Research on co-teaching in higher education often focuses on the benefits to the apprentice, but co-teaching partnerships should benefit both team members. As part of our institution's recent membership in a professional development network for future STEM faculty, we developed a postdoctoral certificate in teaching excellence that includes…

Consent is essential for legal and ethical psychological practice. EPs in the UK work with children and young people from ages 0 to 25, meaning that consent gaining practices must take account of the complexities of different professional guidelines, legislation, and case law depending on the age and competence of individual service users.

Online learning has become popular for corporations to train their professionals and has increased in usage since COVID-19. Online learning enables learners to take courses alone via self-directed learning, with other students in a synchronous environment, or via a blended combination of self-directed and instructor-led learning. Multiple trending…

This paper reflects on the delivery of Professional Doctorate programmes from a sample of educational (EdD) and sustainable built environment (DSBE) practitioners at a Welsh University in the United Kingdom (UK). The paper explores the 'learner journey' of a sample of Professional Doctorate students as they navigate their studies during COVID-19…

This paper analyses the methodologies in 148 empirical data-driven learning studies for L2 English in prestige journals to examine best practice. Manual coding and corpus analysis of key words and n-grams from the past 5 years (2018-2022) explore the field as a whole and how methodologies have evolved, suggesting improvements and future avenues…

The problem to be explored in the proposed study will be to determine to what extent public and private leaders utilize scientific evidence-based knowledge, ethical considerations, and public policy in their executive decision-making, particularly during emergent situations. There are numerous examples of where it appeared leaders lacked ethical…

Many students rely on rote algorithms that have been recently taught as they look for a direct way to tackle challenging problems. Especially for students who have not succeeded in the typical high-school curriculum, problem-solving in a novel situation is complex, and students ask for a direct way to solve rather than persevering. The purpose of…

This case study explores effective practices within a district's early care and education model. Interviews were conducted with eight parents of high-performing students and seven district ECE partners from Promise City. The results of this case study lead to the development of a model that comprises best practices within the (a) informal ECE…

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological research study was to examine if utilizing performing arts elements as teaching tools in large-group professional development (PD) sessions for K-12 educators increased educator engagement during PD. The problem of practice was the lack of K-12 educator engagement during large-group PD sessions. The…

We sought to identify which aspects of our professional development program, the Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate STEM Education (CAUSE), were most useful for the participants. CAUSE was designed to support STEM faculty as they implement evidence-based teaching practices. We interviewed six faculty participants (Fellows) to address…

Using data from multiple informants has long been considered best practice in education. However, multiple informants often disagree on similar constructs, complicating decision-making. Polynomial regression and response-surface analysis (PRA) is often used to test the congruence effect between multiple informants on an outcome. However, PRA…

Following the increasing impacts on the value of Western play-based pedagogy, early childhood (EC) teachers in China face developmental challenges related to understanding and implementing play-based mathematical education. The purpose of this paper is to explore Chinese EC teachers' perspectives on play-based mathematics teaching. In this…
