To investigate the early development of episodic memory and future thinking in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we selected 94 participants each from a group of ASD and typically developing (TD) preschoolers. They were required to remember newly-acquired knowledge sources and anticipate action timings necessary for future events. Five-year-old…

In this study, we focus on mental speed and divergent thinking, examining their relationship and the influence of task speededness. Participants (N = 109) completed a set of processing speed tasks and a test battery measuring divergent thinking. We used two speeded divergent-thinking tasks of 2 minutes and two unspeeded tasks of 8 minutes to test…

Teacher workshops attract teachers with common goals; they wish to improve their teaching practices and subject and information technology knowledge. The asynchronous online discussion is the main activity in teacher workshops. An analytical model was developed in this study to examine the temporal characteristics of collaborative knowledge…

This article offers a critique of the manner in which doctoral supervision is conceptualised in a higher education system dominated by the market order. The authors consider the process of research supervision as an experience held in common, as a way of discovering the world together rather than as the fulfilment of discrete roles within a…

The central aim of this paper is to explore a kind of rationality that seeks to do justice to educational practice: to our understanding of its complexities and to its actual conduct. The enquiry begins with a review of the limits of standardising procedures, including their inbuilt technicist bias, which are increasingly dominant in educational…

Faculty members experience a gap between how they would prefer to spend their work time and how they actually do so. In this article we report results from a four-week workshop called "The Terrapin Time Initiative." It was guided by theories of behavioral economics and behavioral design, which suggest that small changes to the context,…

Sleep disorders (SD) are common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet relatively little is known about the potential genetic mechanisms involved in SD and ASD comorbidity. The current study begins to fill this gap with a gene enrichment study that (1) identifies risk genes that contribute to both SD and ASD which implicate circadian entrainment,…

How do children reason about the durations of daily experiences? Following Tillman and Barner's (2015) linguistic study, three children (age five, six, and seven) were asked to organize four everyday activities from the shortest duration to longest duration: watching a movie, brushing their teeth, sleeping at night, and eating lunch. After…

College students need both a rigorous liberal arts core curriculum and a faster track to graduation that would saddle them with less debt. This brief report discusses the concept of a three-year undergraduate degree in which requirements are shortened from 120 credit hours to 90 credit hours, and students complete 27 credit hours of core…

The present study was carried out on post-graduate students of Central University of Kashmir to investigate the impact of social media on their academic achievement. 120 post-graduate students studying in semester third from School of Education Central University of Kashmir selected randomly constituted the sample for study. Self-constructed…

Practice-oriented, socio-material investigations have surfaced the emergent nature of professional knowing and the significance of things for organising such knowing. However, in these accounts, one significant organising actor is largely overlooked: time. This paper foregrounds time, exploring how different temporalities orchestrate knowing in…

Enrollment trends highlighted in this 2018 Enrollment Report include a one-year comparison for two-year institutions, four-year institutions, and system wide. Trends over the last five years and the last ten years are also described. Over the past five years, Headcount and Full Time Equivalencies (FTE) in NDUS has decreased slightly, with change…

Objective: The purpose of this study is twofold. First, this study explores individual student characteristics, specifically those related to demographics, financial need, academic characteristics, and social and cultural capitals, related to study abroad participation among community college students. Second, this study identifies when over the…

This work was motivated by the idea of approaching teaching practice in multilevel classes based on a problem, namely the need to improve the management of time in these types of classes. The time management strategy, developed in this work, consists of applying two modes of alternating teaching, the classical mode "work and make work"…
