A Monte Carlo simulation was performed to compare methods for handling missing data in growth mixture models. The methods considered in the current study were (a) a fully Bayesian approach using a Gibbs sampler, (b) full information maximum likelihood using the expectation-maximization algorithm, (c) multiple imputation, (d) a two-stage multiple…

Dating and relationship violence (DRV) and gender-based violence (GBV) among children and young people incur a high cost to individuals and society. School-based interventions present an opportunity to prevent DRV and GBV early in individuals' lives. However, with school resources under pressure, policymakers require guidance on the economics of…

This paper focuses on a single lesson created as part of a year-long comprehensive sex and sexuality programme for youth (9-12-year-old) of refugee and immigrant backgrounds. Utilising the concept of youth agency, we analysed the process of art-making with the students and its product to explore how the creation of penises and vulvas out of craft…

When higher education institutions (HEIs) have the potential to collect large amounts of learner data, it is important to consider the spectrum of stakeholders involved with and impacted by the use of learning analytics. This qualitative research study aims to understand the degree of concern with issues of bias and equity in the uses of learner…

In this article, we (re)imagine quantitative approaches in educational research to (re)evaluate our experiences as Chicana/Latina feminists, which are always inextricably both raced and gendered. Using a Chicana feminist epistemology in education, a framework that explicitly challenges the perceived objectivity and universal foundations of…

Limited emphasis is placed on understanding the gendered pathways that influence mental health, especially long-term cumulative impacts of gender-based inequalities. Exposure to early child marriage (marriage by age 15) may exaggerate exposure to gender-based mental health risk-factors, providing an opportunity to understand the multi-layered…

This study explores the effects of gendered inquiry-based learning (IBL) practices on other science learning experiences and motivations including STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) career aspirations. For this, PISA 2015 data representing the Finnish 15-year-old student population has been selected and analyzed by multiple…

Recent advances in automated writing evaluation have enabled educators to use automated writing quality scores to improve assessment feasibility. However, there has been limited investigation of bias for automated writing quality scores with students from diverse racial or ethnic backgrounds. The use of biased scores could contribute to…

There is a broad consensus about the need to educate students in ecosocial skills and intersectional feminist perspectives, which implies designing, developing and assessing interventions that address this learning in different curricular subjects. Initiatives to educate in these issues generally lack tools to assess what students have learned. In…

Preparing students for informed democratic citizenship by learning about contemporary political and social issues requires the ability to critically evaluate online data visualisations. This study examines 25 social studies teachers' perceptions of online data visualisations as informational resources for teaching, and how these perceptions…

To ensure the validity of the tests is to check that all items have similar results across different groups of individuals. However, differential item functioning (DIF) occurs when the results of individuals with equal ability levels from different groups differ from each other on the same test item. Based on Item Response Theory and Classic Test…

Background: As COVID-19 has let many students into remote learning environments and exacerbated inequality among marginalized individuals, there is a growing concern about Bias-Based Bullying (BBB) in online spaces among school-aged youths. Learning modality and perceived school fairness may affect youth's likelihood of reporting BBB. Methods:…

Inclusive education is affirmed in Icelandic laws and regulations although, at upper secondary school level, schools can apply to establish special programmes for students who have been labelled as disabled. The application process for these programs differs from the one in the mainstream regarding arrangement and time. In this article, special…

Background: Weight stigma and bias are present in education, employment, and health care institutions, and have increased in recent years. College students in pre-health majors have been documented to hold weight biases, and interventions to mitigate these beliefs have had varying results. Objectives: This study's purpose was to assess the impact…
