Neuroscience findings offer promising ways to enhance performance in educational settings. Adolescents often experience sleep deprivation, impacting memory processes crucial for learning. The synaptic homeostasis hypothesis (SHY) posits that non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, particularly slow wave activity (0.5-4 Hz), downscales synapses…

School burnout, defined as prolonged feelings of exhaustion, cynical attitude and inadequacy feelings towards schoolwork, can lead to mental problems during adolescence. To find effective ways to prevent burnout, this study examined the synergistic role of two positive personal resources, a stress-is-enhancing mindset and academic buoyancy in…

For athletic coaches, there are many methods to coach athletes. One method that may not be as common, or even thought of as coaching, is silence. Silence is when the coach does not speak but is thinking of specific team, player, and competitor items. The purpose of this study was to interview consistently successful high school baseball coaches…

The researcher focused on beginning teachers in Career and Education Technical high schools. Great proportions of new teachers exit the profession, and thus the aim of this study is to understand the school-related conditions that cause teacher burnout for new teachers entering the field in this school context.

The present study examined the mediating role of emotional exhaustion in the relationship between work-family conflicts and commitment to the profession and the moderating role of psychological capital in explaining the proposed mediating mechanism. The study was based on a cross-sectional design and was conducted in Spring 2020 on a convenience…

The Advanced Placement (AP) program created by the College Board offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. The AP course curriculum program comprises a panel of college-level educators and experts in a particular field of study. Colleges and Universities may grant placement and course credit to those students who…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how end-of-course general education teachers in public high schools (grades 9-12) described cognitive fatigue during the preparation and implementation of standardized testing practices in a Texas urban public school district. Prior to this study, it was not known how Texas public…

Purpose: Previous literature has demonstrated the contribution of emotional intelligence to various socioemotional processes including well-being, job performance, and leadership effectiveness. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among emotional intelligence, unpleasant emotions, emotional exhaustion, and job…

Teachers interact with schoolchildren on a daily basis. Hence, they are likely to be the first to recognise a child's problem and the first to extend help. Yet showing concern and providing help to schoolchildren with complex needs can be stressful, making teachers vulnerable to compassion fatigue in that they become over-involved and begin to…

Delaying school start times may help in alleviating some of the negative effects of the lack of sleep among adolescents. There appears to be a consensus among various researchers that later school start times are associated with an increase in total sleep time in adolescents, although some researchers find that such an effect might be fleeting. In…
