Hate-postings are an example of cyberhate that can happen among students in a school. However, no study to date has ever investigated this phenomenon from the perspectives of teachers and almost nothing is known about it in the school setting. Teachers (N= 130, 83% female) reported their knowledge, attitudes, and likely responses to a hypothetical…

Sexuality education is a place where learners are able to build their knowledge, attitudes, and skills for promotive sexual health behaviors. However, teachers must be trained to meet the perceptions of learners and modify pedagogy to create an inclusive, affirming, and socially just learning experience. The purpose of this study was to examine…

Education is the basic right of every child in any condition. Unfortunately, the conflict in Syria has denied 2 million students education and destroyed 7,000 schools (United Nations Children's Emergency Fund [UNICEF], 2021). Education during conflict is even more critical to promote strong social, emotional, and cognitive development in children.…

This study examined the ways in which White teachers talk about facilitating conversations about race in their classrooms. Through semistructured interviews of eight teachers in a suburban school district in Central California, information was gathered about how teachers talk about race or avoid talking about race in their classrooms and what…

Course evaluations can be an effective tool for students to appraise a course and instructor; however, they can also be a communicative space for students to write comments instructors perceive as hurtful, need to make sense of and reconcile with their instructional practice. Instructors turn to others to help make sense of and cope with comments.…

This study explores secondary in-service mathematics teachers' professional noticing of student work on a statistical task involving informally placing a line of best fit. The manuscript describes how teachers interpreted student work on the line of best fit task, how teachers responded to the student work, and associations between their…

This paper highlights how the application of principles of formative assessment and a generous reading protocol changed my perspective on disappointing student work and led to course adjustments to positively impact student learning.

Background/Context: Research on academic capitalism often maps changing conditions in which faculty work occurs without explaining the mechanisms by which change occurs. We use Fligstein and McAdam's theory of fields to posit that the changing conditions in which humanities faculty members work reflect activities in overlapping (the academic…

As an important instructional affordance, teacher written feedback is widely used in second language (L2) writing contexts. While copious evidence has shown that such a pedagogical practice can facilitate L2 learners' writing performance, especially their writing accuracy, little is known about how novice writing teachers conceptualize and enact…

Prior experimental, vignette-based research has illustrated an "escalation effect," whereby classroom teachers in the United States respond more harshly to Black students than White students for the same recurring misbehavior (Okonofua & Eberhardt, 2015). This research aims to examine escalation effects while also (1) considering…

Teacher expectations and judgments about student capabilities are predictive of student achievement, yet such judgments may be influenced by salient dimensions of student identity and invite biases. Moreover, ambitious math teaching may also invite teacher biases due to the emphasis on student-generated inputs and ideas. In this pre-registered…

In this study we introduce "lesson play experience" (LPE) for implementation as professional development for in-service teachers. LPE is an extension of the "lesson play" notion, which refers to a script for an imagined lesson, written by a teacher, presented as dialogue of teacher-student(s) interaction. In mathematics teacher…

This paper offers a review of the research on children, schooling, and disasters in order to identify critical information for the field of education and the practice of educational research in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. What do we know about the experiences of children and their interactions with schools during and following a natural…

The aim of this qualitative case study was to shed light on factors perceived by facilitators of adult learning to influence the transformation of their fixed/growth mindsets with the potential for enhanced or sustained feedback receptivity. This was achieved by exploring the experiences of a core team of facilitators of adult education in an…

Academic dishonesty is prevalent in institutions of higher education. Faculty are at the forefront of this issue as they are in the classroom with the students. However, faculty may be hesitant to address academic dishonesty for a myriad of reasons. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore how faculty members viewed…
