Interacting with others is an important aspect of life. Especially in education, collaborations can help students learn. Unfortunately, there are often systemic barriers of science being perceived as individualistic, which may impact student success in science. Therefore, this study investigated how college students' (n = 672) social experiences…

Sociocultural factors and STEM identity have been previously shown to influence the success and mental health of students. Likewise, student identity influences persistence and can be protective of success and psychological distress in minoritized populations. This work sought to understand how sociocultural factors and mental health were related…

Rates of lifetime substance use are staggering among youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) though less is known about whether risk factors and rates vary for different racial groups. We gathered survey data from 169 YEH to examine whether various distal and proximal stressors are linked with youths' substance use and whether they varied for four…

Studies on the discourse of neoliberalism in English language textbooks (ELT) concur that neoliberalism originated from the west: thus, its values are imported into the rest of the world through the textbooks produced by western global ELT producers. Instead, the current study shows that neoliberalism is not necessarily an entirely foreign concept…

Students are required to be resilient when they encounter stress, academic difficulties, and even stereotypes during challenging STEAM activities.

This study explores parents' views of science as a family sociocultural background that influences how parents support children's science talk as they engage in a science activity together at home. We focus on Indonesian families as they have distinct sociocultural characteristics that may yield different parent-child interactions than their…

Belonging is a critical factor for supporting student success and well-being in school. Unfortunately, the work of fostering belonging at school for all students continues to face significant challenges. One reason is that the field of education is working from a limited conception of school belonging, based mainly in the discipline of psychology.…

They differentiate social elements and agencies of socialisation, and they endow the latter with three conditions: the requirements of scope, time and intensity and specific set of rules. "Purpose:" The purpose…
