The COVID-19 pandemic and recent racial justice movements have made it very apparent that our current approaches to keeping students safe and healthy in schools need major restructuring and reform. The country lacks mental health supports in many schools at a time when students need them most. Students of color are being punished and removed from…

Purpose: Team-based learning (TBL) is an instructional design that has been increasingly used in anatomy and physiology education. The appropriateness of TBL methods for students with diverse preferred sensory learning modalities has not been adequately examined. This study aimed to show the influence of students' preferred sensory modality for…

Although organizations say new ideas are desirable, investing in original products rather than the "tried and true" can be unsettling for decision-makers. This discomfort may be due, in part, to uncertainty surrounding whether a new idea will prove successful. As such, the originality of a creative idea can be paradoxically viewed both…

Purpose: The present study explores the development of agri-food value chains from an organizational learning perspective, using the German organic food sector as an example. We illustrate how the development of local value chains unfolds over time and outline how facilitation can support this process. Design/methodology/approach: The study used…

Social emotional learning (SEL) fosters students' emotional intelligence and social skills, and research supports the relationships between SEL and academic outcomes. Despite schools implementing SEL as required by state policies, the manner of presentation is critiqued for its relevance to students' cultural complexities. This qualitative study…

Previous research investigating spelling interventions for students with learning disabilities (LD) are synthesized. A comprehensive search of the professional literature between 1990 and 2020 yielded a total of 19 elementary studies and 20 secondary intervention studies that delivered spelling interventions to students with LD and measured…

This study aims to identify the training needs of teacher candidates in social-emotional competencies. The study has a convergent parallel design in which qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analyzed during the same phase, and the two sets of results were subsequently merged into an overall interpretation. The qualitative data…

Maintaining students' privacy in higher education, an integral aspect of learning design and technology integration, is not only a matter of policy and law but also a matter of design ethics. Similar to faculty educators, learning designers in higher education play a vital role in maintaining students' privacy by designing learning experiences…

We have recently developed an automated approach to reduce students' rationalization of programming plagiarism and collusion by informing them about the matter and reporting uncommon similarities to them for each of their submissions. Although the approach has benefits, it does not greatly engage students, which might limit those benefits. To…

Purpose: Reduced use of visible articulatory information on a speaker's face has been implicated as a possible contributor to language deficits in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We employ an audiovisual (AV) phonemic restoration paradigm to measure behavioral performance (button press) and event-related potentials (ERPs) of visual speech…

This experiential exercise uses feedback from peers to develop students' classroom contributions and build a classroom climate that encourages active engaging and learning. It is best suited for courses that require active classroom participation, but works well in any format, traditional and online, and with any level of students. The activity…

It is easy to believe, after decades of research and ever-increasing awareness, that gender bias issues in our classrooms have subsided. Our current students, both undergraduate and many graduate, comprise what is arguably one of the most equity-aware generations in history. Equality, fair treatment, and unbiased interactions should be the norm…

To examine the similarities and differences between two closely related yet distinct fields -- Educational Data Mining (EDM) and Learning Analytics (LA) -- this study conducted a literature review of the empirical studies published in both fields. We synthesized 492 LA and 194 EDM articles published during 2015-2019. We compared the similarities…

Despite research indicating the advantages of collaborative learning, most formal music education continues to be in an individual format. However, collaborative strategies have been observed in other musical cultures. Through this research, we wished to study the differences in the management of group practices between three musical cultures…

Multi-source feedback is a 'rare bird' in higher education and yet recent research suggests multi-modal approaches to enhance university teachers' academic development. This article reports a qualitative interview study using a social constructionist approach to explore the storylines and positions of university students and teachers when they…
