Objective: To evaluate effects of the MINDSTRONG© cognitive-behavioral skills building program versus an attention control program on mental health outcomes and lifestyle behaviors of graduate health professional students. Participants: 201 entering graduate students from seven health sciences colleges at a public land grant University in the U.S.…

This study aimed to explore the interaction between teachers and young students in terms of their question and answer patterns during science lessons and to investigate whether this changes over the course of an intervention called 'Language as a Tool for learning science' (LaT). It also compared experienced teachers with novices. A total of 16…

This two-part study investigated how educational psychologists (EPs) might support schools working with young people (YP) with eating disorders (EDs). Part one explored the current support in UK schools for secondary-aged pupils with EDs, and the areas that parents (n52) and school staff (n39) felt needed further development, using online…

This article examines the effect of different educational approaches to environmental education (EE) in the environmental attitudes of 507 preservice teachers. In one experimental group EE was addressed in a science subject and in other experimental group in a literature subject. The latter integrated content and competences in a transdisciplinary…

This study delivered an intervention that included education, contact by video, an environmental assessment and reflection activity, and hands-on experiences via a university course that centred on the Go Baby Go programme. Go Baby Go involves modifying off-the-shelf, battery-operated, ride-on cars for young children with disabilities to use for…

In this paper, we present insights from the qualitative data collected during a process evaluation of a reading intervention project carried out in primary and secondary schools in West Yorkshire, England. Commercially available reading interventions, financed by the Strategic School Improvement Fund, were delivered by school staff to…

Faded bedtime has been evaluated as a behavioral intervention for delayed sleep-onset principally with children and youth who have intellectual and developmental disabilities in hospital and home settings. The present case report describes behavioral assessment and faded bedtime intervention in a 21-year old adult man with autism spectrum disorder…

Novice teachers are often discouraged by the problems they encounter in their daily professional practices and they (still) feel unable to cope with. This is also reflected in high drop-out rates in the early stages of teachers' careers. In this paper a theory-informed methodology to support novice teachers' individual and collective professional…

Some studies have reported that the initial music training of primary teachers can be problematic due to gaps in disciplinary and didactic training and a relative neglect of the objectives that music education should address in the school curriculum. Such gaps may lead to low levels of self-confidence in teaching music in the general classroom.…

Students with disabilities benefit from positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS; Meyer et al., 2021). The use of school-wide and class-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) shows promise in helping educators to integrate evidence-based practices for the benefit of all students, including those diagnosed with…

Faculty trust and student bullying are two salient properties known to affect school environments. Indeed, the presence of organizational trust bolsters student achievement and promotes school safety, thus making schools more effective, although bullying behaviors abate the effectiveness of schools. Therefore, understanding potential relationships…

The impact of the pandemic on student learning was significant and widened pre-existing achievement gaps for historically disadvantaged students. To provide insight on the most effective strategies that teachers and leaders can adopt, educators in three partner districts that have invested in improving classroom instruction as their primary lever…

Among programs designed to reduce teen pregnancy, few evidence-based interventions specifically aim to reduce repeat pregnancies. Repeat pregnancies among adolescent mothers, however, are both prevalent and consequential. About one-sixth of births to adolescent mothers are repeat births. Compared to adolescent mothers with only one child, those…

The goal of early intervention and early childhood special education is to enable young children with disabilities to be active and successful participants during their early childhood years and in the future. Child outcomes are the benefits that children and families experience as a result of early intervention or early childhood special…

The use of simulation has increased due to the shortage of clinical sites and nursing faculty. Patient acuity and privacy laws have contributed to the increase. Research science in simulation is established in the areas of scenario execution and with the debriefing phases. However, prebriefing is an understudied phase of the simulation.…
