Eryilmaz, Nurullah – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021
Research is a concrete action in academia which has uplifted societies' prosperity. Although researchers have given particular attention to student perceptions about what research is in a higher education context, little attention has been given to secondary school students' perceptions about this issue. To fill this gap, Yeoman et al. (2016)…

Nguyen-Newby, Thuyuyen H.; Fraser, Barry J. – Learning Environments Research, 2021
Research on learning environments at the higher-education level has been quite sparse compared with studies at other educational levels. Because statistics is perceived as a difficult subject across disciplines, it suffers from low passing rates in many universities. This study involved validating questionnaires for assessing the psychosocial…

Webb, Rob; Watson, Duncan; Cook, Steve; Arico, Fabio – Studies in Higher Education, 2017
Using as a starting point in the recent work of Mountford-Zimdars et al., the authors analyse attitudes towards expanding higher education (HE) opportunities in the UK. The authors propose that the approach of Mountford-Zimdars et al. is flawed not only in its adoption of a multivariate logistic regression but also in its interpretation of…
