School-based day treatment is an intensive mental health service for children with social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. Research on day treatment is scarce and descriptions of program models are lacking. We used stimulated recall interviews to explore the moment-to-moment processes and strategies of classroom staff in a day treatment…

Despite research on peer dynamics in mainstream classrooms and in mental health interventions, investigations of peer dynamics in self-contained classrooms for students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are limited. This study examined the influence of classroom behavior norms on individual behavior in a school for students with…

Introduction: Classroom incivility is low-level antisocial behavior that disrupts the overall learning environment. It is an important behavior to be studied in adolescence, given its associations with other antisocial behavior (e.g., bullying), negative impact on the learning environment, and predicting later aggressive behavior. The current…

Current research has established that inclusive schooling alone cannot ensure the social participation of all children -- a central goal of inclusive education. Therefore, this study examines whether the participation of students is dependant on the type of difficulty they experience (learning vs. behavioural) and the degree of class cohesion.…

Classroom observation is a critical tool for evaluating instructional strategies and their impact on student learning outcomes. This study investigates how implementing systematic problem-solving strategies affects teaching practices, classroom dynamics, and student engagement in Rwandan secondary school physics classrooms. A quasi-experimental…

The purpose of this descriptive study was to highlight the experiences of 11 child care providers whose classrooms included preschoolers who engaged in persistent challenging behavior, thus expanding the limited literature on this topic. This qualitative study included two interviews with each provider. The results center around the effect of…

This case study aimed to investigate teachers' reflections on the transfer of makerspace activities into classrooms. Primary and secondary STEM teachers participated in a Continuous Professional Development programme about makerspaces. Data were collected in the form of written reflections and semi-structured interviews after the teachers…

Young children with early emotional, behavioral, and regulatory problems are at risk for long-term behavioral and academic challenges. This study examined the associations between O-classroom quality (i.e. emotional, organizational, and instructional supports) and problem behavior in six-year-old children who attend preschool. A correlation study…

Addressing and managing the disruptive behavior of students is a major classroom management concern for teachers. These concerns become even more important when, in addition to normal classroom disruptions, teachers must also address the behaviors of students' at risk for emotional and behavioral difficulties. Although ample bodies of…

Imitated misbehaviours as a prevalent form of interaction between children often disrupt their classroom experiences. Teachers, being the authority figure in the classroom, are expected to manage imitated misbehaviours and create a classroom climate that can positively influence the children. In line with this, this study analyses the conceptions…

Mathematical problem-posing (MPP) offers an alternative to teacher-directed approaches by encouraging students to create and solve their own problems. While MPP is supported by the Australian Curriculum and empirical research has increased over the last decade, implementation in classrooms is still limited. Using The Theory of Practice…

In this study, critical situations relating to students with emotional and behavioral problems in inclusive German secondary schools were analyzed. The objective was to identify behaviors and behavioral patterns that impede or even terminate the inclusive education of students with emotional and behavioral disorders. Critical situations, their…

The effectiveness of group problem-solving in mathematics depends on the extent to which meaningful participation is distributed across all group members. One way to explore how participation is distributed within groups is by examining how students are positioned within group interactions. In this study, we explore the social instructional…

The philosophy for information system (IS)-related projects, such as artificial intelligence (AI) projects, embodies systematic and scientific approaches, that encompass the development, use, and applications of IS by focusing on the interactions among individuals, organizations, and society. However, many organizations still need to learn more…

This study explores problem solving practices in a gifted and talented mathematics classroom in response to the calls for investigating problem solving as a sociocultural cultural activity rather than a cognitive activity of individuals. Therefore, we used a socio-mathematical norm perspective for our investigation. Data consists of forty-three…
