The University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP) is a selective, five-year accelerated mathematics program for students in grades 6-12. During the program, students take college mathematics courses on University of Minnesota campuses, starting with algebra and continuing through logic and proofs, linear algebra, and…

The factors that influence student academic performance have long been discussed by academics. However, to our knowledge, there are no data on the informal learning activities organised by parents. Therefore, there is a need to explore how parents influence student academic performance. To do so, we acquired a dataset from the China Education…

While little research has been conducted on Asian undocumented students in higher education, it was the powerful story of an Asian undocumented high school student, Tereza Lee, that inspired Senator Richard Durbin to co-author immigration legislation known as the 2001 DREAM Act. Tereza's story represents an important counter-story to what many…

Framed by critical global citizenship education (GCE), the study focused on secondary school teachers' practices of GCE and explored the position of GCE in conflict-affected South Korea. The findings demonstrate the nexus of constraint and possibility of GCE in South Korea, highlighting how the country's history of division and ongoing,…

It is a common but not unrealistic stereotype of Asian students that educational success is a matter of personal identity and status. As such, achieving distinctions in as many subjects as possible (the popular target of becoming a 'straight A' student) is usually a non-negotiable objective nurtured by both parents and educators. However,…

Fifty years after the Lau decision, dual-language programs face critical challenges, particularly a national teacher shortage, especially in bilingual programs representing less commonly taught languages like Mandarin Chinese. This study explores the workplace environments of 13 Mandarin Dual Language Bilingual Education (MDLBE) teachers in a…

The purpose of this mixed methods descriptive case study was to explore teachers' racial awareness about Black and Asian identities through race-based professional development (PD) and implicit racial bias. Teachers unintentionally bring implicit biases into the classroom experience which can impact student racial identity development. This study…

Based on well-known concepts, including organizational creativity, inclusive leadership theories as well as the input-process-output and its extended version, the current study investigated the effects an inclusive leadership style had on creative teaching through the mediating roles of intra-school knowledge sharing and innovative climate. A…

Though there are a multiplicity of approaches that have been used to promote Nature of Science (NOS) among school students, an approach based on exploration of a scientific discovery indigenous to the sample population, of contemporary interest, and based on a topic outside the school science syllabus seems to be lacking in the literature. This…

A substantial percentage of international students are placed on academic probation each year. This study explored the challenges and resilience characteristics of Chinese international students placed on academic probation in their first year of college. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine probationary Chinese international…

This longitudinal study examined the mediating role of teacher support in the relationship between academic burnout and self-esteem among adolescents in Korea. A total of 154 adolescents (13 years old) were followed up for 4 years at 1-year intervals. Path analysis indicated that the developmental trajectory of academic burnout (i.e. the intercept…

The primary goal of this study was to examine a key but understudied link between early career teachers' expectations (as outcomes) and their thinking styles (as teacher factors). A second goal was to explore whether teacher self-efficacy, discipline, and grade level would moderate this relationship. We collected self-report data from 390 school…

This paper presents data derived from a larger study related to the expectations and experiences of international students from the People's Republic of China with regard to studying in Australian secondary schools. The study involved 116 international students, and data were collected in two phases using questionnaires and semi-structured…

Students' science literacy abilities must receive special attention, particularly by investigating root causes and implementing strategies for improvement. Measuring science literacy through questions is crucial to determine students' proficiency to be science literate. This research aims to produce higher-order thinking skill (HOTS)-based science…
