Facilitators and Barriers of Implementing evidence-based Programs Delivered by Teachers in Early Childhood Education
Evidenced-based programs designed for education settings often prove effective under research conditions, but are underexplored in real world contexts, revealing a research-to-practice gap. Understanding teachers’ implementation experiences, including facilitators and barriers, is crucial to inform the future scale-up of effective approaches. This study explored the implementation experiences of early childhood teachers ( n = 7) incorporating a r…
Relationships and sexuality education for primary school students
This study evaluated a relationships and sexuality education (RSE) programme for upper primary [elementary] school-aged children, delivered by specialist relationships and sexuality educators in Queensland, Australia. Students (n = 148) in Years 4, 5 and 6 (ages 9–12 years) of six participating schools attended a two-hour programme and completed a self-report questionnaire before and after it. Parents/caregivers (n = 174) and school staff (n = 6)…
Effectiveness of Online Music Professional Development
Few studies have analyzed the effectiveness of online music professional development (OMPD) on teachers’ pedagogical competencies. We evaluated the effectiveness of an OMPD designed to train kindergarten teachers in a music-and-movement intervention, drawing on the notion of implementation fidelity (i.e., level of accuracy with which an intervention is delivered). In addition, we investigated teachers’ perspectives on the factors that facilitated…
The mindful movement program in primary schools
This study demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of a structured approach to movement and mindfulness developed by an experienced dance teacher, and delivered by teachers within the existing classroom setting. The program showed encouraging findings of improvement in a pre-post assessment. Further research is warranted to establish effectiveness in a controlled study design
Can Self-Understanding Foster Feelings of Professional Responsibility among Planning Students
This qualitative study explores how structured reflection activities can help students critically examine their inner worlds and engage with challenging emotions related to the profession’s history on the path to developing professional expertise. Analysis of students’ reflections assessed levels of critical reflection and engagement with affective learning concepts. Findings indicate that students developed greater self-awareness, honed their se…
Promoting effective transitions
BACKGROUND: The transition from primary to secondary school presents a challenging developmental milestone which often marks a decline in academic performance. Social-emotional skills are recognized as fundamental to academic success but longitudinal research is needed to determine the extent of their association over this transition period. AIM: This study sought to determine the association between self-reported social-emotional competencies of…
Examining the effectiveness of a video-based parent–child program on executive functions for children 5 to 6 years old
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Parent–child Brain Camp, a 4-week video-based executive functions (EFs) training program for children ages 5–6, through a randomized controlled trial with a pre- and post-test design with 173 Hong Kong children (intervention ni = 79, 48.7% girls, Mage = 69.16 months; control n = 94, 56.4% girls, Mage = 68.58 months) in 2022. Results from the two-way mixed ANOVA revealed that while the main effect of t…

Kindergarten teachers’ knowledge of and beliefs in the influence of music and movement on children’s self-regulation
Un número creciente de estudios indica que la exposición temprana a la música y el movimiento (M&M) impacta positivamente en la autorregulación infantil. Sin embargo, se ha prestado poca atención a lo que las y los docentes de infantil saben y creen sobre la relación entre M&M y la autorregulación, y menos aún a cómo sus propias experiencias de M&M se relacionan con sus conocimientos y creencias. El presente estudio investiga dichos temas utiliza…

Measurement Invariance Across Sex and Language Background of a Self-Report Social-Emotional Learning Questionnaire for Middle Childhood
This study investigates the measurement invariance of a brief self-report measure of childhood social-emotional competencies, the Middle Childhood Survey: Social-Emotional Learning (MCS-SEL), across demographic subgroups. Invariance was tested simultaneously among subgroups of children aged 11–12 years that were differentiated by sex (male, female) and main language spoken at home (English, not English). Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis e…
Rhythm and movement delivered by teachers supports self-regulation skills of preschool-aged children in disadvantaged communities
Self-regulation skills are an important predictor of school readiness and early school achievement. Research identifies that experiences of early stress in disadvantaged households can affect young children's brain architecture, often manifested in poor self-regulatory functioning. While there are documented benefits of coordinated movement activities and music education to improve self-regulation, few interventions have focused exclusively on rh…
How school leaders navigate the priority school support review process
In Australia, policy makers demand school leaders focus on raising student achievement levels when planning and implementing a school improvement (SI) plan. This paper explores the SI process for two Australian primary schools deemed to be underperforming and underwent a priority school support review (PSSR). In this study, 2 principals and members of their leadership team and 10 teachers across 2 schools were interviewed to explore how they expe…
Leadership attributes that support school improvement
School improvement reforms aimed at achieving improved student learning remain high on the agenda for leaders across the globe. The purpose of this paper is to understand the leadership attributes that enable school leaders to bring about positive change. This qualitative study is based on interviews with school leaders (school principals and their deputy principals) and focus groups of six teachers in two case study schools. A realist approach i…
Predicting Academic School Readiness and Risk Status from Different Assessment Approaches and Constructs of Early Self-Regulation
Exploring the role of the “Big Three” features of effective youth development programs in El Salvador
Programs effective in promoting positive youth development (PYD) involve curricular features termed the Big Three: Positive and sustained adult–youth relationships; life-skill-building activities; and youth contribution and leadership opportunities. Data from 610 adolescents (50% female; M age = 16.39 years, SD = 1.83) enrolled in Compassion International-supported programs in El Salvador indicated that scores derived from a youth-report measure …

Parental perceptions of the Sing&Grow programme
New parenthood is demanding and can negatively impact socially, emotionally and financially on family members particularly those already experiencing stress due to poverty or hardship, mental illness or isolation. Vulnerable parents are at risk of lower self-efficacy in parenting and less positive relationships with their children. Sing&Grow is a federally funded music therapy programme utilizing group parent–child music therapy sessions, aimed a…

Dissension in public evaluations of the police
The way in which police officers deal with the public has a profound and predominantly negative influence on how the police generally are viewed by the public. Tyler's theory of ‘procedural justice’ argues that if officers act with fairness and respect when interacting with the public, they can win legitimacy. This theory is however one sided; the process of interaction involves not only how the police behave, but also how members of the public p…

Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place
This article describes some of the difficulties experienced by the police in attempting to create and maintain the legitimacy of two local Street Watch police-community partnerships. Using Beetham's (1991) framework of legitimacy for analysis, it is argued that Street Watch schemes do not enjoy inherent legitimacy fundamentally because of their potential for vigilantism, which in turn can threaten to compromise the legitimacy of the police. This …

Toward global measurement of the information society
To be global, digital and inclusive, we need comparable measures of ICT use around the world. To contribute to this, this research note analyzes what questions the Chinese and the U.S. governments ask in their large, long-running surveys on the topic of computer and internet use. The process and content of these surveys point up agreements, differences, and silences. Based on this, we propose nine basic questions that can be standardized and used…
Research note
Freely accessible online, with a wide set of authors and a wider readership, First Monday can be seen as striving for global knowledge on the social aspects of the Internet. In a meta-analysis now underway, we found First Monday to be the third most prolific journal on a particular subject: local communities’ uses of information technology. Our study also sheds some light on what constitutes global knowledge. The data suggests that a synthesis of…
