Introduction: Knowing what strategies users use in the difficult task of driving has always been a priority objective in road safety, given that road accidents are one of the main causes of death in the world, as confirmed by the WHO. In this sense, the metacognitive skills questionnaire for drivers was validated.

Methods: The questionnaire measures the metacongitive skills used by vehicle drivers at three times before, during and after driving.

Results: The results of both the exploratory factor analysis (0.92 alpha by Cronbach) and the confirmatory factor analysis show the existence of three factors, a planning factor, a self-realization factor, and a third evaluation factor.

Discussion: Finding these results together with a psychoeducational intervention design, will improve the behavior of drivers and in turn will serve to improve the training programs of the same to the different institutions and centers responsible for such training.

This study addresses the integration of Spanish for Specific Purposes in Agriculture (SSPA) into the curricula of English-speaking veterinary and animal sciences students at three collaborating universities (Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, and Tarleton State University), to bridge communication gaps in agricultural settings. We designed and implemented three SSPA courses focused on key areas such as animal health, welfare, and food safety, using insights from industry professionals. The courses incorporated contextualized language instruction, including vocabulary, grammar, and practical communication scenarios relevant to the field.

Article Synopsis
  • Autistic children often face challenges in participation and skill development compared to nonautistic peers, and the impact of occupation-based coaching (OBC) on their participation is unclear.
  • A study involving 13 autistic children and 12 caregivers tested the feasibility and effects of telehealth OBC, showing high rates of recruitment, retention, and caregiver engagement, exceeding expected benchmarks.
  • Results indicated significant improvements in child performance and satisfaction, with moderate effects on sleep disturbances and smaller impacts on participation and family quality of life, highlighting the need for further large-scale research to refine the intervention.
