Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, European Commission, 2020
The academic calendar contains national data on how the academic year is structured (beginning of the academic year, term times, holidays and examination periods). Differences between university and non-university study programmes are also highlighted. The information is available for 38 countries. [For the 2019/20 report, see ED610817.]

van de Ven, Vincent; Kochs, Sarah; Smulders, Fren; De Weerd, Peter – Learning & Memory, 2017
The extent to which time is represented in memory remains underinvestigated. We designed a time paired associate task (TPAT) in which participants implicitly learned cue-time-target associations between cue-target pairs and specific cue-target intervals. During subsequent memory testing, participants showed increased accuracy of identifying…

Rosenthal, Jeffrey S. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2018
This article advocates that introductory statistics be taught by basing all calculations on a single simple margin-of-error formula and deriving all of the standard introductory statistical concepts (confidence intervals, significance tests, comparisons of means and proportions, etc) from that one formula. It is argued that this approach will…

Walsh, Matthew M.; Gluck, Kevin A.; Gunzelmann, Glenn; Jastrzembski, Tiffany; Krusmark, Michael – Cognitive Science, 2018
The spacing effect is among the most widely replicated empirical phenomena in the learning sciences, and its relevance to education and training is readily apparent. Yet successful applications of spacing effect research to education and training is rare. Computational modeling can provide the crucial link between a century of accumulated…

Islam, Hashim; Townsend, Logan K.; Hazell, Tom J. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2018
Purpose: Few studies have directly compared excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and fat utilization following different exercise intensities, and the effect of continuous exercise exceeding 75% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO[subscript 2]max) on these parameters remains unexplored. The current study examined EPOC and fat utilization…

Spratto, Elisabeth M. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Attitude scales are an important component of educational and psychological research. One consideration when seeking to make valid inferences from attitudinal data is the issue of the degree to which response options can be assumed to have equal intervals. Many response options on attitudinal measures may produce ordinal-level data rather than…

Conijn, Rianne; Roeser, Jens; van Zaanen, Menno – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
Keystroke logging is used to automatically record writers' unfolding typing process and to get insight into moments when they struggle composing text. However, it is not clear which and how features from the keystroke log map to higher-level cognitive processes, such as planning and revision. This study aims to investigate the sensitivity of…

Stambaugh, Laura A.; Nichols, Bryan E. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2020
We examined the relationship between interval identification skill and error detection skill in preservice teachers, accounting for timbral differences by including piano and vocal stimuli. The interval identification test was comprised of 33 items spanning from C2 to B5. Fifteen error detection items were monophonic melodies, two measures long,…

Shport, Irina A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The goal of this study was to test whether fronting and lengthening of lax vowels influence the perception of femininity in listeners whose dialect is characterized as already having relatively fronted and long lax vowels in male and female speech. Method: Sixteen English words containing the /? ? ? ?/ vowels were produced by a male…

Kim, Kyung Yong; Lee, Won-Chan – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2018
Reporting confidence intervals with test scores helps test users make important decisions about examinees by providing information about the precision of test scores. Although a variety of estimation procedures based on the binomial error model are available for computing intervals for test scores, these procedures assume that items are randomly…

Huang, Lan-Fen; Gráf, Tomáš – Taiwan Journal of TESOL, 2020
In its descriptors for oral fluency the Common European Framework of Reference includes frequent references to the tempo of speech and the use of pausing. The present study aims to provide empirical evidence that these fluency phenomena exist; it also seeks to establish how they distinguish two different levels of proficiency (B2 and C1) among L2…

Cazzell, Samantha; Skinner, Christopher H.; Taylor, Kala; McCurdy, Merilee; Ciancio, Dennis; Cihak, David; Skinner, Amy; Moore, Tara – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
Adapted alternating treatment designs were used to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two computer-based sight-word-reading interventions among three elementary school students with an intellectual disability. Each intervention provided 30 stimulus--response--stimulus--response learning trials. One intervention included fixed 3-s response…

Horn, Annemarie L.; Gable, Robert A.; Bobzien, Jonna L. – Preventing School Failure, 2020
We conducted a review of the literature on articles published between 1987 and 2017 on the application of constant time delay (CTD) as an instructional procedure to teach students with mild or moderate intellectual disability. An analysis of 18 empirical studies supported the effectiveness of the CTD procedure. Measures included acquisition,…

Neil, Nicole M.; Jones, Emily A. – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
Background: Modifying intensity is one approach to tailoring intervention to meet the needs of learners with developmental disabilities. This study examined the effects of varying intensity levels of a behaviour analytic intervention on the efficiency of acquisition and task persistence in young children with Down syndrome. Methods: Using adapted…

Gorard, Stephen – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2019
This paper compares the use of confidence intervals (CIs) and a sensitivity analysis called the number needed to disturb (NNTD), in the analysis of research findings expressed as 'effect' sizes. Using 1,000 simulations of randomised trials with up to 1,000 cases in each, the paper shows that both approaches are very similar in outcomes, and each…
