Understanding causal mechanisms for implementation strategies is a priority for implementation and health promotion research. Logic models are helpful for understanding and illustrating mechanisms through which implementation strategies operate. Little guidance exists for developing logic models for existing implementation strategies. We…

As educational needs change, gamified immersive virtual reality (I-VR) can enhance learning by making it more interactive. Immersive virtual reality is used more in science than in the humanities. This study uses the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to explore factors that affect students' intentions to use gamified I-VR, particularly in…

Introduction: Studies have investigated the beginning of the decline in motivation during the transition of students to secondary school, with a low point in year 9. However, there are only a few studies that have researched the course of learning and achievement motivation separately for high-tracking school students, although--following the…

This study aimed to describe barriers athletic trainers (ATs) face to implementing expert recommendations for improving athletes' concussion care-seeking behavior. We distributed an electronic survey through the National Athletic Trainers' Association to 9,997 ATs working in secondary schools or collegiate institutions and received 365 complete…

Background/purpose: Nature-based schools merge environmental learning with character education, cultivating future-ready students through holistic, nature-driven growth. This study aims to examine students' character profiles in nature-based schools. Materials/methods: This study employed a qualitative case study method. The participants were…

The first experience of medical students in the dissecting room (DR) is a challenging event. Few data exist around whether or how culturally appropriate support is required in the DR for students from ethnic minorities. This pilot study explored Pasifika (peoples with heritage from the Pacific Islands) students' first experience of the DR and…

Monitoring applications (MAs) use digital and online tools to collect and track data on student behavior, and they have become increasingly popular among schools. Empirical research on these complex surveillance platforms is scant, and little is known about the efficacy or impact that they have on students. This study used a multi-method…

Challenging behavior can impact the learning environment and prevent educators and students from demonstrating behavioral and academic success. Schools and districts may implore a framework of tiered systems of support to respond to students struggling behaviorally or academically. These systems provide a decision-making process to aid educators'…

The current study examined the effects the tootling intervention on classwide levels of academically engaged behavior (AEB) and disruptive behavior (DB) by comparing traditional tootling to a formalized tootling card intervention and an interdependent group contingency control condition. The intervention used an alternating treatment design within…

This research explores the impact of the unforeseen global crisis on education and assessment practices, investigating plagiarism rates through a comprehensive analysis of 25,864 written assignments from 42 academic institutions in 2019, 2020, and 2023 before, during, and after crises, such as pandemics.
