Mathematics educators have moved past the days of students sitting quietly in mathematics classrooms, listening to their teachers while procedures are demonstrated at the board. While this is certainly not true everywhere, the evidence to move away from traditional lectures is clear. Rather than sitting and just listening, students must actively…

While students can learn both chemistry content and inquiry practices by participating in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), it is well documented that prior experiences shape perception. We conducted a case study to investigate students' first experiences with a CURE in an upper-division chemical engineering laboratory…

Education is a powerful tool for bringing about desirable change in human lives, equipping them for a lifetime and contributing to general well-being and serving as a lasting means for meaningful employment. However, when such opportunities are given with qualified access, they foster inequity. Africa has been described as an epitome of diversity…

Efficient constructed response (CR) scoring requires both accuracy and speed from human raters. This study was designed to determine if setting scoring rate expectations would encourage raters to score at a faster pace, and if so, if there would be differential effects on scoring accuracy for raters who score at different rates. Three rater groups…

The authors connect Möller and Marsh's dimensional comparison theory with Eccles, Wigfield, and colleagues' expectancy-value theory of achievement performance and choice, to help explain the observed relations between key constructs in expectancy-value theory and their relations to individuals' achievement outcomes by specifying processes that…

Doctoral study remains the most popular form of research degree globally. The student and supervisor relationship is an integral part of the postgraduate researcher (PGR) experience. Supervisory relationships can be complex and multi-faceted, with differing expectations from both supervisor and PGR. However, comparing different perspectives of the…

This article examines non-Indigenous teachers' expectations of, perceptions of, knowledge about, and attitudes towards Indigenous students in Taiwan using a Strategic Relational Approach. Drawing on survey data that combined Likert-scale responses with reflexive, open-ended questions, we found that whilst teacher survey responses indicated a…

This paper focuses on school choice "within" the public school system in Queensland, Australia. While school choice has typically been framed as a logic of economic rationalism (for middle-class families), in this paper we use Ahmed's concept of the cultural politics of emotion to describe a more complex dimension of choice through…

The purpose of this quantitative correlational-predictive study is to examine if and to what extent performance expectancy, effort expectancy, attitude toward using technology, social influence, facilitating conditions, self-efficacy, and anxiety, individually and combined, predict the behavioral intention of U.S. higher education student services…

Background/purpose: Widespread adoption of e-learning was triggered worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic and modern higher education institutions dedicated significant resources to the use of diverse e-learning systems. However, to maximize the benefits of these investments, it is crucial that the degree to which end-users accept and continue…

Educational activities are significant in that they have an important place in the life of the individual and support mental health. In this study, the relationship between mindfulness and academic buoyancy and the mediating role of academic hope were examined in a longitudinal research study. Data were collected from 287 Turkish university…

Entrepreneurship education (EE) is a hot topic and has gained the attention and interest of scholars in the United States and globally. Despite the growth of EE, scholars have been marginalizing the impact of EE at the community college level and there is a dearth of studies in this area (Liguori et al. 2019; Mars & Ginter 2012). Therefore, I…

In a K-12 educational landscape where 75% of educators are white women, recruitment of Latino male educators is crucial for diversification, yet these educators represent just 2% of the teaching workforce in the United States (NCES, 2020). These educators grapple with a layered sense of identity as they navigate expectations of hegemonic…

The focus of this doctoral project was to investigate the implementation of a new behavioral management system, Positive Behaviors Intervention and Support (PBIS), by the teaching staff in grades K-6 at a specific school. The aim of PBIS is to create a consistent set of behavior expectations across the entire campus, rather than just within…

The growing popularity of interpreting technology in the industry has raised awareness of incorporating it into interpreter education. However, it is unclear what factors may contribute to students' behavioral use and the consequent effects of using it. With the addition of three external factors (motivation, task-technology fit, and technology…
