We describe the rise in intergenerational narcissistic behavior amongst college students and educational issues that this trend creates in the classroom, including entitlement and academic dishonesty. As these behaviors impose costs on faculty, other students, and society, we use a game-theoretic approach to exhibit the efficacy of creating and…

Preschoolers who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) generally do not acquire grammatical forms at the same ages or rates of children who are not DHH. The purpose of this study was to investigate treatment intensity using a variation of enhanced conversational recast (Encinas & Plante [2016]. Feasibility of a recasting and auditory bombardment…

A concerning number of students enter kindergarten facing an intractable variation of mathematics difficulties (MD). This study investigated the impact of an explicit, core kindergarten mathematics program on the mathematical outcomes of kindergartners who demonstrated risk for severe MD at kindergarten entry and examined whether these students…

This study explores interpreters' role performance, lawyers' reactions to interpreters' performance, and the perceptions and expectations of the interpreter role among these two groups of professionals. It adopts an ethnographic approach to generate data from observations made in Australia of 20 authentic interpreted lawyer-client interviews and…

Purpose: This systematic review focuses on the effect of bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on language function in Parkinson's disease (PD). It fills an important gap in recent reviews by considering other language tasks in addition to verbal fluency. Method: We critically and systematically reviewed the…

Aim/Purpose: One of the main objectives of higher education institutions is to provide a high-quality education to their students and reduce dropout rates. This can be achieved by predicting students' academic achievement early using Educational Data Mining (EDM). This study aims to predict students' final grades and identify honorary students at…

Social work field placements are considered the signature pedagogy of the social work profession. Traditionally, students are placed in a single agency for the academic year. Given that antitrafficking intervention is fairly new to the social work profession, interns may not be able to get the most out of an experience in a single agency. Using…

Help-seeking is an important self-regulated learning strategy and skill for effective learning. Studies have found that some students have poor help-seeking behaviors and that this leads to poor learning performance. Some researchers have developed help-seeking regulation mechanisms to detect and regulate students' poor help-seeking behaviors.…

People's attitudes and anxiety towards impromptu speaking can negatively affect their performance and can create speaking anxiety in them. The aim of this study is to find out whether there is a significant relationship between the acquisition of storytelling skills and the impromptu speaking attitudes and speaking anxieties of 6th grade students.…

This meta-analysis study synthesizing the results of experimental and quasi experimental studies examined the effects of self-assessment interventions on student academic performance from primary education to higher education. A total of 16 studies with 46 effect sizes involving more than 7,650 participants were included in the analysis. Research…

The growth mindset or the belief that intelligence is malleable has garnered significant attention for its positive association with academic success. Several recent randomized trials, including the National Study of Learning Mindsets (NSLM), have been conducted to understand why, for whom, and under what contexts a growth mindset intervention can…

Research findings regarding the effects of educational interventions--typically reported in units of standard deviations (e.g., Cohen's d)--are often translated into more intuitive metrics before being communicated to teachers. However, there is no consensus about the most suitable metric, and no study has systematically examined how teachers…

Writing has implications for the academic, vocational, and social pursuits of students. Unfortunately, many students with disabilities -- including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities -- struggle with a foundational aspect of written expression: text writing within sentences and paragraphs. This study used a multiple-baseline…

A multiple baseline with probe across participants design was used to investigate the effects of an oral narrative intervention on early developing personal narratives of four children aged 6 and 7 with autism spectrum disorder and severe language disorder. The individual intervention targeted the narrative macrostructure elements of…

Research evaluating phonics reading programs for children with severe intellectual disabilities (ID) is limited. The current study investigated whether using an online reading program (Headsprout® Early Reading; HER) as supplementary reading instruction for children with a severe ID leads to improvements in reading skills as compared to children…
