Previous research has indicated that attitudes influence various factors contributing to scientific achievement. Inadequate performance in science can limit career opportunities, underscoring the importance of comprehending how attitudes towards science can enhance overall scientific achievement. This study explored the mediating effect of…

The mechanisms that translate early childhood education (ECE) programs' initial impacts into longer-term effects are still unknown. Many candidate mediating variables, like cognitive or self-regulation skills, personality traits, or more structural institutional gateways have been proposed. Yet, mediation analyses most often leave much of the…

Academic stereotype threat of Chinese adolescents in vocational education is underexamined.

Media literacy is a critical component for digital citizenship; however, the nature of this relationship and the role of other mediating variables such as digital literacy in this relationship are not empirically tested in various contexts. This paper examined the effect of media literacy on digital citizenship and tested the mediating role of…

Whether recognition memory is mediated by discrete or continuous processes has long been the subject of debate. Deemed "the ignored alternative" by Kellen, Erdfelder, Malmberg, Dubé, and Criss (2016), Luce's (1963) low-threshold model is a discrete model that describes data thought to be indicative of continuous mediation. Kellen et al.…

Largely absent from this work is examination of learner experience of engaging in DA, including the role of emotions in their orientation to the…

Background: Regression Discontinuous Design (RDD) is widely used in educational studies. Through RDD, researchers can obtain unbiased results when Randomized Experimental Design (RED) is inaccessible. Compared to RED, the RDD only requires a cut score variable (continuous) and a cutoff value to assign students to the treatment or control groups.…

Strength-based parenting promotes beneficial outcomes in children's development, including academic achievement. However, few studies have focused on the inner mechanisms underlying the relation between strength-based parenting and students' academic achievement. Guided by life-span development theory, we aimed to examine the mediating role of…

Collaboration enhances conceptual learning with multiple representations. However, learning with multiple representations also involves perceptual learning processes. These often-overlooked learning processes are the target of perceptual trainings, which expose students to short nonverbal tasks so that students can induce visual patterns across…
