Melisa Diaz Lema; Melvin Vooren; Marta CannistrĂ ; Chris van Klaveren; Tommaso Agasisti; Ilja Cornelisz – Studies in Higher Education, 2024
Study success in Higher Education is of primary importance in the European policy agenda. Yet, given the diverse educational landscape across countries and institutions, more coordinated action is needed to gain a more solid knowledge of the dropout phenomenon. This study aims to gain a better insight into students' dropout based on an integrated…

Dirk Tempelaar – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background: For over a decade, growth-oriented achievement goal constructs like potential-based goals and personal best goals have remained relatively unnoticed. This empirical study aims to highlight that goal theorists might be limiting themselves by not incorporating potential-based goals into their frameworks. Aims: The primary objective of…

Schoevers, Eveline M.; Kroesbergen, Evelyn H.; Moerbeek, Mirjam; Leseman, Paul P. M. – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Aim: In the current study we aimed to investigate the relation between creativity and mathematical problem solving in the upper grades of elementary school. Methods: To examine how student's levels of general creativity were related to their performance on different types of geometrical problems, a geometry test with diverse problems was…

Spitzer, Markus Wolfgang Hermann; Moeller, Korbinian – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Mastering fractions seems among the most critical mathematical skills for students to acquire in school as fraction understanding significantly predicts later mathematic achievements, but also broader academic and vocational prospects. As such, identifying longitudinal predictors of fraction understanding (e.g., mastery of numbers and…

Wolfs, Zyxcban G.; Boshuizen, Henny P. A.; Brand-Gruwel, Saskia – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2023
In this study, we explored associations between perception of musical features (pitch, tonality, timing, timbre, and loudness), vocal abilities (singing accuracy, melodic achievement, and rhythmic performance), and cognitive levels (reading accuracy and comprehension, grammar, and math) among children ages 6 to 12. Musical perception abilities…

Gubbels, Joyce; Swart, Nicole M.; Groen, Margriet A. – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2020
Previous research on the relationship between students' home and school Information and Communication Technology (ICT) resources and academic performance has shown ambiguous results. The availability of ICT resources at school has been found to be unrelated or negatively related to academic performance, whereas the availability of ICT resources at…

Arikan, Serkan; van de Vijver, Fons J. R.; Yagmur, Kutlay – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2018
We examined Differential Item Functioning (DIF) and the size of cross-cultural performance differences in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 mathematics data before and after application of propensity score matching. The mathematics performance of Indonesian, Turkish, Australian, and Dutch students on released items was…

Eveline L. de Zeeuw; Kees-Jan Kan; Catharina E. M. van Beijsterveldt; Hamdi Mbarek; Jouke-Jan Hottenga; Gareth E. Davies; Michael C. Neale; Conor V. Dolan; Dorret I. Boomsma – npj Science of Learning, 2019
Parental socioeconomic status (SES) is a strong predictor of children's educational achievement (EA), with an increasing effect throughout development. Inequality in educational outcomes between children from different SES backgrounds exists in all Western countries. It has been proposed that a cause of this inequality lies in the interplay…

Jessica Leigh Block – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN) is commonly thought of as one of the best predictors of reading achievement when compared to phonological awareness and letter name knowledge (Norton & Wolf, 2012). However, only one previous study has demonstrated significant growth following a RAN intervention (Vander Stappen & Reybroeck, 2018). This…

Fokkens-Bruinsma, Marjon; Vermue, Carlien; Deinum, Jan-Folkert; van Rooij, Els – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2021
A successful first year is of vital importance to academic achievement in higher education. How can we identify those students at risk at a very early stage, i.e. even before they have entered university? This study focuses on three pre-university factors, namely academic self-efficacy, self-regulated learning, in terms of autonomous motivation…

Vooren, Melvin; Haelermans, Carla; Groot, Wim; van den Brink, Henriette Maassen – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: In this paper, we investigate the predictors for enrollment and success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs in higher education. We develop a sequential logit model in which students enroll in STEM education, may drop out from STEM higher education, or continue studying until they graduate in an STEM…

Bijlsma, Hannah J. E.; Glas, Cees A. W.; Visscher, Adrie J. – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2022
Modern digital technologies enable the efficient collection and processing of student perceptions of teaching quality. However, students' ratings could be confounded by student, teacher, and classroom characteristics. We investigated students' ratings of 26 teachers who used the digital tool Impact! in their mathematics lessons with 14- and…

Sofieke T. Kevenaar; Elsje van Bergen; Albertine J. Oldehinkel; Dorret I. Boomsma; Conor V. Dolan – npj Science of Learning, 2023
The non-cognitive skills self-control and grit are often considered predictors of school performance, but whether this relationship is causal remains unclear. We investigated the causality of this association using a twin design. Specifically, we evaluated the direct impact of self-control and grit on school performance, while controlling for…

Baten, Elke; Desoete, Annemie – European Journal of Psychology and Educational Research, 2021
The role of motivation, temperament, personality and well-being as predicting propensity factors for mathematical abilities was investigated in 30 adults. By embedding these predictors in the Opportunity-Propensity framework, this study aimed to reveal their unique contribution in math development, which is important to improve mathematics…

Fokkens-Bruinsma, M.; Van Rooij, E. C. M.; Canrinus, E. T. – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2020
This study focused on the question of how to enhance a mastery-goal orientation in the classroom. We started from the perspective of the achievement goal theory, which assumes that the goals that students have (personal goals) relate to the goals that are set in the classroom (classroom goal structures). In classrooms where teachers focus on…
