Murphy, Rick – Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties, 2022
A rising number of children are permanently excluded from school each year in England. Children's experiences of exclusion are underrepresented in the literature, effectively giving prominence to the views and interpretations of researchers. This qualitative study uses semi-structured interviews to explore the ways in which excluded children story…

Wendy M. Reinke; Keith C. Herman; Francis Huang; Chynna McCall; Shannon Holmes; Aaron Thompson; Sarah Owens – Grantee Submission, 2022
As many as 1 in 5 youth in the United States experience social, emotional, and behavioral problems. However, many students with mental health concerns are unidentified and do not receive adequate care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factor structure, measurement invariance, and the concurrent and predictive validity of the Early…

Snedker, Karen A.; Fredriks, Andria; Nye, Emily – Teaching Sociology, 2023
This teaching note describes the design and implementation of an undergraduate research team project to conduct a tent census. Previous studies highlight the importance of real-world research as a part of sociology curriculum. Tents, as a visible sign of homelessness, represent one such contemporary social problem. Our undergraduate research team…

Mason, Kevin; Schieffer, Steve; Rose, Tara; Matthias, Greg – Science Teacher, 2022
A problem-solving experiment is a learning activity that uses experimental design to solve an authentic problem. It combines two evidence-based teaching strategies: problem-based learning and inquiry-based learning. The use of problem-based learning and scientific inquiry as an effective pedagogical tool in the science classroom has been well…

Antosz, Patrycja; Szczepanska, Timo; Bouman, Loes; Polhill, J. Gareth; Jager, Wander – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Even though agent-based modelling is seen as committing to a mechanistic, generative type of causation, the methodology allows for representing many other types of causal explanations. Agent-based models are capable of "integrating" diverse causal relationships into coherent causal mechanisms. They mirror the crucial, multi-level…

Arsenault, Tessa L.; Powell, Sarah R. – Grantee Submission, 2022
Word-problem features such as text complexity, charts and graphs, position of the unknown, calculation complexity, irrelevant information, and schemas impact word-problem performance. We compared the word-problem performance of typically achieving (TA) students and students with mathematics difficulty (MD). First, we measured the word-problem…
