While design is associated with novelty and creativity, few studies have explored the cognitive processes employed during team interactions. Design practice is collaborative where designers work in multidisciplinary teams. Along with the cognitive skills involved in designing, designers also need skills to work in teams, share information, and…

The present study aimed at enhancing the assessment of adaptive behavior in adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder through the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System-Second Edition. To overcome the limits underpinning floor effect, which are commonly observed with the traditional methods, the statistical Hessl method and its revision by Orsini,…

This study aimed at helping students to improve their leadership skills by utilizing the methodology of Participatory Action Research in which two cycles of research (one cycle per semester) were conducted during the Academic Year of 2021. The three anticipated developmental outcomes of change, learning, and knowledge were gained through the…

Creative thinking is needed to thrive in our fast-changing world. It has been shown that creative thinking skills can be enhanced through training. Whereas previous research has mainly focused on examining the overall effectiveness of comprehensive creativity training programs, this study examined the effectiveness of four cognitive-based training…

For the current study, a multi-measure, micro-analytic approach was used to prospectively explore the role of preliminary symbolic play with single and multi-objects in language milestone development and vice versa. Fourteen infants followed up in monthly one hour sessions between the ages of 8 and 16 months. Their spontaneous play acts and vocal…

Several studies have previously investigated the effects of sticky mittens training on reaching and grasping development. However, recent critique casted doubts on the robustness of the motor effect of this training. The current study presents a pre-registered report that aimed to generalize these effects to Swedish infants. Three-month-old…

As computers have become commonplace in everyday life, educators have begun to shift focus from "working" with computers (computer literacy) to "thinking" with computers (computational thinking). This article describes the progression of computational thinking (CT) from a historical perspective. This paper will first review the…

Based on an enactivist perspective on learning mathematics, we articulate three key processes of designing mathematics-grounding activities (MGAs) where students' mathematical thinking can be motivated and shaped with the interactions between their enactments and the evolving tasks in the activities. Then, evaluation criteria and design steps will…

There are three unique cognitive mechanisms during note taking: generative processing, summarization, and sustained attention. Generative processing is active construction of associations between novel information and prior knowledge and experiences. Summarization forces identification of the most pertinent information to create a coherent…

This work reports the results of an investigation that aimed to know the informal reasoning of high school students with and about the frequency approach of probability and the law of large numbers when they were faced with a problem about random intervals. The research question was as follows: What features of students' reasoning about the…

Considerable amount of research in educational data mining has focused on developing efficient algorithms for Knowledge Tracing (KT). However, in practice, many real-world learning systems used at scale struggle to implement KT capabilities, especially if they weren't originally designed for it. One key challenge is to accurately label existing…

The training of researchers in the development of educational competencies is the central issue of this study. The process for research training is described. Training researchers in the development of educational competences is advocated and a profile of research skills developed. Training for research is different from training for the teaching…

This study provided handwriting and literacy readiness for students in Pre-K using Get Set for School Readiness & Writing curriculum. Children who struggle with handwriting and literacy skills during the early childhood development years may also struggle with lower academic attainment throughout their school career (Grindle et al., 2017).…

Whereas it is generally accepted that theory of mind and language are related constructs, the nature of the relation remains unclear. Past research has suggested that two related, but distinct, components of theory of mind are differentially related to language. The present study attempted to clarify the relation between theory of mind and…

Preparative chromatography is one of the most common and important purification techniques in organic chemistry and is employed in laboratories across the globe. In order to facilitate student proficiency with the method, a unique approach for the separation of estragole, ethyl cinnamate, and cinnamyl alcohol using microscale preparative flash…
