This pilot study evaluated the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on teacher stress and coping as well as students' prosocial classroom behavior. This study also explored the implementation fidelity and social validity of this MBI with teachers. This study used a single-case multiple baseline design across four elementary teachers.…

Classroom intervention focusing on peer interaction persuades children to develop positive behaviour. Peer interaction plays a significant role in managing problem behaviour among adolescent children. It facilitates identifying weaknesses in children's justification for their problem behaviour. Thus, the study aimed to propose a classroom…

Research suggests that improving executive function (EF) skills using mindfulness-based interventions is promising, though few studies investigate mindfulness-based interventions for young children. The current study evaluated preliminary data examining EF over the course of a 12-week mindfulness-based curriculum implemented within preschool…

Students struggle to regulate their learning during independent study sessions. In this study, we ask whether an online behavioral intervention helped introductory students decrease distraction while studying. The intervention consisted of exam 1 reflection, exam 2 planning, and exam 2 reflection exercises. During planning, students formed a goal,…

Metacognition is often described as the awareness and regulation of learning. It uses strategies which include monitoring one's own thinking, engaging in active planning and self-evaluating one's study habits. Bloom's taxonomy can be used as a metacognitive tool to guide students' study strategies and thus improve their academic performance by…

Self-monitoring has proven to be an effective strategy for improving academic performance for students with learning disabilities (LD). In addition to academics, these interventions have improved actions such as task completion, engagement, and on-task behaviors. As a supplement to self-monitoring, self-talk strategies have similar effects in…

Providing reflective opportunities for students to independently develop their metacognition and expand their abilities to make judgments about themselves as learners, including which learning strategies are personally most effective for any given task, have been shown to improve academic performance. We designed a metacognition-based intervention…

Studies show that 46-75% of children experience trauma, often resulting in depression, anxiety, and challenging behavior as well as long-term physical and mental health issues. Today's educators, counselors, and clinicians need the right strategies to help. Written by experts with years of experience working with children and teens exposed to…

Social media is ubiquitous among today's adolescents. With constant access, social media use can become dysregulated or problematic. Concepts, such as fear of missing out (FOMO), point to the negative effects of social media use. FOMO is a pervading unease that others are having rewarding experiences from which one is absent. For adolescents,…

As evidence grows supporting the importance of non-cognitive factors in learning, computer-assisted learning platforms increasingly incorporate non-academic interventions to influence student learning and learning related-behaviors. Non-cognitive interventions often attempt to influence students' mindset, motivation, or metacognitive reflection to…

The current study evaluated the effect of technology-based self-management on disruptive behavior and academic engagement (AE) with a student with an emotional and behavioral disorder. A multiple baseline design across three general education settings was used to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, self-management using the…

Background/Context: The proposed paper will share findings from a dissertation study examining mindfulness as a tool to reduce the impacts of educator bias on school discipline disparities. Teachers are the single most important factor in determining student achievement compared to any other aspect of schooling, yet studies are finding that the…

The Mind-on-Breathing (MOB) intervention is a mindfulness-breathing exercise that aims to help promote student academic engagement (AE) and reduce off-task behaviors (OFT). MOB is designed from simple, shared technical features common to meditation, mindfulness, and breathing-related exercises that can be implemented in one-on-one settings with…

One of the main problems encountered in the online learning process is the low or absence of students' engagement. They may face problems with behavioral engagement, cognitive engagement, emotional engagement in online learning environments. It is thought that the problems related to students' engagements can be overcome with personalized…

Students who display problematic behavior in schools are subject to punitive disciplinary responses, such as detention and suspension, which typically lead to more serious academic and behavioral difficulties. There is evidence that alternative responses to problematic behavior, such as Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports and mindfulness…
