To address the variability of naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention outcomes, the current study sought to isolate the effects of the instructional strategies of caregiver-mediated naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions. In this comparative efficacy trial, mothers of 111 autistic children (18-48 months) were randomized to…

Preparing prospective mathematics teachers to become teachers who recognize and respond to students' mathematical needs is challenging. In this study, we use the construct of critical incident as a tool to support prospective mathematics teachers' reflection on their authentic fieldwork activities, notice students' thinking, and link it to the…

Over a 12-year period, this study examined the effects of the Family Check-Up preventive intervention model on both observed and self-reported parenting behaviors of mothers and fathers as well as how those parenting behaviors were associated with young adult antisocial behavior. Teachers identified 641 early adolescent youth from school settings…

This case study delves into the intricacies of internationalization in higher education through the lens of phenomenology and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Based on original research with 30 international students and staff across three UK institutions, the study reveals the hidden dimensions of xeno-racism, angelism, and ethical…

Families play a pivotal role in fostering children's science literacy, interests, and identities through everyday interactions and informal learning contexts, with parents as main facilitators. An essential, yet often underexplored, aspect of this process is the role of emotions in shaping science learning experiences. Emotions serve as powerful…

Dialogic classroom discussions where students collaboratively share and reason through complex ideas are critical for achieving ambitious reform goals for student learning. However, K-12 classroom talk is predominantly characterized by monologic, "teacher-centered" discourse patterns that have proven exceedingly resilient to change.…

In Austria and other European countries, the initial segregation of learners of the language of instruction reflects the dominance of monolingual educational traditions. While prior research has extensively explored principals' and teachers' self-reported strategies for addressing the needs of language of instruction learners, little is known…

This paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of the 'panopticon' in educational research, problematising its validity and offering a fresh conceptualisation of teacher surveillance. The school as a 'panopticon' is a well-established concept which helpfully enables a consideration of aspects of high-stakes accountability. The present paper…

"Micro-analysis of noticing" is introduced as a method to analyze prospective teacher noticing, one that privileges the high variation exhibited by novice learners. The intent was to understand how prospective teachers' noticing moments suggest trajectories within and across whole-class discussions. We also focused on how prospective…

Numerous studies have reported positive outcomes of noticing interventions on the development of prospective mathematics teachers' (PMTs) noticing of a range of important aspects of classroom instruction. Less is known, however, about whether noticing skills that are developed during an intervention transfer to support PMTs' in-the-moment noticing…

In this study, we compared the results of 27 special education teachers' evaluations using two different observation instruments, the Framework for Teaching (FFT), and the Explicit Instruction observation protocol of the Recognizing Effective Special Education Teachers (RESET) observation system. Results indicate differences in the rank-ordering…

A group of educators directed their own learning by creating a professional development experience involving peer observations. Professional development (PD) is complex and can be any activity aimed at improving teacher knowledge, enhancing practice, and increasing student achievement. A group of high school teachers gathered and met regularly to…

Students with disabilities and/or those who have difficulty learning mathematical concepts can be found in almost every classroom. Over the last several decades, the responsibilities and roles of general and special education educators have shifted, blurring the conventionally held boundaries between special education and general education…

Teacher observations are conducted across school districts throughout the country to support school leaders and teachers in improving instructional practice. Teacher implementation of administrative feedback may vary depending on teachers' perceptions of the relevance and practicality of the feedback. This basic qualitative study was conducted…

Research on emergent autism spectrum disorder increasingly uses observational measures to investigate parenting of young children with or at elevated likelihood of autism. This systematic review analysed 21 papers narratively, including 13 unique 'coding approaches' and 63 parenting constructs. Through a comprehensive consensus decision-making…
