A growing body of literature suggests students' feelings of belongingness influence academic achievement (Faircloth & Hamm, 2005).

This investigation…

Blikstein, Paulo; Gomes, July Silveira; Akiba, Henrique Teruo; Schneider, Bertrand – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2017
Technology is changing the way students interact with knowledge, and open-ended activities are one of the main types of tasks that students engage with in technology-rich environments. However, the amount of guidance needed to promote learning in these environments remains unknown. We explore this issue by focusing on the effects of step-by-step…

Toomey, Russell B.; Russell, Stephen T. – Youth & Society, 2013
Few studies have investigated school-based, positive development for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) youth, despite knowledge of their heightened negative school experiences compared to heterosexual youth (e.g., school victimization).

Stein, Rachel S. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Latino/as are an increasingly large subset of the United States population; however, they continue to be underrepresented in science careers.

To address this lack of literature, the…

Purpose is an internal compass that integrates engagement in activities that affect others, self-awareness of one's reasons, and the intention to continue these activities. We argue that purpose represents giftedness in intrapersonal intelligence, which processes information related to self, identity, self-regulation, and one's place in the world.…
