Beyond informing human resources (HR) policies and practices, information gleaned from predictive analytics, visualized via dashboards, can increase awareness and prompt employee and management actions based on identified variables often related to intent to leave and employee wellness. While considerable research, relevant measurements, and tools…

Extensive research has focused on various dimensions of dropout reasons, yet it often overlooks the importance of considering different dropout directions in the analysis. Our cross-sectional study examines the association of factors of six dimensions of dropout reasons (learner, professional, company, school, activity, and context) with four…

Although teachers are key figures of a program's effectiveness, most intervention studies to date have not explored how anti-bullying programs are associated with changes at teacher level. Moreover, teacher data also informs about aspects of program implementation, which are essential in program evaluations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to…

Agentic teacher learning is central for teachers' professional development, school development and student achievement. The purpose of the study was to explore trajectories of teachers' professional agency in the professional community during a three-year follow-up period. The data comprised surveys with Finnish comprehensive school teachers…

The problem addressed in this study is teacher retention and attrition, and the importance of this study is related to the teacher shortage. Districts have limited access to quality educators, and to maximize student learning, districts should work to maximize their retention rates and reduce attrition rates of high-quality educators. The purpose…

How do teachers perceive and experience the impact of evaluation feedback across various domains of their work? This study investigates whether there are qualitatively distinct groups of teachers in the United States based on teacher perceived impact of evaluation feedback using the 2013 Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2013).…

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this systematic literature review is to evaluate the application of UTAUT and UTAUT2 frameworks in K-12 education. Background: This study included an analysis of peer-reviewed empirical studies that use the UTAUT and UTAUT2 frameworks to understand the factors that influence technology adoption among K-12 educators. New…

As the number of traditional-aged college students has declined, competition has risen. Admission counselors, who are responsible for recruiting entering students, bear the brunt of this challenge. Nowhere is recruitment more important than at tuition dependent institutions, where revenue from student charges is the financial lifeblood. These…

The Integrated Student Choice Model and Theory of Planned Behavior are used to frame an analysis of longitudinal student data. We utilize generalized structural equation modeling to evaluate our framework and to examine the impact of select student characteristics and college experiences on actual involvement in study abroad, giving particular…

Many children have diagnosed diabetes that must be safely managed at school. New laws have created the potential for school systems to rely more heavily on unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) than on nurses to deliver health services, including administration of insulin injections. Using the theory of planned behavior as a framework, aims were to…

With the declining number of students interested in pursuing STEM courses such as Bachelor's Degree in Biology as evidenced by low enrollment, HEIs currently offering and those which intend to offer the academic degree program are competing and looking for ways to increase their competitiveness. Hence, several efforts have been made in response to…

This study employed design-based logistic regression to examine the extent to which attending a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) magnet high school, school demographics, and student-level factors explain a student's intent to declare a STEM major in the first semester of college. The results show only student-level factors…

Relying on the contingency theory, the present study examines the influence of school characteristics and principal-teacher gender (dis)similarity on the relationship between principals' systems thinking (PST) and teacher withdrawal behaviours of absenteeism and intent to leave. Data were collected from two sources: 111 school management team…
