Gas Turbine Engines (GTE) have the highest power-to-weight ratio among Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). Its modularity and ability to utilize various types of fuel make it highly recommended in power plants, naval transportation, and, of course, the most equipped in aviation. The lack of GTEs' real data is increasing a recognized need for…

Language assessment is a central aspect not only of language education in the general population, but also amongst heterogeneous, low-incidence populations. One such population are immigrant deaf and hard-of-hearing learners (IDML) who are bimodal-multilingual and whose languages development often includes the spoken, written, and/or signed…

We estimate the spillover impacts of charter schools on public schools and public school students. We leverage administrative data and quasi-random assignment of charter school openings in Texas using application scores from the State Board of Education. This design capitalizes on the discontinuous increase in approval likelihood for charter…

This two-wave study aimed to adapt the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) to the Turkish language and cultural context. At Time 1, participants included 1033 Turkish high school students (M[subscript age] = 15.91, SD = 0.36; 41.9% female) from 26 public schools located in Ankara, Türkiye. At Time 2, 849 students…

Because autistic youth experience increased suicide risk and there are no suicide risk screening tools for this population, existing measures need to be evaluated and then modified with input from the autism community. This pilot study obtained feedback from autistic youth, caregivers, and autism specialist clinicians (N = 14) on the applicability…

This content analysis examined the evaluative components of elementary, high-stakes, state standardized writing sample rubrics. We explored the ten most populated states in the United States, and thus most influential states, to yield salient trends in writing evaluation for early grades. Using Spandel's analytical traits as our conceptual…

This study examined the relationship between student engagement, assessment preferences and ethnicity among university students. 64 participants who were enrolled in either BSc Psychology or BSc Psychology (Sport, Health and Exercise) at a UK university took part in the survey. The survey assessed student engagement through the University Student…

This paper presents research activity on computer-based mathematics learning to study the effectiveness of open-source teaching computer platforms (Canvas) in computer-assisted instruction. We designed a set of multiple-choice online quizzes as a dynamical flow-chart of possible paths to follow while solving a difficult math problem on…

Objective: To examine the Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD--Symptoms and Normal Behavior scale (SWAN) clinical utility as a diagnostic measure of ADHD in an ADHD clinic sample. Method: In a sample of 357 children (6-11 years old) referred for evaluation at an academic medical center, we explored the SWAN's diagnostic and convergent validity with…

This study introduces the "ChatGPT Usage Scale for Foreign Language Learners," designed to evaluate the usage of AI chatbots in language learning. The scale was developed based on a comprehensive literature review and expert evaluations, ensuring a strong theoretical foundation and content validity. It comprises three sub-dimensions…

Background: Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a complex motor speech disorder that requires careful differential diagnosis, particularly in languages where validated diagnostic tools are lacking. The Dynamic Evaluation of Motor Speech Skill (DEMSS) is a widely used tool for identifying CAS, but a Turkish version had not yet been developed.…

This research aimed to: (1) develop interactive multimedia to enhance performance on the National Educational Test at the basic level in Mathematics, (2) develop teachers' competency in interactive multimedia utilization, and (3) investigate the effects of interactive multimedia on student learning outcomes. The study involved two target groups:…

This study examines the impact of the socioconstructivist approach on the academic performance of elementary school students and teachers in Peru to evaluate its implementation within the national educational policy. A mixed approach with a descriptive and causal-explanatory design was adopted, combining documentary analysis with bibliometric…

The urgency of developing and validating sustainability competence instruments for prospective teachers in Indonesia stems from the pivotal role teachers play in embedding sustainable development principles into education. This study aims to analyze this urgency, synthesize key themes, and visualize conceptual relationships using data collected…

For STEM faculty to approach teaching as a scientist, they must develop tools for data collection and analysis of student learning outcomes. Here, we report a methodology for the development of a learning outcomes assessment instrument and statistical analysis of that instrument that can be undertaken in a short amount of time by a few faculty…
