Reducing disruptive behaviours and improving learning climates with class-wide positive behaviour support in middle schools
2014
Disruptive behaviours in classrooms pose a significant challenge for learning in schools and are, at the same time, a risk factor for students’ academic achievement and a major source for work-related stress among teachers. Earlier research suggests that clarifying the classroom rules and behavioural expectations, monitoring students’ adherence to them and using behaviour-specific praise are simple and effective practices to reduce disruptive behaviour. Most of the interventions have been developed for elementary schools, although behaviour problems tend to be more common in middle schools. This two-month pilot study using a pre–post design evaluated the effects of a class-wide intervention…
Lower secondary school pupils’ written descriptions of their experiences with bullying and the tendency to seek help
2021
The purpose of this study was to examine lower secondary school students’ (n = 223) descriptions of bullying and their experiences with the phenomenon. Students at three schools in Norway completed a survey containing open-ended questions. We employed a mixed-methods analytical approach in which responses were coded thematically and then quantified. Findings indicate that students viewed bullying in a manner consistent with prevalent definitions in the literature. However, they were often unsure whether social conflicts they had experienced would be considered bullying. School was clearly featured as the primary arena for bullying, although bullying in free-time activities and on social med…
Emotional Intelligence Profiles and Self-Esteem/Self-Concept: An Analysis of Relationships in Gifted Students

Students' academic and emotional adjustment during the transition from primary to secondary school
2019
The current study examined several indicators of students' academic and emotional adjustment during the transition from primary (i.e., grade 6) to secondary school (i.e., grades 7 and 9). Specifically, the study investigated how students' engagement, achievement, and burnout, as well as student-teacher conflict, evolve together over time. A total of 356 adolescents (57.3% boys) filled out questionnaires about their burnout and their behavioral and cognitive engagement. Students' achievement was measured using standardized test scores. Conflict in the teacher-student relationship was assessed using teacher ratings. Cross-lagged models revealed bi-directional associations between behavioral a…
The Contribution of Bullying Involvement and Alexithymia to Somatic Complaints in Preadolescents
2023
Somatic complaints during preadolescence are connected to individual and contextual factors, and extant research highlights the relevance of alexithymia and bullying involvement. In this cross-sectional study, we explored the joint and unique influence of bullying involvement—as perpetrators, victims, or outsiders—and alexithymia on somatic complaints in a sample of 179 Italian middle-school students (aged 11–15). Findings revealed an indirect association between bullying perpetration and victimization complaints through alexithymia. We also found a significant direct association between victimization and somatic complaints. No significant association between outsider beha…

Profile szkolnej wiedzy o języku w kontekście egzaminów zewnętrznych
2017
W artykule stawia się pytanie o sposób sprawdzania wiedzy o języku podczas egzaminu gimnazjalnego. Przyjęto założenie, że egzaminom przysługuje funkcja systemotwórcza – profile zadań egzaminacyjnych stają się modelowymi przykładami praktyki edukacyjnej, mają wpływ na organizację procesu dydaktycznego oraz na strukturę efektów kształcenia. To szczególnie istotne w sytuacji, gdy reforma programowa nie ogranicza się do korekty treści nauczania, a dąży do zmiany modelu dydaktyki oraz gdy koncepcje wpisane w dokument programowy nie są wyraziście sprofilowane. Analizie poddano zadania z testu czytania z egzaminów gimnazjalnych z lat 2012-2016, odnoszące się do warstwy językowej testu. Stwierdzono…
The Use of Question Modification Strategies to Differentiate Instruction in Eritrean Mathematics and Science Classrooms
2023
This qualitative study aimed at examining the question modification strategies Eritrean elementary and middle school teachers used to differentiate their instruction and meet the diversity in the classroom as well as the functions these strategies served in classroom interactions. The research data consisted of videotaped recordings (N = 11 videotaped lessons) of classroom interactions in eight mathematics and science classrooms, which were analysed through interaction analysis. The findings showed that Eritrean teachers utilised the following five question modification strategies either independently or in combination: repetition; rephrasing; clarification; decomposition; and code-switchin…
