Associations between bullying involvement and academic and behavioral indicators among youth have been established in prior research. However, how perceptions of school climate might moderate the association between bullying participant behaviors (bullying perpetration, assisting, victimization, defending, outsider behavior) and academic and…

We explored the possibility that in order for longer-form expressions of reinforcement learning ("win-calmness, loss-restlessness") to manifest across tasks, they must first develop because of micro-transactions within tasks. We found no evidence of "win-calmness" or "loss-restlessness" when wins could not be…

Data on implementation of school-based interventions adds highly valuable information to corresponding evaluation studies. Measuring implementation outcomes, such as fidelity or acceptability, provides information on how to improve current and future implementation processes. Moreover, analyzing intervention outcomes in combination with…

Smart learning environments (SLEs) leverage technological developments to enable effective, engaging, and personalized learning. SLEs rely on sensor and advanced interconnectivity capabilities to infer and reason. A natural set of affordances for SLEs are those of multisensory environments (MSEs). MSEs enable humans to make full use of their…

The objectives of this research are (1) to study and synthesise the conceptual framework of the virtual learning environment model on cloud using hybrid learning, (2) to develop the virtual learning environment model on cloud using hybrid learning, and (3) to study the results after using the virtual learning environment model on cloud using…

Makerspaces are gaining popularity in the educational activities of all age groups, from primary schools to higher education institutions, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Due to makerspaces' hands-on learning approach, it is generally believed that learning in makerspaces influences students'…

Teachers experience verbal and physical aggression from a variety of aggressors in schools worldwide. However, most school violence and aggression research is focused on students, with few empirical studies examining teacher aggression from parent offenders. This study investigated the school ecology associated with teachers' experiences of…

This article presents a community of practice (CoP) designed to help California State University and California Community College STEM faculty implement active, equity-centered pedagogical changes. Using the Reading Apprenticeship framework as a foundation, the CoP focuses on text-based metacognitive conversations to facilitate students' authentic…

Students from all over the world now have the opportunity to access a wide variety of high-quality educational resources thanks to the rise of online learning. In recent years, there has been a rise in popularity of online education among both students and teachers. This pattern has only continued to increase with the occurrence of global events…

Leadership, trust, and collaboration are timeless constructs that have existed since the dawn of man. It is not surprising that these constructs permeate organizations and can have both advantageous and deleterious implications for organizational outcomes. One such organization where these constructs are arguably even more pertinent is in schools.…

Although research into gamification describes the pedagogy as contextual-based, there is minimal research into analyzing the context when implementing gamification. This research study aimed to examine how professional instructional designers experience analyzing higher education course rooms before implementing gamification into a higher…

This study is focusing on synthesizing the theoretical and designing framework of constructivist gamification environment models to enhance ill-structured problem solving in learning science. The research model used is based on model development (phase 1) proposed by Richey & Klein. This research consists of two phases as follow: (1) to…

While there is continuing research on instructional leadership, there are limited attempts from Eastern cultural societies and contexts where education is highly centralized. This paper explores instructional leadership in Iranian public primary schools, from the perspectives of successful principals. Through interviews with 26 participants, this…

Public education for children is one of the few institutions in which citizens have opportunities to access affordable information and tools needed to survive. These years of a person's life bear great weight on the stage that is set for them and for the society they will function in as adults. It is imperative that they receive this information…

In Education 4.0, a personalized learning process is expected, and that students are the protagonist. In this new education format, it is necessary to prepare students with the skills and competencies of the 21st-Century, such as teamwork, creativity, and autonomy. One of the ways to develop skills and competencies in students can be through block…
