Newcomer schools inherently frame students in terms of what they "lack"--namely, fluency in the English language. The purpose of this study, drawing on a six-month ethnography of 14 tenth grade students from Mexico, is to counter this deficit framing by exploring, using the additive framework of "community cultural wealth,"…

Classroom management is one the most pressing problems that teachers face--and studies show that the challenges are only increasing. If student behavior is not managed successfully, the learning environment may become so chaotic, unstructured, and ineffective that teachers cannot teach and students cannot learn. "The Big Book of Behavior…

Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 participated in a monthlong experiential program conducted at a residential camp. The children were deemed "at risk" due to one or more of the following concerns: poor academic performance, behavioral issues, and extremely low self-esteem. The program consisted of tutoring in social issues and academic…

This research aims to examine the effects of the knowledge gained in biology education on the daily habits of university students. Phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the research. Participants were selected through criterion sampling, including 12 students (6 females, 6 males) from a state university in…

Recent research on more comprehensive models of student learning in adaptive math learning software used an indicator of student reading ability to predict students' tendencies to engage in behaviors associated with so-called "gaming the system." Using data from Carnegie Learning's MATHia adaptive learning software, we replicate the…

The measurable effects of music in online learning remains a topic of extensive debate, largely due to inconsistent findings within existing literature. Many of these inconclusive results stem from research methodologies that focus on singular perspectives, often overlooking a balance between cognitive challenges and emotional benefits of…

Opportunities to respond (OTR) offer a useful approach to actively engage all students, including those with emotional and behavioral disorders, by enhancing their learning experiences and effectively reducing student problematic behavior due to lack of academic engagement. In this article, we discuss common challenges faced by teachers in…

Background: In 2023, the US state of Texas passed a bill on vaping in school -- House Bill 114 (HB 114) -- which took effect in Texas public schools on 1 September of that year. HB 114 mandates that any student caught vaping in school be placed on a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP). The efficacy of HB 114 may be contingent, at…

This study examines the growing issue of academic dishonesty in online assessments, a challenge intensified by the expansion of digital learning platforms. Specifically, it investigates the relationship between students' online engagement and their performance in online versus traditional paper-and-pencil tests. Employing a cross-sectional…

In this paper, we examine the impact of a change to federal financial aid policy that gave aided students increased access to course retaking. Prior to Fall 2011, students receiving federal financial aid could not count repeated coursework toward their full-time enrollment count, despite many universities rolling out course retaking and grade…

In 2025, National Literacy Trust wanted to increase their understanding of how generative AI tools might be beginning to influence what it means to be literate in the digital age. National Literacy Trust first asked children and young people about their awareness and use of generative AI platforms in their Annual Literacy Survey in early 2023,…

Using data extracted from the Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey of the 2019 National Household Education Surveys Program, this study used a series of linear probability models to examine the association between family-school relationships and exclusionary discipline. The sample included 15,360 U.S. families of K-12 non-homeschooled…

This study aims to determine the effect of the STEM-based learning model on collaboration skills and determine the effective contribution of the STEM-based learning model to collaboration skills in the chemistry subject of buffer solution material. This study uses a quantitative quasi-experimental study with a posttest only with control group…

Engaging students in learning activities is the main responsibility of teacher. The responsibility becomes more challenging when we approach the teaching and learning process through an online platform. Students at all levels, from elementary schools to graduate need to have some specific engagement arrangements in virtual or online platform for…

The study identified high school students' homework management profiles based on five strategies (environment, time, motivation, emotion, and distraction). It investigated the differences between profiles in terms of completion, time spent on homework, frequency, and academic achievement. The study was conducted with a sample of 860 high school…
