The purpose of this paper is to present an integrated theoretical model of socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL), which is an elaboration of Efklides' Motivation and Affect in Self-Regulated Learning model that situates metacognition, affect, and motivation at the socially shared level. Building from existing theoretical and empirical…

Student Conduct Practitioners seek to be developmental in the application of every aspect of their disciplinary process. Students going through the disciplinary process may face a wide array of sanctions, including suspension. The reviewed literature suggests that suspension is not an effective sanction in the K-12 setting, but very little work…

Difficulties in academic achievement have been linked to adverse outcomes such as increased problem behavior and delays in development (Hinshaw, 1992). Early education should include training to self-monitor, as self-monitoring can improve academic performance and has a wide range of uses (Harris et al., 2005). Previous literature typically uses…

Given Wikipedia's breadth of coverage, social impact, and longevity as an impactful open knowledge resource, the encyclopedia has been the subject of considerable interdisciplinary research. Building on scholarship related to collaboration, authorship, ownership, and editing in Wikipedia, this study sought to better understand Wikipedians as…

Performance feedback has been identified as an evidence-based practice to improve teacher implementation fidelity. The efficacy of performance feedback might be enhanced with ancillary strategies such as goal setting. In this paper, we systematically reviewed 22 experimental studies in which a combination of goal setting and performance feedback…

Objective: Characterize college student COVID-19 behaviors and attitudes during the early pandemic. Participants: Students on two university campuses in Wisconsin. Methods: Surveys administered in September and November 2020. Results: Few students (3-19%) participated in most in-person activities during the semester, with eating at restaurants as…

How and what schools report as grades is important. Academics argue that traditional grading reduces teaching effectiveness and the accuracy of reporting (Marzano & Heflebower, 2011). Many education experts advocate for standards-based grading (SBG) as a research-based response (Link & Guskey, 2022; O'Connor, 2018; Townsley et al., 2019).…

The abusive "koach" has become an all too familiar issue at every level of sport. While sexual and physical abuses have justifiably received most of the notoriety, psychological abuse (PA) and emotional abuse (EA) by "koaches" are more common and often ignored, minimized, or excused 'as part of the game'. The purpose of this…

Even though the most prevalent category of disability served in the U.S. school system is specific learning disabilities (SLD), practitioners are often unfamiliar with the indicators associated with a specific LD such as dysgraphia and dyslexia. Misconceptions or an absence of understanding of the behavioral indicators related to dysgraphia and…

Self-management has been shown to be effective for increasing the on-task behaviors and decreasing the problem behaviors of students. However, little is known regarding the individual and combined effectiveness of the components of self-management. This study applied the logic of a component analysis to add the four major self-management…

Preschool students are expelled from educational settings at higher rates than any other students, and this may serve to be problematic across their lifespan. One of the primary reasons reported is due to their display of social behavioral problems within the preschool classroom. A historical review of social behavioral interventions for preschool…

Student disruptive behaviors have significantly interfered with teaching and have been a crucial challenge and concern for educators. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) has been adopted to combat the effects of student disruptive behaviors in several schools. However, research shows that most educators are often left out by the…

The purpose of this study was to examine whether seventh-grade positive peer affiliation and conduct problems mediated the relationship between sixth-grade parental monitoring of behavior and eighth-grade school participation and grades among students with elevated behavior ratings (EBR; n = 821) and students with unelevated behavior ratings (UBR;…

Behavior-specific praise (BSP) and other forms of positive feedback and public acknowledgment are underutilized in secondary classrooms. Surprisingly, few studies have evaluated the independent effects of BSP in these settings. Using a multiple baseline design with an embedded A/B/B + C condition sequence, the purpose of the current study was to…

One study has examined the month-to-month effectiveness of the daily report card (DRC) intervention for students with disruptive behavior, yet these findings have not been replicated. With a sample of 37 student-teacher dyads (Kindergarten-5th grade), we sought to replicate previous findings with an independent sample and advance the literature by…
