To conduct a multilevel meta-analysis of multiple single-case experimental design (SCED) studies, the individual participant data (IPD) can be analyzed in one or two stages. In the one-stage approach, a multilevel model is estimated based on the raw data. In the two-stage approach, an effect size is calculated for each participant and these effect…

There is an increasing interest and growing practice in Citizen Science (CS) that goes along with the usage of websites for communication as well as for capturing and processing data and materials. From an educational perspective, it is expected that by integrating information about CS in a formal educational setting, it will inspire teachers to…

There is a growing body of literature around digital research, specifically regarding data collection and how to pivot research designs to be more conducive to online and virtual research, but little in the way of how to analyze data remotely. In this article, we share firsthand experiences from a qualitative study utilizing Google apps, Zoom, and…

Language sample analysis (LSA) is valuable clinical tool and an important component of comprehensive language assessment. However, LSA is underutilized in real-world practice. SLPs have identified time constraints, insufficient training, and lack of confidence in LSA skills as barriers to regular LSA implementation. Communication science and…

More than ever in the past, researchers have access to broad, educationally relevant text data from sources such as literature databases (e.g., ERIC), an open-ended response from online courses/surveys, online discussion forums, digital essays, and social media. These advances in data availability can dramatically increase the possibilities for…

Performance management in university-based scientific research institutions is essential for driving reform, advancing education quality, and fostering innovation. However, current performance evaluation models often focus solely on research indicators, neglecting the critical interdependence between the education and research systems. This…

Sustainability education, as endorsed by the United Nations to address the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, poses challenges due to the extensive spatial and temporal scales of global issues. In this novel, semester-long project, "The Poo-tastic Project: A Deep Dive into Sustainable Sanitation with…

The use of social media platforms as a means of data collection for researchers is increasing. With the number of active users of Facebook across the globe exceeding two billion, the platform offers a means to reach and hear from diverse populations and gather information-rich data. Despite an increase of researchers utilising Facebook and…

Background: Academic help-seeking benefits students' achievement, but existing literature either studies important factors in students' selection of all help resources via self-reported surveys or studies their help-seeking behavior in one or two separate help resources via actual help-seeking records. Little is known about whether computing…

The sustainable development of Internet education platforms has not been a research focus due to the continuous renewal of artificial intelligence, big data, and policies across different countries and regions. To address this gap, this paper utilizes bibliometric analysis and visualization tools to analyze the development of online education…

Data-Based Instruction (DBI) has a strong empirical base for supporting the intensive academic needs of students who do not respond to standard treatment protocols. However, teachers use DBI infrequently in practice. In a previous study (Poch et al., 2020), teachers reported supports such as coaching facilitated DBI implementation, whereas access…

Linking and integrating data from different data systems can help U.S. states, territories, and other entities answer critical questions about children and families, their needs, and experiences with IDEA services and supports. The 2021 State of the States Survey provides information about how Part C early intervention (EI) programs and Part B 619…

Instructional coaching has long been a crucial component of professional development in schools. However, without a clear framework, its true potential often goes unrealized. "Coaching for Impact" bridges this gap by providing a research-supported, practical guide that enhances the effectiveness of coaching programs while helping coaches…

Response styles pose great threats to psychological measurements. This research compares IRTree models and anchoring vignettes in addressing response styles and estimating the target traits. It also explores the potential of combining them at the item level and total-score level (ratios of extreme and middle responses to vignettes). Four models…

Introduction: Substance-use related emergencies are a serious public health concern that affects the lives of first responders and the community members they serve. In 2020, the Center for Behavioral Emergency and Addiction Research initiated an online substance use and mental health training program for first responders, adding courses over time.…
