This report is a support document accompanying "Drivers of Student Training Choices--A Focus on Student Support Services" (ED629801), which examines the influence of student support service offerings on students' choice of training provider and how they compare with other drivers of student choice such as course cost, delivery mode and…

To provide an example of outcomes assessment that aligns with student affairs standards (Finney & Horst, 2019a), we share our process of assessing a mandated eight-week program for students on academic probation. Furthermore, our process highlights the value of using existing theory and research to inform assessment and program redesign…

Educators often lack the proper tools and time to teach each child to read fluently, which requires distinct and interrelated word recognition and language comprehension processes. The lack of reading proficiency strongly correlates to academic struggles throughout elementary school and beyond, creating academic performance gaps between readers…

The concept and existence of learning styles has been fraught with controversy, and recent studies have thrown their existence into doubt. Yet, many students still hold to the conventional wisdom that learning styles are legitimate, and may adapt their outside of class study strategies to match these learning styles. Thus, this study aims to…

This paper: (1) briefly outlines a study tips presentation that uses both evidence from the cognitive and educational psychology literatures as well as demonstrations to teach students how to study more effectively, and (2) provides empirical evidence about whether this study tips presentation affects students' study habits. We provide a brief…

Students feeling anxiety about tests is a perennial problem, but the topic is rarely covered formally in either school psychologists' training or in journals in the field. Admittedly, test anxiety is not a recognized psychiatric disorder, and it is generally insufficient on its own to lead to special education or a disability accommodation plan.…

This study aimed to promote self-regulated learning skills in pre-service teachers, and to this end, a two-year Self-Regulated Learning Skills Development (SLSD) Plan for pre-service chemistry teachers was developed. In this SLSD plan, the strategy instruction was conducted in an integrated way into the content courses of the chemistry education…

The main purpose of this research is to examine the effectiveness of the CUES+CC strategy in improving the note-taking performance of students with learning disabilities. Within the scope of this purpose, the effect of the CUES+CC strategy on students' note-taking and exam performances and maintenance of the performance was investigated. Moreover,…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of study skills training on the qualitative academic achievement of girl high school students. This study was conducted by using an experimental design with pretest, posttest, and follow-up with the control group. The participants were 32 students from girl high school students of…

This case study explores the introduction of a word study approach, Words Their Way (Pearson Education, n.d.), into 3 second-grade classrooms in the northeastern United States. Although phonics and spelling have been studied separately within classrooms (Cutler & Graham, 2008; Fresch, 2007; Graham & Santangelo, 2014; McCutchen et al.,…

General Chemistry courses are often challenging for first-year college students preparing for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs. These courses are among the STEM gateway courses in which many students struggle to get through, or are weeded out. This is partly due to the use of ineffective study strategies such as…

In an era of rapid technological growth in education, both teachers and students alike must adapt to up-to-date learning and teaching paradigms. Liveworksheets is advantageous in offering students a compilation of interactive sheets that provide instant online feedback. Nevertheless, whether utilizing Liveworksheets in self-study is efficient has…

We investigated the outcomes of a novel neuroscience and neuroanatomy support program (NSP) developed and implemented in the pre-professional phase of an accredited Bachelor of Science/ Master of Science occupational therapy (OT) program. This research demonstrates the potential of targeted small group tutoring as an effective means to promote…

Recent research on scaffolding has examined both the sources of information used and neglected during students' word-solving attempts and the amount of information provided in teachers' word-solving prompts. In this teaching tip, the authors expand the application of such research from one-to-one student-teacher interactions to a guided reading…

Relationships between learning environment variables and students' approaches to studying have been investigated from many points of view over the last decades. However, few studies have explored whether such relationships are stable over time. In the two consecutive cross-sectional analyses performed in this study, Norwegian occupational therapy…
