This quantitative study was conducted to determine (a) if there was a difference in collective teacher efficacy beliefs of teachers who taught in high-performing schools and low-performing schools and (b) which enabling condition fostering those beliefs had the most significant impact. Data was acquired from teachers regarding their perceptions of…

Background: Dashboards play a prominent role in learning analytics (LA) research. In collaboration activities, dashboards can show traces of team participation. They are often evaluated based on students' perceived satisfaction and engagement with the dashboard. However, there is a notable methodological gap in understanding how these dashboards…

Self-regulation of learning (SRL) is an essential ability for academic success in multiple educational contexts, including programming education. However, understanding how students regulate themselves during programming learning is still limited. This exploratory research aimed to investigate the regulatory strategies externalized by 51 students…

Academic underachievement refers to school performance which falls below expectations. Focusing on the pivotal first stage of education, we explored a quantitative measure of underachievement using genomically predicted achievement delta (GPA[delta]), which reflects the difference between observed and expected achievement predicted by genome-wide…

Although assessments are a staple feature in education, student voices tend to be undervalued throughout the process. While students are a major stakeholder, this study adopted a mixed-methods strategy to examine the views of tertiary students on assessment types with regards to their preferences, self-rated performance and perceived…

The testing effect occurs when a person's memory performance is enhanced by previous tests. The current studies examined the performance effects of a classroom testing procedure on high and low performing students and their transfer of learning. Hypotheses: We predicted testing in the classroom would lead to a testing effect and transfer of…

This paper studies mathematics learning gaps within Indian children at two points in time. Dividing them into two groups, better performing and the rest, we investigate the causes of the difference in the average learning gap between them at those two points. We explore this question using the threefold Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition at these survey…

Wayfinding, which is a part of learning in connectivist learning, involves consolidating a wide variety of resources and information and building connections among them. However, learners often encounter difficulties in wayfinding, and are lost without technological support in connectivist learning. This study examined the wayfinding processes…

Socio-emotional interaction is considered a crucial factor that may affect the effectiveness and efficiency of collaborative argumentation and deserves further exploration. This study explored what temporal and sequential patterns of socio-emotional interaction could promote or hinder productive collaborative argumentation by comparing the…

Based on the 2016 Progress in International Reading Literacy Research (PIRLS) data, this study determined the contextual characteristics that distinguished Moroccan fourth-grade kids with high- and low-achieving reading abilities. The PIRLS 2016 public dataset included 5446 Moroccan pupils, with 1545 scoring well and 3901 doing poorly on the…

Background and Aims: Individuals often consider the relative desirabilities of two types of educational methods: those oriented towards teacher guidance and those oriented towards student activity. This study examined whether the optimal methods perceived by individuals differ when they take the perspective of learners or instructors with low or…

We collected data on students' self-assessment behavior from four sections of a Calculus II course. Students were asked to write their expected scores on each of the weekly in-class quizzes and problems in the exams, immediately after they completed them. They were then asked to justify their expectation in writing. One-on-one interviews were…

Background/purpose: This study aims to reveal in detail the extent to which the variables in The Primary and Secondary Education Institutions Scholarship Examination (PSEISE) predict the success of students on the scholarship exam with the help of artificial neural networks (ANN). In addition, in light of the findings obtained as a result of the…

Collaborative argumentation (CA) is a prolific but challenging form of collaborative learning that requires group members to engage in a quantity of regulation to sustain the group's productive functioning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between the high- and low-performing CA groups in terms of (a) challenges and…

Student self-assessment surveys were utilized to look at student study habits in several areas. Both self-reported study time and study methods were explored. Surveys were given to students after they received their graded exams. In a comparison with the federal definition for a credit hour (2 hours outside of class for each hour spent in class),…
