There is a paucity of research on the digital literacy of graduate-level students. The study examined whether academic discipline, age, gender, race, parental education, international status, GPA, and self-perceived skills is associated with web-use skills among this population. Hargittai and Hsieh's 27-item Web-use Skills Index was used to…

Expressions of the intent to leave behind something when we die can contain elements of both selflessness and selfishness.

Exploratory factor analyses guided the creation of four literacy and five math instruction composites from teachers' reports of their…

The low level of student success in South Africa is an intractable problem, with levels of success differing between the various groups that make up South African society.

Wells, Laura; Nermo, Magnus; Östberg, Viveca – Health Education & Behavior, 2017
