This study examined incivility in virtual classrooms among graduate students in behavioral sciences, focusing on the challenges of maintaining respectful online environments. The research question addressed how online faculty identify and manage incivilities in graduate programs in behavioral health science. The theoretical framework integrated…

We designed a video-based intervention to prepare preservice teachers to deal with classroom disruptions. Using tandem cases, we produced staged videos showing a functional scenario, in which a teacher deals effectively with disruptive behaviour, and a dysfunctional scenario, in which a teacher's behaviour leads to the escalation and spread of the…

Nudging has been used in a range of fields to shape citizens' behavior and promote public priorities. However, in educational contexts, nudges have only been explored relatively recently, with limited but promising evidence for the role of nudging used to increase engagement in online study, particularly in higher education. This paper reports on…

College students report stress and anxiety when taking science courses, such as anatomy & physiology. Mindful breathing is a technique that can be used in the classroom before taking exams. To determine the impact of mindful breathing exercises on the student experience, students were randomly assigned to either course sections that included…

The economics profession lacks diversity and, as a result, interventions have been introduced at the graduate and professional levels to minimize the effect of the "leaky pipeline." In addition, economic educators lack training in classroom management and student interaction, which may lead to underinvestment in fostering diversity,…

This quantitative (quasi-experimental design) study examined the effect of case-based learning (CBL) in an online environment on preservice teachers' culturally responsive classroom management self-efficacy (CRCMSE). The Culturally Responsive Classroom Management Self-Efficacy Scale was administered as a pre- and posttest to 42 undergraduate…

Many teachers are ill-prepared to apply practices that can both preempt and address challenging behaviors that interfere with academic instruction. We evaluated the efficacy of a supplemental multi-platform (direct instruction, guided practice, and mixed reality simulations) intervention designed for preservice teachers who do not have…

This study used a single-subject, multiple baseline across participants research design to explore the effects of a multi-component intervention on pre-service teachers' use of behavior-specific praise (BSP). The intervention consisted of explicit instruction and modeling of the skill, followed by on-going video self-analysis, self-monitoring, and…

A teacher training course entitled "Classroom and Individual Emotional and Behavioral Supports" ("CIEBS") includes four modules: School-wide Positive Behaviour Supports (SWPBS), Trust-based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Non- violent Crisis Intervention (NCI), and practicum experience. The present article describes the…

We describe the rise in intergenerational narcissistic behavior amongst college students and educational issues that this trend creates in the classroom, including entitlement and academic dishonesty. As these behaviors impose costs on faculty, other students, and society, we use a game-theoretic approach to exhibit the efficacy of creating and…

In Japan, school teachers experience mental health issues, leading to absences or leave from their duties. While extended working hours significantly contribute to this problem, diminished self-esteem has emerged as the primary causal factor. Reduced self-esteem is frequently correlated with diminished self-efficacy across multiple facets of…

The aim of this study was firstly, to determine the state of pre-service teachers' liking of children and their belief in behavior and instructional management (BIM), secondly, to examine them in terms of various variables and finally, to find out the effect of their beliefs on BIM on their state of liking child. This study was designed through…

Teachers play an essential role in supporting children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and are often responsible for implementing the classroom-based interventions designed to bolster the academic and behavioral success, and the socio-emotional development of children with ADHD in schools. Unfortunately, several studies…

A pretest-posttest control group design with switching replications was used to examine the effectiveness of a one-time, 75-minute behavioral skills training (BST) package. Fifty pre-service elementary general educators enrolled in a classroom management course were shown a video depicting challenging behaviors and were asked to collect…

The purpose of this qualitative action research study was to explore improving first semester training practices for graduate teaching assistants (TAs) in the Spanish program at Arizona State University's (ASU) Tempe Campus. Adding to research on TA training in higher education, a communities of practice (CoP) framework was combined with concrete…
