Background: Using Personal-Disclosure Mutual-Sharing (PDMS) with students transitioning to Higher Education (HE) has yet to be researched in education. Aims: In two studies, we aimed to explore the immediate effects of a Coping Oriented Personal-Disclosure Mutual-Sharing (COPDMS) intervention on first-year undergraduate students' relational and…

The current study examined the potential impact of trajectories of perceived stress and social support from parents, friends, romantic partners, and natural mentors (i.e., supportive adults from youths' everyday lives) throughout underrepresented students' college careers on their subsequent educational outcomes.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) provides a framework for creating…

Recent national reforms focus on learning disciplinary core ideas through engaging in science and engineering practices. These reforms also call for students and teachers to use crosscutting concepts (CCCs), or analytical lenses, that support scientific sensemaking and connections across disciplines. The "Framework for K-12 Science…

This study describes the process of forming a school-university partnership to support the professional growth of our pre-service teachers and the in-service teachers at one partner school district and improving middle school students' science learning amid the pandemic.

Flipgrid provides a medium for PETE students to embrace technology within the classroom setting. The goal of this research was to integrate Flipgrid into PETE courses at a mid-size university, reviewing changes in student skill performance, peer interaction/engagement, and cognitive development.
