Background: Diabetes self-management education (DSME) improves disease-specific markers (HbA1c levels and bodyweight) and prevents disease-related complications. Yet, patients do not seem to benefit equally from such education, likely because of differences in approaches to learning. Purpose: We investigated which learning approaches are best…

Purpose: This study aims to focus on providing a computerized classification testing (CCT) system that can easily be embedded as a self-assessment feature into the existing legacy environment of a higher education institution, empowering students with self-assessments to monitor their learning progress and following strict data protection…

Despite the expanding literature in the last three decades on modes of implementation and the various forms of formal and informal assessments, there is limited evidence of academics' knowledge and understanding of continuous assessment practice. Using a mixed methods sequential explanatory research design, this paper aimed to investigate…

The collection of student data through screening and progress monitoring of social and emotional learning (SEL) skills is just as important as the implementation of curriculum and practices. Monitoring skill acquisition allows teachers to identify effective practices, provide intervention, and intensify support for students who need it. In this…

Goal setting is used to track progress on academic and behavioral outcomes. It can also be extremely effective in monitoring progress toward social and emotional learning (SEL) goals. In this article, we provide an overview of effective goal setting in the classroom to support SEL skill acquisition and development, and practical examples of how to…

Ohio law requires the director of the Department of Education and Workforce to report annually the numbers and percentages of students in kindergarten through grade 4 who are reading below grade level based on diagnostic assessments, and also to report progress for all students placed on Reading Improvement and Monitoring Plans in kindergarten…

A well-designed accountability policy has four essential elements: (1) it's grounded in the belief that all students can learn and succeed; (2) it measures the academic progress of all students by campus and district over time; (3) it highlights gaps between different groups of students; and (4) it provides support and assigns consequences to…

Education is undergoing critical transformations driven by innovations in remote experimentation and learning analytics. As technology reshapes how we teach and learn, remote experimentation allows students to conduct hands-on, interactive experiments from anywhere in the world, breaking down geographical and resource-based barriers. This shift…

The aim of the article is to provide an analysis of professional passive practice mentoring system for the course of (passive) teaching practice, in the study program 'Teaching for pre-school education' of Albanian HEIs and highlights important areas for improvement to better prepare teacher candidates for the demands of the labour market. The…

This study explores the process itself of comprehension monitoring of worked-out examples in mathematics. A 'reversal error' was embedded in a worked-out example of algebraic nature. Ninety-four engineers in a master's degree program to become secondary teachers of technology were asked to judge the comprehensibility of the statement and the…

This manuscript offers an approach to secure needed SBMHS for students with disabilities through unique applications within the IEP development process, informed by an analysis of recent case law. We will discuss six components of this approach. First, the need for SBMHS must be established through evaluation data. Data sources to confirm the need…

This article presents findings from a longitudinal case study of academic audit as enacted at a typical New Zealand university between 1994 and 2019. Academic audit is a higher education quality assurance methodology applied to New Zealand universities. The longitudinal study yielded findings that could not have been detected in a single,…

This quantitative descriptive study, a collaborative effort of the research team and 316 Alabama public high school leaders is significant as it identifies the intervention strategies used in Alabama's public high schools and the school principals' perceived effectiveness of these strategies in improving student performance on the math portion of…

Accelerated learning is an essential component in learning recovery, especially to address the short- and long-term needs resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic. This infographic provides effective strategies, high-quality instructional materials, and innovative models to support student learning.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, educators and policymakers have scrambled to assess the impact on student learning. Popular metrics that have gained traction are the notions of "years of learning lost" or "months behind," which attempt to quantify the educational setbacks caused by the pandemic. The allure of these…
