This work focuses on simulation, design, development, and evaluation of a visual Learning Analytics (LA) tool -- Real-time Educational AI-powered Classroom Tool (REACT) -- to support educators' data-driven decision-making. The educational institutions face one of the biggest challenges, such as predicting student performance, detecting undesirable…

This single-case experimental design study examined the effects of virtual training and coaching on behavior technician implementation of a naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention focused on imitation, Reciprocal Imitation Teaching (RIT), with young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Four behavior technicians were trained and…

Multilingual learners labeled as disabled have less access to bilingual educational programming compared to their nondisabled peers. As well, special education teachers have not been prepared to support multilingual learners. Therefore, the present study examined whether coaching may be an effective form of professional development for special…

Performance measures, including standardized test scores or cognitive tasks, are commonly conceptualized as stable measures, yet are often unreliable indices of skill. We examine two contextual factors, performance pressure and feedback, that may influence the extent to which individuals demonstrate their cognitive capacity by manipulating…

It is particularly important to identify and address issues of fairness and equity in educational contexts as academic performance can have large impacts on the types of opportunities that are made available to students. While it is always the hope that educators approach student assessment with these issues in mind, there are a number of factors…

For the past 12 years I have been involved teaching music at a deaf school in Melbourne, philanthropically supported by Musica Viva's Equal Music program. The students use Auslan as their primary language and prior to the residency there had not been a music program in the school for more than a decade. Students now participate fully in the…

In response to a shift to high-stakes assessments, teachers are changing their instruction and approaches away from research-based formal training on best practices teaching in response to the stress and pressure this shift has created (Avalos et al., 2020; Gonzalez et al., 2017; Musoleno & White, 2010). More research is needed on teachers who…

The EdResearch for Action "Design Principles Series" focuses on a single program or practice that has been proven to have positive effects on student outcomes. The series helps practitioners adapt and successfully implement an evidence-based program to meet the needs of their target population. This brief provides the evidence base to…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the perspectives of six first-year teachers related to the practices they experienced through the systemwide induction program within one Georgia school system, Beckett County School District (pseudonym). The researcher sought to investigate the types of coaching tools (i.e., observations,…

The purpose of this project is to establish a healthy community through conflict resolution in small communities through the relationship-oriented dialogue education. This project was designed as a practical program that serves as a guide for effectively coping with conflicts within small communities and was conducted over a period of 12 weeks…

Virtual reality (VR) simulator has emerged as a laparoscopic surgical skill training tool that needs validation using brain--behavior analysis. Therefore, brain network and skilled behavior relationship were evaluated using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) from seven experienced right-handed surgeons and six right-handed medical…

Adult education staff have used varied approaches to help adult learners address their non-academic barriers to participation such as connecting learners to resources that can mediate those barriers. There is increasing interest in the potential of "nudging" through text messaging as an efficient and low-cost intervention to support…

Feedback is crucial during programming problem solving, but context often lacks critical and difference. Generative artificial intelligence dialogic feedback (GenAIDF) has the potential to enhance learners' experience through dialogue, but its effectiveness remains sufficiently underexplored in empirical research. This study employed a rigorous…

Students receiving instrument education in institutions providing vocational music education are expected to enhance their self-efficacy perceptions regarding their instruments, identify their motivations, and develop strategies for their learning approaches. These efforts aim to address deficiencies encountered during the educational process and…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of completing the edTPA on early career U.S. physical educators' mastery attributions, teaching efficacy, perceived effectiveness, and emotional experience. Methods: A sequential mixed methods design was used. Early career physical educators (N = 72) completed a survey that…
