Experimental evidence of effects of instructors' growth or fixed mindsets has so far been provided only by studies on U.S. university students. Research outside the US and on primary and secondary school students has relied on correlational data. In two preregistered vignette experiments with secondary school and university students in Germany (N…

Background: Social-emotional practices are crucial in today's educational landscape, fostering students' emotional intelligence, resilience and interpersonal skills. Integrating these practices into the gamified flipped classroom approach creates an enriched learning environment. However, there exists a notable research gap regarding the specific…

This study highlights critical factors influencing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' decisions to provide in-class oral corrective feedback (OCF). It explores the interplay between teachers' individual differences -- namely educational background, teaching experience, and additional training -- and their decisions regarding OCF. EFL…

Background: Students make many errors in visual programming. In order to learn from these, it is important that students regulate their emotions and view errors as learning opportunities. Aims: This study aimed to explore to what extent momentary emotions, specifically enjoyment, anxiety and boredom, as well as the error learning orientation of…

We investigate a personal response system (PRS) pedagogy for lecture halls that encourages active engagement yet lowers barriers for implementation by eliminating the need to address student requests to make up questions because students must answer (not necessarily correctly) only more than half (greater than or equal 50%) of PRS questions to…

Background: Young adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities lack access to mental health supports. Peer-delivered services may fill this gap. We adapted a theory-driven and evidence-based peer mentoring intervention for virtual-delivery and investigated its acceptability and participants' preliminary response. Methods: Twelve…

Bullying in school has become a public health problem. Among the various bullying's risk factors, the vulnerabilities associated with socio-emotional skills stand out.

The prevalence of students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is increasing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and around the world. In school, students with ASD face academic challenges, specifically in reading. Targeted evidence-based practices (EBPs) are needed to support reading development for students with ASD. To date, limited research…

This study investigates the influence of plant landscape colors on the quality of life of college students at Sichuan Vocational College of Health and Rehabilitation in Zigong City, China. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative data from 328 student questionnaires with qualitative insights from in-depth interviews…

This article investigates the impact of integrating authentic and contextualized activities into teaching on students' knowledge construction, grounded in social constructivism principles. The research focuses on applying the real-project approach within a "Mini-Project Workshop" module for third-year Information Systems Development…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Korean Behavior Assessment System for Children 3rd Edition Teacher Rating Scales--Child Form (K·BASC-3 TRS-C). We used the generalized partial credit model based on item response theory (IRT) to examine the internal validity of the scale's items and the latent trait in a…

By 2031, culturally and linguistically diverse students will represent approximately 55% of students enrolled in United States public schools (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2023). Despite increased ethnic diversity among students, most teachers are White. Consequently, many new teachers report feeling ill-equipped to implement…

Because reading comprehension is an important skill that many students struggle with, there is an urgent need to foster it. Few studies have investigated effective comprehension practices within a response-to-intervention design. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of a Tier 1 intervention implemented for 10 weeks on 491 Flemish fifth…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is here and seems on the brink of transforming education. As teachers, we know that AI will not diminish the need for students to learn essential skills. It will, however, change how we teach and will require us to develop new skill sets for instruction and assessment. Teachers have a new opportunity--to embrace…

Developing empathy in teacher education is essential as it contributes to increased sensitivity and understanding between teachers and their students.
