Results indicated that enjoyment and…

Academic emotions are not mutually exclusive, and students can experience various emotions simultaneously. We aimed at identifying distinct emotion profiles in mathematics in the lowest-ability tier in lower secondary school. Also, we investigated the patterns of change to students' mathematics emotion profiles in Grades 7 and 8, and whether an…

Understanding factors that influence k-12 students' Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) performance is essential to improving their problem-solving ability. Most studies have focused on the relationship between students' psychological factors and STEM performance and have paid little attention to the relationship between…

Due to the unintended impacts of out-of-school suspension that may occur to Black boys in middle school, all stakeholders, specifically school counselors, must fully comprehend how this type of discipline affects this population to better support them with best practices.
