Well-being plays a critical role in student performance and engagement. The purpose of this pilot study is to describe an active and experiential learning activity and examine its effect on promoting well-being in a convenience sample of graduate students. The results of this study demonstrated that the active and experiential learning…

Objective: To investigate exercise stages of change (SOC) and physical barriers among undergraduates at an Historically Black University (HBCU) and quantify their relationship. Participants: A total of 326 undergraduate HBCU students; 198 were females (body mass index (BMI) range 16.5-87.9; M = 26.5 ± 6.8) and 127 were males (BMI range 18.0-49.3;…

Since the onset of the 21st century, the concept of nostalgia has evolved from individualized, emotionally driven private customization into a universal, societal, and national public phenomenon and cultural landscape, thereby constituting a form of "nostalgic culture" with widespread significance. Nostalgia refers to "a sentimental…

In a cultural context where youth spend almost as much time online as they do participating in any other daily activity, debates have emerged regarding the effects of cellphone and social media use on the well-being of today's young Internet "addicts." This research centres the narratives of 15 Canadian high school-aged youth to explore…

While haptic interactions are increasingly integrated into embodied Extended-Reality (XR) educational systems, their impacts on students' learning outcomes remain underexplored. To address this gap, a comprehensive three-level meta-analysis of 25 studies (50 effect sizes) was conducted to evaluate how haptic interactions in XR learning…

The chances of a woman teacher who works part-time in a secondary school becoming part of the senior leadership tier are slim; yet, little research exists around this inequality. In this study, a life history approach was used to gather the messy and subjective truths of women's lives as part-time teachers and their relationships with time and…

Many high school students access dual enrollment at 2-year colleges, but the credits associated with their college-level courses may not transfer if they later matriculate to 4-year institutions as first-year undergraduates. In this study, we ask whether statewide articulation agreements can support the postsecondary success of participants by…

Background: Attending and responding to when and where teachers are with respect to change--the temporal aspects of teacher learning--can yield more effective professional development (PD) efforts. Toward this end, we conceptualize phases of learning in a PD program, and how these phases are shaped by teacher learning ecologies. Methods:…

This study explores the comparative effectiveness of two versions of the MITCA homework method--paper-based and digital--in promoting self-regulated learning (SRL) among 1170 primary school students in Spain. Over 12 weeks, students completed tasks in core subjects across three groups: MITCA paper, MITCA digital, and a control group following…

This report sheds light on the enrollment trends of public institutions in Washington, including community and technical colleges and 4-year institutions. These institutions already share their enrollment data with the Education Research and Data Center (ERDC), which is included in the statewide longitudinal data system. This report does not…

"Current Term Enrollment Estimates Report" Series is published every January and May by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. It provides national enrollment estimates by degree level, institutional sector, enrollment intensity, age group, gender, major field as well as state-level enrollment estimates. Starting in fall…

Most teachers have limited flexibility in terms of their schedules, their opportunities for professional learning and collaboration, and how they use their time. However, recent data suggests that rethinking teacher time could be important to improving teacher recruitment and retention. How can districts and schools provide teachers more…

Computer science textbooks with lengthy text explanations of concepts are often considered thorough and rigorous, so lengthy textbooks (and class notes) are commonplace. Some, however, suggest text should be concise because people tend to skim lengthy text. This article takes advantage of modern digital textbooks that measure reading time to…

Emotion is central to principals' daily operation of schools. As principals' work is intensifying, principals are increasingly encountering emotionally charged situations on a daily basis. This article uses data from a large provincial survey to explore what time demand factors contribute to these emotionally draining situations that principals…

Hierarchical linear modelling was used to explore the effect of changes in maternal sensitivity on attachment over time. Child characteristics of gender, temperament, and developmental status were used as moderating factors. Data from 1,249 mothers and their children from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development when the children…
