This paper reviews the literature to clarify the image of a student with a high level of well-being (WB) for a future systematic literature review and evidence-based interventions to promote student WB. It presents a holistic approach to the analysis of definitions, operationalisation and indicators with interpretative phenomenological analyses…

Aqueous solutions have proved to be a challenging topic for chemistry students at all levels. An understanding of what is happening at the molecular level in aqueous processes such as dissolution is key to understanding the macroscopic properties of the system as well as to communicating fluently with chemical symbols. In this study, we examined…

Calls for evidence-based practice are pervasive. In response, extensive scholarship has employed four categories of research use--instrumental, symbolic, conceptual, and imposed--to examine how research is used in schools and districts. We draw on sociocultural learning theory and empirical data from one school district to newly theorize latent…

Over the past several months, public schools across the United States have experienced a surge of migrant students. This sudden influx of these students has caught many schools and teachers off-guard as they struggle to find and pull together available resources to meet the newcomers' needs. Although the U.S. has a long history of receiving…

Objective: The precise measurement of treatment fidelity (quantity and quality in the delivery of treatment strategies in an intervention) is essential for intervention development, evaluation, and implementation. Various informants are used in fidelity assessment (e.g., observers, practitioners [clinicians, teachers], clients), but these…

Concussions and their impact on athletes are a major concern within the realm of strength and conditioning. This article delves into the significance of concussions, exploring their implications for athletes, coaches, and strength and conditioning professionals. Emphasizing the necessity of evidence-based practices in concussion management and…

In recent years awareness of the importance of executive function (EF) skills for students' academic growth has increased. Research suggests that experience in school promotes EF development; however, recommendations regarding evidence-based practices that educators can use to support EF in their classrooms are limited. Here we outline two main…

In this article, the authors focus on five instructional approaches with a strong evidence base for the teaching and learning of math: (a) plan, model, and practice: systematic and explicit instruction; (b) focus on the language of math; (c) use multiple representations, including number lines; (d) build fluency; and (e) provide word problem…

As centers for teaching and learning (CTL) expand in the United States, so, too, does the need and desire for those of us working in the field of educational development to provide evidence of the impact of our work. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our CTL and eCampus Center, like many faculty support units across the country, developed and…

Geography teacher candidates need to build a pro-environmental attitude to solve critical land issues through the construction of appropriate research-based solutions. This study aimed to determine the effect of research-based learning conservation on the pro-environmental attitudes of geography teacher candidates toward the preservation of Meru…

Objective: This manuscript describes an evidence-based, student-led, single-session group intervention to support emotional wellbeing among graduate students. The present objective is to provide a roadmap for other universities. Participants: Key participants include clinical psychology graduate students (leader and workshop facilitators), faculty…

Instructional coaching has long been a crucial component of professional development in schools. However, without a clear framework, its true potential often goes unrealized. "Coaching for Impact" bridges this gap by providing a research-supported, practical guide that enhances the effectiveness of coaching programs while helping coaches…

Millions of young children attend childcare settings in the United States and the quality of these early childhood settings, such as the activities children engage in and how teachers interact with children, matter for children's development. This study was designed to test the impacts of a tech-enabled observation and feedback system focused on…

How can research and initial teacher education institutions become active drivers of evidence-informed policy and practice? Drawing on new data from the OECD's 2023 Survey of Knowledge Mobilisation and international research, this paper offers considerations and inspiring examples on how to strengthen the role of research and initial teacher…

David Hargreaves' 1996 vision for a research-based teaching profession aimed to integrate robust, evidence-based approaches into educational practice and policy. This critical evaluation examines the extent to which his vision has been realised. In his inaugural lecture for the Teacher Training Agency (TTA), Hargreaves' proposed a profession where…
