Culturally sustaining pedagogy (CSP) considers the impacts of schools on communities, explicitly calling upon schools to sustain the cultural modalities of communities of color (Paris, 2012). In this paper, we argue that one important influence schools should have on families is the awareness and knowledge that families' culture are sustained and…

This action research aimed to assess the impact of online homework, delivered via IXL, on thirteen 8th Grade Mathematics students' mathematical proficiency and explored their perceptions of its usefulness. The Cedar Hill Middle School students typically scored below state and national averages in mathematics, necessitating increased rigor and…

Homework is a self-regulated activity that constitutes a large proportion of learning time. In mathematics, how long is the optimal homework time for achievement development and how to improve homework time efficiency have long been questions. The study examined how mathematics homework time was related to mathematics achievement among Chinese…

The benefits of recreational reading for academic success are clear. However, the full potential of recreational reading for socialisation and well-being remains untapped by young readers. Studies of young readers' recreational reading intentions and perceived barriers to translating intentions into reading are scarce. Deaf and hard-of-hearing…

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…

The study aims to explore the connection between diverse homework help sources, children's well-being, and gratitude levels. We recruited 295 children in India (ages 7 to below 18) via snowball sampling for an online survey assessing homework help, gratitude and wellbeing. We found a positive association between using multiple sources for homework…

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…

Last year educators nationwide met the challenges of hybrid teaching and intensive block scheduling and gained a deeper understanding of the extensive inequities that so many communities face. Educators and students alike were asked to completely rethink schooling as the pandemic laid bare a fundamental question: What should education look like in…

Undergraduate courses on small-group communication often cover group roles, group conflict, and conflict management styles. Although these concepts are valuable to learn, merely memorizing them does not address the practical skills students need to employ conflict management strategies when situated in group conflict. This activity provides a…

This is a longitudinal study to investigate whether there is a correlation between the methods for completion of homework and the incentive levels with academic achievement. The method adopted in this study is the t-test statistical analysis to assess the relationship between the use of compulsory homework on achievement and the influence of…

Although postsecondary students' rate of academic dishonesty has been consistent over the last 50 years, the most significant increase in cheating has been in unpermitted collaboration. Given the changing learning environments necessitated by COVID-19, this study investigates how 12 college students at a highly selective Research 1 institution…

Length of the Unused Bed (LUB) methods for scaling sorbers have confusing and complicated pedagogically elements. One method limits feeds to C/C[subscript F] < 0.3; a limitation not stated in the established textbooks. Discussed is a new LUB method with no limitation on the feed C/C[subscript F]. It fixes the pedagogically confusing and…

This case study examines how online mathematics homework impacts student learning, attitude, and efficacy in a college Calculus I class. This research is important because it provides data on student perceptions for how to effectively implement online homework. Participants for this study completed homework using a blend of online and paper…

Interactive web-based applets have proven effective in teaching statistics. This article presents new implementations of web-based applets primarily targeting a traditional introductory statistics course in two particular areas: (a) using real-time response data to engage students in simulations and (b) generating randomized datasets for…

Studies across a variety of educational fields have shown the efficacy of feedback on student performance and learning. Web-based homework is a common feature of secondary and collegiate mathematics courses to provide such feedback. While web-based homework provides often instantaneous feedback to students as they complete assignments, the…
