Research on self-assessment has overwhelmingly conceptualized it as a product and treated students as a homogeneous group, restraining our understanding of the topic. To address this gap, this study aimed to identify different student profiles based on their self-assessment and to examine how it related to their learning achievement over time.…

Background: Undergraduate teaching assistants (UTAs) are associated with increased student performance and belongingness. Yet, when given a choice, not all students leverage UTA-facilitated opportunities equally. Objective: This study explores motivational and contextual factors that underlie individual differences in students' willingness to…

Learning processes that involve cognitive incongruity are closely tied to emotional experiences such as curiosity or confusion. The present study examined how discovering that a confidently held misconception is incorrect influences emotions and in turn the motivation to seek additional information. We asked 275 preservice teachers to judge if…

This study aims to examine the digital and technological competencies of university students studying at different faculties. In this context, digital and technological competencies of university students were examined based on the comparative relational screening model according to gender, class and academic achievement variables.

Military students face many challenges in the transition from military life to higher education. From psychological, mental health issues, career changes, and difficulties interacting and building relationships, many obstacles can delay or stop a military student's path to degree attainment. This study sought to determine if military students are…

The purpose of this quantitative comparative between-groups study was to assess if and to what extent differences exist in achievement emotions and adaptability between first-generation and second-generation undergraduate college students who transitioned to online courses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic at a higher educational institution in…

This research aims to determine the preschool teacher candidates' lifelong learning tendencies and preschool teacher candidates' opinions about lifelong learning. The study group of this research is first, second, third and fourth grade students of preschool teaching in the primary school education department of a public university in Turkey. A…

Research into second language acquisition (SLA) has shown that individual difference (ID) variables can be strong predictors of language achievement (e.g., Dornyei, 2003; Skehan, 2003). Traditionally, this research conceptualized ID variables as static and monolithic variables (e.g., Dornyei, 2010). More recently scholars have questioned this…

The formation of such self-assessment skills is strongly influenced…

Although social and academic integration are considered significant predictors of academic success, little is known about their longitudinal development. In addition, cross-sectional research indicates differences in the integration process based on the sociodemographic background of students, but lacks longitudinal confirmation, especially in…

This study aimed to investigate the effects of three different learning modes--online, blended, and face-to-face--on student course performance. Performance was measured by achievement (grades). This study compared student grades in classes taught using each of these delivery methods. This study was designed to serve as a foundation for evaluating…

Purpose: The primary aim of the current study is to identify whether there is a significant difference between students' academic achievements and the matching of students' learning styles to the teaching styles of their instructors. Research Methods: This research was designed as a survey study and employing the quantitative research methodology.…

Moreover, high levels of anxiety can lead to significant difficulties with navigating the challenges of college. For students with autism symptomatology,…

Governments have become increasingly concerned with improving the employability of university graduates in recent years, but most existing studies of what graduate employers look for are limited by their reliance on self-reported preferences. This study, which focuses on the UK context, aims to develop our knowledge of the determinants of…

This study aimed to explore the correlation between students' performance in educational statistics and research methods in education, as well as investigate potential differences in performance based on their undergraduate programs. A cross-sectional design was employed, and data was collected from 170 students enrolled in master of philosophy…
