Anxiety adversely impacts boys' and girls' mental health. We assessed agreement on student anxiousness in 390 student and teacher reports from first to 10th grade. Of 67 self-reported anxious students, 56 (83.6%) were unrecognized by the teacher. Next, we explored classroom-related characteristics of anxious and unseen students in logistic…

In this study, our team observed sixth grade teachers as they taught fractions to students in their mathematics intervention classes to see whether they were including motivational-supportive messages within the framework of Situated Expectancy-Value Theory. Messages in the intervention lessons and teacher transcripts were explored and analyzed,…

When thinking of early childhood STEM, images of active, play-based design challenges, experiences with robotics/coding, or hands-on experiences with open-ended materials (e.g., balls, ramps, loose parts) often come to mind. While these are certainly images that align with developmentally appropriate early childhood STEM practices, some of the…

In recent decades, the integration of emerging technologies, such as maker education and artificial intelligence, into the educational field has become a prominent area of research. The purpose of this article is to explore whether the introduction of generative artificial intelligence into the design process of maker projects by future teachers…

The 21st century represents a time of worldwide interconnectedness that demands every individual to have digital knowledge and literacy. Science learning activities are important to help students learn and understand science and students' digital literacy. Learning that actively involves students will encourage students to find ideas. This study…

The STEM.LD program was funded by a 2020 mid-phase Education Innovation and Research (EIR) grant. It sought to improve student outcomes by strengthening professional learning for teachers and school leaders, expanding STEM curricular resources, and increasing student engagement in rigorous coursework and extracurricular opportunities. A randomized…

Globalization, the rise of the digital economy, and the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (Dean & Campbell, 2020; Sutherland & Symmons, 2013; Zegwaard et al., 2020) have contributed to the emergence of several modalities of work-integrated learning (WIL) in higher education. The result of all this activity has been a rise in the…

Machine-learning models can assist in diagnosing autism but have biases. We examines the correlates of misclassifications and how training data affect model generalizability. The Social Responsive Scale data were collected from two cohorts in Taiwan: the clinical cohort comprised 1203 autistic participants and 1182 non-autistic comparisons, and…

Teachers play a vital role in promoting societal change and guiding students toward a sustainable future. This research aims to develop and validate a scale, namely 'Teaching Styles for Sustainability Education (TSSE)' to assess teaching styles in sustainability education in Pakistan. The scale was developed and tested with students from nine…

This practical book will help readers understand what STEAM is, how it differs from STEM, and how it can be used to engage students in K-8 classrooms. Readers will find easy-to-understand examples of what STEAM education looks like in a variety of classrooms and will hear from teachers, instructional coaches, principals, and administrators about…

The implementation of history education at universities has not yet seen able to give optimal results. This study aims to propose a model for improving the quality of history education in higher education. It poses the primary research question: what is the quality improvement model of history education like according to the needs analysis? The…

Problem-based learning (PBL) involves using problems as a starting point of learning rather than relying on traditional learning settings. In the present paper we present the theoretical framework behind a specific PBL setting we have developed since 2012 for training Danish psychologist students in a small university children's clinic…

Previous research has shown that responding to the appropriate and problematic speech of individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities with interested and uninterested listener responses, respectively, can promote more appropriate conversational engagement. However, Fisher et al. (2013) also responded to appropriate speech with access to…

Missing data are ubiquitous in studies examining preventive interventions. This missing data need to be handled appropriately for data analyses to yield unbiased results. After a brief discussion of missing data mechanisms, inappropriate missing data treatments and appropriate missing data treatments, we review the current state of missing data…

The quality of the relationship that develops between a student and teacher has been connected to pivotal instructional and behavioral outcomes for students. The student-teacher relationship can specifically be harnessed to reduce minor behavioral infractions. However, it is an element of the learning environment that is often overlooked. This…
