This study examined how children's moral reasoning in response to intergroup exclusion scenarios relates to inclusive attitudes and behaviors. A sample of 528 students (M[subscript age] = 9.19, SD = 0.90; 264 girls) in third through fifth grade participated in the "Developing Inclusive Youth" (DIY) program, which provided structured…

Research with girls in marginalized contexts points to the critical need for sustained, collective, and coordinated efforts to address the root causes of oppression and exclusion at multiple levels, shift social norms and power dynamics, and expand girls' ability to more fully exercise agency in their lives and in their communities. Agency is…

Background: One area that has been dramatically changed by artificial intelligence (AI) is educational environments. Chatbots, Recommender Systems, Adaptive Learning Systems and Large Language Models have been emerging as practical tools for facilitating learning. However, using such tools appropriately is challenging. In this regard, the…

In 2011, the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research established a Measures Registry (updated in 2020) for four key variables associated with childhood obesity. We analyzed the individual physical activity behaviors portion of the Measures Registry to highlight strengths and gaps in the reliability and validity literature for…

This study examines mathematics teachers' perceptions of using artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching. A survey was conducted among math teachers in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia, encompassing three primary domains (knowledge and awareness, perceived benefits, concerns, and challenges) to ascertain mathematics teachers' views on using AI in teaching.…

The purpose of this technical appendix is to more fully describe the sample, methods, and results of the research brief "Boys Regain the Advantage in Middle School STEM Skills: Post-COVID Trends in Gender Achievement Gaps." The authors investigated three research questions in this brief: (1) How have 8th grade gender gaps in STEM…

Background: Choosing a major involves the interplay of personal characteristics and contextual variables, two key elements of academic selection. The relationships between major choice (MC) and academic expectations (AEs) can highlight the processes evolved in the transition to higher education. We examined, across genders, the relationships…

Background: UNESCO reports that around 70 countries have adopted AI-related strategies, recognizing AI literacy as essential for preparing citizens in an AI-driven world. Yet, two key challenges remain: limited AI literacy development at the foundational level and persistent gender gaps in AI fields. Without early, inclusive education,…

The research, conducted using a quantitative survey model, included 267 participants. The "Teaching on Kazakh Language as a Foreign Language, Technology, Pedagogy…

Several studies indicate that gender is often portrayed stereotypically in mathematics textbooks worldwide. Based on the premise that such representations need to be examined with particular attention to the cultural context within which they exist, this study focuses on the upper-primary mathematics textbooks of the Republic of Cyprus, which are…

This study aims to present the psychometric properties of the Polish language version of the Mathematical Resilience Scale (MRS; Kooken et al., 2016), established in a sample of 443 adults. We confirmed the first-order three-factor structure (Value, Struggle, Growth) with the second-order factor (Total Mathematical Resilience) of the MRS and its…

Washington law (RCW 28A.710.250) requires a report on the performance of the state's charter schools each year, comparing the performance of charter students against the performance of "academically, ethnically, and economically comparable groups of students in other public schools." This report provides an evaluation of charter school…

School districts face a difficult decision when considering a move from half- to full-day pre-K, partly because this is a relatively expensive policy option--each half-day classroom/teacher can serve twice as many students (AM/PM) than one full-day classroom. Yet full-day pre-K could confer meaningful benefits to students, by increasing children's…

Nature of science (NOS) conception and science self-efficacy (SSE) are among the components of scientific literacy and the professional competency of science teachers. In this study, pre-service science teachers (PSSTs) (n = 145) NOS conception, SSE, and the relationships among these constructs were explored. Moreover, the existence of differences…

This cross-temporal meta-analysis involved 86 studies (N = 71,397) on aggression among Chinese college students conducted from 2003 to 2017. We collected articles investigating college students' aggression using the Aggression Questionnaire. The results showed that college students' aggression generally decreased steadily over 15 years. Compared…
