This work aims at studying the anxiety and motivation levels of secondary school students towards science course depending on gender, class levels, and their parents' level of education. In addition, it was aimed to examine the relationship between students' anxiety, motivation, and academic achievement towards science course. The study relies on…

The aim of this study was to analyze the attainments of map literacy skills in the 2018 Social Studies course curriculum according to the learning areas and examine the applicability of the program. The research sought answers to the following questions: 1. How is the distribution of attainments related to map literacy skills in the 2018 Social…

In recent years, attention has turned to the development of evidenced-based learning progressions/trajectories as a means of identifying the likely paths learners might take in developing a deep, well-connected understanding of key aspects of mathematics. However, the extent to which this work influences what happens in mathematics classrooms…

Parental involvement plays a significant role in students' social and academic outcomes. Nevertheless, systemic ways of gathering parental views have not been used or highlighted in the policy arena or the literature. Using data from the first major statewide survey of parents in California, drawn from the California School Parent Survey (N =…

Many studies conducted in the last decades report that very few elementary-grades students understand the meaning of = in mathematics, and that upper-elementary students do not understand it any better than the lower-elementary students do. Using data from thousands of Florida elementary students, we show that students in Florida perform ten to…

Career and technical education (CTE) has long endured public scrutiny and bias, but unfortunately, the extent to which varying opinions have permeated secondary schools remains elusive. Therefore, this study examined secondary administrator, counselor, and subject-specific teacher opinions in three areas: (a) student secondary and postsecondary…

A key factor in supporting talent development among gifted students is the fostering of a growth mindset in their learning. However, there has been little research on the subject-specific mindsets of these students and their teachers. This study examined the mindsets of academically gifted Finnish upper-secondary students (N = 164) and Finnish…

The aim of this study was to determine sustainable learning levels of students. The study also attempted to determine sustainable learning levels of students based on gender and grade. The participants of the study consisted of 742 high school students (354 females and 388 males) in various high schools in Babaeski district of Kirklareli, Turkey…

This study established indicators for the development of scientific imagination (SI) via digital storytelling (DS) and developed and validated a scale for DS-based scientific imagination (DSSI) to understand how it develops in elementary school students. Two samples of fourth- to sixth-grade students in Taiwan participated in a development test,…

Students in public education are expected to attend school on a regular basis to learn. This study applied multiple linear regression models and binary logistic regression models to analyze the effect of risk of early chronic absence pattern on later math achievement by using student level longitudinal data. Results showed that students with small…

This paper focuses on the issue of mentor-mentee match for mentoring beginning teachers in elementary schools. While grade-level match is often an explicit goal of mentor assignment in many existing teacher mentoring programs, empirical evidence is limited regarding its effects on teachers' instructional practices. Data come from a large-scale…

The decision to close schools, reorganize, or consolidate districts is perhaps the most troubling and painful challenge a community can face (Flowers, 2010). The purpose of this study was to explore and provide a better understanding of the school district whole-grade sharing, reorganization, and/or consolidation phenomenon as seen through the…

We examined the relation of morphological awareness with language and literacy skills, namely phonological awareness, orthographic awareness, vocabulary, word reading, spelling, text reading fluency, and reading comprehension. We also examined potential moderators of the relations (grade level, orthographic depth of language, receptive vs.…

While helping students develop informed views about nature of scientific inquiry (VNOSI) has been emphasised in science education, little is known regarding students' current VNOSI at a certain grade level and whether there was evidence of higher attainment of VNOSI in students in higher grades as compared to lower grades? The purpose of this…

The literature on the association between reading comprehension and mathematics skills is complicated and conflicting. This study seeks to illuminate the nature of the association between mathematics skills and reading comprehension by incorporating potential moderators, namely components of mathematics skills, domains of content standards in…
