In this research work, an action procedure was developed that interferes with improving the cognitive and behavioral state in the classroom through all subjects in the face of disruptive behaviors. Although our research is based on the different intervention models developed in various behavioral and constructivist learning theories and their…

This study developed and evaluated the effectiveness of a character education management model based on a behavioral counseling approach in improving student character in high schools. Using a mixed approach that combined research and development (R&D) with quasi-experimental validation, this study involved 65 students from two high schools in…

In order to mitigate climate change, individuals need to make lifestyle changes that help reduce carbon emissions. As teachers play an important role in modeling pro-environmental behavior to their students, this study investigated whether there are some types of climate actions which pre-service teachers themselves are most reluctant to take. The…

This research aims to find out how to reduce cases of violence among elementary school students by uncovering solutions and their implementation. Currently, violence among students is rampant in Indonesia. The 2018 Program for International Student Assessment data show that students who report having experienced violence are above the average for…

For the purposes of the research, we developed a concept of structural reasons that we theoretically assume appear as typical structural reasons for violence in schools. With empirical research, we determined how primary school teachers recognise violent behaviour and how they execute moral education in the areas of the specific structural reasons…

Purpose: Educational research often provides insight into the potential best practices to use within the classroom setting. Yet, limited information is available on teachers' perspectives toward research in the field of adapted physical education (APE). The current study examined adapted physical educators' perceptions toward research. Method:…

In recent years, teacher retention rates have decreased, and student behavioral concerns have increased. This article presents if teachers who have favorable beliefs about the effectiveness of Character Education programs also have a greater satisfaction with their career. Based on the responses of 159 school teachers, a positive correlation was…

Introduction: Digital mental health interventions are on the rise; yet people with intellectual disabilities are not generally seen as their potential users. This study aims to explore the accessibility of two mainstream online mood-management programmes. Methods: Using a qualitative study design, 12 adults with intellectual disabilities were…

This quasi-experimental study used multiple data sources to examine Playworks implementation and outcomes across two school years (2014-15 and 2015-16) at six WCPSS elementary schools. Differences in outcomes between Playworks and matched-comparison schools were examined. Similar to other national studies (Beeker et al., 2012; Fortson et al.,…

This paper presents the results of a small preliminary investigation of the moral judgment of three children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) using case study research methodology to describe their moral orientations and explore how their reasoning patterns might affect the development of a cooperative moral orientation. Data were…

Behavioral trajectories during middle childhood are predictive of consequential outcomes later in life (e.g., substance abuse, violence). Social and emotional learning (SEL) programs are designed to promote trajectories that reflect both growth in positive behaviors and inhibited development of negative behaviors. The current study used growth…

A restorative approach to conflict is being increasingly applied in schools around the world. Existing evaluation evidence has tended to focus on the impact on quantifiable outcomes such as number of behaviour incidents and rates of attendance and exclusion. This case study aimed to broaden the evidence base to capture a richer picture of the…

This paper describes a study on examination room cheating during Lebanese Brevet and Baccalaureat examinations with a focus on "open cheating"--malpractices which are aided and abetted by examination invigilators. Findings suggest that the problem is widespread and is largely attributable to the empathy invigilators feel with candidates.…

The relationship between materialism and social-emotional behavioural difficulties (SEBDs) was assessed by comparing a sample of adolescents receiving in-school behavioural support with adolescents not receiving any support. All participants completed the Youth Materialism Scale and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Binary logistic…

The Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework, which uses a systems approach to promote school improvement and support all students in improving academics and behavior using data-based problem-solving, is a key part of the Wake County Public Schools System (WCPSS) Strategic Plan. As of 2017-18, MTSS schools were at the initial stages of MTSS…
