This qualitative multi-case study engaged the "testimonios" of three educators who openly shared their social and emotional experiences from their middle school years. The central inquiry, "What valuable insights can you offer from your middle school experiences to help other educators recognize and respond to the social and…

This research investigates the influence of color-filtered lighting in relation to biophilic design, specifically within the preschool learning environment where design elements impact early childhood development. Among various architectural design components, research underscores the pivotal role of lighting in affecting children's pleasantness…

With its immersive, interactive, and creative capabilities, virtual reality (VR) has been widely used in educational settings to provide students with challenging real-world experiences. As a result, interest in its effectiveness has grown. The goal of this meta-analysis is to examine how VR technology affects students' motivation to study. A…

In an online learning environment, it is important to establish a suitable assessment approach that can be adapted on the fly to accommodate the varying learning paces of students. At the same time, it is essential that assessment criteria remain compliant with the expected learning outcomes of the relevant education standard which predominantly…

Children living in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities face distinct stressors when compared to those from more advantaged backgrounds. Research indicates higher levels of child well-being may buffer against the negative effects of stress and adversities, with supportive teacher behaviors playing a key role in promoting well-being.…

This study investigated the added value of real-time adaptive feedback on seventh graders' performances in tablet-based geometry learning. To isolate the effects of the medium (ie, tablet) from those of the feedback, three groups were compared: paper-and-pencil, pen-based tablet without feedback and pen-based tablet with feedback. The feedback was…

The COVID-19 pandemic introduced significant disruptions in the learning environment for many post-secondary students. While emerging evidence suggest mental health has declined during the pandemic, little is known about how the pandemic has affected students academically. This study investigates how COVID-19 psychological distress impacts…

The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is an effective procedure for reducing disruptive classroom behavior. Students in three fifth-grade classes selected the rules of the GBG and then experienced the GBG with different forms of feedback for rule violations (vocal and visual, vocal only, visual only, no feedback). Following an initial baseline, the four…

This study examined how peer assessment and self-assessment influence higher education students' use of three modes of regulation of learning (self-regulation, co-regulation, and socially shared regulation) in an online collaborative task during the COVID-19 epidemic. Twenty-one first-year undergraduate students were assigned to one of three…

This study examined the development of the evaluation of praise that differs in congruence between what the praiser is praising (i.e. effort or ability) and what led the recipient to succeed. Children aged 7 and 8 years (second graders) and 10 and 11 years (fifth graders), as well as adults, made emotional and motivational evaluations about…

This paper draws on new empirical research examining the impact of gender-based violence (GBV) on students' experiences of higher education. While GBV across the life-course is an extremely prevalent and pressing social problem, it has been invisible within higher education. Indeed, experiences of GBV, which may profoundly shape access to and…

Multitiered systems of support (MTSS) are composed of tiered prevention and intervention in multiple domains. MTSS is often referred to as an umbrella framework that includes both a multi-tiered approach to proactive school-wide behavior (e.g., Schoolwide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) and academic supports in reading, writing,…

Progress monitoring data provide important information on student functioning in response to an intervention. Yet, there are several barriers to effective progress monitoring of internalizing symptoms among youth. To address these concerns, the current paper conceptualized the use of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) as a service delivery…

In the digital age, online learning platforms utilizing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence can provide more diverse and abundant educational resources compared to offline learning environments. However, online learners still face emotional expression and inertia trap problems. Knowledge co-creation virtual teachers (KCVTs) can…

Value Stream Mapping (VSM), a lean manufacturing technique, is a process analysis approach that focuses on value and waste. This project explored the development and incorporation of a VSM-inspired tool to help dance composition students consider the value present in their choreography explicitly. The proposed Choreographic Tension Mapping (CTM)…
