This research focuses on better understanding the nature of pre-service teachers' four-frame leadership orientations. As it is known, the phenomenon of leadership still continues to be a research topic in the field of educational administration. But, these studies carried out on teachers and school administrators. As future teachers and school…

This study aims to determine the relationships between enabling school structure, teachers' social network intentions and the professional learning community. This study used a structural equation modelling approach to investigate the relationships and implemented the appropriate sampling method. Survey data were obtained from 302 teachers working…

Purpose: Cyber bullying is a new phenomenon which adversely affects young people. Exposure to the cyber bullying can negatively affect the mental health. The aim of this study is to examine the predictive effect of self-control on cyber victimization in adolescents. Research Methods: The study group was composed of 353 Turkish secondary school…

This study examines the structural relationship among motivation, deep learning approach, and academic achievement of middle school students in Turkey. Participants were 746 seventh grade and eighth grade students enrolled in public middle schools in Sinop and Ankara, Turkey. Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, Study Process…

The main purpose of the present study is to predict the relationship between motivation , anxiety, perceived satisfaction and Second Life within asynchronous learning environment specifically in EFL course. Data of the present study were collected from undergraduate students - Sudan University of Technology and Science (SUST) in Sudan. The…

Although spending time in criminogenic settings is increasingly recognized as an explanation for adolescent delinquency, little is known about its determinants. The current study aims to examine the extent to which (change in) self-control and (change in) delinquent attitudes relate to (change in) time spent in criminogenic settings, and the…

Purpose: Regarded as an important means of career development, preparation, and transition, career adaptability is a lifelong skill that can enable individuals to overcome 21st-century work--life requirements and challenges. This study aims to investigate the factors contributing career adaptability of high-school students, which pose beneficial…

The aim of this study was to examine the direct and indirect relationship between student school absenteeism, personal factors (academic self- perception, attitudes towards teacher and school, goal valuation and motivation/ self-regulation), family factors (parents' educational level and income), and academic achievement in structural equation…

Problem Statement: Scientists support that success cannot be achieved through schools with a bureaucratic structure in which top-down relation is emphasized but rather with a decentralized structure of authority. Scientists also posit that participative management is the best approach. Participation or participative leadership is defined as…

Illustrates how structural equation modeling can be used to test the multidimensionality of a measure. Using data collected on a multidimensional measure, compares an oblique factor model with a higher order factor model, and shows how the oblique factor model fits the data better. (SLD)

Some problems of multiple-group factor rotation based on the parallel proportional profiles and confactor rotation of R. B. Cattell are described, and several alternative modeling solutions are proposed. Benefits and limitations of the structural-modeling approach to oblique confactor resolution are examined, and opportunities for research are…

A Monte Carlo study is reported that shows the comparative performance of alternative approaches under deviations from their respective assumptions in the case of structural equation models with latent variables with attention restricted to point estimates of model parameters. The conditional polychoric correlations method is shown most robust…

This article presents a straightforward classification system that is a necessary and sufficient condition for identification of the structural component of structural equation models of the block-recursive type with no more than two equations per block. Limitations of other identification techniques are discussed. (SLD)

After reviewing the multiple fit indices in structural equation models, evidence on their behavior is presented through simulation studies in which sample size, estimation method, and model misspecification varied. Two sampling studies, with and without known populations, are presented, and implications for the use of fit indices are discussed.…

Illustrates an approach to modeling educational effectiveness in classrooms by combining multilevel analysis and structural equation modeling in a two-step process. Data from a longitudinal study of 4,558 students in 334 class groups show how progress can be accounted for by the grouping effects of students within classes and schools. (SLD)
