Understanding and addressing the literacy needs of middle school students is critical in ensuring their academic success. This quantitative study examines the literacy growth among middle school students participating in Tier II Response to Intervention and Instruction (RTI[superscript 2]) programs over the 2023-2024 academic year. It investigates…

New teachers are often assigned an experienced teacher who will serve as a mentor that will work with them during the first year of their initial teaching certificate. Although this is a common practice among states, not much guidance exists of what this mentoring should include or what strategies are the most effective. This study was designed to…

The results of the empirical stage statistically proved that phototherapy is one of the effective tools of psycho-pedagogical assistance to adolescents who experience difficulties associated with emotional identification. We diagnosed the level of formation of this phenomenon within the sample of 240 respondents who are university and school…

Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and multimodal learning analytics (MMLA) have allowed for new and creative ways of leveraging AI to support K12 students' collaborative learning in STEM+C domains. To date, there is little evidence of AI methods supporting students' collaboration in complex, open-ended environments. AI…

This study aimed to assess and compare the development of mathematical procedures on the part of Grade 7 students using an intelligent tutoring system on a digital platform. The sample comprised 96 students from Khon Kaen University Demonstration School, Thailand, divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group worked…

While video feedback is a commonly used intervention in both professional and educational sports settings, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of training with augmented video feedback in physical education at the K12 level is quite scarce. For this reason, this study aims to investigate the effect of the training with augmented video feedback…

Chronic stress among educators is associated with burnout, absenteeism, and turnover. Identification of the contributors to educator stress is critical to guide prevention and intervention efforts. However, despite stress being conceptualized as a complex and dynamic process, the literature has generally focused on cross-sectional studies with…

This study examined the effectiveness of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) driven by real-time feedback in enhancing students' mathematical learning outcomes, as defined by the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes. Conducted within the domains of Measurement and Geometry, the study employed a randomized controlled trial involving 120…

The effectiveness of written corrective feedback, WCF, has been much disputed even till the present day. Various strategies of WCF are still being developing with the aim to enhance students' writing performance especially in the English language. Coded corrective feedback, CCF, is classified as an indirect WCF method, and the studies of CCF are…

Social-emotional learning (SEL) initiatives can have a positive effect on students' emotions and well-being. However, SEL in ESOL classrooms remains underexplored. This article reports on a qualitative study which investigated ESOL learners' perceptions of the effectiveness of SEL strategies in terms of their emotions and well-being. The study…

Background: Promoting engagement and motivation in early engineering experiences is important for fostering interest and retention in engineering. One method that has been effective for doing so is facilitating transformative experiences (TEs), which occurs when students apply academic content to everyday experience. Our goal was to explore the…

Background: Critical thinking is one of the 21st Century competencies for students. While previous research acknowledges the potential of peer feedback to enhance critical thinking skills, particularly within computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments, there is limited understanding of which specific aspects of critical thinking…

The purpose of this study was to examine how to restore a child's social-emotional well being. As an administrator in a middle school, I have the opportunity to see the natural state that our children are in on a daily basis. I have observed over time, more specifically since COVID-19, that children are struggling to balance their emotions, their…

A comprehensive understanding of why feedback benefits some students and not others is still lacking. We performed latent profile analysis of students' receptivity to instructional feedback (RIF) in a sample of 1800 secondary school students from Germany (age: M = 16.37, SD = 1.47). We described RIF profiles, predicted profile membership using…

This quantitative study examined the impact of the use of Response to Intervention (RTI) on student performance at a small rural high school. The strength of RTI is the identification of student need and the weakness is the lack of consistent application of interventions. The problem this study addressed was low student performance as defined by…
