Self-regulation is crucial for learning and achievement in educational and occupational contexts. Educational self-regulation has been conceptualized as a domain-specific, context-bound "competence" that is open to interventions.

Workplace coaching is a rapidly growing industry, and while there has been some research carried out to explore the effectiveness of coaching and to evaluate coaching outcomes, there has been very little research to underpin coach development and how coaches best develop coaching competence for workplace coaching. Self-awareness is perceived by…

In this study, we use panel data to analyse the impact of an R&D tax credit on R&D personnel, particularly the impact on Ph.D. holders allocation, comparing low R&D intensity firms with medium-high and high R&D intensity firms. The results show that, in medium-high and high R&D intensity firms, the R&D tax credit had a…

One of the advantages of plyometric training is providing both variability and overload to a training program. Plyometric training provides a good combination of drills between resistance and speed training. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to provide practical and developmentally appropriate examples of plyometric soccer drills for…

In this article, we discuss the developmental aspects of students' experiencing and making meaning of racism and propose that such processes parallel how trauma has been shown to impact development. More specifically, we name racism as a form of trauma with developmental consequences.

A recent independent evaluation by WestEd of Learning Forward's What Matters Now Network looked at the ways in which a structured, facilitated network provided support for state-level coalitions working with districts, schools, and educators to improve instruction and make progress toward achieving content standards. The network was facilitated by…

The goal of the Bernard and Sophia Gordon Engineering Leadership Center (the Gordon Center) at University of California San Diego is to develop effective engineering leaders. While anyone can lead, not all aspire to or master the skills required for effective leadership.

When it comes to engineering leadership program development, having a well-formulated plan with clear goals and objectives is paramount. Consider your programs to be works-in-progress and be prepared for potential challenges.

Through the experience both in the classroom and travels, the author comes to define the key aspects of critical thinking (CT) as "individual skills that facilitate logical and informed decisions." Beyond personal anecdotes, scientifically, the import of CT has been shown in many walks of life (see, e.g., Bauwens and Gerhard [1987]).…

What does it mean to learn a word? How can we tell when a sequence of letters or sounds becomes a word in the mind of the learner? While many second language (L2) vocabulary teaching and learning studies continue to use traditional vocabulary tests to measure learning (such as multiple choice, translation, gap-fill), these measures tend to come…

The human life process includes a great consumption cycle. In order to survive, to learn, to shelter and to live within the framework of a standard, people are in a constant state of consumption. Undoubtedly, human beings, who are also productive beings, have to pay attention to their consumption in order to leave the world they live in in a more…

Children's school performance is often associated with parenting practices, implying a direct link between parents' behavior, child development, and academic success. Through the case of an Indian forest-dwelling community, I offer an alternative view of child development, learning, and teaching, which prioritizes social skills above--and as a…

Purpose: People living with chronic illness face significant challenges with employment. This study explores the impact of participating in the Career Construction Interview (CCI) on the career exploration of individuals facing a forced career transition due to the onset or exacerbation of a chronic illness.

This paper presents a framework for understanding epistemic injustice in career development theory and practice. It is based on Fricker's philosophical conceptualisation of epistemic injustice and its sub-forms of hermeneutical and testimonial injustice. The intention is to generate insights that direct us to injustices embedded in knowledge…

Multi-accent environments offer rich but inconsistent language input, as words are produced differently across accents. The current study examined, in two experiments, whether multi-accent variability affects infants' ability to LEARN WORDS and whether toddlers' prior experience with accents modulates learning. In Experiment 1,…
