Entity mindsets position the attribute as unchangeable or static, whereas incremental mindsets see the attribute as malleable or capable of being changed/improved (Dweck & Leggett, 1988). The present studies examined a new questionnaire designed to…

Academic procrastination has been a subject of particular interest in research due to its frequent association with heightened levels of anxiety, stress, and the long-term risk of emotional and behavioural vulnerability (Hoge et al., 2013). Our study tests the correlation between motivational persistence as a trait and academic procrastination, as…

This study investigates to what extent there is an association between students' self-reported perceptions of online learning and observed online learning behaviors recorded by the learning analytic data. The participants were 319 undergraduates studying an engineering course in an Australian university. Data analyses were conducted using cluster…

Behavioral records collected through course assessments, peer assignments, and programming assignments in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide multiple views about a student's study style. Study behavior is correlated with whether or not the student can get a certificate or drop out from a course. It is of predominant importance to identify…

These factors were studied with 128 undergraduates of high and low…
