This study explored the mediating roles of interest in broad science topics (IBST) on the effects of students' perceptions of teachers' formative assessment on science achievement, using data from PISA 2015. We focused on 9,841 15-year-old students from Mainland (B-S-J-G) China. The results revealed that: (1) a classical suppression effect, where…

Reductive policies for teaching and defining reading largely ignore the assemblage of multiple factors and forces that impact one's engagement with text. In this paper, we attend to the complex layers of reader response among emergent multilingual elementary students while engaging with multiple modalities and genres of social justice texts. We…

Purpose: This qualitative study investigated the lived experience of school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who self-identify as overwhelmed. The goal was to devise a formal explanation of the reasons for such overwhelm. Method: Seven elementary and five secondary school SLPs in two separate focus groups discussed the following…

Perceived social-emotional competence (PSEC) refers to people's beliefs that they can be effective in their social-emotional interactions. This study examined teachers' PSEC in relation to their well-being and turnover intentions. Among 492 Australian teachers, results demonstrated that PSEC assessed at the start of a school term was associated…

This paper highlights an emergent form of gender inequality within schools, set against the backdrop of a perceived mental health "crisis" amongst young people in popular and media narratives. We present interview data collected in a qualitative study with students and staff in secondary schools in England. Through a Foucauldian analytic…

This study, based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model, examines how technological immersion, cultural novelty, and aesthetic complexity influence Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) students' learning feedback in contemporary Chinese mixed media art courses (specifically rice paper painting) through the mediating roles of…

Background: Socio-emotional learning is increasingly recognized as essential for student well-being and academic success. The RRRR methodology (Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships) integrates these principles into everyday teaching practice. Methods: A case study was conducted in three Czech schools during the 2022/2023 academic year:…

This study investigated concerns about potential racial/ethnic bias in the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP), a widely used observational assessment in early childhood education (ECE). Specifically, we examined whether the learning progressions (LPs) underlying the DRDP items exhibit differential applicability to children from…

This meta-analysis summarizes the available evidence on the effectiveness of student feedback interventions in primary and secondary schools on different aspects of teaching quality. It aims to examine indications of success conditions for an effective use of student feedback in practice. The analysis included 23 studies with 314 effect sizes. We…

This study examined the effectiveness of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) driven by real-time feedback in enhancing students' mathematical learning outcomes, as defined by the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes. Conducted within the domains of Measurement and Geometry, the study employed a randomized controlled trial involving 120…

Based on Sustainable Development Goals, a recent flurry of activity has begun concerning the responsibilities of teachers to support young children in recognising and responding to aspects of climate change. Less, however, is understood about the emotional impact of these interventions on children themselves, or the extent to which the way they…

Background: There are many ways to leverage support from friendships, and it is important for how students engage with learning in the classroom. Further, friendships are embedded within the larger classroom peer group, which might have different norms for prosocial or disruptive behaviour. Few studies have examined how friends support or deter…

This article explores into the search for a meaningful and joyful life by intertwining personal philosophy with a literary reflection on Neelima Dalmia Adhar's The Secret Diary of Kasturba. Through the lens of Kasturba Gandhi's inner world-a woman often shadowed by the larger-than-life presence of Mahatma Gandhi--it explores themes of emotional…

This study of 4th-grade students in Oregon found that higher self-efficacy is associated with higher mathematics summative test scores, consistent with prior research linking self-efficacy to math achievement. Two formative instructional practices--opportunities for math feedback and help, and opportunities for math discussion--positively…

Identifying the mental models held by students has been widely emphasized as being a pivotal aspect of effective science education. In fact, it allows us to understand students' conceptions, detect teaching-learning difficulties and tailor instruction accordingly. Hence, in this study, the plant nutrition mental models held by upper secondary…
