Problem behavior is on the rise in schools, resulting in worsened outcomes for students and teachers. Limited research has examined administrators' causal attributions of problem behavior or alignment between teacher and administrator perceptions about student behavior; this is important given literature indicating that teacher and administrator…

The development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT have transformed the academic landscape, offering learning opportunities while raising significant challenges regarding academic integrity. This study explores student perceptions and behaviours concerning academic integrity and the use of GenAI in the context of an…
