Pierratos, Theodoros; Sotirios, Mandiliotis; Eirini, Dermitzaki – Physics Education, 2022
Teaching of centripetal force in secondary education is a challenging task because of its central role in the circular and rotational motion. The specific equipment needed for experiments that explore the physical law which governs the centripetal force is usually limited in schools. The experiment presented in this paper, is based on a device…

Bianchi, Dora; Morelli, Mara; Baiocco, Roberto; Cattelino, Elena; Laghi, Fiorenzo; Chirumbolo, Antonio – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2019
Online exchange of sexual content ("sexting") is associated with potentially negative consequences, especially for girls. We investigated possible associations between family functioning and girls' sexting. Italian teenage girls (N = 250; M[subscript age] = 16.36 years; SD[subscript age] = 1.88) completed online surveys that evaluated…

Wakjira, Abdalganiy; Bhattacharya, Samit – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2021
Students in the online learning who have other responsibilities of life such as work and family face attrition. Constructing a model of engagement with smallest granule of time has not been implemented widely, but implementing it is important as it allows to uncover more subtle patterns. We built a student engagement prediction model using 9…

Attardi, Stefanie M.; Barbeau, Michele L.; Rogers, Kem A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
An online section of a face-to-face (F2F) undergraduate (bachelor's level) anatomy course with a prosection laboratory was offered in 2013-2014. Lectures for F2F students (353) were broadcast to online students (138) using Blackboard Collaborate (BBC) virtual classroom. Online laboratories were offered using BBC and three-dimensional (3D)…

Gregg, David; Somers, Cheryl Leigh – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
The purpose of this research study was to examine rates, recipients, and predictors of teen sexting. A sample of 314 high school students in an urban area of Southeast Michigan were surveyed. Males were more likely to engage in nearly all forms of sexting. Impulsivity, frequency of electronic communication, peer pressure, peer sexting, and peer…
