Vocational teachers must address provincial curricular outcomes, vocational accreditation requirements, and current vocational practices in their teaching and assessment. In doing so, they must prepare their students for the written summative assessments required for trade certification while teaching the students the technical skills necessary…

Drawing from Scholarship of Teaching and Learning alongside belongingness research, this manuscript examines why students perceive the dependence of academic belonging on performance, especially early in an academic program. It then offers suggestions for crafting learning environments that (a) grow student capacities to (re-)envision perceptions…

This study presents a framework for understanding the factors influencing graduate students' online learning readiness using a modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. A quantitative research method was adopted with data collected from 3,120 graduate students at the University of Ibadan. Structural Equation…

This research aimed to (1) investigate current conditions, desirable conditions, and needs assessment of educational institution management for quality enhancement, and (2) develop management approaches and a comprehensive model for educational institutions in Primary Educational Service Area Offices in Northeastern Thailand. The study employed a…

Teaching introductory ethics course or courses with strong ethics content to first- and second-year undergraduate students presents numerous challenges. Most students register for these courses to meet a general education requirement or believe they do not need education in ethics because they have received cultural, social, and religious…

The study established the validity and reliability of a weighted individual performance-based assessment tool within the utility scope of middle school orchestral strings. The following research questions guided this study: 1. What specific string-playing behaviors and corresponding criteria validate a weighted individual performance-based…

We presented participants with lecture videos at different speeds and tested immediate and delayed (1 week) comprehension. Results revealed minimal costs incurred by increasing video speed from 1x to 1.5x, or 2x speed, but performance declined beyond 2x speed. We also compared learning outcomes after watching videos once at 1x or twice at 2x…

Although instructional coaches are deeply committed to continuous improvement, they rarely have access to professional learning themselves. Rarer still is differentiated professional learning that meets coaches where they are in their careers and their professional growth. Just as Florida's Orange County Public Schools accentuates the importance…

The instructional coaches in Kildeer Countryside School District 96 (KCSD 96), outside Chicago, are like tugboats, a key part of a maritime navigation system. Just as tugboats nudge and guide barges and ships that need steering assistance to navigate tricky waters, the coaches in KCSD 96 nudge and guide educators to navigate toward school and…

The past decade has witnessed a strong, standards-based call for improving what mathematics is taught and how it is taught. In the USA, districts have hired instructional coaches to help teachers shift their teaching from algorithm-based instruction to instruction that is more student-centered and conceptually focused. The purpose of this study…

Securing the quality of Australian education is a key policy target, and teaching workforce development has long been identified as the means to that end. This case of personalised professional learning in a school through a series of interactions between teachers and university-employed teacher educators (as academic coaches) speaks to teachers'…

The article identifies current trends with respect to the governance and management of institutional performance in higher education institutions and discusses how recent developments in this area can be interpreted. It is argued that performance governance is changing with respect to the way performances are documented, measured and disseminated.…

The mesk method, which is included in the Classical Turkish Music tradition, which is an important heritage of Turkish culture, has always had a very important place in the process until the adoption and spread of the use of notes. Performance features, which are effective in the formation of performance, were shaped and developed through mesk and…

The importance of nutrition is known in swimming as in other sports branches. Knowing the right strategies for nutrition will enable swimmers to improve their recovery time as well as increase their performance. This study aims to investigate the effects of with and without diet training programs on the performance and recovery times of male…

If neurotypical people rely on specialized perceptual mechanisms when perceiving biological motion, then one would not expect an association between task performance and IQ. However, if those with ASD recruit higher order cognitive skills when solving biological motion tasks, performance may be predicted by IQ. In a meta-analysis that included 19…
