Research Studies Of The Week

I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up. So I’ve started writing a “round-up” of some of them each week or every other week as a regular feature.
You can see all my “Best” lists related to education research here.
Here are some new useful studies (and related resources):

This certainly resonates with my experience. And when I started teaching a common piece of advice I got was that teachers’ lounges can be pretty toxic, which I think was related to this dynamic. (In practice I don’t know that I ever worked at a school with a well-used lounge though.)
