In recent years, cyberbullying on social media sites has increased among adolescents and even adults. While there are many factors and forms of cyberbullying, schoolchildren are vulnerable groups that are exposed to cyberbullying threats to their mental and emotional health. On the other hand, teachers have the responsibility in the place of the…

Whether students benefit from written corrective feedback (WCF) may depend on their level of engagement with the feedback. To date, student engagement with written corrective feedback has been investigated qualitatively. However, the association between student engagement with feedback and learning outcomes that result from that engagement has not…

This study examines the link between inhibitory control skills (the ability to plan and suppress an inappropriate action in favour of a goal-oriented reaction) and the sense of self-efficacy (both social and emotional), and mathematics achievements in students with learning disabilities. In this study, 60 sixth-grade students with learning…

The emergence of e-literature -- texts created on and for digital devices -- has coincided with innovative, transgressive methods of storytelling. "Pry," an iOS-based text, exemplifies e-literature's potential to rethink traditional narrative conventions. Rather than depict the real-world as we experience it (i.e. mimesis),…

To identify clicker questions likely to provoke rich and engaging student discussions, we recorded the percentage of the class voting on each option on every clicker question used throughout each semester, encompassing nineteen sections of introductory statistics, taught by three instructors. Working from the hypothesis that seeing student votes…

Pupils' experiences of four music pieces were compared regarding two didactical approaches to music listening in Croatian schools: the predominantly cognitively oriented standard (STA), and the experimental cognitive-emotional (CEA). The research comprised 557 pupils, 10 and 11 years old. After the initial listening to a music piece pupils mostly…

End-of-course evaluations are a central part of the accountability system at American universities. They are used formatively to evaluate the way courses are delivered and the effectiveness of teaching practices. Therefore, institutions may use these instruments to make course changes or tenure and promotion decisions. The purpose of this research…

This report focuses on redesigning classrooms to facilitate teaching, alleviate problems, and promote good learning and healthy development. Primary concerns are to prevent and respond quickly to learning, behavior, and emotional problems and reengage students who have become disengaged from learning at school. A key facet of the redesign is…

Most American colleges and universities assimilate students into highly competitive undergraduate experiences. By placing achievement for personal and material gain as the bedrock of a college education, these institutions fail to educate students to become collaborative learners: people who are committed and prepared to join with others in…

The No Child Left Behind Act, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and the Race to the Top Initiative increased pressure to support academically below grade level students. Schools with large academically below grade-level students often have large Response to Intervention (RTI) groups. Large group sizes present challenges for high-quality…

This convergent mixed methods study sought to explore the effects of engineering design challenges (EDCs) on middle school students' achievement. Data was collected from four middle schools from an urban school district in Maryland. Two of these, Group A, included teachers with experience with EDC design and implementation; the other two schools,…

This study explored the experiences of Black Queer women working in higher education and how these women navigated the challenges associated with their multiple marginalized identities. This study further highlights the impact of these challenges on these women as marginalized employees, as well as their recommendations for higher education…

Prompting students to generate constructed responses as they read provides a window into the processes and strategies that they use to make sense of complex text. In this study, Markov models examined the extent to which: (1) patterns of strategies; and (2) strategy combinations could be used to inform computational models of students' text…

In this study we explore how the physical movements teachers use can lead to improved interactions between students in a university language course. The study used video to capture and analyse an intervention focusing on the effects of teacher nodding. Results showed that positive measurable differences were found in students' physical postural…
