The issue of turnover intention and actual turnover is a growing concern worldwide, particularly in the higher education sector. However, little attention has been paid to conducting bibliometric studies to map this phenomenon in the higher education sector. To address this gap, we conducted a bibliometric analysis using science mapping tools to…

Purpose: This study aims to provide a causal framework for teacher burnout (BO) and work engagement (WE) by examining the factors that contribute to it and evaluating how progressive education (PE) affects teachers' performance in Higher education institutions (HEIs). Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a multi-stage sampling technique…

This work analyzes the educational proposals designed by 130 future secondary school teachers (FTs) to address socioecological problems--in this case, the presence of microplastics in the environment--, and the relationship with their own perceptions and commitments regarding these problems. The research design was mixed, with both qualitative and…

One potentially fruitful application for human capital analytics is to support policies and practices that might reduce undesirable teacher turnover. Teacher turnover can be harmful to student achievement and faculty cohesiveness and can exacerbate teacher shortages. This article describes an attempt to build a human capital analytics tool to help…

In this study, we examined demographic patterns of participation and persistence in high school elective music ensembles. We extend prior research that has only compared music and non-music students by explicitly modeling persistence across multiple years of ensemble enrollment. The research draws on data from the High School Longitudinal Study of…

The High-Impact Practices (HIPs) Spectrum is a taxonomy for assessing and categorizing courses along a continuum based on elements of High Impact Practices (Marten et al., in press). This study provides quantitative evidence for the validity and impact of the HIPs Spectrum by analyzing seven years of enrollment data in a Midwestern regional…

When an external crisis exacerbates an internal crisis, do organizational factors still matter? Given the crises of the COVID-19 pandemic and teacher burnout, it may be unlikely for organizational decisions to matter. However, this research using a representative sample of US K-12 teachers (n = 1,061 teachers instructing youths aged 5 to 18)…

While half of public school students in Colorado identify as students of color, 85 percent of the state's teachers are White, predominantly monolingual English-speaking women. During the 2024-25 school year, approximately 70 out of 178 school districts had no teachers of color. Sixty-two percent of Colorado school districts do not employ a single…

Introduction: Out-of-school time (OST) programs can have a positive impact on youth outcomes, including academic achievement and social-emotional development. However, there are vast inequities in program accessibility and quality, with low-income adolescents being particularly underserved. This study synthesizes research on OST programs serving…

The field of special education (SPED) has been suffering a shortage of professionals at every level for several years. This shortage is especially pronounced at higher education faculty level and for individuals who are considered culturally diverse (CD). To increase the number of CD SPED faculty, it is important to understand the positive and…

In this paper, we examine the impact of a change to federal financial aid policy that gave aided students increased access to course retaking. Prior to Fall 2011, students receiving federal financial aid could not count repeated coursework toward their full-time enrollment count, despite many universities rolling out course retaking and grade…

Using student-centered pedagogies can greatly improve student outcomes compared to lecture-based instruction. One of these outcomes--students' sense of belonging--is associated with increased retention and motivation and is necessary for improving equity and inclusion. Although many methods may support belonging in the classroom, it is unclear…

Drawing on the job demands-resources model and conservation of resources theory, this study explored the roles of two types of resources, namely academic buoyancy (a personal resource) and perceived autonomy support (a social resource), and their interactive effect on self-regulated learning (an adaptive outcome), controlling for age, gender, and…

During the COVID-19 pandemic period, preschool teachers experienced a hard time in which they were required to implement relevant epidemic prevention policies to ensure the health of young children, increasing their work engagement, work stress, and turnover intention. This study examined the relationship between Chinese preschool teachers' sense…

Teacher turnover is a perennial concern, especially in low-performing, high-poverty schools. Although districts and schools may try to anticipate and mitigate turnover by surveying teachers about their future plans, existing research on whether teacher-reported intent is predictive of actual turnover behavior is mixed. Using unique survey data…
