In this study, students' interactions with different learning activities are examined and the relation among learning performance with different interaction patterns, learning performance, self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies and motivation is presented. Learning materials including different kinds of activities are prepared and presented to…

The purpose of this study was to examine the degree to which a specific time-based country experience outside of the subject's native regional cultural cluster, would be able to explain the subject's level of cultural intelligence. Using a sample of 143 subjects, the results suggest individuals who have identified the country within which they…

This study focused on the academic performance and use of disability support services (DSS) of students with different types of disabilities who attend a postsecondary education institution. Findings show different patterns of academic success over four semesters as well as different patterns of DSS usage. Students who requested support from DSS…

A segmentation study is used to partition college students into groups that are more or less likely to adopt tablet technology as a learning tool. Because the college population chosen for study presently relies upon laptop computers as their primary learning device, tablet technology represents a "next step" in technology. Student…

The method of organization in free recall in the form of either clustering or subjective organization is explored in this study. This is just one of the possible forms of retrieval that may be employed. Other possibilities include serial recall, alphabetization, and imagery. To the extent that subjects employ such other strategies, correlations…

In this analysis of the structure of the faculty characterizations of students, the same data was used as in the initial study. An oblique solution was obtained by applying the Promax method of Hendrickson and White to the previous Equamax solution. This yielded 18 factors. From intercorrelations among the factor axes, a principal axes procedure…

The structure of characterizations of college students by faculty members, particularly observable and significant dimensions or trait patterns, were investigated. Student ratings by faculty members on 80 bi-polar traits, together with Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores and high school and college freshman average grades, were obtained.…

This report, a continuation of the study described in TM 000 174 and TM 000 176, employs identical data and similar methods to determine the nature of desirability separate and apart from the rater's perception of the student's academic performance (rather than his actual performance). The results show an absorption in the faculty perception of…
