We examined stigma towards vignette characters representing diverse autistic characteristics (social, non-speaking, or repetitive interests or restricted behaviors; RIRB) among 259 South Korean and 240 American participants (age range = 18 [approximately] 74). Within each domain, participants were randomized to read a vignette depicting low or…

This present work uses artificial neural networks (ANNs) to examine the association between various dimensions of coaching leadership and turnover Intention. The coaching leadership data were collected from 194 employees across multiple schools in Korea. The ANN models are capable of higher predictive accuracy than conventional linear regression…

The main purpose of this study was to explore major factors at student and teacher/school levels affecting middle-school students' science self-efficacy among countries with high science academic performance levels in PISA 2015 data by using various regression algorithms of machine learning and multilevel latent profile analysis (MLPA). Out of…

We consider the problem of assessing the changing performance levels of individual students as they go through online courses. This student performance modeling problem is a critical step for building adaptive online teaching systems. Specifically, we conduct a study of how to utilize various types and large amounts of log data from earlier…

This study aims to identify early childhood sociability trajectories and examine their longitudinal associations with behavior problems. Using a population-based data set presented by the Panel Study on Korean Children, sociability trajectories from age 2 to age 4 were identified by latent class growth analysis. Associations between sociability…

Although increasing evidence has demonstrated the benefits of mobile technology in diverse aspects of language learning, research on the use of mobiles in task-based instruction has been scarce. Particularly, there has been little research directly investigating predictors of the quality of mobile-assisted, video-making tasks. To fill the gap and…

Although gender ideologies influence many outcomes, research shows they often fluctuate across the life course. Family structure transitions are one mechanism through which gender ideologies change. Divorced and single adults report more egalitarian ideologies than stably married adults. Little research has examined whether children in these…

An article by Kim et al. from 2014 examined individual- and school-level variables affecting the information and communication technology (ICT) literacy level of Korean elementary school students, finding differential gender effects. In this secondary data replication, we used data from the 2018 International Computer and Information Literacy…

Art therapy students' art practice might influence professional identity and career commitment. Art therapy graduate students (n = 202) in South Korea participated in a survey. This study introduces the Art Practice Scale and associated exploratory factor analysis, which identified 2 subvariables: art competency and attitude toward artwork. The…

This empirical study uses a random forest algorithm to examine the factors that influence learners' persistence in online learning at a prominent Korean institution. The data were collected from students who began their studies in Spring 2021, and encompassed a range of variables including individual attributes, academic engagement, academic…

Parents' beliefs about the nature of ability are communicated to their children through parent-child interactions. Parental mindsets are one of the parental beliefs that have received increasing attention over recent years. However, their role in children's motivation and achievement outcomes remains relatively underexplored. Moreover, most…

Background: Individuals pursue teaching careers for numerous reasons, such as for instrumental or prosocial purposes. Aims: This study examined the personal (instrumental motivation) and social (prosocial motivation) utility of teaching as predictors of teaching quality in terms of clarity of instruction, classroom management, and cognitive…
