Subrahmanyam, Jeyanthi – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2021
Mathematics is an important component of school education. It teaches us to think logically. But learning this subject is not easy due to its abstract nature. Students find it difficult to learn mathematics due to a lack of interest in the subject. Nowadays schools give importance to grades and marks rather than teaching the subject interestingly.…

Abdulla Alabbasi, Ahmed M.; Hafsyan, Amnah S. M.; Runco, Mark A.; AlSaleh, Aseel – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2021
Investigations of differences between gifted and nongifted students have examined cognitive abilities, including intelligence quotient (IQ) differences, higher order thinking skills, and divergent thinking (DT). However, little is known about differences in problem finding (PF). Moreover, previous works on gifted students have never explored…

Slingerland, Menno; Haerens, Leen; Cardon, Greet; Borghouts, Lars – European Physical Education Review, 2014
Creating environments in physical education (PE) that foster perceived competence and physical activity during gender-mixed game play lessons is a challenge, especially with adolescent girls. This study is a small experiment in one PE lesson that aimed to increase the perceived competence and in-class physical activity in girls, by applying a…

Sykes, Curtis – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Dedicated educators strive to ensure the achievement of all their students. Much research has been done to determine which factors may lead to success in the classroom, particularly that of the math classroom. As the study of mathematics is fundamental for many careers, a solid foundation is vital for students. This study examined whether or not…

Duong, Mylien T.; Badaly, Daryaneh; Ross, Alexandra C.; Schwartz, David – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Previous research has shown that adolescent peer groups play a role in maintaining and exacerbating demographic differences in achievement. However, there is still limited knowledge about the malleable factors that contribute to these achievement disparities. This short-term longitudinal study examined one such malleable factor--namely, perceived…

Latinx Parents, Latinx Students, and In-School Suspension: A Quantitative Study of School Discipline
Smiley, CalvinJohn; Browne, Anthony; Battle, Juan – Journal of Latinos and Education, 2023
Over the last several decades, "zero-tolerance" policies have been implemented by federal, state, and local educational systems, which have altered the culture of learning. A consequence of this "tough on education" culture is what some scholars have called the "school-to-prison-pipeline" which disproportionately…

Schuchman, Matthew – ProQuest LLC, 2011
There is a deficit of male and female students entering the fields of math and science, and the need for highly educated individuals in these areas is expected to increase. While various factors may play a role in creating this deficit, there is a lack of research on one factor, that of student attitudes toward science. The theories of social…
