Asynchronous multimedia learning is a common form of delivering training in the workforce industry, and organizations rely on a completion status to measure that training. However, measuring retention and knowledge transfer of new material rarely occurs during asynchronous learning. Grounded in the Visual Language Theory (VLT) and a delivery…

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how novice female principals experienced preparedness upon completing an aspiring leaders program through a regional leadership development organization. This study provided voice to female principals and highlighted their lived experiences. Purposive sampling was utilized to identify nine…

Amid the backdrop of the global pandemic and other complex societal and organizational challenges, the demand for proficient people management skills among managers and leaders has become increasingly urgent. The ensuing narrative offers an account of a leadership development initiative tailored for line managers and delivered amid the pandemic.…

This study examined the relationship between acculturation level, help-seeking attitude, and self-stigma among international students enrolled in the graduate counseling program (ICS) within the United States. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) served as the theoretical framework, positing that behavioral intentions are the strongest determinant…

In January of 2023, Georgia State University proposed a policy stating that, if graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) taught courses that reported grades of Ds, Fs, or withdrawals (DFW) at a rate of twenty percent or higher, GTAs would be required to complete a course on how to teach college students before they could resume their job as a teaching…

This research explored the use of adventure therapy in Aotearoa New Zealand, how practitioners have learned their skills, and what they perceive the field needs to support its development. The mixed methods study used interpretive description methodology to analyse focus group and survey data. The field is diverse and includes practitioners from…

Clarifying counselor education's status as a discipline carries implications for pedagogy, researcher identity development, and knowledge production. In this manuscript, these implications are discussed within a historical context and with attention to the successful career transitions for new counselor educators, as well as those pursuing…

The objective of the present study was to examine if the Outcome Bias also occurs in pilots flying under instrument flight rules (IFR).

Lifeguards engage in a continuous process of deciding whether swimmers are in danger or not. The variety of behaviours that distressed swimmers show makes it difficult to impart declarative knowledge to this effect during lifeguard training. As an alternative, we propose a novel training tool that requires novice participants to rapidly categorise…

Retention (i.e., response maintenance) is rarely the primary variable of interest when examining skill acquisition procedures. Trial presentation type (i.e., acquisition targets only vs. interspersal of previously acquired targets) within discrete-trial training is one procedural component that researchers have hypothesized may affect performance…

The literature review method is used in this…

Adult education instructors frequently attend both required and elective professional development events and seminars to gain and maintain proficiency. However, as prospective learners, do instructors know exactly what the training will be about? Are the takeaways, or training outcomes, clearly stated beforehand? The answer seems to be, sometimes.…
