Existing research has highlighted the key role of observation and reflection in teacher learning during lesson study interventions, and how challenging it can be for pre-service teachers. This study focuses on the post-lesson discussion phase and on the observation of the research lesson of a lesson study process. It is carried out with early…

Following the work of Tamatea and Pramitasari in the Bali Coding Class (2018), we ask if liberal empowerment can sit alongside Bourdieu's social reproduction theory in framing a non-formal education coding class for rural Balinese youth. While a review of critical theory informed literature suggests not, we appropriate the work of Mills to read…

This study explored the experiences of multiracial and multiethnic students at a Central Valley University in California, aiming to understand their engagement opportunities and support-seeking behaviors on campus. Employing a narrative inquiry approach, qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews, complemented by digital…

This study was situated at Mountain Middle School (Pseudonym). Students at Mountain Middle School often engage in collaborative compositions embedded within week-long multidisciplinary and multiage units of study called Odysseys. These units of study and the collaborative composition projects are classified as formal cooperative learning. Johnson…

Teacher attrition is a major challenge for public school districts across the country, especially in poor, urban and/or high needs schools. Sixty-one percent of school district superintendents identified teacher retention as a top concern. The majority of the teachers who leave are the new, well-prepared, successful teachers and the mid-career…

In this mixed-methods study, we seek to understand the impact of the California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET) on the makeup of the teacher pipeline. We are specifically interested in exploring how teachers of color are impacted by these tests when seeking to enter the teacher workforce. Findings from the data, both qualitative and…

Background: In recent years, the use of virtual reality (VR) environments for education has gained interest in research and education. However, little is known about the potential of social VR environments for collaborative learning. Objectives: This study explores pre-service teachers' (PSTs') collaborative learning and role-based drama activity,…

Various intervention usage is associated with positive outcomes for children with autism. However, the intensity of these interventions tends to be below recommendations, especially for minoritized children. This study aimed to examine how average weekly intervention hours among children vary by sociodemographic factors. Regression analyses were…

Purpose: Using structure-agency theory, this paper highlights how school and district leaders may use their discretion to reshape or reinforce pipeline structures to increase educator racial diversity or to maintain the racial status quo. We also consider how such efforts intersect with structural racism limiting the impact of positive efforts and…

Although the relationships between some antecedents (such as affective disorders and negative emotions) and short-form video addiction have been verified by previous studies, the association between negative cognitive bias and this addictive behavior has not been examined, and the underlying psychological mechanisms are still unclear. The present…

Leadership learning frequently overemphasizes teaching, while undervaluing how students acquire leadership knowledge, skills, and abilities (Barr & Tagg, 1995; Fink, 2013). This article discusses the value of grounding leadership learning processes in a framework unique to leadership learning (Guthrie & Jenkins, 2018). Specifically, we…

This study was focused on the factors that contribute to the high attrition rates in doctoral programs, particularly emphasizing the impact of online education on student persistence and completion rates. The primary intent of the research was to gain a deeper understanding of the various challenges that doctoral candidates faced and how they…

Discipline practices wield significant influence over the social dynamics within educational settings and profoundly impact students' ability to attain academic and social gains crucial for their success. The racialization of school discipline has been linked to negative effects on student's academic trajectories and life outcomes. Consequently,…

While decades of scholarship show the oppression of women by the enforcement of patriarchal gender norms, little research has explored the ways in which masculinity receives preferential treatment over femininity, independent of a man/woman binary. This exploration is needed to understand why femininity is devalued within the heteropatriarchal…

For too many community college students, transferring to a four-year institution for a bachelor's degree (i.e., vertical transfer) remains an unrealized aspiration. Prior research suggests that forms of capital can assist students in realizing their goals. Therefore, we sought to explore how relationships both within and outside of their…
