This study expanded on the previous research on using a self-instructional manual for school staff to learn how to implement Discrete Trial Training (DTT). The purpose of this study was to teach public school staff how to implement DTT with fidelity, and to assess the useability and effectiveness, of an asynchronous online version of the DTT…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of writing for learning and model-based learning activities on academic achievement in the "Simple Electrical Circuits" unit of the fourth-grade science course and the views of students and classroom teachers about these activities. In the quantitative part of the research, which has…

In this paper, we present a case study of a secondary mathematics teacher, Isaac (pseudonym), and his considerations for teaching with multiple methods for solving missing-value problems. While his students preferred methods that drew more closely on their intuitive understanding of proportionality, Isaac emphasised the algorithmic…

Coverage of heritage and archeology in formal education is typically limited. These subjects are typically taught through specific and anecdotal activities that do not respond to a specific methodological foundation. School-museum relationships offer numerous benefits for design participation experiences with long-term perspectives in conducting…

Automatic short answer grading is an important research direction in the exploration of how to use artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools to improve education. Current state-of-the-art approaches use neural language models to create vectorized representations of students responses, followed by classifiers to predict the score. However, these…

As a result of the nature and outcomes of classroom education, questions concerning what constitutes successful teaching persist. This study intends to characterize, from the perspective of primary school teacher candidates, the practices of primary school teachers in terms of effective instruction in inclusive classrooms. Observations of…

Learning environments and teaching methods have been constantly changing over the past decades. As the shift in the learning environment is primarily toward a physical to an online learning environment, this study examines how to enable younger students to select appropriate content for learning in digital learning environments that they can then…

Read-aloud is a reading activity that is occurs most often in the early years classroom. Research suggests that read-aloud continues to be of value in the upper grades. Read-aloud provides opportunity for middle grade students to engage and connect to a range of literature. It increases motivation and improves accessibility for the range of…

Research on practice-based mathematics teacher education has identified core practices, principles and design features that lead to effective programs. Yet, some teachers do not perceive such practice-based development programs as relevant or useful. In response to this, the study reported in this article investigated three Norwegian teachers'…

This study examined preschool teachers' fidelity in implementing a vocabulary intervention. The purpose of the study is to inform the scaling up of vocabulary interventions, identifying strategies that are both feasible for teachers and effective for vocabulary learning. We analyzed data from a vocabulary intervention in which teachers (n = 10)…

Expectations for increased conceptual outcomes in the early childhood education sector have foregrounded a need for more evidenced-based practice in support of children's play. One such avenue for researching models of play practices that support cognitive outcomes is to study the implementation of Playworlds. Grounded in cultural-historical…

This paper is an experimental effort to look at a fairly traditional "gender diversity curriculum" that the authors assembled together over 2 years (Woolley & Airton, 2020). The aim of the curriculum assembled is to teach--presumably an in-service or pre-service K-12 teacher--how to incorporate gender diversity into their own taught…

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…

As a term, "eros" has never had a candid etymology. Consequently, "eros" has emerged as a vexed facet of pedagogy. Understandably, its existence in academia is hardly spoken of. Delimiting "eros" to sexual seduction has catalyzed the institutional denial of "eros." Eventually, the conceptualization of…

Teachers' intention to adopt and implement curriculum reform is an important matter for success in achieving standards for education. Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics practices advocated in the current curriculum. In this research pre-service math and science teachers' intentions to implement STEM activities are investigated through the…
