Despite the importance of replication studies, previous reviews showed that they comprised less than 1% of publications in special education journals. This review conceptually replicates Lemons and colleagues’ previous review to provide updated rates of replication studies in special education journals. We identified 78 studies published in 44 special education journals between 2015 and 2022 that used the term replicat* and met our definition of replication, constituting 0.54% of all publications. Similar to previous findings, most replication studies were conceptual, successfully replicated previous results, and were conducted by one or more authors of the study being replicated. Replications with author overlap were significantly more likely to successfully reproduce the findings of the original study. Journal impact factor was significantly and positively related to journal-level replication rate. Publication rates of replications in special education journals remain similar to previous decades, suggesting that additional efforts are needed to increase the publication of replication research.
This study aimed at shedding more light on the roles of perceptual learning style preferences (PLSP) on EFL achievement. The study applied quantitative approach and correlational design. Selected using simple random sampling, 180 grade eleven students were participants of the study. The study employed Reid’s (1984) PLSPQ, and students’ semester final exam results to measure PSLP and FLA, respectively. Six units of grade eleven English textbook was as secondary data. Findings of the study revealed that the major PLSP of the students was group followed by visual, minor PLSP, and negligible others four. Moreover, the activities addressed by the teaching material were found incongruent with the perceived learning styles. Furthermore, results of One-way ANOVA confirmed that PLSP is significantly related with FLA. It was implied that the construct PLSP need to be considerably reflected in the instructional materials preparation towards the EFL students’ success. As a mismatch between activities of teaching materials would result in learners’ failure, teaching materials need to be geared towards PSLP dimensions. Teachers are expected to identify students’ ways of learning and apply accommodating strategies to address individual differences in the classroom in terms of PLSP dimensions.

A great deal of investigation has been devoted to studying whether academic achievement is linked to adolescents’ life satisfaction, whereas limited studies have focused on conduct achievement, which serves as another common kind of achievement in school. To examine the association between conduct achievement and life satisfaction, two studies were conducted using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design with a two-phase model. Study 1 (quantitative phase) demonstrated longitudinal evidence for the positive effect of conduct achievement on adolescents’ life satisfaction. Critically, the lagged effect was also moderated by interdependent self-construal, with the beneficial effect becoming stronger for adolescents high in interdependent self-construal. Study 2 (qualitative phase) generated two main themes and four subthemes to understand the meaning and impact of conduct achievement to adolescents. Thematic analysis revealed that conduct achievement was regarded as a partial and subjective assessment by teachers and might elicit a positive perception of the teacher-student relationship.

This survey investigated how teachers in the northernmost parts of Norway use outdoor science teaching, and what they consider to be the most important challenges. Most teachers report that they do outdoor science activities a couple of times a year, more often in primary school than secondary school. The topics covered are largely related to biology during autumn and spring. Factors that inhibit use of outdoor teaching are related to the length of classes and time to prepare, together with lack of competence and weather challenges. Both expectation from parents and encouragement from management had little influence on the use of outdoor teaching, while the teacher own interest of outdoor life and the fact that students enjoyed such teaching were important elements. Moreover, experienced teachers considered the student group’s characteristics to be of importance for how much outdoor teaching was used compared to teachers who had worked for less than five years. Our study also confirmed that the teacher’s perception of species knowledge was closely linked to their own interest in nature.

In particular, conducting practical training in a face-to-face format has become difficult.Purpose: To address this problem, online physiology practice combined with team-based learning (TBL) for deep learning of renal physiology was conducted among second-year medical students.Participants and Methods: The experiment was performed by a group of students, while other students watched online. After the experiment, all students were grouped using breakout rooms. Following a discussion of the data, a clinical case study related to the experiment was conducted using TBL. To examine the effect of online practice in a case study under TBL, the participants completed an anonymous, open-ended, web-based questionnaire after the program, enabling us to compare their expectations and satisfaction. The questionnaire consisted of questions examining students’ opinions on the appropriateness of online practice, degree of understanding, ease of asking questions, time efficiency, and the usefulness of case studies using TBL.Results: There was no change in the number of students who participated in the online practice before and after class. After class, more students considered the level of understanding easier and displayed better on-time efficiency than with regular face-to-face training. However, these questions are difficult to answer.Conclusion: Online-based physiology practice combined with clinical case studies under TBL helped maintain students’ expectations and satisfaction with the training.Keywords: online education, physiology practice, team-based learning, COVID-19, practical training

Este estudo apresenta os resultados de uma análise de artigos publicados em revistas de Educação, cujo objetivo é compreender os modos como são concebidas e desenvolvidas a Prática Pedagógica no contexto da Formação Inicial de Professores, numa perspetiva de Educação para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (EDS). A metodologia utilizada foi a de revisão sistemática de 10 artigos baseados em estudos empíricos, publicados entre 2016 e 2021, disponíveis em acesso aberto em revistas acadêmicas da área. Após a seleção dos artigos, estes foram sujeitos a uma análise de conteúdo, o que possibilitou compreender que a EDS constitui uma premissa das agendas políticas de várias organizações internacionais e que a sua integração nos currículos de Formação Inicial de Professores (FIP) se baseia em abordagens multi, inter e transdisciplinares na Prática Pedagógica. Estas abordagens devem promover o desenvolvimento de competências de pensamento crítico-reflexivo, autonomia e iniciativa na resolução de problemas reais, assim como a capacidade de transformação de si próprio e dos seus pares, a fim de alcançar mudanças nos sistemas educativos de forma holística. Os resultados apontam para a promoção de ações e a integração de abordagens de EDS na FIP de modo a possibilitarem contribuir para a qualidade de vida e garantia de um futuro mais sustentável das sociedades. As conclusões remetem-nos que a melhoria na operacionalização das PP de FIP passa por integrar perspetivas que realçam o desenvolvimento de competência profissionais docentes a nível do saber, do saber fazer e do saber estar, necessárias para as transformações desejadas no processo educativo no geral, incluindo estas a EDS.
This theoretical study aims to identify types of parental behaviour and parent-child relationships that play a role in children’s and adolescents’ anxiety disorders. The article integrates the relevant literature on the familial climate and parental characteristics that correlate with children’s and adolescents’ anxiety disorders and describes their theoretical role in the emergence and persistence of those anxieties. The role of social learning in this context is also presented, depicting mechanisms of anxiety acquisition such as parental modelling of anxious or avoidance behaviour, as well as parental attitudes and actions. An association was found between parenting styles and practices and children’s anxiety, with the strongest effect found for different types of parental control and parental corporal punishment. Children and adolescents with anxiety disorders are more likely to be raised by non-authoritative parents (e.g. overprotective, authoritarian, and neglectful styles), who tend to employ exaggerated (e.g. preventing autonomy), harsh, or inconsistent control. The article discusses some aetiological conditions in which anxiety in children is more likely to be induced by these parental patterns, describing the interplay between parent and child characteristics in this context.

This study aims to find and analyze curriculum management in increasing competitive advantage in Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Jadid, Paiton, Probolinggo, East Java. This study uses a qualitative case study approach. The data collection technique is done through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that curriculum management in increasing competitive advantage at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Jadid was carried out through; 1) planning, which includes analyzing activities for students, processing material content, analyzing learning techniques or methods, documenting learning components, providing motivation to students; 2) Implementation of the planning design that has been determined together by integrating the government curriculum and pesantren; 3) Evaluation of the implementation of the curriculum, both on the process and its outputs and outcomes, with the principle of continuous improvement.
Advocated as an educational philosophy to tackle exclusion, inclusive education (IE) is now a worldwide trend. Despite the well-acknowledged benefits of inclusion, educational practitioners have several difficulties which act as significant setbacks in operationalising inclusion in practice. Given its novelty in Mauritius, IE implementation is not fully understood. The purpose of the study was to explore the perceptions of secondary school educational practitioners on certain aspects of inclusive education, namely the academic profile of students with special education needs encountered by secondary school educators and rectors, the difficulties faced when dealing with them, and the barriers and enablers to inclusive education. It involved a quantitative descriptive research design. Data were collected from 588 secondary educators and 42 rectors using a specifically designed questionnaire. Following the analysis of data, respondents confirmed the presence of children with special education needs in their classrooms. While respondents indicated that the majority of students with special education needs had an academic profile of the same level of age-matched peers, they reported difficulties encountered with these learners in terms of deficits in attention, participation and behavioural problems. The main barriers identified were the lack of training in special education and the lack of proper infrastructure. Findings revealed training and knowledge in special education, the availability of proper infrastructure, support in terms of teaching aids, specialised equipment and teaching assistants as the main enabling factors. Training is therefore recommended to build competency of educators and rectors in inclusive practices. Appropriate infrastructure and support in terms of educational materials and support personnel should also be provided.
O artigo investiga como o neoliberalismo é uma arte contemporânea de produzir e de governar subjetividades precárias. A hipótese é a de que a arte de governar neoliberal, ao compor o que Foucault denominou de dispositivo de segurança, atua diretamente precarizando a escola pública. O intuito dessa ação é o de fazer da potência subjetiva matéria de adaptação para a precarização. Logo, a escola pública precarizada funcionaria como instituição que adéqua seus sujeitos às demandas neoliberais precarizadoras. O artigo usa dados econômicos para poder comprovar tal perspectiva. Ao cabo, o artigo defende ser urgente a escola pública recobrar a função de educar contra a precarização, afirmando-se como espaço público, laico e gratuito de formação para a denúncia e a resistência à arte de governo neoliberal.

This paper focuses on the results of the national research of cyberbullying of Czech teachers, which was realized in year 2016 in the entire Czech Republic. The research focused on the prevalence of cyberbullying of teachers, the impact of cyberbullying on teachers, strategies of coping with cyberbullying and methods of solving the incidents. The research involved a total of 5,136 primary and secondary school teachers from all regions of the Czech Republic. The research has shown that a fifth of respondents (21.73%) has experienced a cyber attack on their person, however cyberbullying during the last 12 months lasting over 1 week was confirmed only by 3.52% of the total number of respondents. Most often the cyberattacks were committed by students (34.92% of attacks).

Darwin described evolution as “descent with modification.” Descent, however, is not an explicit focus of most evolution instruction and often leaves deeply held misconceptions to dominate student understanding of common ancestry and species relatedness. Evolutionary trees are ways of visually depicting descent by illustrating the relationships between species and groups of species. The ability to properly interpret and use evolutionary trees has become known as “tree thinking.” We used a 20-question assessment to measure misconceptions in tree thinking and compare the proportion of students who hold these misconceptions in an introductory biology course with students in two higher-level courses including a senior level biology course. We found that misconceptions related to reading the graphic (reading the tips and node counting) were variably influenced across time with reading the tips decreasing and node counting increasing in prevalence. On the other hand, misconceptions related to the fundamental underpinnings of evolutionary theory (ladder thinking and similarity equals relatedness) proved resistant to change during a typical undergraduate study of biology. A possible new misconception relating to the length of the branches in an evolutionary tree is described. Understanding the prevalence and persistence of misconceptions informs educators as to which misconceptions should be targeted in their courses.

Background Millions of Americans experience homelessness annually. Medical providers do not receive adequate training in primary care of the homeless. Methods Starting in 2012, a comprehensive curriculum was offered to medical students during their family medicine or ambulatory clerkship, covering clinical, social and advocacy, population-based, and policy aspects. Students were taught to: elicit specific social history, explore health expectations, and assess barriers to healthcare; evaluate clinical conditions specific to the homeless and develop plans for care tailored toward patients’ medical and social needs; collaborate with shelter staff and community organizations to improve disease management and engage in advocacy efforts. A mixed methods design was used to evaluate students’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills including pre- and post-curriculum surveys, debriefing sessions, and observed clinical skills. Results The mean age of the students (n = 30) was 26.5 years; 55 % were female. The overall scores improved significantly in knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy domains using paired t‑test (p < 0.01). Specific skills in evaluating mental health, substance abuse, and risky behaviours improved significantly (p < 0.05). In evaluation of communication skills, the majority were rated as having ‘outstanding rapport with patients.’ Conclusions Comprehensive and ongoing clinical component in shelter clinics, complementary teaching, experienced faculty, and working relationship and collaboration with community organizations were key elements.
<p>The recent proliferation of governance networks at all levels and in different policy areas has led to a growing number of studies focusing on interactive forms of governance. This paper aims to contribute to the development of governance research by looking at how collaboration in governance networks can help to spur social and educational innovation. The paper begins by defining the concept of governance networks and then provides a systematic overview of different theories that explain the current rise of governance networks. Next, it defines the concept of innovation and discusses how collaboration in networks can enhance innovation. Finally, it discusses how collaborative innovation can be initiated, facilitated and catalysed through new forms of leadership and management.</p>
