In this research, we explored how the two dimensions of creativity--novelty and utility--interact to influence employees' in-role performance. Drawing on flow theory, we hypothesize that the interaction between novelty and utility indirectly and positively affects in-role performance via flow. We also hypothesize that learning goal orientation…

Supervision models are fundamental to our supervision practices and criticized for lacking empirical support. As a data-driven approach based on research with expert supervisors, Cohesive Model of Supervision unifies existing models' central premises in a meaningful manner and emphasizes the understated areas of supervision practice.

Little is known about differences in dosage or feedback that make teacher coaching effective in relation to teacher and student outcomes. This study builds upon previous research on the Collaborative Model for Promoting Competence and Success (COMPASS) to understand the impact of different types (face-to-face coaching vs. emailed feedback) and…

Education in Doctor of Medicine programs has moved towards an emphasis on clinical competency, with entrustable professional activities providing a framework of learning objectives and outcomes to be assessed within the clinical environment.

To ensure that new teachers enter classrooms poised for success, we need more evidence regarding supports that can expedite skill development during teacher education. In this study, we capitalize on mixed-reality simulations as a setting for evaluating such supports. Using a randomized control trial, we examine the extent to which coaching…

In this paper, I start from a posthumanist understanding of subjectivity to stress how our ways of relating do not follow from previously formed intentions but emerge in assemblages. The fact that we hold certain theoretical ascriptions does not assure that we will relate in ways that are consistent with them. We might intend to embrace…

Caregiver coaching is a mutually beneficial practice used by early interventionists (EIs) to build caregivers' confidence and capacities to support their children, which, in turn, leads to EIs gaining knowledge from families and developing new skills (e.g., Douglas et al., 2020; Meadan et al., 2020). Coaches (i.e., EIs) help others (i.e.,…

Many recent higher education reforms worldwide have been legitimated by their potential impact on the performance of universities and colleges.

This article examines the extent to which research performance can be associated with specific organizational characteristics at…

Achievement goals have been key concepts for describing what motivates individuals in educational contexts.

Purpose: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition including persistent challenges with social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behavior. Though prospective memory failures are commonly observed in ASD population it has been less studied among adults with ASD. Prospective memory (PM) refers to the…

Based on the Achievement Goals Theory and Students' Approaches to Learning, we proposed a model in which students' self-efficacy acts as a mediator between students' performance-approach goals orientation and their approach to learning in dealing with academic tasks throughout an academic year. We used structural equation modelling (SEM) to test…

The purpose of this study is to determine if personality traits can predict the coaching intervention style preferences of teachers in the United States of America. The rationale for this study is to gain a better understanding of whether there are personality traits that are better suited to particular coaching techniques/methods. To address this…

Instructional coaching is an attractive alternative to one-size-fits-all teacher training and development in part because it is purposefully differentiated: Programming is aligned to individual teachers' needs and implemented by an individual coach. But, how much of the benefit of coaching as an instructional improvement model depends on the…
