Teachers' actions matter greatly in the mathematics classroom, but it is not always clear what guides their actions or from where they come. As teachers strive to create rich and engaging learning environments, how they capitalize on a particular moment is often unclear. Sometimes just identifying potential pathways to take can be challenging. In…

The current study was designed to examine the effect of metacognitive instruction strategies on the development of metacognition in grade 8 students and study variation in the development of metacognition in students with varying academic abilities. The study involved 80 grade 8 students from a public high school as a sample. A quasi-experimental…

This study investigated how children's social and emotional learning (SEL) might reflect their teachers' social and emotional teaching (SET) by means of social learning. To this end, the research team conducted 20 videotaped observation sessions of four teachers' SET and 71 children's SEL during whole-group instruction in four kindergarten…

The act of writing involves decision-making that can be challenging for elementary students as they choose ideas, organization structures, and audiences for whom to share their messages.

The best social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum can be difficult to implement when students with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are unregulated and unprepared to engage in instruction. Daily mindfulness practices can help students with and at risk for EBD regulate their emotions and behaviors and be prepared for…

The nationwide decline in mathematics achievement has prompted curriculum leaders to search for a research-based framework with proven results. Implementing John Hattie's Visible Learning practices in a school district in upstate South Carolina significantly improved overall mastery of mathematics. This approach empowered teachers and students,…

The teachers should support students in acquiring knowledge and developing skills thus preparing them to think and learn independently. Considering this, the significance of implementing the modified Know-Want-Learn (KWL) teaching strategy, which directs students to perform metacognitive activities, becomes more evident. Quasi-experimental…

The purpose of this study is to examine effects of Brain-Based Learning (BBL) method on seventh grade students' metacognitive awareness. Concurrent nested mixed method was used in the study.
