Diaspora approach to space, place, and their interaction with curriculum have empowered us to take generative pathways in understanding our roles, experiences, and agencies as Asian diaspora women faculty in teacher education in the United States. Through critical counter-narratives, this paper exposes our racialized experiences in U.S. teacher…

Certain introductory engineering courses have been termed gateway courses, due to high failure rates resulting in many students leaving engineering altogether. In one such course, thermodynamics, instructors intentionally formed peer-led study groups (PLSGs) with an undergraduate teaching aide (UGTA) playing a supportive facilitator role instead…

This qualitative study examined the perceptions of 42 fifth-grade students (ages 11-12) along with 8 staff members, 9 ornithologists, and 10 high-tech experts who participated in a hackathon event. This was the culmination of a learning process designed to find environmental, technological, and humane solutions to the competition between the…

Anti-Indigenous racism education is often framed as a way to improve non-discriminatory care for Indigenous peoples. This study asked: What happens when anti-Indigenous racism is taken up by educators? What makes it challenging to manage in an adult classroom? What strategies are (un)successful?

A growing number of early childhood interventions are intended to be used by classroom teachers to support children's emergent literacy development, yet we know little about for whom such interventions might be effective. In this study, we examined whether children's initial emergent literacy skills (alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness,…

Today's students must excel in collaboration and communication to succeed, particularly in science education. Preliminary observations revealed that Acehnese students exhibited poor teamwork and communication skills. Socio-scientific issues can enhance these competencies when integrated into science teaching. This study used the "Tarek…

In 2023, 2.5 million high school students participated in dual enrollment -- programs that allow them to take and earn credit for college-level courses. Research shows that dual enrollment leads to better student outcomes, such as higher graduation rates, college enrollment, and credit accumulation. However, access to these programs is…

Previously bullied students are at risk of severe negative consequences related to academic performance and development of mental health problems. Little is known about organizing and building capacity in schools to facilitate follow-up work that may reduce this risk. This study explored how schools can work systematically to follow-up after…

International students face unique challenges, placing them at high risk of experiencing mental disorders.

In this study, we examined the relationship between work-integrated learning (WIL) participation and securing job offers. We used a sample of 18,966 graduation survey responses collected over 7 years at a large public research institution in Florida. Specifically, we investigated how this relationship may have changed post-COVID. In the 2016-2017,…

The academic achievement gap among students educated under similar resources and learning environments has been a critical issue over the past century. Exploring and identifying potential solutions to narrow these gaps is imperative, considering the profound influence these disparities have on a student's prospects. Decades of research have…

There is a lack of identification in high abilities, usually due to the lack of economic and temporal resources. One of the possibilities for addressing this issue is the creation of screening methods. This study explores the possibilities of a gender-neutral screening tool based on leadership, executive functions, overexcitability, and…

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an eight-module Cybersecurity course at increasing the learning outcomes of middle and high school students with little to no experience in Computer Science and Cybersecurity, including underrepresented minorities (URMs) in Cybersecurity. Twice we administered and evaluated the Cybersecurity…

University students often experience significant changes to their environment and lifestyles which can present unique risk factors for health and wellbeing. This may particularly be the case for sexual minority students, given they are a group that suffer health disparities within the general population. Therefore, we sought to compare sexual…
