Background: Aphasia, a communication disorder mainly resulting from stroke, poses challenges to the meaningful interactions between healthcare professionals and people with aphasia (PWA). Little is known about the knowledge and skills of Cypriot healthcare professionals when interacting with PWA in clinical settings. This study explores the…

This research study examines the establishment and evolution of the first enrollment management credential in the higher education field 25 years ago at the University of Miami. Interviews were conducted with the program's current program director and the two pioneering administrators who created the program. The study also employed an alumni…

Researchers and practitioners from different disciplines (e.g., educational science, computer science, statistics) continuously enter the rapidly developing research field of learning analytics (LA) and bring along different perspectives and experiences in research design and methodology. Scientific communities share common problems, concepts,…

Background/purpose: The study examined the impact of artificial intelligence on strategic decision-making in business management, focusing on Educational and Business Environments, with a particular emphasis on internal capabilities, organizational readiness, ethical considerations, and regional contextual factors that affect AI integration.…

In today's connected world, forming teams of people to execute projects is seen as a challenge in government agencies and public and private organisations alike. For large enterprises, a small group of thoughtful and committed people performing different roles could essentially change the world. At the same time, however, it is hard to select an…

Agreement statistics and measures of prediction accuracy are often used to assess the quality of two measures of a construct. Agreement statistics are appropriate for measures that are supposed to be interchangeable, whereas prediction accuracy statistics are appropriate for situations where one variable is the target and the other variables are…

Many people are unduly intimidated by the thought of teaching probability. At its most basic level, probability revolves around being able to predict whether a future event is certain, possible, or impossible. These basic concepts grow and develop into a more mathematical understanding of likelihood as children learn to quantify that…

In typical development, infants form predictions about future events based on incoming sensory information, which is essential for perception and goal-directed action. It has been suggested that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) make predictions differently compared to neurotypical individuals. We investigated how infants who later…

Predictive modeling in online education is a popular topic in learning analytics research and practice. This study proposes a novel predictive modeling method to improve model transferability over time within the same course and across different courses. The research gaps addressed are limited evidence showing whether a predictive model built on…

Expert radiologists can discern normal from abnormal mammograms with above-chance accuracy after brief (e.g. 500 ms) exposure. They can even predict cancer risk viewing currently normal images (priors) from women who will later develop cancer. This involves a rapid, global, non-selective process called "gist extraction". It is not yet…

Recent findings in behavioral genetics and technological advances have the potential to alter education administration in ways that were inconceivable just a decade ago. Specifically, new understandings about the heritability of educational outcomes and the ability to calculate polygenic scores that predict likely student outcomes could change how…

In this article, it is shown how item text can be represented by (a) 113 features quantifying the text's linguistic characteristics, (b) 16 measures of the extent to which an information-retrieval-based automatic question-answering system finds an item challenging, and (c) through dense word representations (word embeddings). Using a random…

This study examined the relationship between mathematics achievement and mathematics problem-solving efficacy sources. A cluster sample of 123 first year prospective teachers of a Philippine higher education institution responded to a 30-item problem-solving efficacy scales and took the teacher-made tests in Mathematics in the Modern World course;…

As we take advantage of new technologies that allow us to streamline the coding process of large qualitative datasets, we must consider whether human cognitive bias may introduce statistical bias in the process. Our research group analyzes large sets of student responses by developing computer models that are trained using human-coded responses…

In this study, it was investigated whether adolescents' developmental guidance needs predicted by their interpersonal problem-solving skills. Adolescents' Determination of Developmental Guidance Needs Scale, Interpersonal Problem Solving Skills Scale, and Personal Information Form used as data collection tools. The sample group of the study…
