Background: Community attachments are thought to promote adolescents' engagement in public health behaviors. To date, past research has exclusively examined the social benefits of community attachments among adolescents in the United States and less is known about these benefits among youth in low-income adolescent-dense countries such as…

In this article, we draw on the literature on trust to examine how elementary school principals make sense of superintendent trustworthiness. We examine trust in the context of the principal-superintendent relationship because it is the "social glue" needed for effective professional relationships where student learning and success is at…

Faculty job satisfaction is critical to the success of students and institutions of higher education. Satisfaction of faculty has often been tied to the autonomy of faculty to complete their work with many faculty viewing themselves as independent contractors whose roles and identities are separate from the institution's, but the implications of…

COVID-19 was the first pandemic of the modern era to strike with such virulence. We sought to understand this recent phenomenon and contribute to the empirical findings on the expectations from HEI leadership and management in Turkey. Drawing on the Turbulence Theory, we explored how the academic staff experienced the initial phase of the pandemic…

One developmental task faced by children is to identify, remember, and learn from epistemic and moral agents around them who are known to be good or virtuous. Here, in 2 studies, we examined U.S children's (N = 138; 55% female, 45% male; predominantly White, middle-class) memory processes for agents varying in moral and epistemic virtue. In Study…

This research investigated social interactions within small significant networks across a range of higher education settings to determine their role in supporting improvements to assessment. Thirty-four academic staff from three higher education settings (Australia, Canada and Sweden) provided assessment change examples and drew network diagrams…

Misinformation on social media is a major problem facing our society. The experience deriving from use does not guarantee success in identifying false information. This study seeks to determine whether an active role in social media impacts on informational skills. For this purpose, we designed a survey that was administered to 756 young people…

Inspirational teaching is a fairly well-researched field, and the benefits that it brings to student learning are manifold. Although the characteristics of inspirational teaching practice have been studied, there is no clear, universally recognised framework for understanding them. This article presents the results of a literature review, in…

Despite increasing pressure for policy and practice to adopt a more evidence-based approach, transferring evidence into use remains a stubborn challenge. This is largely due to a number of researcher-derived and user-derived barriers at play within institutions, organisations and systems that constrain active engagement with evidence. This paper…

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based voice assistants have become an essential part of our daily lives. Yet, little is known concerning what motivates students to use them in educational activities. Therefore, this research develops a theoretical model by extending the technology acceptance model (TAM) with subjective norm, enjoyment, facilitating…

Trusting relationships between teachers and students is a cornerstone of success in the classroom. As a means for continuous professional growth, teachers should have an understanding of other teachers' positive experiences with and accessible strategies for how to build these relationships. Current research is missing the narrative voices of…

Declining trust between citizens and public institutions has contributed to already tenuous relationships between schools and the communities they serve, but trusting relationships between families and schools are foundational to student achievement and overall school success. Effective messaging is critical to building trusting relationships,…

This qualitative phenomenological study explored the traits and leadership behaviors primary and secondary teachers perceive as trustworthy in a principal and how trust in the principal contributes to teachers' job satisfaction. Fifteen primary and secondary teachers participated in semi-structured interviews, and transcripts were coded in a…

This study examines the advising relationship of faculty advisors and student advisees at a public liberal arts college that is part of a multi-campus university system. The study was designed to capture and compare the perceptions that faculty and students had of their experience working together in an advising relationship. Data was derived from…

Autograding short textual answers has become much more feasible due to the rise of NLP and the increased availability of question-answer pairs brought about by a shift to online education. Autograding performance is still inferior to human grading. The statistical and black-box nature of state-of-the-art machine learning models makes them…
