one of the high citation researches surrounding model of transformational leadership's impact on organizational citizenship behavior has been conducted by podsakoff, mackenzie, moorman and fetter (1990). using structural equation modeling, current study aims at testing this model and also 4 other models in schools on a sample including 652 teachers and 131 principals. results showed that p...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether children with hemifacial microsomia (HFM) have higher risk for psychosocial problems than children without HFM. METHODS One hundred and thirty-six children with HFM (64% male, mean age = 6.9 years) were compared to 568 matched controls (50% male, mean age = 7.0 years) on parent and teacher measures of behavior problems and social competence, and teacher rankings...

This paper proposes a Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) system that teaches students how to write Japanese characters. The most important feature of the system is the usage of synthesized speech to interact with users. The CAI system has a video display tablet interface. A user traces a pattern of a character using the tablet pen, and simultaneously his tracing is shown on the display. When t...

This study tests the impact of a randomly assigned professional development coaching intervention (MyTeachingPartner-Secondary; MTP-S) on teacher projections of their students' educational attainment. Results indicate that students who report more behavior problems in the Fall of the academic year are projected by teachers to have lower future educational attainment in the Spring of the academi...

Best practice assessment of childhood ADHD includes behavior ratings from multiple sources across multiple environments. However, adolescents in secondary schools interact with several teachers each day, and research has shown that teacher perceptions of the same child can be highly inconsistent. As a result, rating scale data can be equivocal, depending on which teachers are selected. The inte...

Many African American adolescents who enter high school with low achievement are at-risk for being perceived as defiant and uncooperative by their classroom teachers. This generalized view of risk, however, offers little understanding of the differentiated behavior these students have with their teachers. The study followed 35 African American students, who have a history of low achievement, ac...

One criterion for a diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-IV) diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is that symptoms are present in at least two settings, and often teacher ratings are taken into account. The short Conners' Teacher Rating Scales-Revised (CTRS-R) is a widely used standardized instrument measuring...

The growth of communication network technology enables people to take part in a distant lecture. We are developing a supporting system for a distant lecture named ACE (Automatic Camera control system for Education). The previous version of ACE captures the lecture focusing on the latest object written on a blackboard because a teacher frequently explains it. However, a teacher not always explai...

One of the long-standing challenges in Artificial Intelligence for goal-directed behavior is to build a single agent which can solve multiple tasks. Recent progress in multi-task learning for learning behavior in many goal-directed sequential tasks has been in the form of distillation based learning wherein a single student network learns from multiple task-specific teacher networks by mimickin...
