Background: Self-regulation in learning (SRL) represents a major topic in educational research. Nevertheless, there remains a gap in the research concerning how teachers can incorporate SRL into the classroom. This study focuses on the Professional Vision for SRL (PfS) method, which aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice so that…

The number of online courses in higher education is on the rise. However, empirical evidence elucidating best practices for synchronous online instruction is needed to best implement these courses. The research purposes were to examine synchronous online class sessions to (1) quantify interaction type, frequency, and rate, (2) quantify student…

As people today use information products in contexts with distractions, we need to design for people's attention. User experience design routinely relies on behavioral design to engage distracted users and nudge them toward specific behavior. Although practiced in user experience design, behavioral design is less known in technical communication.…

In order to best serve students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), teachers and other in-school support personnel need to identify and effectively implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) in their classrooms. One EBP for students with ASD is video-based instruction, including video prompting, a form of video modeling. The authors provide…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of scaffolding prompt questions on learners' self-regulated learning about the Nature of Science (NOS) in a hypermedia environment. In this study, mixed methods research design was employed. Sixty-four pre-service science teachers (n=64) were randomly assigned to the experimental group (N:33, scaffolding…

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of a simultaneous prompting procedure on the writing performance of three upper-elementary-level students diagnosed with learning disabilities (LD). Interventionists gave task directions followed by model prompts with a 0-s time delay to teach students composition. Non-targeted…

Case-based instruction (CBI) provides a way to vicariously engage preservice teachers in their future teaching realities. However, little research has considered how different discussion facilitation strategies relate to the development of preservice teachers' instructional design (ID) skills. We used an embedded mixed methods case study research…

Do you work tirelessly to make your math lessons meaningful, challenging, accessible, and engaging?

Analogical reasoning is assumed to play a large role in learning and problem solving in everyday and school settings. It was examined whether a newly developed dynamic test of analogical reasoning would be sufficiently difficult for identifying young gifted children's potential for solving analogies. The study included 74 gifted (n = 31) and…

The purpose of this study was to explore how students interacted with guidance to conduct a scientific inquiry in a physics simulation by using the eye-tracking techniques. The participants were 51 7th graders, and an eye-tracking system was used to record their visual behaviors and log data while they were using the simulation. As for data…

Students often express frustrations and negative feelings about math (Ruffins, 2007). The purpose of this chapter was to describe several writing activities that can be used during math instruction to help students gain a greater understanding of mathematical concepts. By doing so, students will recognize how math is all around them, and they will…

This article draws heavily on the author's critical autobiography: "Eileen Adams: Agent of Change." It presents evidence of the value of drawing as a medium for learning, particularly in art and design, and argues that drawing is a useful educational tool. The premise is that drawing makes you think. This article explains various…

For classroom norms to be effective, beginning with a coconstructed, inclusive, and equitable process (Kastberg and Frye 2013) can be helpful. This involves engaging all students in meaningful discussions about the norms and continually reinforcing these understandings throughout the year. However, early in the year, not all students are willing…

Previous research demonstrates the efficacy of behavioral skills training with a textual prompt to establish greetings and conversational skills. This study examined the efficacy of a brief intervention of textual prompts with performance feedback for increasing social niceties of adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder in a…
