Across the United States, the growing number of students who enter K-12 schools from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CLD) necessitates attention to building inclusive partnerships with CLD families. This conceptual article conveys the experiences of three cohorts of educators who shaped CLD family engagement practices through…

This research focused on the role that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) play in the lives of today's college students and how protective factors may increase a student's level of resilience. This study examined participants' levels of resilience, what ACEs they experienced before entering college, and what role protective factors played in…

Mental health disparities in STEM higher education are increasingly recognised as critical factors influencing academic success and student retention. This study investigates the interrelations among anxiety, depression, psychological maladjustment and self-efficacy in a sample of 711 Chilean higher education students enrolled in STEM programmes.…

Adolescents residing in regional areas, and those from more financially disadvantaged families, traditionally have worse academic outcomes relative to their counterparts in metropolitan communities. A key mechanism that may account for these differences is how far individuals would like to progress in the educational system (aspirations) and how…

Children are commonly advised to tell a teacher when peer-victimized, but many are reluctant to do so. This study examines possible predictors of assistance-seeking in the fall and changes in assistance-seeking over the school year. Data were collected from 421 fourth and fifth graders (197 boys; M[subscript age] = 9.29, SD = 0.65; 87.4% White).…

The rapid integration of technology into various aspects of society, driven by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, has transformed the field of education.

Studies on the discourse of neoliberalism in English language textbooks (ELT) concur that neoliberalism originated from the west: thus, its values are imported into the rest of the world through the textbooks produced by western global ELT producers.

The sample comprised 40 participants (mean age = 9 years; SD = 3.6). Language and social-emotional skills were measured using parent-reported…

Learning disabilities are challenging to characterize because they evolve throughout development, frequently co-occur, and have varying domain specificity. Addressing these challenges, we analyzed longitudinal patterns of growth, co-occurrence, and specificity manifesting in the math and reading skills of children with and without learning…

School discipline is an integral part of educational systems. Its relationship with students' test anxiety has attracted increasing interest among scholars. By fitting multilevel models on data from a sample of Grade 4 students from rural schools in central China, this study examined the association between teachers' disciplinary sanctions and…

This study examines a scarcely explored topic, with the objective of elucidating inclusive and flexible organisational practices and underscoring their educational…

This study explored differences in students' self-perceived professional development between remote and in-person work during hybrid placement-based work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences. Drawing from the graduate capital model, a content analysis of interviews with students (N = 8) revealed how professional development differed between work…

Implicit stereotypes about gender and STEM may unconsciously shape students' academic choices and contribute to gender gaps in major choice, but there is limited economic evidence on this channel. To study this relationship, we administer a gender-science Implicit Association Test (IAT) to a sample of primarily first-semester undergraduates, and…
