description: Therapeutic exercise is widely considered a first line fundamental treatment option for managing tendinopathies. As the Achilles tendon is critical for locomotion, chronic Achilles tendinopathy can have a substantial impact on an individual’s ability to work and on their participation in physical activity or sport and overall quality of life. The recalcitrant nature of Achilles tendinopathy coupled with substantial variation in clinician-prescribed therapeutic exercises may contribute to suboptimal outcomes. Further, loading the Achilles tendon with sufficiently high loads to elicit positive tendon adaptation (and therefore promote symptom alleviation) is challenging, and few works have explored tissue loading optimization for individuals with tendinopathy. The mechanism of therapeutic benefit that exercise therapy exerts on Achilles tendinopathy is also a subject of ongoing debate. Resultingly, many factors that may contribute to an optimal therapeutic exercise protocol for Achilles tendinopathy are not well described. The aim of this narrative review is to explore the principles of tendon remodeling under resistance-based exercise in both healthy and pathologic tissues, and to review the biomechanical principles of Achilles tendon loading mechanics which may impact an optimized therapeutic exercise prescription for Achilles tendinopathy.

title: Investigating Ancient Maya Late Postclassic Period Households and the Associated Function of the Buildings at Santa Rita Corozal, Belize
Creators: name: Badillo, Melissa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: Previous archaeological research conducted by the Corozal Postclassic Project (1979-1985) focused primarily on the Postclassic Period at the site of Santa Rita Corozal in northern Belize. Through that research, Santa Rita was demonstrated as an important Postclassic Maya city which likely served as the capital of the ancient Maya province of Chetumal. Given the major reorganization that occurred in the Maya Lowlands at the end of the Classic Period, the assessment of a Postclassic site would demonstrate what, if any changes in the organization of Postclassic Period sites, took place. An extensive analysis of the associated artifact assemblages of six selected household or plazuela groups at Santa Rita Corozal was undertaken to more thoroughly understand the organization of a Postclassic Period household to determine the functions served by individual buildings within these groups. This research expounds on the implied functions of buildings based on the variation of artifact distributions from selected household groups at Santa Rita Corozal. This study contributes to a better understanding of ancient Maya households and the intricacies of a Late Postclassic community.
title: Presumed Illegal Microaggressive Experience (Prime): A Microaggression Targeting Latinx Individuals
Creators: name: Barrita, Aldo
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: In the US, people of color (PoC) are consistently the targets of microaggressions, a form of everyday racism (Pierce et al., 1977; Chavez, 2013) manifested in brief, commonplace, daily slights and indignities (Sue et al., 2007). After the 2016 elections, Americans immediately reported an increase in social tensions across racial groups (Pew Research, 2017). Latinxs, in particular, reported a steep rise in experiences with racial and ethnic discrimination (Gomez & Perez Huber, 2019; Jones et al., 2019), particularly around the context of immigration status (Santos et al., 2021). No previous research, however, has explored the experience of assumed illegality based on immigration status within everyday exchanges. To fill this gap in research, this thesis aimed to define and measure a Presumed Illegal Microaggressive Experience (PrIME) as microaggressions used in normalized rhetoric (e.g., casual conversation, jokes, confrontations, assumptions) weaponizing immigration status assumptions based on racial and ethnic features. Using two independent studies (n = 757; n = 252), I conducted factorial analyses (exploratory and confirmatory) to validate a new 6-item Likert scale that measures PrIME. Furthermore, I explored the impact of PrIME on mental health and also how frequent Latinx experienced these everyday slights to justify the scale construction. Our results validated the construction and development of the PrIME Scale, demonstrated predictive ability for mental health outcomes, and showed that Latinx individuals experienced higher PrIME than other racial or ethnic groups. The PrIME scale is introduced as a novel racial microaggressions psychometric that measures immigration-status-related attacks targeting PoC in the US. Limitations and implications are discussed.

title: Relationships between Mindfulness, Nonacademic Factors, Stress, and Test Performance: A Cross-Sectional Study
Creators: name: Baumeister, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: Successful test performance is essential to nursing students. Poor performance comes with consequences such as inability to progress or removal from the program, leading to attrition. The influence of academic factors on test performance have been widely researched and stress is known to hinder it, yet other factors may also impact test performance.

Dispositional mindfulness has the potential to support test performance, but no known studies have focused on these two variables among undergraduate nursing students. A gap also exists in relation to the influence of nonacademic factors on undergraduate nursing students’ test performance. Due to the ongoing nursing shortage, understanding these relationships may be impactful to support undergraduate nursing students in their program completion.

Using the Yerkes-Dodson Law, this study served to fill the gap in existing literature using a descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional design. Five research questions were identified. After Institutional Review Board approval, this study was conducted with a convenience sample from five Midwestern schools with a sample size of 99 participants. Recruitment criteria included senior nursing students taking the Assessment Technologies Institutes (ATI) Comprehensive Predictor examination as a measure of test performance. Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression were used to test the research questions and analyze findings while controlling for relevant variables.

Analyses of the research questions revealed no significant correlations between dispositional mindfulness and test performance as well as nonacademic factors and test performance. Neither mindfulness nor nonacademic factors moderated the relationships between stress and test performance or between nonacademic factors and test performance. However, it was found in the regression models that the severity of nonacademic factors was a negative predictor for test performance after controlling for relevant variables. Findings also showed that there was significant moderate to strong correlations between mindfulness and stress, nonacademic factors and stress, and mindfulness and nonacademic factors. These findings add to the literature due to the current gap in evaluating these factors among undergraduate nursing students.

The results of this study provide new information that can be used to inform future research and can be utilized by nurse educators and nursing schools to enhance student support. Enhancing nursing student support services in nursing programs can potentially enhance retention, progression, and completion, and ultimately increase the nursing workforce.

description: Plasticity is the capacity of an organism to acquire several forms depending on its environment and it allows organisms to adapt to a constantly changing environment. Changes in nutrition are especially important since they can result in the collapse of ecosystems. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to understand how animals can adapt to a nutritional environment that is in constant change. This thesis aims to enrich our knowledge of the role of nutritional plasticity in female fecundity and to understand how plasticity can generate diversity in mechanisms that respond to protein availability.

title: An Orchestral Percussionist's Guide to Instruments of the Caribbean
Creators: name: Brust, Lucas
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: Sparked by the introduction of Janissary percussion into the works of the First Viennese School, composers have been steadily expanding the musical responsibilities and tonal palette of the orchestral percussion section. Most institutions of higher education extensively address the traditional orchestral percussion instruments and only relatively recently have these institutions begun incorporating the more “exotic” percussion instruments from various indigenous musical traditions. With the resources and proposed performance practices suggested in this document, orchestral percussionists can gain the knowledge and familiarity to identify the instruments by name and construction, demonstrate fluency in technique and sound production, and display basic understanding of rhythmic structure and improvisation within the appropriate musical styles. This document examines the orchestral use of indigenous percussion instruments from the Caribbean in order to clearly address the specific instrumental and technical requirements that are often excluded in the formal training of orchestral percussionists. The instruments addressed in this document include: bongos, congas, timbales, steel pan, claves, cowbell, guiro, and maracas. Each instrument is discussed regarding History & Construction, Sounds & Techniques, Patterns & Characteristics, and Repertoire & Performance Practice.

title: Job Burnout: An Examination of Outpatient Clinics
Creators: name: Chavarria, Aysa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: The purpose of this study was to examine job burnout of medical providers in outpatient clinics. Job burnout is a psychological syndrome resulting from job interpersonal stressors; it is measured using three dimensions: (1) emotional exhaustion – feelings of being emotionally overextended and exhausted by one’s work, (2) depersonalization -a unfeeling and impersonal response toward patients, and (3) personal accomplishment – feelings of competence and achievement in one’s work (Maslach & Jackson, 2020). Using a convenience sample, healthcare providers in Southern Nevada were asked to participate. The study was approved by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Internal Review Board (IRB). After an initial Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS (MP)) was administered virtually (due to COVID-19), healthcare providers were presented with a job burnout educational in-service regarding how to identify and define job burnout, a summary of research and findings regarding employee stress, information of when to seek help, and a discussion of how job burnout affects patient care. After a 60-day period, the MBI-HSS (MP) was re-administered, voluntarily, to the same employees. This project’s aim was to improve job burnout subscale scores in a 60-day period using a job burnout educational intervention.

Year: 2021

description: In the hospitality industry, technology’s impact on hotel performance is a central topic since it is closely related to operators’ budget allocation and business decisions. However, former studies have devoted little attention to this issue and have exhibited mixed attitudes, which makes it more difficult for hotel operators to make their technology adoption decisions. To determine the scope of technology’s implication on operations, this study will conduct a systematic review and examine technology’s impact on hotel performance based on the empirical evidence given by scientific publications in the hospitality industry from the last 20 years. The data was obtained from the most comprehensive journal database: Hospitality and Tourism Complete. The study identified four kinds of influences that technology can have on hotels: positive impact, negative impact, undetermined impact, and no impact. Among them, positive impacts were most frequently mentioned in the literature. This study fills the gap of previous literature by collecting the latest information about the impact of technology, which is rarely discussed in former content analysis. Also, suggestions for the hoteliers are offered. This study helps managers make decisions and prepare to implement technology in their properties.

title: An Analysis of Job Competencies and Job Descriptions Associated with Admissions Counselors/Recruiters at 4-Year Public and Private Institutions as Prescribed by NACAC in 2000 and Its Relevance in 2018
Creators: name: Coleman, Jr., Sebern

description: The role of admissions counselors has become pivotal to the mission of enrollment management in higher education. Admissions Counselors have evolved from serving as personnel that provides counseling to students to one that expands to include marketing to concurrent high school classes and students. As a result, the discipline has seen an increase in the number of counselors entering the workforce and has experienced a steady progression of career opportunities and advancement in the field of admissions (Phair, 2014). Nonetheless, college graduates are more likely to apply for these positions though limited support for career advancement exists due to these roles' convenience. This study's scope focused on admissions counselors and recruiters' job competencies from the 2018 job market. Fifty-nine institutions were randomly selected to participate in this study. These institutions represented four-year public and private institutions within the four major regions in the United States: “Midwest,” “Northeast,” “South,” and “West. Eight hundred forty qualifications (both required and preferred) listed within the job postings of these institutions were analyzed, and a comparison was made to determine the similarities with those posting and to those competencies prescribed by NACAC in 2000. These listings for admissions counseling/recruiting job descriptions were found online on the following sites: Higheredjobs, LinkedIn, NACAC, and the AACRAO website. A content analysis was used to transcribe the qualitative data to quantitative figures. This study draws from Hoffman and Bresciani (2012) 's work, who conducted a mixed-methods analysis to investigate job competencies and how they were listed within the job descriptions for student affairs practitioners. Though the work of Hoffman and Bresciani (2012) provided a comprehensive review of job postings and accounted for approximately 1,800 job listings, only 2.6%, or 45 postings, were in the area of admissions and enrollment management, further proving that this area has been limitedly investigated. The results of this study suggest that the ability to “effectively communicate with students” and “assist with transitioning from the application stage to the point of enrollment” are still top competencies; however, new competencies should be considered to be effective in the role of an admissions counselor in the 21st century.

Creators: name: Coyner, David
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: This descriptive study catalogues the auditory directives of eight conductors of professional ensembles and compares their rehearsal time spent on directives and ensemble response. Rehearsals of eight conductors of professional ensembles were observed through commercially available videos through rental or YouTube. The conductors are Leonard Bernstein, Karl Böhm, Frederick Fennell, Valery Gergiev, Herbert von Karajan, Carlos Kleiber, Georg Solti, and Leopold Stokowski. Conductor directives and ensemble responses are marked based on directive type, compiled into an observation log, and timed to track frequency and duration. The directive and ensemble response types are academic, modeling, instruction, nonmusical, approval/disapproval, and performance. Results are compiled into tables measuring the percentage of rehearsal time spent on conductor directives and ensemble response, average length of conductor directives and ensemble response, and performance pauses per hour. The results were analyzed to derive which directive techniques were most frequently utilized by the conductors and if commonalities existed between the conductors’ directive techniques.
Hybrid Renewable Hydrogen Energy Solution for Remote Cold-Climate Open-Pit Mines

Year: 2023

description: Contemporary off-grid mining operations rely on diesel fuel for the provision of their total energy including electricity, heat, and haulage. Given the high cost of diesel and its imposed greenhouse gas emissions, mining companies are looking for more affordable and cleaner sources of energy for their operations. Although renewable energy systems, such as solar photovoltaic and wind provide efficient solutions to address this challenge, full decarbonization has shown to be very challenging, mainly due to the high cost of battery storage along with the inability to meet total site energy demand. Integrating hydrogen and thermal storage with battery banks can facilitate a full transitioning off diesel. In this sense, the present study intends to offer an innovative decarbonized solution by integrating wind turbines with a multi-storage system (battery, hydrogen, and thermal storage) to supply the total energy (electricity, heat, and haulage) for remote open-pit mines. Among the different proposed fully decarbonized configurations in this study, it is shown that a renewable system with a hydrogen-powered fleet and hybridized battery/hydrogen storage configuration can present the most economically viable case for open-pit mines with a considerably less life-of-mine cost.

description: As an essential and powerful tool to observe living organisms, three-dimensional fluorescence microscopy is widely used in biological research and diagnosis. The 4D fluorescence microscopy data can be obtained using time-lapsed videos of 3D images. To analyze and extract useful information from the increasingly large and complex biological image dataset, efficient and effective computational tools are in need but still lagging behind. In analyzing biological data, two major challenges are faced. First, time-lapsed fluorescence microscopic images typically have a low SNR. Second, biological objects often change their morphology and internal structure frequently. As such, conventional image processing methods may not be suitable for analyzing fluorescence microscopic images. The dataset we used is the 4D microscopic images of developing drosophila (fruit fly) embryos, in which three types of proteins (Myosin, Ajuba and E-cad) play important roles. Located in the center part of the cells, Myosin contraction initiates the physical tension. E-cad is the core component of intercellular adhesion complexes located on cell membranes. Ajuba is the tensor sensor which is recruited by Myosin to adhere junctions. In our previous work, we proposed a multi-object tracking method with portion matching to track those protein clusters. The goal of this research is to quantitatively analyze the correlation between these proteins based on the tracking results. In this thesis, the following tasks have been conducted. A.Sort out effective objects according to their fusion and split actions and visualize their development process clearly. B.Quantify the amount and intensity of another type of object in adjacent to the first type of object. C.Analyze the correlation between two types of microscopic objects.

description: The second hyperpolarizability (γ) of carbon disulfide (CS2) was measured by gas phase electric-field-induced second harmonic generation (ESHG), for laser wavelengths in the range of 765-1064 nm. The observed hyperpolarizability is decomposed into electronic (γ^e) and vibrational (γ^v) contributions, and the dispersion curve for γ^eis extrapolated to the static limit, with the result γ^e_0 = 12558 ± 93 atomic units. The results of this experiment agree with other recent nonlinear optical measurements and theoretical calculations.

title: It’s Not You, It’s Me: Measuring Erotic Self–Focus
Creators: name: Fertel, Evan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: Research suggests the presence of a non-relational aspect of women’s sexuality wherein a focus on oneself may be linked to elevations in sexual desire/arousal. Some theorists have even asserted that women may be, in some ways, their own sexual objects. Building on a previous exploration of what is now termed Erotic Self-Focus (ESF; Fertel, 2015), the present study developed a refined measure of ESF to further assess the validity and nature of this new construct. An exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors: Arousal to Own Body, Self/Own-Gender Focus vs. Partner/Other-Gender Focus, Self-Focused Arousal – Physical, Self-Focused Arousal – Mental. Although a confirmatory factor analysis failed to strongly support these particular factors, other psychometric properties supported the validity of this construct as a whole, as hypothesized. Results corroborated previous findings with women reporting much more ESF than men, with substantial effect sizes, while both men and women perceived ESF as more characteristic of women’s sexuality relative to men’s. Correlational analyses showed ESF scores to be related to, but distinct from, corollary measures, thereby supporting the orthogonality of the construct (divergent and convergent validity). The measure also evidenced high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Implications of results for our understanding of female sexuality are discussed.

description: Estimating shear strength is a crucial aspect of beam design. The goal of this research is to develop a shear strength calculation technique for ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams. To begin, a shear test database of 200 UHPFRC beam specimens is established. Then, random forest (RF) is used to evaluate the importance of influence factors for the shear strength of UHPFRC beams. Subsequently, three machine learning (ML)-based models, including artificial neural network (ANN), support vector regression (SVR), and eXtreme-gradient boosting (XGBoost), are proposed to compute shear strength. Results demonstrate that the area of longitudinal reinforcement has the greatest influence on the shear capacity of UHPFRC beams, and ten parameters with high importance (e.g., the area of longitudinal reinforcement, the stirrup strength, the cross-section area, the shear span ratio, fiber volume fraction, etc.) are selected as input parameters. The models of ANN, SVR, and XGBoost have close accuracy, and their R2 are 0.8825, 0.9016, and 0.8839, respectively, which are much larger than those of existing theoretical models. In addition, the average ratios of prediction values of ANN, SVR, and XGBoost models to experimental results are 1.08, 1.02, and 1.10, respectively; the coefficients of variation are 0.28, 0.21, and 0.28, respectively. The SVR model has the best accuracy and reliability. The accuracy and reliability of ML-based models are much better than those of existing models for calculating the shear strength of UHPFRC beams.
title: Attention Bias in Irritability: A Social Information Processing Perspective

description: Social information processing (SIP) theory suggests a framework for understanding how individuals make sense of their world—from the cognitive tasks of perception and problem solving to the emotional tasks of integrating this information with one’s goals, motivational state, and arousal regulation. This framework has been integral for better understanding the etiology behind certain psychopathologies (such as depression or disruptive behavior disorders) as it is thought that bias early in attentional processes may have trickle down effects on later processing and decision making (Dodge, 1993). It is known that the attention biases early in the SIP model (e.g., encoding biases) differ among disorders such as depression and those such as oppositional defiance disorder (ODD). Therefore, using a SIP framework for better understanding severe and chronic irritability, a construct with significant overlap with both depressive and disruptive behavior disorders (Freeman et al., 2016; Mayes et al., 2016; Stringaris & Goodman, 2009) could be helpful for offering insight into disorders characterized by severe and chronic irritability (e.g., Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder [DMDD]). The purpose of this present study was to apply a SIP framework, using eyetracking methodology to measure attentional capture within 257 participants, to illuminate on the possible attention biases that may be present within individuals who experience severe and chronic irritability. Results indicated that individuals high in irritability do not display unique attention bias towards either hostile or dysphoric stimuli. This has important implications for our understanding of the construct of irritability, especially as in recent years debate has been ongoing as to whether irritability should best be conceptualized as a separate, unique disorder similar to depression or as a symptom of an already existing externalizing disorder (e.g., ODD).
Which evil? which war?

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: This essay was ground-breaking and iconclastic in looking at the works of Albert Tucker and images of Australia in World War Two and was acknowledged as such in the Age, the Australian and Art Monthly, as well as in art blogs and on radio. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: The essay was based upon examination of art in various collections including the Australian War Memorial by Tucker and his contemporaries as well as posters, leaflets and instructional films of the war era. It grounded Tucker's images not only in his knowledge of European modernism and the symbolism of women and anxieties about women and capitalism in the Weimar Republic, but alongside Australian wartime moral panics about promiscuous and unruly women causing disorder during the war. It suggested that much of the desire for social order and gender stereotypical roles for men and women in 1940s Australia resembled the culture of fascism that the Australians were supposedly fighting. RESEARCH SIGNIFICIANCE: The Heide catalogue 'Images of Modern Evil' is the first attempt to overview this iconic and crucial set of modernist Australian paintings. Co-authors included Heide curators and Professor Kate Darian Smith from the University of Melbourne. The Heide Museum of Modern Art is known as a leading venue for the documentation and interpretation of advanced and modernist art in Australia with a particularly strong emphasis on the 1940s. The Age's art critic Robert Nelson said: 'The comprehensive exhibition has an excellent catalogue. Special attention goes to Juliet Peers's brave and penetrating analysis.' (see attached review). Art Monthly also cited Peers' essay as important for discussing the 'embellished notion of evil' in Tucker's painting (attached).
title: Turning Up The Sound! Senior-Level Sonographers' Perspectives On The Workforce Readiness/Competency Of Entry-Level Sonographers In The Workplace

description: There has been a longstanding preoccupation with the workforce readiness and competency of our nation’s graduates since the release of the National Commission on Excellence in Education’s, April 1983 landmark report, A Nation at Risk: “The Imperative for Educational Reform”, which indicated that the educational foundations of our society were being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatened our very future as a Nation and a people. Now, more than 35 years since the release of A Nation at Risk, it appears that little has changed. Extensive research continues to report that graduates of post-secondary institutions are unprepared for the workplace because they are missing certain workplace skills. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to identify a specific workforce group and provide information on the education, training, and certification requirements for that group. Additionally, based on the perspectives/comments of more experienced/senior-level employees, this study attempts to describe what skills/competencies are necessary for success in the workplace for that workforce group. Finally, this study provides details on the workforce readiness of entry-level employees as seen through the eyes of their more experienced, senior-level colleagues. A qualitative descriptive methodology was used, and interviews were performed with 12 experienced/senior-level sonographers from the workforce. The results of data analysis revealed that competencies identified in the literature as necessary for success in the workplace (communication, critical thinking, conflict resolution, teamwork, and attention to detail), were important for the success of this workforce group. Additional competencies (sympathy, empathy, compassion, and patience) were also identified as crucial for the success of this workforce group. Participant recommendations for Sonography educators included the need to stress the importance of these customer service skills, through the development of specific competencies/assessments for pre-graduates as they progress through their education and clinical training. Finally, thematic analysis of data revealed four themes related to the competency of entry-level sonographers: (a) positive contribution to the workplace, (b) fear or lacking self-confidence, (c) not taking the initiative, and (d) unrealistic self-expectations. Although participants indicated that their entry-level sonographer colleagues possessed the skills necessary for entry-level employment, they strongly recommended that sonography employers invest in and provide formal mentoring activities to support new graduate/entry-level employees, as they transition from school to work.

Transforming Intensive Animal Production: Challenges and Opportunities for Farm Animal Welfare in the European Union
Creators: name: Molnár, Mariann
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2023

description: Since the 1960s, the European Union (EU) has made efforts to ensure the welfare of farm animals. The system of EU minimum standards has contributed to improved conditions; however, it has not been able to address the deeper factors that lead to the intensification of animal farming and the consolidation of the processing sector. These issues, along with major competitive pressures and imbalances in economic power, have led to a conflict of interest between animal industries, reformers, and regulators. While the priorities of the European Green Deal and the End the Cage Age initiatives are to induce a rapid phasing out of large-scale cage-based farming systems, the industry faces the need to operate on a highly competitive global market. Animal farmers are also under pressure to decrease input costs, severely limiting their ability to put positive animal-care values into practice. To ensure a truly effective transition, efforts need to go beyond new regulations on farm animal welfare and address drivers that push production toward a level of confinement and cost-cutting. Given the right socio-economic and policy incentives, a transition away from intensive farming methods could be facilitated by incentives supporting farm diversification, alternative technologies, and marketing strategies.
title: Autism Spectrum Disorder and Remote Learning: Parents’ Perspectives on Their Child’s Learning at Home

description: The global COVID-19 pandemic led to the universal restricted access of school grounds and caused students to transition to a remote learning environment. Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are eligible for special educational services and are normally provided additional support during school. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, delivery of multiple support resources became limited, and parents needed to consider how their child’s education and support would be incorporated in their new educational environment.

During the pandemic, parents had the opportunity to provide various instructional assistance and support at home. Scaffolding, a type of guidance used when a child is working on an accomplishable task with the help of a more knowledgeable person, would normally be used in a child’s learning environment to achieve their next level of development. However, this study illustrates that parents did not provide scaffolds, but instead provided prompting as they were aware of their child’s zone of proximal development and implemented prompts that their child could learn from accordingly. Prompts ranged from physical hand to hand guidance to verbal repeating of a question to visually displaying math problems on a white board. Additionally, parents also described a strong sense of communication between their children using these prompts. Initially, parents felt concerned during the transition to remote learning. However, once their child became accustomed to the new learning environment, parents noticed positive outcomes and expressed that having additional resources, such as service providers, aided them and their child to succeed in the home learning environment.
