Like other health care practices, the increasing complexity in dentistry signals the need for a reconceptualisation of dentist professional learning. Professional dental bodies, at large, still privilege formal continuing professional development (CPD) provisions focusing on off-the-job activities despite growing evidence that much invaluable…

The implementation of inclusive education especially for special needs students in primary school during teaching in the classroom must strive for non-discrimination, recognition from all parties to all participants of learning, provide facilities and a safe environment for each child. The design of this study is a combination of sequential…

The skills and competencies of IT professionals are often described using employer-led skills frameworks. They express competencies as technical knowledge and skills combined with a range of personal qualities. Employers have indicated the importance of developing such qualities for new graduates.

Reading comprehension instruction was identified by the National Reading Panel as an effective instructional practice to improve students' reading comprehension. Teacher professional development (PD) is essential for effective reading comprehension instruction to occur in schools. The aim of this meta-analysis is to examine the extent to which…

Faculty perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education are crucial for AI's meaningful integration into teaching and learning, yet research is scarce. This paper presents a study designed to gain insight into faculty members' (N = 122) AI self-efficacy and distinct latent profiles, perceived benefits, challenges, use,…

Symbolic numeracy first emerges as children learn the meanings of number words and how to use them to precisely count sets of objects. This development starts before children enter school and forms a foundation for lifelong mathematics achievement. Despite its importance, exactly how children acquire this basic knowledge is unclear. Here we test…

Previous research has supported selecting development-matched targets rather than age-matched targets to teach play skills to children with autism spectrum disorder. However, few studies have been conducted, and replications and extensions of this research are needed. The current study replicated Pane et al. (2022) by comparing the acquisition of…

This counterstory began with "CRiTical Race Information Theory as Innovative Pedagogy, Act One: Harder Than You Think, It's a Beautiful Thing." In the first act, the authors introduced Critical Race information Theory (CRiT) as a rapidly developing iteration of Critical Race Theory (CRT) applied within information settings. The first act…

Purpose: 360° immersive videos may be useful in procedure-based healthcare settings. We hypothesized that extended reality (XR) neonatal intubation education is a feasible alternative to live demonstration in skill and knowledge transfer. Methods: This was a prospective single center evaluation of an educational XR intubation video using Premature…

The paper seeks to identify how teacher expertise is implicitly and explicitly conceptualised in current English education policy in respect of the professional development of teachers. We focus specifically on conceptualisations of expertise in the Early Career Framework (ECF), both in terms of the policy documentation produced by the Department…

The study examined the effects of primary school teachers' professional development activities on differentiated instructional practices in classrooms and possibilities for elevating students' learning engagement. A mixed method with concurrent triangulation design was used. The samples were selected by using purposive, simple random, and…

Objective: While flipped classroom instruction has repeatedly shown efficacy in undergraduate medical education, evidence for its utility in procedural domains remains sparse. This holds particular significance for surgical subspecialties such as otolaryngology, which have limited time in undergraduate medical curricula. We designed a novel airway…

The importance of improving schools, increasing teacher quality, and improving student learning has led to an increased focus on teachers' professional learning and development (PLD). When organising PLD sessions in schools, it is crucial that they are well understood and that the needs of teachers are considered. This study aimed to examine…

The United States is experiencing a tremendous shift in the composition of its population. For the first time in history, the overall number of Asian, Latino, and African American students in K-12 public education classrooms is projected to surpass the population of Non-Hispanic whites. The number of Latinos in educational leadership positions in…

This qualitative descriptive study explores school leaders as the catalyst for whole school environments. Creating whole school environments involves whole leaders, which takes recognition of feelings of burnout and enacting mindfulness based interventions along with emotional intelligence skills. 12 school leaders participated in this study that…
