Despite the surging anonymous social media use among adolescents living in non‐Western countries, such as Turkey, existing studies have been conducted in a Western context and do not provide a holistic understanding of adolescents' lived experiences of anonymous social networking site (SNS) interactions. As a result, Turkish adolescents aged 12–15 years (N = 20) were interviewed about their lived experiences of anonymous SNS interactions, using a phenomenological qualitative approach. The authors identified 10 themes. Four themes address circumventing social norms and avoiding repercussions: mocking friends, seeking revenge, engaging in activism, and exploring and expressing self. Four themes pertain to initiating, developing, and testing relationships: exploring romantic relationships, testing friendships, seeking information about others, and gaining attention and/or popularity. Reflecting a major intrapersonal dynamic, another theme describes low self‐confidence/esteem. The final theme addresses a significant risk associated with the anonymous use of SNSs: increased risk of child sexual exploitation. The results provide important insights into the roles of anonymous online interactions in satisfying adolescents' developmental needs and indicate the importance of providing them with support and education to help them navigate the online world safely and responsibly.

Differentiated instruction remains one of the most important frameworks for the global education community to achieve sustainable educational development goals and inclusive education. It is also one of the most critical challenges for teachers in different subjects. This study used structural equation modeling to examine the role of teachers' practices and beliefs in implementing differentiated instruction in physical education. Using a sample of 527 preservice teachers, we found that a growth mindset was the strongest predictor of differentiated instruction, followed by flexible grouping and differentiating the curriculum. In addition, multiple mediation analyses revealed that differentiating the curriculum and flexible grouping mediated the relationship between a growth mindset and differentiated instruction. We also guide teacher educators to develop teachers' growth mindsets and help teachers better understand differentiated instruction in physical education.

We employed a mixed-methods design to identify intervention elements that may improve relational inclusion in classrooms through equity-framed and culturally-attuned teacher−student relationship interventions. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 29 (26 female) school mental health professionals and 19 parents (mostly mothers) of racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse students. Using a convergent mixed-methods design, we first analyzed the individual data points and then integrated the quantitative and qualitative data in the interpretation and discussion of the results. Our findings showed that, for school mental health professionals, the quantitative data largely complemented the qualitative results, which represented four themes: School−family partnerships, critical consciousness, educator preparation, and transformational social-emotional learning. Parents of minoritized students identified unique elements, including microaggressions, color evasion, recognition of bias, storytelling, and systemic change as important for the development of culturally-attuned interventions. The two groups had parallel and contrasting recommendations about elements that may contribute to improved classroom relational inclusion for minoritized students. Results illustrate how merging professional and parent perspectives could contribute to the development of teacher−student relationship interventions that appropriately address issues of equity and culture in ways that are meaningful to end users and other stakeholders.

This study aimed at identifying undergraduate students' barriers to critical thinking. This descriptive study adopted a cross-sectional research method. Data were collected from 3rd and 4th grade students in a state university in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. Data were collected via the critical thinking barriers scale. The data obtained in the study were analyzed using SPSS 22. The mean scores, t-test, and analysis of variance were employed in data analysis. The results of the study revealed that students slightly agree that they are unable to reason, are egocentric, overconfident, and rely on authority. Also, students slightly agree that they have some barriers to critical thinking. The study also demonstrated that grade slightly affects students' barriers to critical thinking, whereas gender and faculty have relatively deeper effects. This study concluded that students don't have significant barriers to critical thinking.

The improvements in attention by mindfulness training have been proved. However, the effects of mindfulness training on attention to emotional stimuli were mixed. We employed a randomized, controlled design to investigate the effects of mindfulness training on attention to emotional expressions, and investigated whether baseline levels of dispositional mindfulness and emotional intelligence would moderate the intervention effects. Forty participants received 8‐week mindfulness training, and another forty participants attended two lectures about mindfulness. All participants completed the visual search task, the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, and the Emotional Intelligence Scale at both pre‐training and post‐training. The results showed that the improvements in search efficiencies were larger in the mindfulness group than those in the control group for sad and angry faces, but not for happy faces. In addition, baseline emotional intelligence but not dispositional mindfulness played a significant moderating role in the relationship between mindfulness training and emotional attention to sadness and anger. The search efficiencies of negative emotions (i.e., anger and sadness) but not positive emotions (i.e., happiness) were significantly improved by mindfulness training. Individuals with a high level of baseline emotional intelligence showed significant improvement in search efficiencies relative to those with a low level of emotional intelligence.

Students identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) benefit from the implementation of evidence‐based practices (EBPs) in all educational settings, including general education classrooms. Research indicates that EBPs are not consistently implemented across educational placements, nor are they always implemented with fidelity. One contextual factor that can influence successful EBP implementation is teacher attitudes toward an EBP. This study examined and compared the attitudes of general education and special education teachers toward EBPs. Study results suggest that special education teachers have more positive attitudes toward EBPs, while general education teachers are more likely to diverge from EBPs to support students with ASD. These findings have implications for improving the implementation of EBPs in both general and special education classrooms for students with disabilities, particularly students with ASD.

Menstruation is a global public health issue with negative discourses of shame, embarrassment, and disgust. There is growing anecdotal evidence linking negative menstruation experiences at school to absenteeism. This systematic review and line‐of‐argument synthesis aims to develop a conceptual understanding of menstruation experiences in schools in high‐income countries. MEDLINE (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), HMIC (Ovid), and ERIC databases were searched. NVivo was used for thematic synthesis and reciprocal translation to generate third‐order constructs: overarching themes that interpretatively describe social processes around menstruation in schools. One thousand three hundred and thirty‐three studies were screened, with 19 meeting inclusion criteria. Six third‐order constructs were identified and integrated into a synthesized line‐of‐argument illustrating menstrual injustice at school. To ensure menstruating students do not face academic disadvantage because of schools’ failure to accommodate menstrual needs, schools should challenge stigma, provide facilities to improve students’ capability and confidence to manage menstruation, and provide academic support to menstruating students who miss classes. Future research should explore experiences of period poverty in HIC schools, examining the influence of gender identity, disability, race, and class on menstruation experiences.

Student misbehavior is a significant occupational stressor for educators, with numerous emotional consequences threatening their mental well‐being. However, research to date has failed to study the behavioral consequences of student misbehavior among teachers, as such stressors may lead to counterproductive workplace behaviors (CWB) that could decline teachers' performance and school functioning. The current study builds on the stressor–emotion model and frustration‐aggression theory to fill this major gap in the literature. The proposed research model examines the association between student misbehavior and teacher CWB through two indirect pathways. It was hypothesized that job‐related negative affect would mediate the relationship between student misbehavior and CWB, and regulatory prevention focus would moderate the path from student misbehavior to CWB. Data collected from a sample of 330 teachers at two time points revealed that student misbehavior was directly associated with CWB and was indirectly associated with CWB through job‐related negative affect. Additionally, the regulatory prevention focus moderated the relationship between student misbehavior and CWB. The findings of the study help clarify the processes underlying the stressor‐behavior link, as well as the boundary conditions of these processes, which could provide a framework for schools to guide policies and practices regarding supporting educators in their interpretation and response to classroom misbehavior.

School-based mental health professionals consistently report that they are either not prepared to support grieving students, or do not have time to integrate crisis intervention support into their hectic schedule. Given that inadequate school mental health services can increase a bereaved student's risk of developing emotional problems, it is critical that school psychologists increase their comfort in grief. This study surveyed 75 school psychologists in the Northwestern United States regarding their training and experience in grief support. A reflexive thematic analysis identified four themes related to the challenges and recommendations in grief support: lack of training, limited role of the school psychologist, lack of formalized grief response system, and lack of school and community resources. Furthermore, only 3% of participants reported taking the lead in providing grief support and 64% provide grief support fewer than five times a year. The majority (81%) reported that they had zero courses devoted to grief support during their graduate degree, with more participants (67%) obtaining grief training postdegree. Study limitations, areas for further research, and implications for schools and school psychologists are also discussed.

Student mental health needs continue to rise across the United States and many students and families rely on schools to provide services to meet these needs. Yet, an overwhelming number of available frameworks and approaches to school mental health (SMH) and overlapping terminology surrounding SMH supports like trauma-informed (TI) approaches, social and emotional learning (SEL), and others can lead to confusion and potentially less effective implementation of services and supports for students. In this paper, we aim to mitigate this confusion and offer a solution that integrates several of these approaches into a single complementary model with a special emphasis on the role of SEL. We first present an overview of commonly used SMH frameworks. Next, we present the Trauma-Informed Multi-Tiered Systems of Support Model (TI-SEL MTSS)–an adaptation of the TITI-SEL MTSS–to include and emphasize the specific role of SEL as a critical foundational layer within a multi-tiered system of support. The proposed adapted model maintains the key structure of a MTSS while highlighting the importance of embedding SEL pedagogy in daily teaching practices and all aspects of school life. A case study is used to illustrate how the proposed model adaptations can be used in practice and in tandem with TI and SMH services without being conflated as the same service as SEL. Practical implications for implementation are discussed.
在美国,学生的心理健康需求持续上升,许多学生和家庭依赖学校提供的服务来满足这些需求。然而,现有的学校心理健康(SMH)框架和方法数量过多,围绕学校心理健康支持的术语也相互重叠,如创伤知情(TI)方法、社会和情感学习(SEL)等,这些都会导致混乱,并可能降低为学生提供服务和支持的效率。在本文中,我们旨在减少这种混淆,并提供一种解决方案,将上述几种方法整合到一个单一的互补模式中,并特别强调社会和情感学习的作用。我们首先概述了常用的 SMH 框架。接下来,我们介绍了创伤知情多层支持系统模型(TI-SEL MTSS)--对 TITI-SEL MTSS 的改编,以纳入并强调 SEL 作为多层支持系统中关键基础层的特殊作用。改编后的模型保留了 MTSS 的关键结构,同时强调了将 SEL 教学法嵌入日常教学实践和学校生活各个方面的重要性。通过一个案例研究,说明了如何在实践中使用所建议的模式调整,以及如何与 TI 和 SMH 服务相结合,而不被混淆为与 SEL 相同的服务。讨论了实施的实际意义。
