Purpose: Drawing on relevant literature, we conceptualize three pathways through which responsiveness to student voice may promote academic goals. Then, we analyze panel data of students in the Chicago Public Schools to examine this relationship. We focus on the "responsiveness" of teachers and administrators to student voice, because…

In this study, it was aimed to examine the critical thinking dispositions of ninth grade students studying in science high schools in terms of various variables. The sample of the research consists of 98 students studying in the ninth grade of a science high school located in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey. The UF/EMI Critical Thinking…

A growing body of research suggests that utility-value interventions can promote students' academic motivation and achievement. Moreover, there is evidence that minimal interventions are particularly useful for ethnic minority and first-generation students at college. Whether this is also the case with high school students belonging to minorities…

As imperceptible as it is, mathematics is fundamental and is present on several occasions in our daily lives, but among 65 countries Brazil still ranks 53rd in education. The lack of investment in primary education has affected students learning since the early years. From this perspective, this paper proposed to verify teaching/learning in…

Many school change efforts aim to foster conditions for the development of students' twenty-first century skills in an equitable and comprehensive way, but methods to measure the frequency and quality of opportunities that students receive in school are lacking. In this study, we describe the design, testing, and initial evaluation of a…

Background: Transferring schools frequently happens across the United States from kindergarten to college. While student mobility studies have focused more on elementary and middle school grades, research at the high school level is limited. In addition, studies on transfer during high school related to postsecondary education are even more…

The study aimed to assess the impact of the KWDL technique on the learning achievement of grade 9 students in quadratic function and their satisfaction with this instructional approach. Forty-four ninth-grade students from a Thai public secondary school participated, recruited by cluster random selection. The instruments comprised a KWDL learning…

Pupils' subject choices at the level of secondary education critically determine the tertiary fields of study that they can pursue. This study used multinomial logistic regression models to investigate the extent to which the final report card grades of ninth-grade students predicted their choices of subject combinations at the senior general…

The psychological state of interest depends, among other factors, on the individual's prior interest as well as on the situationally perceived need satisfaction for relatedness, competence, and autonomy. Regarding out-of-school learning in biology education, the extent to which this is equally true remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to…

This study investigated the effectiveness of TikTok videos in enhancing Grade 9 Technology learners' understanding of food processing. Grounded in constructivist theory, the research employed a mixed-method approach using a Concurrent Embedded Design. A total of 120 learners were sampled from three schools within the Lebowakgomo Circuit, Limpopo,…

Enhancing the effectiveness of short-duration teacher workshops is critical for improving science teaching and learning, particularly in the developing world. While project-based learning is known to enhance knowledge usability, its feasibility and optimal design within short-duration teacher workshops in the developing world is unclear. This…

This study aims to investigate the impact of using the flipped classroom strategy on motivation and academic achievement in learning science among 9th-grade students Proved as an innovative technique, flipped learning improves academic performance, enhances students' motivation, supports independent learning, triggers higher thinking skills, and…

Strengthening lower secondary students' attitudes toward mathematics is key to addressing declining enrolments in higher-level courses. This mixed-methods study examined the alignment between students' perceived mathematics capability and study intentions, as well as demographic and attitudinal differences. Results suggest that students with…

This study aimed to investigate the contribution of teacher support and parental monitoring to academic performance over three years, testing the mediating role of self-determined motivation and academic self-efficacy and establishing whether the role of teachers and parents varies over time. A total of 419 adolescents--201 males (48%) and 218…

Prior research has shown that brief motivation interventions, such as interventions targeting students' perceptions concerning relevance of the learning material, can have long-lasting effects on students' motivation and performance. However, the educational contexts in which these interventions have been implemented have their own motivational…
