In this research work, an action procedure was developed that interferes with improving the cognitive and behavioral state in the classroom through all subjects in the face of disruptive behaviors. Although our research is based on the different intervention models developed in various behavioral and constructivist learning theories and their…

Novel and unpredictable learning environments are a feature of school-to-college transitions that erode students' academic control, emotional resilience, and achievement (Perry, Hall, & Ruthig, 2005). Although motivation interventions can benefit college students (Koenka, 2020), few studies have examined treatment efficacy for students of…

The study investigated the interaction effect gender on academic procrastination and achievement orientation among in-school adolescents. The study adopted a pretest posttest non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design with a population of 804 SS II students (518 female and 286 males). The sample size of 129 SS II students from Udenu…

High school students often encounter a range of challenges related to adolescence, future career uncertainty, family expectations, and societal pressures to succeed and excel. Addressing these issues requires targeted psychological support, particularly in enhancing academic self-efficacy (SE) and reducing pessimistic tendencies -- two constructs…

Approximately 10% of U.S. children are diagnosed with ADHD, and the majority of them retain clinical levels of ADHD symptoms as an adult. Among them, comorbidities are often observed, which can negatively impact a broad range of their everyday life including social, emotional, behavioral, and academic/work functioning. A first-line treatment…

Mental health of undergraduate students is receiving more attention because of the increase in the prevalence and intensity of psychological distress. Our aim is to verify the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioural counselling service in reducing psychological distress and improving academic self-efficacy in a sample of 124 students (57% above…

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have recently proliferated among schools. Although MBIs show much promise in alleviating mental distress, their increase in school settings may outpace the evidence base for such implementation. In the present literature review, we define the different types of MBIs implemented in school settings:…

This author conducted a comprehensive literature review that examined the associations of mindfulness, resilience, academic indicators, and test anxiety in school-aged pupils from the perspective of a beginning school psychologist. This comprehensive literature review aimed to investigate how mindfulness, resilience, academic indicators and…

Background/purpose: This research aims to examine the effect of a Cognitive-Behavioral Coaching (CBC) model on the academic performance of adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to analyze the relationship between academic performance, self-esteem, and relationship with parents. Materials/methods: The sample comprised…

As the adults battle the COVID-19 pandemic's effects, children are also dealing with its fallout. In addition to the health effects, since March 2020, the pandemic has caused long-term school closure, which forced school-aged youth to deal with the stress of social isolation; moreover, since youth have returned to school, there has been an uptick…

Current literature and research demonstrates that learning multiple languages allows for young learners to develop higher levels of executive functioning skills. Research also suggests that Dual Language Learners (DLLs) can surpass monolinguals in these executive functioning skills. Yet, there is a dearth of literature that explicitly discusses…

The role of affective and cognitive factors in learning have long been recognised as imperative determinants of the learning process. Maladaptive styles with which we perceive and explain accomplishments and failures in achievement outcomes have an important motivational impact upon approach and avoidance behaviours towards academic tasks.…

Improving academic grades within the core areas of English, Science and Mathematics has had a lot of previous research interest, but research has tended to mostly focus on students who are failing, non-athletically talented students or student athletes at collegiate level. The particular needs of athletically talented secondary school students who…

Achievement emotions are critical because of their impact on success and failure in important domains such as learning. These emotions may be modified via emotion regulation (ER). The dominant process model of ER (PMER) proposed by J. Gross, however, provides a domain-general account of ER strategies and has not had substantial contact with…

Objective: The current study reports functional outcomes from a multi-site randomized trial of a cognitive-behavioral treatment program for college students diagnosed with ADHD. Methods: A sample of emerging adults (N = 250; ages 18 to 30) currently attending college were comprehensively evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD (M age = 19.7; 66% female,…
