Our field has generally reached a consensus that active-learning approaches improve student success; however, there is a need to explore the ways that particular instructional approaches affect various student groups. We examined the relationship between gender and student learning outcomes in one context: inquiry-oriented abstract algebra. Using…

The purpose of this research; social studies is to examine the relationship between the cognitive flexibility skills of teacher candidates and the learning strategies of supernatural (metacognitive learning strategies) in terms of various variables.

This research examined how 5-, 8-, and 11-month-olds with female primary caregivers mentally represented faces using a familiarization procedure similar to real-world experience in which infants have greater exposure to female faces aged 21-39 years than other face types. We predicted infants would form weighted representations of faces (i.e.,…

This article presents the results of a national survey into whether, what, how and why adults across Britain may read aloud rather than in silence. Analysing data from 529…

Social psychologists have leveraged social norms messaging about prejudice to improve social climates. Less research, however, has explored how social identities of message sources and recipients (e.g., gender) influence receptivity to these messages. Testing for the effects of source and recipient social identity on message receptivity is not…

This systematic review explores psychometric properties of the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory adult version (SASSI-3), the most commonly used instrument by counselors for assessment and diagnosis of alcohol and substance use.

The study aimed at detecting the level of reflective teaching practices used by science teachers in classrooms. It sought to examine the potential alteration of these practices in terms of some variables, namely gender, qualification, experience, and load. The population consisted of all science teachers of physics, chemistry, and biology in the…

Much gender research in education reinforces dichotomised expectations. However, it is possible that research itself has limited the way we may explore children's gender because of binaried approaches This study focussed on two concerns: gender in embodied experiences of physical activity of primary school children, and research methods that…

While research on school suspensions and its impact on students is not new, scholars have not yet explored whether there is a link between school suspensions and high school students' preparation for success in STEM. Using nationally representative data, this study explored the relationship of suspensions to math outcomes while considering…

Introduction: Youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) demonstrate higher rates of disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) than youth with typical development (TD). DBDs such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) predict higher rates of delinquency during adolescence. Yet, few studies have examined risk-taking and delinquency among youth with ID.…

The present studies focused on the role and socialization of biographical master narratives -- cultural narratives that prescribe the types and ordering of events that should occur in one's personal life identity narrative -- by focusing on adolescent and emerging adult gender identity development.

The aim of…

Though being behaviorally active in the classroom is associated with attractive outcomes, many college students are disengaged. This study examines potential correlates of classroom engagement. Across two waves of data collection, with the second wave providing an internal replication challenge, three variables were consistently related to active…
