Early College High Schools (ECs) aim to increase postsecondary enrollment and degree attainment, specifically among historically minoritized populations. Research outlines the positive outcomes of ECs, yet less research examines the unintended consequences of these consolidated college preparation programs. Through interviews with 13 EC graduates,…

The teacher's job is to prepare learning plans, create modules, implement, assess, and evaluate. The fact that teachers don't have modules yet. As a result, the mean logarithmic learning outcome of 74.80 is below the standard of 75. It is urgent to research because there is a gap between theory, expectations, and reality. The aim is to produce a…

Bilingual teachers' willingness to communicate (WTC) in a second or foreign language (L2) plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of bilingual education. Most research on L2 WTC has focused on L2 learners and language teachers, leaving a considerable gap regarding L2 WTC among subject teachers. This study investigated bilingual subject teachers'…

Introduction: This article reports on experiences of teachers and learners with visual impairments (LVI) in inclusive high schools in the Kingdom of Eswatini. Methods: Qualitative research used face-to-face interviews, semi-structured questionnaires, document analysis and observation instruments for data collection. The study employed purposive…

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate how teachers are positioned within the narratives of other professional actors with regard to working with student health. This report addresses two main research questions: "How are teachers positioned by other professional actors in the context of working with student health?" and…

In science education, educators frequently encounter the challenges of inadequate resources, equipment, and pedagogical strategies when planning and executing science projects in classrooms. To address this pervasive issue, forty-one science teachers participated in a training workshop to acquire expertise using Arduino microcontrollers and…

Admissions officers practicing holistic admissions judge students' course taking based on what was available to them, yet how representatives learn about students' high school context and subsequently evaluate students' course rigor within it remains underexamined. Using signaling theory and effectively maintaining the inequality framework, we…

In this yearlong, naturalistic case study in a high school physics classroom, we examine the different dimensions of politicized care displayed by Sarah, an African American teacher teaching physics to working-class students of color traditionally underserved in science. Through extended field observations and a series of interviews with the…

Teachers occasionally express anger towards their students, and while some studies suggested it could enhance learning, others argued the opposite. We examined how teachers' anger affects junior high school students' learning performance. In Study 1, we surveyed 225 students using vignettes and discovered that when teachers displayed anger,…

Foreign language acquisition significantly hinges on competencies that inform both teaching and learning. Despite the multiple language policies and frameworks like the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), there exists a gap in empirical research on the implementation of language policies by local education authorities in…

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, science instruction in many countries, including Israel, shifted from face-to-face (F2F) instruction to distance learning (DL). DL made new professional demands on the teachers, who were largely unaccustomed to teaching in this environment. Using goal orientation theory and the TARGETS framework, this study…

Section 13 of Senate Bill No. 183 (SB 183) was enacted in 1989 by the Oklahoma Legislature to establish a program designed to evaluate the performance of individual schools and school districts in the state of Oklahoma. This program not only requires multiple types of evaluation by the Oklahoma State Department of Education (SDE), but also…

Background/Context: As college tuition continues to rise, financial barriers to higher education disproportionately impact low-income students. Over the last few decades, several states have instituted merit-based scholarships not only to increase college access but to create incentives for college readiness among high school students. The…

This article describes how schooling -- the oppressive, disciplinary force of much U.S. education -- is a lively actor, with the agency to change in response to efforts to resist it. Using an agential realist account, the article traces how humans, nonhumans, and discourses intra-act to shape the ongoing power of schooling. The posthumanist…

Underrepresented students who develop a positive science identity will continue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pathways. Educators can use culture to guide students toward STEM. Military-connected schools have the uniqueness of diversity and international locations and cultures. The problem is the low rate of enrollment…
