Arts integration is an interdisciplinary teaching model in which the arts become a conduit for the contextualization and understanding of non-arts content. Research has shown this approach increases academic engagement and content retention (Rinne et al., 2011). The use of arts integration also provides gains for teachers. Teachers perceive their…

Several factors determine a school's success. The school-within-a-school model has gained popularity as an intervention that supports schools. This study focuses on teachers' perceptions of this model, which can offer valuable insights into the school's overall health. By understanding the perspectives of staff, school leaders can gain a better…

For 25 years, the National Science Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program has been supporting efforts to broaden participation and meaningfully diversify the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) postdoctoral and faculty ranks. To examine the structures and strategies carried out by…

Universities are increasingly incorporating flipped learning as an effective instructional approach. Given the popularity of flipped learning, numerous studies have examined the psychological aspects of students and learning achievement in flipped learning classes. However, little research has examined the social influence processes of students in…

This paper presents a tool for creating student models in logistic regression. Creating student models has typically been done by expert selection of the appropriate terms, beginning with models as simple as IRT or AFM but more recently with highly complex models like BestLR. While alternative methods exist to select the appropriate predictors for…

Education is a constantly evolving field that requires continuous professional development. While policymakers continue to implement school reforms, many of them depend on teachers' ability to learn and improve instruction to increase student learning. Teachers have a double role in educational reforms by being simultaneously subjects and objects…

Gamification is an approach that solves real-life motivational problems with game design techniques by target a long-term behavioral change in participants. However, the application models in gamification design are limited and lack a holistic approach in scope. While existing models may seem sufficient on their own, they tend to focus on certain…

One of the most persuasive technologies in developing universities' smart campus applications is the Internet of Things (IoT) technique. Deploying thousands of readily available devices connected to IoT systems by ignoring device vulnerabilities and threat strategies in smart campus infrastructure is exacerbating security challenges. Moreover,…

The use of smartphones has become a primary need in supporting human daily activities. With the presence of a smartphone, various activities can be carried out only through an application. One application that is currently popular with Indonesians is an investment application with products such as stocks, mutual funds, and crypto. The presence of…

Research over the monitoring of at-risk youth. Behavioral interventions have been the primary focus of this literature past two decades has focused on one aspect of dropout prevention: early identification an however, there is renewed emphasis placed on attendance and academic risk factors under ESSA. Recognizing a need to promote early…

Mixed Membership Models (MMMs) are a popular family of latent structure models for complex multivariate data. Instead of forcing each subject to belong to a single cluster, MMMs incorporate a vector of subject-specific weights characterizing partial membership across clusters. With this flexibility come challenges in uniquely identifying,…

This study explores the relationship between the identity development of a school principal and the concept of social justice leadership. We examine how one African American principal used equity-focused leadership in two different high schools to improve the conditions of all students. Erikson's view of identity and Cross's conception of…

Research has shown that the effectiveness of written corrective feedback (WCF) on writing performance depends on learners' engagement with WCF and its associated motivational state. However, little research has examined the inner causal relationships between motivation, learner engagement with WCF, and writing performance. The current study fills…

Complex data structures are ubiquitous in psychological research, especially in educational settings. In the context of randomized controlled trials, students are nested in classrooms but may be cross-classified by other units, such as small groups. Furthermore, in many cases only some students may be nested within a unit while other students may…
