are in a key position to prevent and reduce the effects of environmental hazards.
