As a commonly experienced emotion, music performance anxiety (MPA) greatly hinders performance. Studies have found that personality traits such as perfectionism served as significant predictors of this maladaptive emotion. However, the extant literature rarely explored the differential prediction of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism or the…

The literature reveals a gap in the understanding of the impact of meaningful work (MW) and strength use (SU) on teachers' job performance (JP), which has not been widely studied. Additionally, the roles of SU and work engagement (WE) as mediating variables affecting teachers' perceptions of MW in JP are less explored. This study addresses these…

This study focuses on how levels of burnout impact on the quality of sleep and academic performance of university students. Previous research has found limited evidence on the prevalence of burnout in university students, in addition to the relationship between exhaustion behaviours and sleep quality. The social exchange theory (SET) is important…

Background and Context: Professional development (PD) programs for K-12 computer science teachers use surveys to measure teachers' knowledge and attitudes while recognizing daily sentiment and emotion changes can be crucial for providing timely teacher support. Objective: We investigate approaches to compute sentiment and emotion scores…

The aim of this study is to investigate how the emotional orientations in peer assessment affect student performance. Given that the emotional data in peer comments exist in the form of unstructured text, this study applied the text sentiment analysis method to the mining and analysis of peer-review texts. For this purpose, emotional orientations…

The study was on career development as a predictor of business educators' job performance in Universities in South-South, Nigeria. Three research questions were raised and three hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a correlational survey research design. The population of the study comprised 158…

Teachers well-being has a significant influence on their quality of life, as well as on students' emotions, behaviors, and cognitions. Although there is evidence of a negative relationship between teachers' experience of work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) with their well-being, we have no information on how the interaction…

Purpose: Cultivation of a learning culture and subsequent enhancements in employee performance can be translated through employee engagement. This study aims to examine the mediating role of employee engagement in the relationship between the learning culture and employee performance. Design/methodology/approach: This research adopted a…

The researcher surveyed 46 educators who shared insights into the effectiveness of…

The cross-sectional study aimed to examine the relationships between motives for smartphone use, family satisfaction, loneliness, grade point average (GPA), and problematic smartphone use (PSU). It included 519 elementary school students aged 12-16 years (M = 13.87, SD = 1.01). The authors used the Smartphone Addiction Scale, the Smartphone Usage…

Contribution: This study examines the impact of student data and behaviors on student evaluations of teaching. It leverages campus data and employs statistical methods to explore the relationships among these indicators. A regression model is developed that integrates teaching evaluation, expected grades, and course participation, aiming to…

Student mobility is highly prevalent in the United States and has negative impacts on students' academic performance. Within-year mobility may be especially disruptive. However, research on the impacts of within-year mobility is limited, and less is known how impacts may vary across different geographies, such as differences between urban and…

Evidenced-based mathematics interventions are critical for supporting students with mathematics difficulties. In research and practice, collecting implementation fidelity is important for ensuring that all the core components of the intervention are implemented as designed. Historically, implementation fidelity has been defined as multi-faceted…
