Peer-mediated intervention (PMI) within the inclusive early childhood setting increases social exposure between children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing peers. However, PMI research to date has provided limited data on the adherence of strategies taught to typically developing peers during training. The present study…

This study examined the roles of parental gender and context in the communicative functions of parents' child-directed speech. Seventy three families with toddlers participated in the study. Dyadic and triadic parent-toddler interactions were videotaped during structured play activities. Results indicated context-dependent variability in parents'…

Various course delivery methods exist within higher education ranging from face-to-face to HyFlex (hybrid flexible) methods. This research is a mixed method, exploratory study designed to investigate the perceived effectiveness of Flipgrid, an online video discussion board learning tool that can be utilized on a smart phone, in HyFlex delivery…

As part of the requirements for Residency I, a clinical-based course to prepare undergraduates for teaching, teacher candidates (art, music, physical education, agriculture, English, history, math, and science) participated in "ATLAS" video case analysis activities to examine the instructional strategies of accomplished teachers. Before…

This study reports a survey conducted to explore the extent of use of Video Clip (VC) by academic staff for teaching and learning at the Faculty of Education, University of Calabar, Nigeria. Five Research questions were formulated to guide the study. The population of the study was made up of all lecturers in the Faculty. The data were obtained…

Tasks involving real-world contexts offer opportunities for teachers to engage students in mathematical practices (Standards for Mathematical Practice; NGA Center and CCSSO 2010). The practice of reasoning abstractly and quantitatively requires students to decontextualize and contextualize a task. Decontextualizing a task involves representing it…

This paper presents a praxeological analysis, based on ATD (Anthropological Theory of the Didactic), of the topic of Fourier series, as this topic is introduced and used in mathematics and in electrical engineering, more precisely in signal theory. The analysis is based mainly on one widely used textbook in mathematics for engineers, and a…

The use of standardized simulations in social work education has increased in recent years, yet there is limited research on the use of simulations to teach supervision skills. This study explores MSW students' perceptions of participating in standardized simulations in a supervision course. The MSW students' feedback indicates they found engaging…

The purpose of this study was to explore how first-grade teachers respond to pupils in emotional distress within the framework of co-regulation. Co-regulation in this context refers to an adult-child interactive process that supports children in learning to regulate their emotions. We conducted focus group interviews at four primary schools in…

Understanding fast speech can be an ongoing challenge for English learners of all levels. Even after years of study, learners might be accustomed to clear, slow classroom English and struggle with understanding the reductions that proficient speakers of English use in fast, fluent speech. Many online resources exist to help students learn about…

We report on a distance learning experimental project for chemistry-major students on the synthesis of ethyl dodecanoate (C[subscript 11]CO[subscript 2]Et), a model for biodiesel, considering green chemistry principles. Thus, we employed a "recyclable acid catalyst" (an ionic liquid) and used chemometrics and microwave heating (MW) to…

Young children's misbehaviours can be challenging to interpret, evaluate, and intervene on. In turn, adults' interventions on children's transgressions inform children about how others view their actions. In the current research, we examined adult responses to recordings of everyday transgressions committed by young children. This research adopted…

As political participation across the globe grows increasingly contentious and accusations of "fake news" and "post-truth" politics rise, the how, where, and why of civic learning in schools are called into question. In contrast, multimodal practices such as digital video production continue to promote youth engagement and…

Reflective practice is a crucial element of professional growth that is gaining in popularity in teacher education, yet the ability to reflect is a skill that is neither natural nor easy to develop. This paper reports on an investigation that sought to establish if pre-service teachers at a South African university -- in the process of learning to…

This case study investigated the focus and characteristics of two student teachers' noticing when viewing 360 video of their own teaching. Changes in noticing based on changes in prompts and affordances of 360 video reported by the student teachers were also studied. Written responses to prompts designed to elicit noticing, which student teachers…
