Purpose: Teachers' organisational identification is crucial for the success of educational reform in the change process. This study investigates how and under what conditions authentic principal leadership contributes to teachers' organisational identification. Design/methodology/approach: Data collected from 7907 public high school teachers…

In this study, it is aimed to present an activity to develop students' creative thinking skills. To that end, 'Take Out One-Add One Activity' has been implemented. The activity has been applied to six gifted and talented students attending the Individual Talent Recognition Program at the Science and Art Center. In the first stage of the activity,…

This study examines some teacher sociodemographic factors and school characteristics that may influence teachers' identification of gifted students. Teachers initially nominated a sample of 505 students aged 7-17 years (M = 11.51, SD = 2.07), but only 359 completed a general intelligence test and 225 reached the minimum percentile to be considered…

The issue of disproportionality, or the over-representation of students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in special education, has long been a challenge for school districts. This issue predates the implementation of PL 94-192. School building administrators are seen as agents of change, responsible for setting expectations…

The purpose of this qualitative study is to better understand how children identify with superheroes to allow counselors to have a basis of understanding to inform their use of superheroes in therapeutic settings.

This study aimed to solve a…

We propose a novel approach to address the issue of college student attrition by developing a hybrid model that combines a structural neural network with a piecewise exponential model. This hybrid model not only shows the potential to robustly identify students who are at high risk of dropout, but also provides insights into which factors are most…
