The sustainability pedagogy has been considered a central framework for projects in Education for Sustainability due to its importance of equipping people with knowledge, values, skills, attitudes, and behaviors compatible with sustainability.

The relationship between student activity data and performance in the online classroom is well-documented, yet the parameters of this relationship and their implications for K-12 online schools are not yet well understood. This study examined the role of student chronotype (defined here as the time of day a student is most active in an online…

In this paper we assess the extent to which social cap- ital affects the student activity-drinking relationship. Hierarchical OLS regressions (n=167) showed that bridging social capital closed the gap in alcohol consumption between students who spent little, versus a lot of, time participating in sports/fitness activities by reducing how…

This study developed a learning system that allows teachers to edit assignments designed to teach students the text structure strategy through the use of four phases: instructing, modeling, practicing, and reflecting. A 7-week instructional experiment was conducted in which 84 12th-grade students learned the text structure strategy using this…

Little is known about the specific manner in which students cope with academic failure. To address this gap, a new measure of failure-coping behaviour was developed and validated. Two hundred and thirty-eight undergraduate students completed a new measure of failure-coping behaviour, in addition to measures of failure appraisal, depressed mood,…

Class-wide behavioral interventions are a feasible and effective method to support the behavior of all students. In six peer-reviewed studies, Tootling, a class-wide intervention that combines positive peer reporting with an interdependent group contingency, has increased positive peer reports and academically engaged behavior (AEB), and decreased…

Researchers are exploring innovative technologies to prepare educators. A systematic literature review was conducted to study the role of tactile prompting (i.e., vibratory signals on a schedule) in teacher education. Ten studies meeting inclusion criteria were synthesized and analyzed based on how tactile prompting is utilized, effects of tactile…

This study focused on a group of Chinese EFL MEd student teachers in a language teacher…

Parasites evoke an array of emotions that subsequently can govern our action as well as our precautionary measures. If parasites are unknown, an important question is how people can be educated about this parasite. Bedbugs are blood-sucking human parasites that (i) stigmatise hosts, (ii) are hardly correctly identified by people in the western…

The purpose of this research was to conduct an exploratory study to investigate any differences in the risk of developing school refusal in students with low academic achievement and students with specific learning disorder (SLD), and moreover to compare both groups to students with high academic achievement. Furthermore, we want to investigate…

Background: Academic buoyancy refers to students' ability to come through ordinary challenges they face in the academic context, and it can positively contribute to students' beliefs and behaviours in learning situations. Although buoyancy has been found to be related to positive academic outcomes, previous studies have not examined how buoyancy…
