Investigating the linkage between professional development and mathematics instructors' use of teaching practices using the theory of planned behavior.
PLoS One
April 2022
University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, United States of America.
Article Synopsis
- Professional development significantly enhances college STEM instructors' knowledge and use of research-based instructional strategies (RBIS), which can improve student learning.
- A study of 361 math instructors who attended multi-day teaching workshops revealed that their attitudes and practice of RBIS increased, especially in the year following the workshops.
- The research employed the Theory of Planned Behavior to identify factors influencing RBIS use, finding that previous RBIS experience, class size, and course coordination matter, while individual or institutional traits did not significantly impact outcomes.
Turtles and Tortoises Are in Trouble.

Turtle Survival Alliance, Charleston, SC, USA.
Turtles and tortoises (chelonians) have been integral components of global ecosystems for about 220 million years and have played important roles in human culture for at least 400,000 years. The chelonian shell is a remarkable evolutionary adaptation, facilitating success in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Today, more than half of the 360 living species and 482 total taxa (species and subspecies combined) are threatened with extinction.

Cochlear implantation is a safe and reliable treatment for children with severe to profound hearing loss. The primary benefit of these medical devices in children is the acquisition of hearing, which promotes development of spoken language. The present paper reviews published literature demonstrating predictive effects of a number of factors on acquisition of hearing development and speech recognition.

Electronic address:
Children have benefited from bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) over unilateral CIs despite often missing important periods in bilateral auditory development. This suggests a remarkable perceptual ability by children to "work around" abnormal changes in the auditory pathways. Nonetheless, these children rely primarily on interaural level differences as interaural timing cues are more difficult to access or detect.
