The study was a latent profile analysis of teacher classroom management styles. The data used were derived from a randomized control trial that examined the efficacy of the CHAMPS behavior management program on middle school teachers. There were 187 teachers in this study recruited from Midwestern schools. A latent profile analysis was conducted…

The racial/ethnic disparities and average declines in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) motivation during adolescence are worrisome. Although STEM motivational beliefs are theorized to function in conjunction with one another, the unique patterns and how they change over time for different racial/ethnic groups remain…

Purpose: Although several different learning technologies have been integrated into the face-to-face (F2F) learning approach, the effective implementation of mobile learning (m-learning) is still at an early stage. This may be due to the lack of understanding factors that affect learners' acceptance of m-learning. Design/methodology/approach:…

Scores from computer-based tests are increasingly used to inform a variety of school- and student-level decisions. An underlying assumption is that the associated scores represent effortful responding by each student with respect to the tasks presented. An innovative method for examining evidence for this assumption involves an examination of item…

Though understudied, academic structure reflects and shapes the central work--education, research, service--of higher education organizations (HEOs). Academic structure also shapes and illuminates the external environments and internal dynamics of HEOs. Despite the centrality of academic structure to HEOs and their work, our knowledge of it is…

In a world characterised by supercomplexity, in which higher education (HE) is in the grip of neoliberal market forces (Barnett, 2000), it is incumbent upon participants in this sector to ask; what does it mean to belong, and to what? 'Belonging' has become a buzzword used by institutions to seemingly demonstrate how they seek to include students…

Research into workplace learning explores mostly the learner's perspective, which is also the case within police research. This paper focuses, instead, on police officers who have the role of field-training officers (FTO) and responsibility for presenting, teaching and guiding police students attending the higher education programme. The aim is to…

A good command of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) among Czech engineers seems to be of crucial importance since the engineering field has been developing rapidly and the Czech labour market is becoming increasingly international (Eurostat 2020). The authors of this article, who supervise the ESP courses offered to the students of the Faculty…

Anchored upon a renewed rites of passage perspective, this study employs a narrative inquiry to understand how professional identities are enacted, developed, negotiated, and reconstructed among final year STEM undergraduates in Malaysia. While professional identities are largely studied within the workplace or organisational context, there is…

In the United States, recent research has indicated an increase in adolescent stress, and higher levels of stress are associated with a negative impact on the mental health of adolescents. However, there is currently limited research about effective interventions to target stress in adolescents, particularly within high-achieving high school…

This study investigated factors that are related to student success in using and learning from written corrective feedback (WCF). Focusing on learner affective variables and a student writing corpus collected over the span of a semester, different types of feedback and errors were investigated. Previous studies have focused on one or, at the most,…

The increase in the prevalence of autism to 1 in 44 children born in the U.S. (Maenner et al., 2021) coupled with the nation's growing immigrant population led to this study's investigation of the influence of homeland culture on lived experiences of five first-generation immigrant parents caring for children with autism. This empirical…

Alternative approaches to assessment in education (many of which are linked to inclusive and antiracist pedagogies) are gaining in popularity across the board, from PK--12 to higher education (Esquivel, 2021; St. Amour, 2020). One such antiracist assessment strategy is using labor-based grading contracts (LBGCs), popularized by Inoue (2019; see…

Previous research has linked demographic shifts in mental health issues among adolescents to a rise in personal expectations and a strong performance imperative, particularly within the educational system. This study aims to understand how early adolescents' experiences of school-related performance demands and their general well-being are…

This study aimed to explore factors related to academic success (resilience) for students with socioeconomic disadvantages (SED) from the individual, school, and family domains. We also compared such factors with the results for students with socioeconomic advantages (SEA). A sample of 1767 eighth-graders (851 students with SEA and 916 students…
