Several educational mapping techniques include mind mapping, concept mapping, knowledge mapping and competence mapping. This research used pedagogically informed competence maps featuring subject matter and learner capabilities. Mytelemap, a prototype tool, helps learners structure and visualise competence maps and provides study links based on…

Functional analysis has been shown to effectively identify the function of challenging behavior and inform the design of function-based treatment that emphasizes reinforcement-based procedures. However, there is minimal research on culturally responsive approaches to functional analysis with bilingual clients with a developmental disability who…

Most research on anonymity in computer-supported collaborative learning, which has reported both positive and negative outcomes, largely focuses on a fully anonymous login mode. In this context, further research is necessary to finetune the approach to the 'login mode' to optimise the potential benefits while mitigating the drawbacks. This study…

In developing countries like Cameroon, students' participation in higher education can improve on the social, economic, and political status of the country. However, the mismatch between students' program choices and the preferences of the admission board may undermine this vision of national development. Surprisingly, even when students are…

Public lands designation and boundary decisions have long engendered conflict for relevant political actors, management agencies, stakeholders, and user groups. This paper undertakes an exploratory analysis of rock climbers' preferences toward monument designation of Utah's Bears Ears region, as a case with substantial Indigenous significance,…

This study examines the impact of tutorial engagement on Collaborative Preferences for Learning Mathematics (CPLM) in a tertiary context. A two-way mixed ANOVA analysed these preferences over a semester in a sample of undergraduate students. As expected, collaborative engagement had a significant main effect, with students who collaborated more…

Through relying on limited and prescribed modes of expression, summative assessment can both create and exacerbate inequities in higher education. In this article, an instructor of an undergraduate education course and three student co-authors who completed the course discuss how the students' choice to use multimodality in their final portfolios…

This work investigated whether Mexican-American bilingual children and Mexican monolingual children (ages 4-6; N = 245) use Spanish varieties (Puerto Rican vs. Mexican) when making friendship judgments for themselves (1st person) and/or for others (3rd person), and whether children prioritize dialect varieties over race and gender categories. On a…

The research aims to identify the reasons why international students choose Kyrgyzstan for their education, the challenges they may face, and their future expectations. A qualitative research method was used in the study, and 30 international students participated. The results of the study reveal that students choose Kyrgyzstan for education due…

Understanding how learners interpret visual representations of invisible scientific phenomena is crucial for teaching and designing effective instructional materials. This study investigated which visualizations of infrared radiation, radiation absorption, and molecules are perceived as most intuitively comprehensible by students and adults.…

Daily living skills are imperative for independent adult living, which is why these skills are often prioritized by parents of autistic individuals. Video-based interventions (VBIs) are when someone creates video models of a specific skill to teach another individual that skill. VBIs are becoming more prominent to teach individuals daily living…

This study explored the way in which detailed data about how time is spent on classroom activities, generated by the FILL+ tool (Framework for Interactive Learning in Lectures), can stimulate professional conversations about teaching practices and aid reflection for STEMM lecturers. The lecturers felt that personalised data provided an unbiased…

Purpose: This study aims to identify how objective indicators of destination country risk differentiate business study abroad programs from those in other academic disciplines. Design/methodology/approach: The authors trained a neural network model on six years of student-initiated inquiries about study abroad programs at a large US university.…

The increasing use of digital technologies has implications for reading. Online and on-screen reading often consist of engaging with multiple, short, multimedia snippets of information, whereas longform reading is in decline. Meta-analyses have identified a screen inferiority when reading informational texts, but not narrative texts. The mode…

We leverage a unique two-stage experiment that randomized access to private school vouchers across markets as well as students to estimate the revealed preference value of school choice. To do this, we estimate several choice models on data only from control markets before turning to the treatment data for model validation. This exercise reveals…
