Scientific knowledge is often abstract and challenging, making it difficult for students to apply these concepts effectively. Digital game-based learning (DGBL) offers an engaging and immersive approach, but the fixed resources and predetermined learning paths in most games limit its ability to adapt to individual learners' needs. Large language…

Purpose: This research aims to enhance the model of student learning behavior by expanding the traditional theory of reasoned action (TRA) to incorporate variables such as student mental well-being (SMW), attitude, subjective norms (SNB), perceived behavioral control (PBC) and climate change concerns. The study examines students' intentions as a…

Elementary school students with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are likely to experience social difficulties and challenges with peer relationships (e.g., victimization, rejection, isolation, and negative peer influence). A particularly salient influence on students' classroom-based social experiences is how they are…

Social media educational tools represent an opportunity for higher education (HE) institutions to enhance postgraduate students' skills development. LinkedIn Learning can be used to complement classroom teaching and learning. However, the drivers and outcomes of this tool remain a gap in the literature. This study uses a cross-sectional research…

Increasing research has indicated associations between popularity goal and adolescents' social functioning. However, little is known about the processes intervening and moderating these associations. We examined whether popularity status insecurity explained the longitudinal associations of popularity goal with depression and social behavior among…

This two-part study looks at disrespectful talk and behavior in tween's television programming (study 1) and its relationship to disrespectful talk and behavior by young viewers (study 2). First, a content analysis was conducted to examine the amount of disrespectful talk and disrespectful behavior in the top programs that children aged 6-12…

To address the high-rate, interfering stereotypy of three autistic students, a chained schedule for treating stereotypy was combined with skill-based treatment for challenging behavior. Treatment consisted of progressively widening contingencies to differentially reinforce functional communication, toleration, and accurate task completion with…

Bias influencing teachers' classroom management is increasingly clear, but the circumstances that influence the likelihood of relying on those biases are less understood. This study employed Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis, resulting in four models examining how teachers' appraisals of first-grade students' externalizing problem…

To explore how teachers' beliefs and behaviour change throughout implementation processes, N = 47 teachers participated in a 6-month professional development (PD) programme, and then implemented a differentiated reading innovation over one school year (totalling 15 months). Teachers' beliefs (acceptability, feasibility, self-efficacy) and…

Young children's experience of positive, close relationships with their early care and education (ECE) teachers provides a critical foundation for their well-being and learning in ECE settings. Teacher-child relationships (TCRs) characterized by closeness and low conflict are associated with positive child behavior, strong learning gains, and…

Examining self-reported problems of students receiving school mental health (SMH) services holds promise for informing strategies across all tiers of school support. However, no prior research has investigated students' self-reported needs. The current study coded open-ended youth problem statements (N = 1212) from a diverse sample of 455 students…

This paper describes the relationship between student identity, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and risk for receiving calls home for problems in school. Data are drawn from the 2017 to 2018 National Survey of Children's Health (n = 4,579). Critical race theory and QuantCrit were used to frame the study and analysis. Findings reflect that…

Multisensory environment is a setting designed with activities and tools that offered sensory stimulation. Despite their widespread use, no evidence-based guidelines are currently available. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the impact of multisensory environment interventions in autism and to provide guidelines. We included all…

The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of primary school teachers about the problem behaviors and speech and language difficulties they encounter in their students based on their experiences and to reveal their needs for these issues. A basic qualitative research design, also known as basic interpretive qualitative research or…

Recent studies have shown that children with developmental language disorder (DLD) often face challenges in emotion recognition (ER) skills, which impacts their social and behavioural outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a flexible online intervention in meeting the individual needs of children with DLD, focusing on ER…
