K-12 blended learning readiness in emerging contexts exploring the readiness of institutions, teachers, and students in Mongolia
Exploring the perceived mental health benefits of pickleball for junior players
Pickleball was first introduced in the 1960s and is growing quickly in popularity. A variety of benefits for adult pickleball players are reported in the literature. However, there has only been one study of pickleball for junior players published in the literature. In the present exploratory pilot study, we used a questionnaire to examine the perceptions of 51 junior pickleball players between the ages of 8 and 18 in the US. Results indicated th…
Comparing Course Modalities for Religious Education Outcomes
This study statistically analyzes data from 241 university students in the same religion course during the same semester, with the same instructor, enrolled in four different course modalities: face-to-face, blended, synchronous online, and asynchronous online. Across modalities, students received identical course content and assessments. When statistically controlling for gender, incoming GPA, modality motivation, teacher rapport, and peer conne…
Examining the relationships among maladaptive perfectionism, scrupulosity, self-compassion, and suicidal ideation among Latter-day Saints
This study examined the relationships between maladaptive perfectionism, scrupulosity, self-compassion, psychological well-being, and suicidal ideation among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). Recruitment involved 104 LDS adult individuals who completed measures related to maladaptive perfectionism, scrupulosity, self-compassion, psychological well-being, and suicidal ideation. Maladaptive perfectionism and scrupulo…
Ethnoracial comparisons in anxiety and depression outcomes among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander college students
We explored differences in distress scores at intake as well as the change in anxiety and depression scores over the course of 12 therapy sessions for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) college students. Data were collected from the Center for Collegiate Mental Health (N = 256,242). Results support the notion that NHPI college students experience anxiety and depression in therapy differently from other ethnic groups with moderate-to-larg…
Parental Perceptions of the Teaching Profession
This study examines factors that influence parent’s willingness to encourage their children to consider teaching as a career. Using structural equation modeling, we identified four factors that are highly predictive of a parent’s willingness to encourage their children to consider teaching and their belief that teaching would be their best career option. Results indicated that parents were more likely to encourage their children to become teacher…
Is the Measure Good Enough? Measurement Invariance and Validity of the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale in a University Population
Imposter Phenomenon (IP) was coined in 1978 by Clance and Imes and has been an important construct in explaining individuals' experiences of believing that achievements are a result of luck or misperceptions of others rather than personal competence. The Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), developed in 1985, is a prominent operationalization of this construct. Although this scale has been widely used since its inception, its factor structure…
Elementary teacher characteristics, experiences, and science subject matter knowledge
Measuring teacher beliefs about coding and computational thinking
This study sought to identify factors that affect teachers’ beliefs about teaching computing in their classrooms. By reviewing existing scales and research on computing, we created the Teacher Beliefs about Coding and Computational Thinking (TBaCCT) scale. Through confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling we validated the scale with data from 245 elementary teachers from eight U.S. school districts who participated in computin…
Reading for pleasure among Jordanian children
Background We Love Reading (WLR) is a community‐based reading intervention aimed at cultivating an interest in reading for pleasure among children through mobilising local community members to establish informal libraries and organise read‐aloud sessions in public spaces. The programme targets primarily children between the ages 4–10 but is also open to older children. The present study investigated the effect of the WLR programme on children's p…
Validating a blended teaching readiness instrument for primary/secondary preservice teachers
Blended learning is the fastest growing teaching modality in North America and much of the world. However, research and training in blended learning are far outpaced by its usage. To remedy this gap, we developed a competency framework and Blended Teaching Readiness Instrument (BTRI) to help teachers and researchers evaluate teacher readiness for blended environments. The purpose of this research is to show that the blended teaching readiness mod…
Exploring Diurnal Cortisol Rhythms of Kindergarten Teachers in Kosovo and Ukraine
Teachers’ stress is a dynamic combination of the individual teacher's characteristics and characteristics of the classroom and school environment. To date, there are limited studies on teachers’ stress in the context of lower‐middle‐income countries ( LMIC s), where working conditions as well as general political and economic circumstances might pose a considerable threat for teachers’ well‐being. This study explores whether certain combinations …

To what extent do teacher–student interaction quality and student gender contribute to fifth graders’ engagement in mathematics learning?
This study examines concurrent teacher–student interaction quality and 5th graders’ (n = 387) engagement in mathematics classrooms (n = 63) and considers how teacher–student interaction quality relates to engagement differently for boys and girls. Three approaches were used to measure student engagement in mathematics: Research assistants observed engaged behavior, teachers reported on students’ engagement, and students completed questionnaires. …
Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching, Standards-Based Mathematics Teaching Practices, and Student Achievement in the Context of the Responsive Classroom Approach
This study investigates the effectiveness of the Responsive Classroom ( RC) approach, a social and emotional learning intervention, on changing the relations between mathematics teacher and classroom inputs (mathematical knowledge for teaching [MKT] and standards-based mathematics teaching practices) and student mathematics achievement. Work was conducted in the context of a randomized controlled trial. Participants were 88 third-grade teachers a…
Reading and spelling skills inGerman third graders
BackgroundEducational processes and outcomes are influenced by a multitude of factors, including individual and contextual characteristics. Recently, studies have demonstrated that student and context characteristics may produce unique and cumulative effects on educational outcomes.AimsThe study aimed to investigate (1) the relative contribution of student, classroom, and school characteristics to reading fluency and orthographic spelling, (2) th…
Trajectories of Life Satisfaction During Middle School
The middle‐school years have been associated with declines in functioning and family, peer, and teacher relationships. Yet, trajectory analyses indicate variation in this pattern. Prior focus of trajectory studies has been primarily about problematic functioning. This study brings a positive youth development perspective to how life satisfaction trajectories relate to family, peer, and teacher relationships and functioning. Students in 25 middle …
Efficacy of the Responsive Classroom Approach
This randomized controlled field trial examined the efficacy of the Responsive Classroom ( RC) approach on student achievement. Schools ( n = 24) were randomized into intervention and control conditions; 2,904 children were studied from end of second to fifth grade. Students at schools assigned to the RC condition did not outperform students at schools assigned to the control condition in math or reading achievement. Use of RC practices mediated …
Missing Data Imputation versus Full Information Maximum Likelihood with Second-Level Dependencies
Missing data in the presence of upper level dependencies in multilevel models have never been thoroughly examined. Whereas first-level subjects are independent over time, the second-level subjects might exhibit nonzero covariances over time. This study compares 2 missing data techniques in the presence of a second-level dependency: multiple imputation (MI) and full information maximum likelihood (FIML), which were compared in an SAS simulation st…
