Meyers, Coby V.; Hitt, Dallas Hambrick – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2018
Research suggests that high-quality school improvement planning reflective of the school's needs and objectives is central to a principal's success in leading a school. Some American scholars contend that successfully planned and executed "quick wins" are critically important to launching high-level organizational change processes…

Soysal, Sumeyra; Karaman, Haydar; Dogan, Nuri – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2018
Purpose of the Study: Missing data are a common problem encountered while implementing measurement instruments. Yet the extent to which reliability, validity, average discrimination and difficulty of the test results are affected by the missing data has not been studied much. Since it is inevitable that missing data have an impact on the…

Ramsdell-Hudock, Heather L.; Stuart, Andrew; Parham, Douglas F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: We aimed to provide novel information on utterance duration as it relates to vocal type, facial affect, gaze direction, and age in the prelinguistic/early linguistic infant. Method: Infant utterances were analyzed from longitudinal recordings of 15 infants at 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 months of age. Utterance durations were measured and coded…

Cawthon, Stephanie W.; Fink, Bentley; Schoffstall, Sarah; Wendel, Erica – American Annals of the Deaf, 2018
Social skills are a vehicle by which individuals negotiate important relationships. The present article presents historical data on how social skills in deaf students were conceptualized and studied empirically during the period 1990-2015. Using a structured literature review approach, the researchers coded 266 articles for theoretical frameworks…

Van Dessel, Pieter; Eder, Andreas B.; Hughes, Sean – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Over the past decade an increasing number of studies across a range of domains have shown that the repeated performance of approach and avoidance (AA) actions in response to a stimulus leads to changes in the evaluation of that stimulus. The dominant (motivational-systems) account in this area claims that these effects are caused by a rewiring of…

Evans, Lacey – ProQuest LLC, 2018
This study examined the effects of participation of peer volunteers in the Transitions Program for young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a program that facilitates social skills and social interactions. Participants in this study were peer volunteers in the Transitions Program. Each peer volunteer completed a questionnaire, following…

Liao, Shu-Min – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2023
SCRATCH, developed by the Media Lab at MIT, is a kid-friendly visual programming language, designed to introduce programming to children and teens in a "more thinkable, more meaningful, and more social" way. Although it was initially intended for K-12 students, educators have used it for higher education as well, and found it…

Zhanxia Yang; Patricia Moore Shaffer; Courtney Hagan; Parastu Dubash; Marina Bers – Grantee Submission, 2023
The aim of this study was to explore how the Coding as Another Language using ScratchJr (CAL-ScratchJr) curriculum, developed by Boston College's DevTech Research Group utilizing the ScratchJr app, impacted second grade students' computational thinking, coding skills, and reading comprehension. To accomplish this, the research team randomly…

Kim, Young Rae; Park, Mi Sun; Tjoe, Hartono – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2021
In recent years, mathematics classrooms in the U.S. and around the world have seen an increasing integration of educational robotics with interest from both students and teachers. Through their robotics coding activities, students in the present study discovered the concepts of special angle pairs in geometry--namely, complementary and…

Li, Weidong; Chen, Yung-Ju; Xiang, Ping; Xie, Xiuge; Li, Yilin – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2017
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to: (a) examine the impact of the Silverman and Solmon article (1998) on how researchers handle the unit of analysis issue in their field-based intervention research in physical education in the United States and summarize statistical approaches that have been used to analyze the data, and (b) provide…

van Schalkwyk, Gerrit I.; Volkmar, Fred R.; Corlett, Philip R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
The co-occurrence of psychotic and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms represents an important clinical challenge. Here we consider this problem in the context of a computational psychiatry approach that has been applied to both conditions--predictive coding. Some symptoms of schizophrenia have been explained in terms of a failure of top-down…

Beaujean, A. Alexander – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2016
One of the ways to increase the reproducibility of research is for authors to provide a sufficient description of the data analytic procedures so that others can replicate the results. The publishers of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V) do not follow these guidelines when reporting their confirmatory factor…

Paaßen, Benjamin; Jensen, Joris; Hammer, Barbara – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
The first intelligent tutoring systems for computer programming have been proposed more than 30 years ago, mostly focusing on well defined programming tasks e.g. in the context of logic programming. Recent systems also teach complex programs, where explicit modelling of every possible program and mistake is no longer possible. Such systems are…

Fisher, Aidan A.E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Computational approaches toward simulating chemical systems and evaluating experimental data has gathered great momentum in recent years. The onset of more powerful computers and advanced software has been instrumental to this end. This manuscript presents a hands-on activity which trains students in basic coding skills within the Matlab…
