Social learning is a fundamental mechanism for efficiently transferring and coordinating norms, skills, and sophisticated cultural information to individuals. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying social learning remain unclear. To investigate this, we recruited adult participants (N = 103), who observed a model's performance in a…

Zogmaister, Cristina; Maricutoiu, Laurentiu P. – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2022
Students face frequent formal and informal tests, both in the academic context and social life. On each of these occasions, they risk falling short of their own or others' expectations. Facing failure is a psychological challenge, and people can react with defensive strategies, which may have negative consequences. Here we investigated the role of…

Zachary M. Savelson; Kasia Muldner – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: Productive failure (PF) is a learning paradigm that flips the order of instruction: students work on a problem, then receive a lesson. PF increases learning, but less is known about student emotions and collaboration during PF, particularly in a computer science context. Objective: To provide insight on students' emotions…

Fang, Jinjing; Brown, Gavin T. L.; Hamilton, Richard – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: Several attempts have been made to examine students' academic emotions (AEs) in Western contexts, but less is known about how students' self-reported emotions vary over time. Aims: The study aimed to understand Chinese students' emotional responses to academic events and the impact of high-stakes testing on their AEs in the first year…

Corwin, Lisa A.; Ramsey, Michael E.; Vance, Eric A.; Woolner, Elizabeth; Maiden, Stevie; Gustafson, Nina; Harsh, Joseph A. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
The ability to navigate scientific obstacles is widely recognized as a hallmark of a scientific disposition and is one predictor of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics persistence for early-career scientists. However, the development of this competency in undergraduate research has been largely underexplored. This study addresses…

Suto, Irenka; Williamson, Joanna; Ireland, Jo; Macinska, Sylwia – Research Papers in Education, 2023
Errors that occasionally manifest in examination papers and other educational assessment instruments can threaten reliability and validity. For example, a multiple choice question could have two correct response options, or a geography question containing an inaccurate map could be unanswerable. In this paper we explore this oft-neglected element…

Queer crip enrollment patterns describe the unique ways Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and disabled college students enter and persist in higher education. Elevating the voices of 10 queer, mad, mentally ill, neurodivergent and/or disabled (QMMIND) college students, this article highlights queer crip enrollment…

Martin Majcík; Katarína Rozvadská; Tereza Vengrinová; Petr Novotný – Studies in the Education of Adults, 2024
The exit examination from upper-secondary school represents an essential part of the educational trajectory. However, the transition to the labour market or higher education can be complicated by failure. The qualitative study deals with repeatedly unsuccessful students who have struggled to pass the Czech exit exam called the Matura examination.…

Elizabeth R. Peterson; Tanvi Sharma; Amy Bird; Annette M. E. Henderson; Varun Ramgopal; Elaine Reese; Susan M. B. Morton – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background: Many people fear failure and making mistakes. This fear can be transmitted from parents to children, suggesting that parental communication regarding failures and setbacks may play a critical role in shaping a child's perception of mistakes. Aims: In this study, we investigated how everyday parent-child conversations about setbacks…

Shim, Soo Won; Pelaez, Nancy – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Recent emphasis on research competencies in undergraduate biology education means that more students are doing course-based research. Professional research scientists learn from failed research, but undergraduate students who encounter failure in their biology lab research may not always respond in ways that advance their learning. There is a need…

Gutierrez-Aguilar, Olger; Talavera-Mendoza, Fabiola; Chicaña-Huanca, Sandra; Cano-Villafuerte, Sharmila; Sotillo-Velásquez, José Antonio – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2023
The aim of this research has enabled us to establish the influential relationship between factors associated with e-learning, such as individual impact and depression, and the mediating role in psychological distress and computer anxiety related to the fear of failing an academic year in times of COVID-19 in university students at two universities…

Vaughn, Kalif E.; Srivatsa, Neha; Graf, Allyson S. – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2023
Research on praise, in support of a growth mindset, has overwhelmingly focused on children. We explored how praise influences performance in college students. Colleges are often challenged to respond to students' established mindsets in the face of increasingly demanding coursework. Specifically, we examined how fear of failure may alter the…

Jon-Chao Hong; Jhen-Ni Ye; Jian-Hong Ye; Ling-Wen Kung – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Attentional control theory indicates that concentration is considered an important variable that contributes to learning. There are some devices for players to practice their concentration, but there are few virtual reality (VR) designs which can increase the level of difficulty for students to discipline their mental concentration with…

Hall, Amy Cox – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2019
In this practice paper I examine the evaluation of one project and ask whether or not the evaluation failed. I suggest that because I was unaware of the larger connections between the grant agency and the grantee I made tactical errors in the presentation of findings, which resulted in not simply disagreement but anger and resentment. I conclude…
