The current study examines teachers'…

The investigation of students' conceptions of knowledge of mathematics and the process of knowing mathematics is important to provide an understanding of the phenomena behind students' performance. However, there is a scarcity of empirical investigation of students' beliefs about mathematics knowledge in the Indonesian context. This study aims to…

The reading literacy skills of Australian adolescents, as measured in successive PISA waves, have declined since 2000. Literacy achievement is not low by international standards, but it is lower in Australia than it is in Anglophone countries with which we compare ourselves, e.g. Canada. Using PISA 2018 and PIRLS 2021 data, we investigated both…

Research shows a decline in U.S. adolescent mental health over several decades. It also suggests that higher levels of life satisfaction lead to better mental health outcomes in this population. The purpose of this study was to investigate correlations between adolescent life satisfaction and eight developmental attributes that can be fostered by…

Digital transformations within educational systems are recurrently justified by their promise to enhance learning activities and outcomes. We examine this claim in a study of pupils' perception and experiences with computer-based adaptive tests in higher classes in Danish public primary schools. The study relies on survey and interview data and…

Leadership behavior of classroom teachers has a significant impact on students' academic success. However, little empirical research on this subject has been undertaken in China. By developing truth tables and doing necessary computations, this study examines the influence of differential combinations of parameters connected to class teachers'…
