Studies of both professional science practice and children's science learning show that care is not merely ancillary to disciplinary work but a core and generative constituent of science practice. In science education research, however, students' care is often overlooked. In this paper, we describe the expression of care across two STEM classrooms…

Supporting student interest in science is critical for broadening participation in the field because interest, even more than achievement, is associated with pursuing future science education and careers. In this study, we explore the conjecture that equitable classroom cultures can support interest in science. Specifically, we examine the idea…

Teachers with gender stereotypes are particularly likely to engage in gender-biased teaching practices and to transmit biased gender norms to students. Examining teachers' gender stereotypes is important for understanding gender transmission in schools and gender inequality in educational attainments. Using data from a questionnaire survey of…

In the present writing, whose character is more testimonial and practical, the author considers from the perspective of a teacher and specialist the experience of a dialogue community carried out before a group of sixth graders in a private school in Mexico City. To contextualize this experience, first, the author briefly focuses on the current…

Self-compassion is defined as a form of caring for yourself when facing various problems that occur in life and having the belief that failure, mistakes, suffering, and deficiencies are part of life. This article aims to explore the level of self-compassion, gender differences, age differences on the level of self-compassion of students with…

Most American children from age three to eighteen spend around 165 days per calendar year and eight hours daily in a school building. During this time, they unknowingly build relationships with peers, teachers, custodians, counselors, and anyone else occupying these buildings with them. The problem addressed by this study was the lack of positive…

It is still a challenge for students to engage in classroom dialogue actively and realize effective dialogue-based learning, as classroom dialogue are influenced by a multitude of factors. It is reasonable to believe that by delving into a specific variable (perceived care) to gain insights into its potential impact on dialogue engagement, which…

Mathematical learning is supported by caring teaching, which is complex, political work particularly for white teachers in racially diverse classrooms. To investigate white teachers' understandings of care and its influence on mathematics instruction, I conducted a six-month qualitative study in two racially diverse ninth-grade Algebra 1…

A group of middle school students, working with educators in Washington Heights, NYC, designed a school-wide oral history project as a strategy to enrich the cultural and socio-emotional well-being of our school. As part of New York State's required SEL intervention, we developed a Longitudinal Oral History Project, led by middle school students…

Background: Children and adolescents with high callous-unemotional traits (CU) are more likely to engage in aggressive and antisocial behaviours, such as cyber-bullying, but the relationship is not direct, as it may be influenced by other factors. Objective: In the absence of substantial supporting evidence, the purpose of this study was to…

In this study, I explored the perception of school leaders and teachers in a rural middle school in Southern Italy. For my conceptual framework, I pulled on three bodies of scholarship: intercultural education, the overall importance of school leaders, and teachers' attitudes towards immigrant students. I conducted a basic qualitative study using…

Purpose: This study aimed to explore students' perspectives and experiences of social and emotional learning (SEL) during physical education high school classes. Method: Using a case study design, focus group and individual interviews were implemented with 42 students. Based on the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning's SEL…

This qualitative case study highlights the ways a novice middle school mathematics teacher established an adolescent-centered community of care that set the stage for responsive middle level mathematics teaching (RMLMT). Findings revealed that fostering caring school-based relationships supports the establishment of a responsive classroom…

This study assesses the psychometric properties of the School Support Scale (SSS), part of the CHKS's Resilience Youth Development Module (RYDM; Furlong et al., 2009), among 231 sixth- and seventh-grade students in urban public schools in Chile. Results indicated satisfactory psychometric properties, replicating a unifactorial structure observed…

The principles of inclusive education largely accepted by governments of different countries require differentiated classroom instruction to meet the diverse needs of individual students. Despite this, teachers have differing experiences and understandings about implementing differentiated instruction (DI) and heterogeneous classrooms. This…
