The belief, which includes the ability of doing something effectively, is self-efficacy. In this study, effective learning were intended to provide the participants, by using simulation and micro-teaching techniques from current method and approaches considering internationals standarts in growing school leaders. In this context, the purpose of…

Information is generally more memorable after it is studied and tested than when it is only studied. One must be cautious to use this phenomenon strategically, however, due to uncertainty about whether testing improves memorability for only tested material, facilitates learning of related non-tested content, or inhibits memory of non-tested…

The purpose of this study was to explore a microanalysis technique for measuring instrumentalists' self-regulation tendencies during music practice. A secondary purpose was to investigate whether an intervention informed by the features of the microanalysis technique would increase the students' self-regulated learning tendencies. Three…

In this research, the effectiveness of the most to least prompting instruction method in teaching dynamic stretching exercises to adults with intellectual disabilities has been evaluated. At the same time, the impact of this instruction on flexibility and balance which are among physical fitness components has also been determined. A single…

Non-ethical Information and Communication Technology (ICT) usage may be minimized by understanding ethical problems related to the ICT. In addition, successful implementation of ICT requires not only developing practical skills about ICT but also gain basic knowledge regarding ICT ethics. However, in Turkey, only few universities offer courses…

Although leadership training programs have been shown to better prepare college students for the professional world, higher education needs empirically-based leadership interventions to demonstrate program effectiveness. This qualitative descriptive study describes how a servant leadership training program, completed by students in a higher…

Many language teachers employ collaborative learning within their classrooms. However, expectations surrounding the efficacy of working collaboratively need to be empirically verified. This study employed dynamic assessment to investigate whether learners who are situated within an undergraduate Qatari EFL context learn second language grammatical…

This study employed a multisite design to investigate the differential impact of deductive and guided inductive instruction for second language (L2) grammar development in ecologically valid classroom contexts. Students (n = 138) from eight intact third-year L2 Spanish classes in three public high schools in the United States received deductive…

The purpose of this paper was 1) to investigate the effects of CBI training on awareness and content knowledge to investigate the English knowledge of young people involved in mangrove forest conservation and ecotourism, and 2) to investigate the perception of young people on the importance of mangrove forest and natural resource conservation and…

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of blended learning instruction on vocabulary knowledge of Thai primary school students and students' perceptions toward learning vocabulary through blended learning instruction. A mixed-methods approach was used. Quantitatively, a single group pretest-posttest design was used to measure students'…

There has recently been a great deal of theoretical interest in the relevance of the intellectual virtues for education, including undergraduate education. This study introduces a novel online module, as part of a larger university-wide initiative, to introduce and potentially inculcate intellectual virtue in students. Using a non-experimental…
