Educators who are urged to use evidence-based practices to improve instruction often end up disappointed at the results, which fall short of those touted in the research and by the What Works Clearinghouse. Stanley Pogrow explains how common strategies researchers use to demonstrate evidence of success, such as statistical significance of or…

This paper describes a case study of one large asynchronous college-level organizational psychology class taught during COVID-19, in which a major intent was to develop virtual teamwork skills in students. A literature review yielded four challenges of virtual teams in higher education--communication, trust, connection and social bonding, and…

Purpose: This paper aims to identify predictors that affect business student perceptions on ethical decision-making. This paper also investigates how those predictors impact the decision-making related to ethical matters among Vietnamese business students. Design/methodology/approach: A survey was conducted to collect data for testing the…

This dissertation responds to what Sarah Kavanagh and Katie Danielson (2020) call a "raging fire of debate about the relationship between justice and practice" in the scholarship around teacher education. Expanding upon the research focusing on clinical simulations for teacher education as well as the critiques of Practice-Based Teacher…

Modern mindfulness is a catch-all term. Just exactly what it looks like within the context of education and how it is taught vastly varies. As such, program fidelity and integrity is questioned. Here a definition of mindful self-regulated learning is proposed and the Mindful Self-Regulated Learning Scale (m-SRLS) is developed. This includes item…

While in traditional mathematics teaching methods, it is possible to prove concepts while teaching geometry and to reach generalizations that require more complex definitions by using concept findings, while in today's geometry teaching, learning that activates the student's discovery process gains importance. In this context, the aim of this…

This report describes initial findings from a study conducted across three California school districts during the 2021-22 school year of science curriculum materials that were designed to promote learning as called for by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The study, led by WestEd, was an independent randomized controlled trial to…

Although everybody learns at their own pace, the traditional, standardized education system remains prevalent. Unfortunately, this traditional system does not meet all learner needs and results in low academic achievement as demonstrated by state and national standardized tests (Netcoh, 2017; Pennsylvania Department of Education, 2019c; Schwahn…

Instructors of post-secondary level courses sought novel ways of conveying content to a diversifying set of students. Likewise, the growth of computing and information technologies opened more avenues for instruction. Constructivist theories of education gained support in instructional efficacy. Instructors needed to balance the need of covering…

Millions Learning, a project of the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution, explores scaling and sustaining effective innovations leading to improved system-wide approaches. CUE is implementing a series of Real-time Scaling Labs (RTSLs), in partnership with local institutions in several countries, to generate evidence…

The purpose of this quantitative study (n=126) was to identify if differences exist between Title I and non-Title I elementary teachers in the confidence levels of social and emotional learning (SEL) teaching practices. Social and emotional learning promotes critical thinking and builds confidence (Hardy, 2022). SEL also reduces discipline issues…

In the field of visual disabilities, students who have visual impairments in addition to other disabilities receive limited amounts of direct service time from a teacher of students who are visually impaired (TVI), leaving most of their education in the hands of special education teachers and paraprofessionals. These professionals can support…

While artificial intelligence (AI) has been integral in daily life for decades, the release of open generative AI (GAI) such as ChatGPT has considerably accelerated scholars' interest in the impact of GAI in education. Both promises and fears of GAI have been becoming apparent. This quantitative study explored teachers' perspectives on GAI and its…

As part of a larger study investigating the perceptions of university academics about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); STEM learning environments; and necessary capabilities for STEM educators at a university, this article reports a sample of academics' perceptions of STEM and its teaching and learning, as gleaned from…
