Anti-Indigenous racism education is often framed as a way to improve non-discriminatory care for Indigenous peoples. This study asked: What happens when anti-Indigenous racism is taken up by educators? What makes it challenging to manage in an adult classroom? What strategies are (un)successful? Ten adult educators participated--Indigenous (n =…

The current study examines the role of classroom quality in predicting learning behaviours among preschoolers experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage and developmental concerns (N[subscript children] = 267, N[subscript educators] = 97). All children were identified with developmental concerns in one or more areas (language, cognition, and/or…

To investigate the antecedents of children's trait- and state-level peer competence, this study used a random-intercepts model to separately explore the influences of early stable predictors (i.e. temperament and attachment) and dynamic environmental factors (i.e. family and school) on peer competence. The study sample included children in the…

This study advances mathematical wellbeing (MWB) research by mapping specific pedagogical practices associated with high class-level MWB. Through examining a Year 5 classroom demonstrating high MWB in a sample of 350 classes (4137 students; 160 teachers), the analysis revealed five key pedagogical practices: substantive conversations, challenging…

The pedagogical environment's significant role in education is viewed as a "third educator" in Reggio Emilia's pedagogical philosophy. This study employs a posthuman theoretical framework and an art-based educational research method to explore how teachers experience the role of physical pedagogical environments, the barriers that may…

This brief provides a systemwide look at early childhood teacher turnover using data from all publicly funded, center-based early childhood programs in Louisiana, including subsidized child care, Head Start, and pre-kindergarten. It provides new evidence on the prevalence of turnover and explores whether teachers who leave differ from those who…

All individuals possess an inner voice that helps them to navigate life and its challenges. However, little is known about how children use self-talk to maintain their momentary engagement during academic tasks. Using qualitative methods, this study investigated how 19 children (aged 8-12 years) from one primary school prospectively used self-talk…

Research Findings: This study employed multiple approaches to examine the stability of teacher--child interaction quality in Chinese preschools. Teacher-child interaction quality was measured using the "Classroom Assessment Scoring System" (CLASS) on five observational cycles within a school day. Several different metrics of stability…

This paper draws on data from an ongoing study on pre-service (PS) teachers' perceptions of early childhood/elementary classrooms, conducted during a university course on arts and creativity in early childhood education (ECE). The study focuses on PS teachers' perspectives on arts and material pedagogies in ECE classrooms via pre- and post-class…

This article examines narratives from student discussions in a university course for preservice teachers, focusing particularly on dialogic markers that indicate deep, holistic grappling with race and racism in education that we frame as "emotionally connected." We frame "emotional connectedness" in critical feminist theories…

Monitoring students' attention and engagement levels in classrooms are critical in promoting an interactive teaching process. Therefore, in addition to teaching, instructors are constantly making an effort to monitor and maintain the students' attention and engagement levels throughout the lecture session. Recent advancements in computer vision…

Engaging students in scientific argumentation is a hallmark of high-quality science instruction. Despite the importance of this practice, it is not a ubiquitous one within K-12 classrooms since scientific argumentation is complex and difficult to learn how to do well. In this study, we examined similarities and differences in how preservice…

Contributing to the debate on decolonising the curriculum, this reflective article questions: What does a safe space in a decolonised classroom mean? For whom is it safe? And at what cost? Must we redraw the parameters of 'safe'? Prompted by a real-life 'n-word incident' in the classroom, this article unpacks the collision of decolonising the…
