Khine, Myint Swe; Fraser, Barry J.; Afari, Ernest – Learning Environments Research, 2020
Relationships between students' perceptions and their non-cognitive outcomes (epistemological beliefs, self-efficacy and attitudes to science) were investigated through secondary analysis of data from 14,167 United Arab Emirates students who participated in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Structural equation modeling…

Schütte, Kerstin – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2015
Devaluing an academic domain is a potential means of alleviating the psychological discomfort that results from the inconsistency of a low domain-specific self-concept of ability and great value attached to the domain. Such motivated devaluation of a domain is expected to be stronger in cultural contexts that promote a relatively greater focus on…

Structural Equation Model of Students' Competence in Mathematics among Filipino High School Students
Gurat, Melanie G. – Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2018
This study aimed to construct structural equation model of students' competence in mathematics through selected students profile variables. The structural model revealed interesting influence of the profile variables to the competency in mathematics. It can be conveyed that better mother's work status, higher educational level expected to…
