A student's socioeconomic status (SES) has a significant relation to their academic achievement. Much of this work has explored this in math and reading, but less is known about how SES relates to science achievement, particularly in the early grades. Using quantile regression with nationally representative data, we explored this relation in…

This quantitative, correlational-predictive study examined the predictive relationship of the NWEA's Map Growth projected proficiency report data with students' STAAR scores in the area of mathematics, using archival data from the 2021-2022 school year. The theoretical foundation for this study was provided by Vygotsky's zone of proximal…

Teacher burnout can directly shape students' learning environments and outcomes, as burnt-out teachers may provide less emotional support and less positive behaviour management to students. Yet studies of the effects of burnout on student outcomes -- particularly non-academic outcomes -- are scarce, even more so in low-income countries. This study…

Previous research suggests both social contextual and individual difference variables contribute to chronic peer victimization. We tested whether two individual difference variables--anxiety sensitivity (AS) and internalizing symptoms (IS)--predicted persistent peer victimization in elementary school children. Participants were 677 fourth-grade…

Faculty trust and student bullying are two salient properties known to affect school environments. Indeed, the presence of organizational trust bolsters student achievement and promotes school safety, thus making schools more effective, although bullying behaviors abate the effectiveness of schools. Therefore, understanding potential relationships…

The rise in autism and shifts in federal laws have driven a move towards inclusive education, aiming to offer equal opportunities and support for autistic students facing challenges in communication, social skills, and repetitive behaviors. Yet, placing students in the least restrictive environment can strain general education teachers without…

Student-teacher relationships (STRs) and socioeconomic status (SES) are two widely studied variables that have been found to predict reading achievement in the early grades. The current study extends the literature by investigating the interaction between STRs, measured using the STR Scale completed by teachers, and SES on reading achievement…

The importance of math achievement in the early grades has been well documented. Two variables that have independently been found to be strong predictors of math achievement are student-teacher relationships (STR) and socioeconomic status (SES). The present study investigates the interaction between STR and SES on student math achievement using…

The research aims to determine the relationship between public primary school principals' paternalistic leadership behaviours and teachers' organizational creativity and organizational dissent perception levels according to primary school teachers' perceptions. A quantitative correlational design was utilized in the research. The research sample…

The purpose of the current study is to determine the number sense performances and metacognitive awareness of primary school fourth grade students and the status of metacognitive awareness in predicting number sense. To this end, the study employed the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. In the study, it was revealed…

The use of metacognitive and self-regulated strategies is a potential predictor of problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. However, this potential needs to be seen at the level of knowledge and experience of various attributes and forms of activity. This research aims to see the interaction effect of using metacognitive and self-regulated…

The goal of the current study was to investigate the role of executive functions in mathematical creativity. The sample included 278 primary school children (ages 8-13). Two models were compared: the starting model tested whether executive functions (shifting, updating, and inhibition), domain-general creativity, and mathematical ability directly…

Metacognition and curiosity play an important role in the educational process. Therefore, it is significant to examine their correlation with students' performance and satisfaction with classes. In order to examine whether the effect of metacognition and curiosity on physics performance and satisfaction with physics classes depends on gender, a…

The low results of learning mathematics from year to year give rise to suggestions for students that mathematics is a difficult lesson. This needs to be researched to find out the relationship between mathematics learning attitudes, anxiety, habits, and additional mathematics learning outcomes. Quantitative research method with a survey approach.…

The study aimed to examine the relationship between teachers' motivation and their job satisfaction. The participants of the study comprised 414 teachers selected via random cluster method from different schools in the districts of Erzurum province, east of Turkey. In the study, mixed methods was adopted based on both qualitative and quantitative…
