The following study shows how reparameterizations and constraints of the general linear model can serve to parse quantitative and qualitative aspects of predictors. We demonstrate three different approaches. The study uses data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 on mathematics course-taking and achievement as an example. Results show…

Rural youths often feel compelled to leave their home communities to seek new opportunities, especially at the secondary-postsecondary educational transition. These decisions are driven in part by perceived developmental imperatives to leave rural regions given messages that success is best achieved elsewhere. The present study used the framework…

In this article, we give an overview of translational educational neuroscience (mind, brain, and education) in the United Kingdom. We consider the state of "translation," describing respectively the state of the dialogue between researchers and educators, the state of evaluation of approaches to improve educational outcomes, and the…

Facing the growing popularity of autonomous online learning, students require more agentic engagement (AE) to construct a supportive learning environment for themselves. Existing studies based on self-determination theory (SDT) state that teachers' motivating style can predict students' engagement, and students' competence beliefs can moderate the…

The relationship between family science capital and students' science career intentions has been widely discussed since the ASPIRES project initially proposed this linkage. Since science capital is more likely to be clustered in some social groups, the linkage between family science capital and their children's science aspirations may exacerbate…

As Machine Learning (ML) becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it is essential to teach ML to young people from an early age including also students from a low socioeconomic status (SES) background. Yet, despite emerging initiatives for ML instruction in K-12, there is limited information available on the learning of students from…

Many researchers have tried to understand why some learners engage in and others disengage from mathematics by exploring learners' mathematical identities. Significant others (i.e., teachers, peers and family members) offer learners' different opportunities for mathematical identity support, but no study has explored their collective role in…

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of collaboration between the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach and the problem-based learning (PBL) model in improving student learning outcomes at junior high school and senior high school levels. TaRL is a method that emphasizes learning tailored to students' individual ability levels, while…

The aim of this study was to develop a novel assessment tool utilizing Schlossberg's 4S model (Situation, Self, Support, and Strategies), with a specific focus on assessing the career transition of high school senior students to university. The study group consisted of high school students from five different high schools. The pilot and trial…

This study draws attention to the role of similarly educated parents in their children's university choice. We conceptualise, develop, and empirically test a model that links university choice with parents' intention to recommend the university and university brand preference that stems from their own experiences during the university evaluation…

This study investigated the developmental impact of teacher autonomy support on changes in students' mental well-being and academic stress throughout upper secondary school. The sample consisted of 1453 Norwegian students (baseline M[subscript age] = 17.00; 60.6% girls; 80.9% Norwegian-born). The unconditional latent growth curve model results…

Nationwide, Latinx students access dual enrollment (completing college coursework while still enrolled in high school) at lower rates than their white peers. Research on dual enrollment programs is limited and what does exist does not account for rural Latinx students' experiences. The purpose of this qualitative narrative inquiry was to…

The present study was conducted to determine how implementing computational thinking (via a proxy in AP Computer Science Principles) into a school's curriculum impacted student proficiency rates on the New York State Geometry Regents. Recent research has suggested that computational thinking is a skill that transcends specific content areas and…

This study explored the relationship between teachers' extrinsic and intrinsic factors that influence high school content teachers' motivation to address multilinguistic learners' (MLs) needs in a large urban school district. A sample size of 38 teachers completed a survey to correlate professional development (as examined through second language…

Explanation of natural phenomena at one level of biological organisation almost always involves causes that are found at other levels. Although scientists thinking across levels find it easy to explain physiological phenomena, students often perceive this as a challenge. We developed a new graphic organiser called Zoom Map, which is a mode for…
