Aim/Purpose: This study investigates the key factors influencing preschool teachers' sustained use of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC) technology in educational settings. While prior research has extensively examined initial adoption, little attention has been given to understanding the continuous intention of preschool teachers…

Despite facing systemic and persistent exclusion from STEM careers, Black and Latine youth show rising STEM aspirations during adolescence under certain conditions. Guided by meaning-making and career development perspectives, this study explores how ethnic-racial identity and career outcome expectations predict STEM aspirations among Black and…

To address the demand for engineers and computer scientists in the workforce, and the fact that some engineering students dropout or change majors, we explored how the motivational climate in an undergraduate computer science (CS) course was related to students' motivational beliefs and academic and career goals. Participants included 310 students…

The present study investigated multilevel models posited to predict student approaches to homework. Participants were 1,072 middle school students in China. Results revealed that deep and surface approaches were positively associated with performance-approach. Furthermore, deep approach to homework was associated negatively with homework cost, yet…

This study aimed to examine multilevel models posited to predict student perceptions of teacher feedback quality. A cross-sectional survey design was used, involving 1072 middle school students. We incorporated two clusters of variables: (a) student characteristics (gender, prior knowledge, parent education, homework expectancy, homework value,…

The learning context, consisting of the school children's families, teachers, and peers, has effect on their mathematics learning. The concern of students' socioeconomic status (SES) affecting negatively their learning outcomes is increasing worldwide. This study investigates whether Finnish elementary school students' SES affects their…

Blended Learning (BL) has been implemented by lecturers in higher educations for promoting effective pedagogical practices. However, intention to use and actual usage of BL by lecturers in higher education seems to be a major setback for successful BL implementation. Therefore, this study developed a model to examine the factors that influences…

During COVID-19 pandemic, Mobile learning (M-learning) was implemented in many universities to continue teaching. Consequently, its use has increased drastically, facing new challenges and benefits. The main aim of this research is to adopt the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Extended Technology (UTAUT-2) to determine the intention of…

To improve postschool outcomes for students with disabilities, research in secondary transition has increasingly aimed to identify in-school experiences that contribute to positive outcomes after high school. Although research on postschool success for this population has recently identified seven new predictors, operational definitions and…

With limited budgets and increasing enrollment demands, colleges need fast, free, and practical solutions supporting academic success and retention. The Academic Reality Check (ARC) tool helps to predict traditional freshmen awareness of their own academic expectations in college quickly, supporting the financial investment being made by all…

Integrating situated expectancy-value and family systems theories, the current study tested the extent to which Latinx adolescents' 9th-grade school-related science conversations with parents and older siblings/cousins positively predicted their 10th-grade science ability self-concepts and task values. We also tested whether these links were…

Home-based parental involvement is widely considered to be associated with early learning outcomes. However, previous research has heavily focused on school-age children and has relied heavily on Western samples. After China relaxed its one-child policy in 2013, the impact on Chinese families became visible. This study analyzes the data of 3272…

The Unified Theory of Technology and Use of Technology (UTAUT) has been widely used in information system studies since its introduction in 2003. The current study synthesizes 40 empirical studies based on UTAUT in educational contexts using the one-stage meta-analytic structural equation modelling method. While the study confirmed the initial…

Students' perceptions of the classroom environment are critical determinants of their motivation and academic success. However, the psychological mechanisms through which these contextual factors influence academic outcomes remain insufficiently explored, particularly in different subject domains. Grounded in the Situated Expectancy-Value Theory,…

This study used the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model to (i) predict factors influencing HE faculty members' acceptance of hybrid instruction and (ii) identify factors influencing the faculty members' behavioural intention to use hybrid instruction. Data were analysed using SPSS 22 and AMOS 23 software. Structural…
