This paper examines challenges faced by novice school principals in Somalia using quantitative research. The International Study of Principal Preparation (ISPP) survey was employed with a sample of 181 principals serving for a maximum of three years. Data were collected from primary and secondary schools in Mogadishu and the Puntland region.…

The present study provides a "breadth" and "depth" perspective of the current landscape for school suicide prevention (SSP). Despite an increase in SSP programming, practices, and policy, there remains a gap in understanding of how widely these activities are disseminated and implemented. Additionally, there is a lack of…

Writing apprehension is an overwhelming feeling of stress and anxiety when writing in a foreign language. In the past ten years, it has been a hot topic of debate. Due to its influence on writing quality, this study aimed to investigate this topic among a group of university EFL students, measuring the level of this apprehension and identifying…

Although antecedents of teacher identity have been well investigated over decades, the role of demographic variables in teacher identity variance has received relatively little research attention. The study explored how teacher identity (grounded in a four-indicator model comprising occupational commitment, teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction,…

The three inclusive schools in West Sumatra Province, which were formed in 2002, is proof that Indonesia has implemented an inclusive education system. Until now, the benchmark for the success of implementation in East Java has not been measured. The method that can be done is to measure teacher attitudes toward inclusive education. In this study,…

The presence of bullying and cyberbullying in Pakistani primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions has been widely studied. The detrimental effects of these forms of aggression on students' physical, mental, and emotional well-being have been extensively documented. However, there is little literature describing how teachers in their…

Many scholars have been using geospatial technologies (GST) to improve students' learning outcomes in the Web 2.0 age. However, many studies focus on the effectiveness of GST on cognitive domain of learning outcomes, which poses challenges to GST efficacy evaluation. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of GST on students' learning…

This research aimed to investigate the perceptions of pre-service teachers regarding renewable energy sources (RES), their tendency to use renewable energy, their opinions about the future use of such sources, and to determine whether they possess fundamental knowledge about renewable energy sources. To this end, the Renewable Energy Perception…

This systematic review examines the pedagogical gap of how VFTs are adopted and integrated in K-12 classroom teaching and learning. Specifically, it focuses on the grade levels and subject areas, learning outcomes and pedagogical activities involved VFTs at elementary and secondary levels. The results of this review show the current usage of VFTs…

We propose some generalizations of the classical Division Algorithm for polynomials over coefficient rings (possibly non-commutative). These results provide a generalization of the Remainder Theorem that allows calculating the remainder without using the long division method, even if the divisor has degree greater than one. As a consequence we…

This study explored the relationship between domains of parental involvement and students' academic achievement in elementary, middle, and high schools. The participants were 121,635 students in China. Results from multilevel linear models indicated that the relationships between domains of parental involvement and students' academic achievement…

Division is an essential skill for math fluency and achievement in higher-order math skills. Using a partial quotients algorithm is one way to support a student's ability to develop both conceptual and computational knowledge of long division. We used the self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) framework to develop lesson plans and a mnemonic…

This work seeks to understand the emergent nature of mathematical activity mediated by learners' engagement with multiple artifacts. We explored the problem solving of two learners as they aimed to make sense of fraction division by coordinating meanings across two artifacts, one being a physical manipulative and the other a written expression of…

Speech-language pathologists use critical thinking on a daily basis to identify, evaluate, and implement evidence-based practices with their clients. Currently, however, there are minimal data describing the critical thinking of undergraduate students in the field of communication sciences and disorders. Without these data, it is unclear if and…

Physical restraint is an emergency procedure restricting the movement of an individual and is used in events where students pose an imminent threat of physical harm to themselves or others. Students with disabilities are subjected to these procedures seven times more than typically developing students. Over the past decade, there has been…
