This study proposes a mission-oriented framework for funding public research institutions (PRIs). Using a multi-case study approach and focus group interviews, a comprehensive framework was developed and refined. The framework encompasses three main dimensions: funding mechanisms, the amount of government funding, and organizational arrangements…

Purpose: To understand complex expository text, readers often engage in metacognitive comprehension monitoring. Metacognitive monitoring is assumed to rely on basic cognitive abilities (working memory updating, short-term memory, verbal intelligence). These abilities decrease in later adulthood. We thus compared younger and older adults in their…

Successful entrance into specialty training represents a pivotal stage in the careers of medical officers. Selection for entrance into specialty training programs may encompass criteria including research experience, regional exposure, clinical experience, professional achievements, diversity, equity and inclusion factors, and extracurricular…

A lot of attention has been devoted in the last 30 years to understanding nativeness and what has traditionally been called non-nativeness. While many studies have attempted to problematize the dichotomic division between so-called native speakers and non-native speakers, several others have specifically focussed on the language teaching…

Accurate monitoring of performance in problem-solving tasks is an important prerequisite for students' future academic success. A wide variety of interventions aiming to enhance students' monitoring accuracy have been developed, but their effectiveness is not apparent from the individual studies in which they have been examined. This meta-analysis…

Although information related to mathematics achievement and participation are accessible, there is limited data associated with the simultaneous intersections of race and gender as it pertains to mathematics achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which differences were present in overall mathematics achievement by…

This research investigates whether performance-based research funding brings increased performance among the funding non-recipient when compared with the recipients. In addition, this study analyzes whether there are changes in publication patterns among academics to comply with new funding systems. This study analyzes the Brain Korea 21 project…

Early research on online PBL explored student satisfaction, effectiveness, and design. The temporal aspect of online PBL has rarely been addressed.

Methods: This article employs ethnographic methods (focus group, interviews, and video-assisted self-interviews) to…

Fermi problems are real-context estimation tasks that are suitable for introducing open-ended problems in primary school education. To ensure their effective introduction in the classroom, teachers must have adequate proficiency to deal with them. One of the key aspects of problem-solving proficiency is flexibility, but there are few studies on…
