Supporting school communities following a critical incident (CI) is a stressful, yet established, part of an educational psychologist's (EP's) role. The authors aim to explore whether emotional intelligence (EI), the number of CIs worked, and coping strategies predict EPs' CI self-efficacy, and to gather EPs' views on CI training. Ninety-five EPs…

Research suggests that bullying victimization occurs at higher rates among students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) than among their typically-developing peers. This study used data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2012 to explore differences in student and family characteristics between students with ASD and students with all…

The use of online teaching has increased rapidly, especially since the start of the global pandemic of COVID-19. K-12 teachers in Saudi Arabia, like many teachers globally, found themselves with a new way of teaching because of the pandemic.

Background: Responses to digital cognitive training interventions vary greatly among children with intellectual and developmental disorders (IDD). Investigating possible predictors of improvements following training is vital in ascertaining which individuals benefit from these interventions. Methods: Seventy-three children (4-11 years) with IDD…

The purpose of this study is to examine which, and how, reflective practices as instructional strategies affect students' self-directed learning (SDL) competencies in second language university classes. To answer the research questions, an explanatory mixed-methods approach was used to extend quantitative research through qualitative research.…

Reading self-concept is an important predictor of reading comprehension and vice versa. However, the mechanisms that are at work in this relation have yet to be identified. In line with the self-enhancement approach, we propose that in the reading domain, amount of reading, book choice (text difficulty and book length), and intrinsic reading…

The aim of the current research is to assess the relationship between students and teachers and students' social status in their peer group and bullying dimensions in children who stutter. A total of 536 children -- 62 affected by…

To date, only student's collaborative behaviour in learning is seen and linked to achievement motivation. Even though the teacher has a great role to determine learning process, only few research findings link collaborative teacher to student learning motivation. This study aims to identify predictions of correlation between students' perceptions…

Research tracking sport participation from youth to adulthood is relatively rare, as is research that tracks youth sport participation with regard to adult physical activity (PA) levels, especially in the United States. Aims of this study were: 1) To investigate the degree to which sport participation tracked across youth, adolescence, and early…

Focusing on youth attitudes during a time of political upheaval in Catalonia, we study 1,438 high school students, aged 15 to 16, nested within 30 high schools.

The partnership model in which universities collaborate with community colleges for the prelicensure Bachelor of Science (BSN) education has been identified by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) as one of five viable academic progression models for nursing. The current literature lacks evidence on the success of these academic progression…

Prior research in mathematical assessments has indicated varying results of predictive variables and further research has been recommended to support students, parents, teachers, and school administration. The purpose of this research was to determine how well a student's performance on a mathematics domain at the state level may be predicted…

The purpose of this quantitative correlational research study was to determine to what extent, if any, teacher technology-related professional development affected the actual integration of technology in the classroom among 9th-12th-grade teachers. Convenience sampling was used to collect data. The sample for this study was 78 high school teachers…

Measurement feedback systems (MFSs) that routinely collect and report client progress to mental health therapists have demonstrated beneficial impact on outcomes in numerous studies, with evidence that there is a dose-response relationship related to the implementation of the MFS. The current study examined the impact of MFS implementation…
