Although improvements have been made in terms of enhancing the number of students that enrol in higher education, the long-term educational pathways of adolescents to university studies are understudied. This calls for further research into the mechanisms that underpin the long-term educational pathways of adolescents who study at university…

Despite decades of tenacious advocacy and improvement efforts to expand and enshrine rights for students with disabilities, many students with individualized education programs (IEPs) still lack access to high-quality, effective learning opportunities. This can be due to a range of factors, including low expectations, exclusion from general…

Now in a revised and updated second edition addressing the evolving needs of today's K-12 educators, this established classroom resource is written by leaders in positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). Brandi Simonsen and Diane Myers provide a vital classroom management and behavior support toolkit with a primary focus on universal…

This study examined how five minoritized female pre-service teachers negotiated their border crossing from learning to teach science to science teaching for the first time (microteaching) within the context of an elementary science teaching methods course. Perspectives from the border crossing literature guided this study and helped in addressing…

Previous research has examined teacher attitudes toward student gender and teacher eye movements when looking at girls and boys in classrooms. However, to date, these two lines of research are rather separated. To better understand the co-occurrence of visual and attitudinal preferences, we investigated whether pre-service teachers' attitudes are…

The primary goal of this study was to examine a key but understudied link between early career teachers' expectations (as outcomes) and their thinking styles (as teacher factors). A second goal was to explore whether teacher self-efficacy, discipline, and grade level would moderate this relationship. We collected self-report data from 390 school…

The purpose of this case study was to explore how the discourses and pedagogy of Mariana, an urban early childhood educator in the Northeastern United States, were informed by the construct of hope as an aspect of her professional practice. Like many of her students, Mariana was an immigrant and learned English as a second language. Data for this…

This study examined 1337 children or adolescents from various educational stages (primary, junior, and senior high school levels) along with their parents. First, we examined the effects of parental education anxiety, children's academic anxiety, children's self-academic achievement expectation, and parental self-blame on the progression of…

This study investigated whether students' gender, prior achievement, and socioeconomic status (SES) moderated the magnitude of teacher expectation effects on students' English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) achievement. A sample of 30 university teachers and 845 first-year undergraduate students from EFL classrooms participated in the study. Data on…

Peer beliefs and attitudes play a prominent role in adolescent behaviors. Various curricula have been developed to teach students about sexual health from a skills-based perspective with successful, lasting effects. This study examined how adolescents' expectancies for success in and values held for a sexual health curriculum are related to their…

Even though students from African backgrounds have above-average education achievements in the UK, some students still struggle to integrate into the school systems. Parental involvement has been reported to have a significant influence on pupil achievement. Thus, this research aimed to identify parental involvement barriers experienced by African…

Considerable studies have examined the influence of family environment on adolescents' hope, but few studies have discussed the influence of school environment on adolescents' hope, and even fewer have investigated the mediating and moderating mechanisms between teacher-student relationships and hope among rural adolescents. To address these…

The experience of past or current trauma can interfere with learning in post-secondary education and can be particularly problematic for people from equity-deserving groups. Implementing trauma-informed pedagogical practices could contribute significantly to post-secondary education by cultivating safe and equitable learning spaces that support a…

Background: International students often encounter systemic and individual challenges, especially in language-intensive fields like Speech-Language Pathology (SLP). Although their experiences are documented in well-established contexts, little is known about newer host countries such as Türkiye, where enrolments have recently risen. Understanding…

The students' socioeconomic background effect on the educational outcomes makes it more difficult to find real equality of opportunity within the educational system. In this paper, we analyse the relationship of career guidance at school with cognitive skills, and also with expectations and motivation for a sample of more than 188,000 15-year-old…
