Interteaching is a new method of classroom instruction that is based on behavioral principles but offers more flexibility than other behaviorally based methods. We examined the effectiveness of interteaching relative to a traditional form of classroom instruction-the lecture. In Study 1, participants in a graduate course in special education took short quizzes after alternating conditions of in...

The current study investigated early elementary school teachers' beliefs and practices regarding the role of Executive Functions (EFs) in reading and arithmetic. A new research questionnaire was developed and judged by professionals in the academia and the field. Reponses were obtained from 144 teachers from Israel. Factor analysis divided the questionnaire into three valid and reliable subscal...

The purpose of this study was to explore the learning outcome of vocational special education students with the teaching strategy of "Combining Situated Learning Theory with E-learning", as well as the opinions of experimental group students toward E-learning. Using the class as a unit, the students were divided into two groups: the experimental and control group. Students in both groups took t...

Observations of star formation rates (SFRs) in galaxies provide vital clues to the physical nature of the Hubble sequence and are key probes of the evolutionary histories of galaxies. The focus of this review is on the broad patterns in the star formation properties of galaxies along the Hubble sequence and their implications for understanding galaxy evolution and the physical processes that dr...

In ‘Ceteris Paribus, There is No Problem of Provisos’ (1999), John Earman and John T. Roberts defend the view that the laws of fundamental physics are expressed by universal generalizations. These fundamental physical laws, Earman and Roberts argue, are strict laws and not qualified by ceteris paribus clauses. As physics, the special sciences also use generalizations to explain, to predict and ...

Research has focused on increasing the treatment integrity of school-based interventions by utilizing performance feedback. The purpose of this study was to extend this literature by increasing special education teachers' treatment integrity for implementing antecedent and consequence procedures in an ongoing behavior support plan. A multiple baseline across teacher-student dyads (for two class...

In this article, a special type of orthogonalization is obtained to construct a multiple input transfer function model. By using this technique, construction of a transfer function model is divided to sequential construction of transfer function models with less input time series. Furthermore, based on real and simulated time series we provide an instruction to adequately perform the stages of ...

Between 1939 and 1945, 180,000 psychiatric patients were killed in Nazi Germany. This paper opens with a brief discussion of the reasons for addressing this issue today; it is followed by the details of the so-called euthanasia program that entailed killing of patients by gas in special hospitals in the years 1939-1941, and in psychiatric hospitals in the years 1942-1945. In this latter period,...
