Bullying, a complex phenomenon impacting virtually every school, can be damaging both in the short term and long term (Nansel et al., 2001; Solomontos-Kountouri et al., 2017; Wolke et al., 2013). About 20% of students aged 12 to 18 years old report having experienced bullying while 20-25% of college students report having experienced bullying…

Experiential learning requirements, such as internships and practicum, are common requirements in undergraduate sports management programs. These courses typically require the sports management student to complete a set number of hours while being guided by both their internship site supervisor and their faculty advisor.

The COVID-19 pandemic raised many challenges for faculty in higher education systems. The uncertainty, additional work, and burnout that faculty may have experienced early in the pandemic as they transitioned from in-person to online teaching may have led to some faculty leaving academia. The purpose of this study was to explore changes in faculty…

The first year of an employee's tenure at a company or institution is a pivotal time for them to determine whether that company or institution is a place where they want to continue working. This study presents a business case for a year-long orientation program that is rooted in Drago-Severson's (2008) four pillars of adult learning. The intended…

Mosston's spectrum of teaching styles can serve as a guide for teaching and research in physical education. It can also lead to increased academic learning time (ALT), physical activity time, critical thinking, time on task, and fun while participating in softball, especially in one softball variation known as Alaskan Rules Softball. This article…

Poor academic performance is known to be linked to the tendency to procrastinate. The latter is thought to reflect deficits in effort regulation and study time management (i.e. learning-related resources), but some recent results have suggested that it could stem from psychological inflexibility. The main objective of the present study was thus to…

Academic emotions of learners are important for academic achievement. For the online learning platform, it is of great value to gain insight into the academic emotion of the course in appropriate time interval from the platform. We crawled a large number of student comment texts from MOOC, and used deep learning algorithms (BERT models) to perform…

Having paraprofessional providers, such as youth mentors, deliver evidence-based services, has been posited to increase the reach of youth services given the affordability and ubiquity of mentors in school settings. Further, examinations of mentor-delivered Motivational Interviewing (MI) have shown promise in increasing youth mentees' academic…

Although there is a consensus regarding the positive effects of self-monitoring interventions on improving on-task behaviors of students with disabilities, the findings for maintenance and generalization have not been shown to be consistent across studies (i.e., Cook & Sayeski, 2020; Wood et al., 2002). The current study aimed to assess the…

COVID-19 has caused a shift in Extension educators' daily routines and a transition to virtual programming. This case study analyzed time logs and interview data of Extension educators hired by Utah State University to facilitate fatherhood education programming. Comparison data indicate less time was spent teaching and traveling while more time…

A growing body of research suggests that individual variation in young children's word comprehension (indexed by response times and accuracy) is structured and meaningful. In this paper, we assess how children's word comprehension correlates with three factors: socio-economic status (indexed by maternal education), lingual status (based on…

Although we pretend that only humans, or perhaps animals, can call to us, this essay takes seriously those familiar moments, spells of time, when we lose ourselves staring out into the ocean or down into campfires. In those moments, we are drawn by the flames, by the waves, into reveries. It is not just humans or animals or plants: we are drawn by…
