Math self-efficacy and test anxiety represent key aspects of motivation that play a crucial role in student learning, yet they are often studied separately. This study investigated (i) the relationships between math self-efficacy, test anxiety, and performance, and (ii) whether these were predicted by the teaching condition (co-teaching vs. solo-teaching). (pdf).

Good classroom behavioral climate (CBC) can be defined as an environment that is safe, where behavioral disruptions are rare, and which supports engagement in learning. The objective of this study was to find out what factors predict CBC. (pdf).

This study used a pre- and post-test intervention design, supplied with post-test interviews, to investigate to what extent an English foreign language lesson plan focusing on communication (in)directness and face would improve students’ intercultural competence. (pdf).

This article explores how ten Norwegian upper secondary school teachers narrated the inclusion of minority language students (MLSs) in their mainstream classrooms. Using narrative content analysis of in-depth interviews, two distinct master-narratives were identified. (pdf).
