Barney, Chantel C.; Tervo, Raymond; Wilcox, George L.; Symons, Frank J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Assessing tactile function among children with intellectual, motor, and communication impairments remains a clinical challenge.

Song, Yu; Lei, Shunwei; Hao, Tianyong; Lan, Zixin; Ding, Ying – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Due to benefits for teaching and learning, an increasing number of studies have focused on classroom dialogue and how to make it productive. Coding, in which the transcribed conversation is allocated to a set of features, is commonly employed to deal with the textual data arising from this dialogue. This is generally done manually and cannot…

Heller, Sherryl Scott; Ash, Jordana – ZERO TO THREE, 2016
The need to build an evidence base for reflective supervision (RS) is threefold: (1) to determine the elements of a supervision session that make it reflective, (2) to demonstrate that change occurs within the supervisee, and (3) to demonstrate that having staff members participate in RS enhances positive program (or client) outcomes. This article…

Nieuwenhuis, F. J. – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2015
Although the number of qualitative research studies has boomed in recent years, close observation reveals that often the research designs and methodological considerations and approaches have developed a type of configuration that does not adhere to purist definitions of the labels attached. Very often so called interpretivist studies are not…

Shaked, Haim; Schechter, Chen – Teachers College Record, 2018
Background: Systems thinking is a holistic approach that puts the study of wholes before that of parts. It does not try to break systems down into parts in order to understand them; instead, it focuses attention on how the parts act together in networks of interactions. Purpose: This study explored the development of holistic school leadership--an…

How, Meng-Leong; Looi, Chee-Kit – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2018
Computational Thinking (CT) is pervasive in our daily lives and is useful for problem-solving. Decision-making is a crucial part of problem-solving. In the extant literature, problem-solving strategies in educational settings are often conveniently attributed to intuition; however, it is well documented that computer programmers might even have…
