Artificial intelligence (AI) education in kindergarten through high school (K-12) is advancing in many countries, including the United States. The purpose of this research has been to better understand the impact of participation in an AI course on the sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students' overall interest, career interest in AI, and…

Background/purpose: This study examines the effectiveness of Jordan's National Program for Remedial Interventions (NPRI) in mathematics, launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, by analyzing its implementation mechanisms, remedial content, and impact on student performance from the perspective of mathematics teachers. Materials/methods: The…

This study explored using video self-analysis as a practice to help teachers identify effective problem-based learning (PBL) instruction and identify areas for their professional growth. Five seventh-grade teachers in the United States who varied in age, gender, ethnicity, and years of experience video-recorded their PBL instruction. Teachers then…

Mathematics, by nature, has a spiral structure. The fact that the students fail to acquire an achievement in the mathematics course negatively affects other achievements. Therefore, students' mathematics failure continues exponentially. In this context, it is important to identify and eliminate students' weaknesses, if any, with the formative…

We provide evidence from a randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of a novel, 100-percent online math tutoring program, targeted at secondary school students from highly disadvantaged neighborhoods. The intensive, eight-week-long program was delivered by qualified math teachers in groups of two students during after-school hours. The…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the flipped learning model (Staker & Horn, 2012), which is one of the types of rotation model in the sub-level of blended learning models, on students' understanding of the nature of science and their achievements. In the study, the mixed research method, which allows the quantitative and…

The current study investigated how prior knowledge moderated the effects of three educational technologies ("From Here to There," "DragonBox 12+," and problem sets in "ASSISTments") on seventh-grade students' later algebraic knowledge. Pretest scores only moderated effects of "From Here to There," with…

This study sought to examine the effectiveness of math problem solving interventions with self-regulated learning (SRL) components on the math problem-solving performance of middle school students with disabilities. A meta-analysis was conducted of all single-case design studies meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria between 2000-2021, resulting in…

With large-scale wicked problems threatening our world, the integration of sustainability into teacher professional learning is systemically lacking in the United States. The purpose of this case study was to understand the impact of a multi-session, sustainability-related professional learning program on twelve PreKindergarten-8th grade educators…

Best practice suggests that curricular decisions be made on the evidence base of the content and the contextual fit of the curriculum to the school setting, and with coaching to help teachers effectively use curricula. Messages from the federal government encourage school administrators and researchers to consider the costs of a program. The…

Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent psychopathologies in Western adolescents and have been on the rise in recent years. Not only does anxiety disrupt the daily lives of the young people who suffer from it, it can also have harmful behavioral, psychological, social, and academic effects. Given this, there is a pressing need to implement…

The Sexual Health And Peer Education (SHAPE) program implemented in middle schools in Oklahoma County utilizes a hybrid adult and peer educator model to deliver sexual health programming. While peer educators have been incorporated into school-based sexual health programs in the past, this program is unique in its approach to preparing and…

Background: To combat stereotype threat, several school-based field trials have leveraged self-affirmation theory (Steele & Liu, 1983; Liu & Steele, 1986), wherein affirming one's important beliefs and values can buffer against identity threats. Self-affirmation theory posits that individuals are motivated to maintain a positive overall…

Context: The use of educational technology for improving K-12 math education has expanded dramatically recently. ASSISTments (Heffernan & Heffernan, 2014), a widely used digital platform, has seen its use in schools increase significantly from 800 to 20,000 teachers over the past two years. A review of evidence-based online programs by the…

We report findings from a 40 middle school randomized controlled trial of an adapted version of Coping Power (Lochman & Wells, 2002a) for middle schoolers, called the Early Adolescent Coping Power (EACP) Program (Bradshaw et al., 2019) to determine the impact of EACP on adolescents' mental health outcomes, as indicated by student self-reported…
