Background: Researchers regularly must decide what information is necessary to understand school climate and how to include climate in a study. For example, which factors and/or scales should be used, is using just 1 scale for school climate sufficient, and to what extent does the selection of a single scale influence the research findings? Aims:…

Stohlmann, Micah S. – Middle School Journal, 2023
Over the past ten years, interest in game-based learning has increased. This increase stems from the results of research that demonstrate the potential for increased mathematical learning and engagement when game-based learning was implemented. It has been noted that the most frequent way game-based learning is included in research is with drill…

STEM education has become an economic factor in the United States, developing countries and in other established economies such as Europe and Australia. There is, however, a lack of consensus on how STEM curricula are enacted across K-12 learning environments in general and with particular interest in the middle grades - the phase of schooling…

Przybyla-Kuchek, Julia – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Many approaches have been taken to study gender (in)equities in mathematics education, including studies of students' achievement on standardized tests, participation in postgraduate degrees and careers, participation in the classroom, and students and teachers' mathematics identities. In this dissertation, I used Baxter (2003b)'s Feminist…

Yusuke Uegatani; Hiroki Otani; Shintaro Shirakawa; Ryo Ito – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Due to the learning paradox, students cannot have real difficulty in understanding a mathematical concept that they have not yet understood. There is a gap between real difficulties, directly experienced by students, and illusionary ones, only observed by researchers. This paper aims to offer a critical reflection on our understanding of the term…

Bryan Keller; Zach Branson – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2024
Causal inference involves determining whether a treatment (e.g., an education program) causes a change in outcomes (e.g., academic achievement). It is well-known that causal effects are more challenging to estimate than associations. Over the past 50 years, the potential outcomes framework has become one of the most widely used approaches for…

As the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus spread across the world, countries took drastic measures to counter the disease by requiring their citizens to home self-isolate i.e., lockdown. While it was not known how young people would cope with the social distancing restrictions, there was concern that the lockdown would have a debilitating effect on youth…

Culp, Mara E.; Davis, Virginia Wayman – Journal of General Music Education, 2023
In U.S. music education, the elementary music program is the level most likely to include all students, before music becomes an elective choice in secondary schools. As students approach adolescence, however, their interest in general music may decline, particularly if they are not engaged in activities they find meaningful. Although past research…
