General education teachers continue to report a lack of preparation to address their needs. This study examined the impact of a 6-hour professional development seminar on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to determine if preservice general and special education teachers’ overall performance in lesson design to reduce barriers, identified through increased attention to student variability, improved. Two lesson plans, preseminar and postseminar, from 242 participants were scored using a modified education field experience (EFE) rubric that included 19 evaluation criteria. A Rasch analysis was used to determine pretest and posttest scoring validity and to enable regression analysis with a continuous outcome variable. Results indicated that the seminar resulted in higher scores for the participants’ postmeasures, controlling for the premeasure effects, as well as unique findings based on subject matter. These findings are presented, as well as implications for future research and practice.","PeriodicalId":42675,"journal":{"name":"Brock Education-A Journal of Educational Research and Practice","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135646607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schools can play a key role in soft skills education, but implementation in the classroom has faced a range of challenges that have impeded instruction. One solution is embedding soft skills within an extant academic curriculum, with the advantages that the academic infrastructure is already in place, and few additional materials or time are needed. This field study found that embedding soft skills had excellent outcomes, even with limited resources, materials, and training, a notable first step in the long road toward urgently needed, facilitated, and measurable soft skills instruction in the secondary school learning environment.","PeriodicalId":42675,"journal":{"name":"Brock Education-A Journal of Educational Research and Practice","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135867437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants in this study were college students, and a questionnaire survey was used to collect data, which were analyzed using SPSS. The results revealed that: (1) students' autonomy in learning was at a moderate level; (2) there was a significant positive correlation between psychological needs and autonomous learning, and there was also a significant positive correlation between psychological needs and self-control; (3) both psychological needs and self-control could significantly predict students' autonomy in learning; (4) self-control played a partial mediating role between psychological needs and autonomous learning, indicating that psychological needs influenced autonomous learning through self-control. These findings suggest that enhancing students' satisfaction of psychological needs and improving their self-control abilities can promote the development of autonomy in learning.","PeriodicalId":42675,"journal":{"name":"Brock Education-A Journal of Educational Research and Practice","volume":"209 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135486616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate that higher education in the Yangtze River Delta region plays a crucial role in driving economic growth, with contribution rates exceeding 4% consistently. While the educational levels in the three provinces and one municipality have improved, and the educational structure has been optimized, there are variations in the contribution rates of higher education to economic growth, with Shanghai standing out prominently. Therefore, the Yangtze River Delta region should increase the duration of education, enhance the overall level of education, continuously optimize educational institutions, improve the overall educational quality, strengthen regional cooperation and communication, promote knowledge sharing, and foster economic development.","PeriodicalId":42675,"journal":{"name":"Brock Education-A Journal of Educational Research and Practice","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135486627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is no innovation without criticism, which has become the consensus of educators. In practical English teaching, critical thinking has not been paid enough attention. Teachers often only pay attention to students' understanding, and are not very concerned about the authenticity and value of the knowledge they teach. Critical thinking is a process of reflection through analysis and judgment, putting forward one's own views and providing arguments. As a kind of thinking tendency, we can judge it correctly according to the overall environment and guide its correct development trend; As a thinking skill, we can make a targeted evaluation of the inherent thinking mode.
