This narrative review integrates theoretical and empirical scholarship in which relationships between teacher leadership and teacher wellbeing are addressed. The review highlights four dimensions of teacher leadership (identity, formality, practices, and level of influence) and considers potential links with domains of wellbeing that may be…

Attending to students' mathematics identities is necessary to provide all students with the opportunity to learn mathematics. Studies of students' mathematics identities must consider the context of the mathematics classroom. My overarching research question was, "How does the teacher to student discourse that takes place in rural, secondary…

OER-enabled pedagogy, one form of open pedagogy, is gaining popularity as a method for increasing student engagement and motivation. Realising the potential of this approach, however, depends on faculty implementation and reducing resistance to change. This study explores the experience of instructors during their first and second courses when…

Purpose: Hybrid learning, integrating online methods of instruction with face-to-face learning methods, has recently gained increased attention. The literature on pedagogy and course management has focused on hybrid learning as a combination of virtual and physical environments, which can shift learning to a more student-centered model from the…

Purpose: Studies have shown that science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers remain to be one of the areas where there is considerable job growth (Lacey & Wright, 2009; National Science Board, 2010; Singh et al., 2002). However, in many rural regions, science teachers still find it challenging to motivate adolescents to…

In the literature, studies examined either distributed leadership's (DL), or principal instructional leadership's (PIL) effect on student learning. However, few studies examined the relationship between DL and PIL, and it is unknown to what extent DL supports PIL. We explored this gap by examining both principals' and teachers' perception data of…

Online education options have expanded rapidly, yet empirical knowledge of students' adoption choices remains relatively limited. Within higher education, it is important for both instructors and administrators to understand what students value in online courses in order to provide a quality learning experience and manage enrollment demands. The…

The role of student choice reading on engagement and academic achievement from the perspective of teachers is the topic of this study. The problem addressed is that middle school students often struggle with reading due to a lack of engagement in English Language Arts courses. Students and educators are mainly impacted by this problem; however,…

This research study examined the perceptions of educators and law enforcement professionals regarding the procedures used in schools by law enforcement.

There is a gap in the literature and research concerning what African Americans perceive ADHD to be, and their concerns about the racism, labeling and stigmatism their child(ren) with ADHD may have to experience. This research study explored the perceptions and experiences of 10 African American mothers parenting school age children with ADHD…

The purpose of this study is to test the relationship between seventh-grade students' personal epistemology for science, subjective task value, and science self-efficacy, with prior achievement serving as a moderator. The mediating role of subjective task value is proposed in the prediction of the relationship between personal epistemology for…

This study was guided by the central research question: "What are the lived experiences and perceptions of former African American teachers and students that endured segregation, desegregation, and integration in Arkansas' Delta?" The phenomenological study used eight former African American teachers and student participants. Of the…

This paper chronicles the journey of how our educational studies department answered student demands for change and engaged in a departmental inquiry into antiracism and abolition that continues to this day. We conceptualize what emerged over this three-year journey as a framework and process for Collective Racial Literacy Development (CRLD).

This national research snapshot by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) collects evidence on evidence use in Australian early childhood education and care (ECEC) services, including: (1) a survey of Australian ECEC educators, teachers and leaders; (2) interviews with Australian ECEC educators, teachers and leaders; and (3) a rapid…

PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) is one of two large scale international comparative projects of student assessment that now exert considerable influence upon school science education policy, the other being TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study). This paper focuses on PISA, now the most influential…
