As more attention is placed on designing digital educational games to align with schools 0 academic aims (e.g., Common Core), questions arise regarding how professional development (PD) may support teachers 0 using games for instruction and how such integration might impact students 0 achievement. This study seeks to (a) understand how teachers use PD resources (e.g., technology personnel and game-use workshops) for integration; (b) determine how teachers integrate games into their instruction; and (c) examine how those teaching practices are associated with student achievement. This mixed method study used survey and interview responses from elementary school teachers (n = 863) with access to PD resources for implementing a math game intervention and standardized math-test scores from their second-through sixth-grade students (n = 10,715). Findings showed few teachers sought PD assistance for integration, but many desired such support. Some reported using integrative practices (i.e., referencing game and using game-generated progress reports) to identify struggling students, whereas several found integration challenging. Teachers 0 reordering of game objectives to align with lessons and viewing of game-based PD videos were associated with increased student math achievement in our OLSanalysis. However, this result was no longer statistically significant within a school fixed-effects model, suggesting school differences may influence how strongly teachers 0 practices are associated with student achievement.
Multidomain pre-ECT cognitive assessment is feasible and well-tolerated in most patients. Cognitive performance did not worsen after ECT in people with psychotic depression and improved on some measures. The degree of cognitive improvement seems to be directly related to the improvement in negative symptoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
