Purpose: We investigated the effectiveness of a highly individualized morphosyntactic intervention using the SHAPE CODING™ system delivered at different dosages. Method: Eight children with developmental language disorder aged 8;0-10;10 (years;months) received 10 hr of explicit individualized intervention for morphosyntax delivered in 30-min…

Purpose: Nearly 50 years ago, Durkin (1978-1979) conducted a seminal observation study on reading comprehension teaching in Grades 3 through 6. She reported that teachers rarely taught reading comprehension (less than 1% of instructional time). Since then, we have gained substantial knowledge about teaching reading comprehension. We aimed to…

Creating assessment questions aligned to standards is a time-consuming task for teachers, but large language models such as ChatGPT can help. Bryan Drost & Char Shryock describe a three-step process for using ChatGPT to create assessments: 1) Ask ChatGPT to break standards into measurable targets. 2) Determine how much time to spend on each…

Background: In children with a cleft palate with or without a cleft lip (CP±L), some evidence exists for superior results of high-intensity speech intervention (HISI) compared with low-intensity speech intervention (LISI) on speech and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, the existing research often involves small sample sizes.…

Recent accounts of social difficulties in autism suggest that autistic and non-autistic individuals mutually misunderstand each other. This assumption aligns with findings that mixed-neurotype interactions are less efficient than same-neurotype interactions. However, it remains unclear whether different outcomes between mixed- and same-neurotype…

Students with Emotional Behavioral Disorders (EBD) exhibit behaviors that interfere with their ability to access instruction and identifying feasible and effective school-based interventions is critical for promoting their academic success. Previous research has shown the positive effects of a self-management package that involved gradually and…

The goal of this study was to determine the extent civil engineering programs include topics from the civil engineering-specific fundamentals of engineering (FE) exam in their curricula. Data were gathered from a representative sample of 86 civil engineering program curricula in the 2017-2018 academic year and mapped to the 18 civil engineering FE…

Recent research has found that the presence of cell phones impairs attention during learning. The present experiment sought to better understand this phenomenon by measuring the effects of cell phone presence, cell phone notifications, and cell phone ownership (participant's or others) on attention. Attention was measured using a Stroop task in a…

This study used reform theory to teach art appreciation to 35 (n=35) students enrolled in a visual communication program, a unit from the graphic design and multimedia program in the first year. In this study, a quantitative research design and methodologies were used. To analyze a group of students' achievements, the researcher employed…

Foreign language teachers and administrative leaders in Louisiana K-12 schools are tasked with providing foreign language education in various settings and under very different teaching environments. The Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) require college track high school students to fulfill 2 Carnegie Units. Achieving a fluent level…

An early care and education (ECE) coach's caseload might shape the way they coach. Caseload includes the number of programs, center or family child care (FCC) classrooms, and center teachers or FCC providers that an ECE coach works with. This brief describes findings from 2019 surveys of ECE coaches, center teachers, and FCC providers about coach…

Using a cross-sectional survey of co-operative education students, this study explored relationships between students' gender, work experience, time spent on tasks with supervisors, and self-reported learning. Inexperienced men spent 50% more time on tasks with supervisors than inexperienced women. Work experience (completing at least one…

In our previous work, we piloted a specifications grading system in an organic chemistry laboratory course with 37 students. Our current work describes the scale up of that specifications grading system to a course with over 1,000 students. Strategies used for keeping the system manageable and mitigating the time commitment required to do so are…

Although applications (apps) for technology-based self-monitoring have received little attention in the literature for college-level students with intellectual disability (ID) in inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs at institutions of higher education, novel tools regularly arrive and are applied within current support structures.…

This study investigated relationships among home reading practices, shared book reading (SBR) behaviors, and child literacy outcomes in young children with cochlear implants in Baltimore, Maryland. Parents (N=18) completed a home reading questionnaire and recorded themselves reading books with their children at home. Shared book reading sessions…
