Feature engineering plays a critical role in the development of machine learning systems for educational contexts, yet its impact on student trust remains understudied. Traditional approaches have focused primarily on optimizing model performance through expert-crafted features, while the emergence of AutoML offers automated alternatives for…

This study delves into school heads' perspectives regarding microaggressions in eight diverse school environments. The term 'microaggressions' may be unfamiliar to many, as it pertains to the subtle verbal and nonverbal offensive behaviors of students or adults in classroom settings or outside the classroom. Despite the potential impact of these…

Use of high-probability request sequences is a low-intensity intervention for increasing student compliance. There are several subtleties in implementing high-probability request sequences that make the process more complex. Review of supporting research raises concerns about how well the intervention translates into practice. This article…

Numerous studies highlight that the high adoption rates of e-learning management systems (e-LMSs) are not necessarily matched by their actual use among students in sub-Saharan African higher education. Nevertheless, factors such as perceived behavioral control of e-LMS, teaching activities in e-LMS, administrative activities in e-LMS, and…

This paper describes the evaluation of one year of infant/early childhood mental health consultation (IECMHC) in subsidized early care and education settings provided by the New York City Early Childhood Mental Health Network. The evaluation examined direct and indirect outcomes of IECMHC including (1) improved classroom practices by ECE teachers,…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently leading an industrial revolution in most aspects of human life, and education is no exception. With the increasing ratio of students to faculty, AI could be an extremely beneficial tool for individual mentoring; for example, for cases of dropout and for student retention. While many models have already…

With the rapid development of information technology, the internet has emerged as a pivotal driving force in reshaping higher education paradigms. This paper delves into clustering algorithms and proposes an enhanced version, exploring how this enhanced clustering algorithm can be applied to blended teaching of digital electronic technology…

Smartphone addiction (SA) has become a pervasive issue among university students. Therefore, it is important to better understand the conditions under which SA develops. Previous studies indicate that fear of missing out (FoMO), a psychological barrier to behavioural self-regulation, is often associated with SA risk. In the pedagogical context,…

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between student cognitive engagement and academic achievement and inquired about the moderating effects of student gender on the relationship. A cross-sectional quantitative survey approach was conducted to do descriptive and inferential statistics. Simple random sampling was employed to select…

The aim of the study is to reveal the relationships between prospective teachers' awareness of reducing ecological footprint, their sustainable consumption behaviours and their behaviours towards sustainable environmental education by using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). In the study, a cross-sectional survey model was adopted, and the…

In an era where digital platforms are central to young people's social lives, understanding how online self-presentation shapes feelings of connectedness is crucial. This study investigates the relationship between online self-presentation and social connectedness among Filipino college students, addressing a gap in the literature that often…

This article examines the impact of implementing a didactic strategy rooted in inquiry-based learning on the development of pro-environmental behaviors. The study considers the Learning Approaches and Performance Levels achieved by 108 students aged 13 to 16 from a public rural educational institution in the Department of Meta, Colombia. This…

Background: Extending recent work on mindset contexts, researchers have explored how peer mindsets relate to students' outcomes in the classroom. However, little is known about the specific behaviours that signal peer mindsets to students, and prior work has used correlational methods. Aim: The present study aims to identify specific peer…

Dissemination and evaluation of the PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX GBG) have produced a body of published and unpublished literature that, if mapped, can provide valuable insights for future expansion and evaluation efforts. Conducting a scoping review of implementation and dissemination studies and gray literature (i.e., "sources"), we…

While direct aggression negatively affects teacher-student relationships, the association with indirect aggression (IA), a form of aggression used to damage victims' interpersonal relationships, is understudied and could vary due to its covert nature. Furthermore, the directionality of the association (i.e., whether students' behaviors affect the…
