As elsewhere in the world, academic misconduct is a serious problem in Aotearoa. Yet, beyond the occasional newspaper headline, we know relatively little about the extent of the problem here or the factors associated with it. Consequently, our educational leaders and practitioners are left under-informed as they seek to address the problem and…

There is a need to provide evidence-based social, emotional, and behavioral interventions for learners at risk for emotional and behavioral problems. Evidence-based interventions for social and emotional success are especially necessary for Black learners with emotional or behavioral problems. In the current study, we used a multiple-baseline…

This research aimed to explore the effect of problem-based STEM activities on middle school students' perceptions related to problem-solving skills and their critical thinking tendencies. The sample consisted of 81 students. A mixed method was employed in the research. The quantitative data collection tools were the "Critical Thinking…

Social participation is a crucial condition for successful learning in inclusive primary schools. Unfortunately, students with non-compliant classroom behaviour are at risk of being socially excluded from their class. Recently, students' attitudes have been identified as the central indicator of the social participation of students with…

Much of the current literature focuses on how preservice teachers are prepared to support entire classrooms (i.e., classroom management) instead of individual students (i.e., behavior management). Because of this gap in the literature, little is known about how preservice elementary education teachers are prepared to support students who are…

This study examines the inviolable and admonitory norms for graduate teaching and mentorship in the Turkish higher education sector. Research data were gathered using a quantitative survey from 633 graduate students at 100 public and foundation higher education institutions (HEIs) in Turkey. The Graduate Teaching and Mentoring Behaviors Inventory…

This study explored how students develop and demonstrate resilience when prompted with mathematical problems. Anchored on the Three-Dimensional Resilience Theory in Mathematical Problem Solving, a multiple case study was conducted on thirteen (13) purposively selected students from a public senior high school in Davao City, Philippines.

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…

Due to the increased financial pressure--exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic--that students in higher education need to endure, considerable attention is being drawn towards the determinants of student financial anxiety. A conflicting picture has been captured about financial literacy, which has been shown to either be associated with better…

We draw on procedural justice, Latino Critical Legal Theory, and intersectional theoretical approaches to study how repeated punishments impact Latinx youth. In this qualitative study, we explore the effect of repeated school punishment on young people, referred to as the "Chronically Punished." Data revealed that "chronically…

Students display resistance, including academic dishonesty, at all educational levels. In the present study, we qualitatively examined the extent and incidence of academic misbehaviors by 101 US college students (M[subscript age] = 22.98 years, SD = 6.70). Using a combination of self-reported closed- and open-ended questions, we developed a…

Questionnaires in educational research assessing students' attitudes and beliefs are low-stakes for the students. As a consequence, students might not always consistently respond to a questionnaire scale but instead provide more random response patterns with no clear link to items' contents. We study inter-individual differences in students'…

Stimulating responsible conduct of research is considered important within universities and research organizations. In this contribution, we investigated if there are gender differences regarding three aspects: students' attitudes towards integrity related issues, self-reported misconduct, and suspicions of misconduct and willingness to report…

Previous studies have provided insights into classroom etiquette through research focused on observing small student groups, with no significant exploration, through survey research, of classroom etiquette in a large sample. The present study addresses this gap through a questionnaire measuring students' self-perceptions of classroom etiquette. A…

During Laura Kerbey's time teaching autistic children, she had a sudden realisation that those with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) are children like no other! None of her tried and tested autism strategies would work to help them focus or learn and most of her time was spent wondering, "what am I doing wrong?" If you feel the same,…
