Background: The importance of high school completion for jobs and postsecondary opportunities is well- documented. Combined with federal laws where high school graduation rate is a core performance indicator, school systems and states face pressure to actively monitor and assess high school completion. This proposal employs machine learning…

The aim of this study is to examine the intercultural sensitivity levels of teacher candidates using CART analysis and to develop a predictive model using machine learning algorithms. Additionally, this study provides a framework for understanding the relationship between internet usage and intercultural sensitivity. The participants comprised 416…

The pursuit of a master's degree is a significant academic endeavor, one that is influenced by a complex interplay of factors extending beyond traditional academic performance. In this study, we estimate the determinants of timely master's degree completion (i.e., within 3 years) using modern machine learning models such as random forest, decision…

A follow-up of a cluster-randomized trial evaluated the long-term impacts of a scale-up model composed of 10 research-based guidelines grounded in learning trajectories. Two treatment groups received the intervention during the prekindergarten year, and one of these groups received follow-through support in kindergarten and first grade.…

Diversity in engineering, and STEM in general, is essential to address societal challenges, yet women and individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds remain underrepresented. Belonging has shown promise for recruiting and retaining these groups, prompting further exploration. This review investigates the impact of (anticipated) belonging on the…

Many youth experience mental health problems. Schools are an ideal setting to identify, prevent, and intervene in these problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate patterns of student social, emotional, and behavioral risk over time among a community sample of 3rd through 12th grade students and the association of these risk patterns…

This study explores the academic experiences of 14 international students in Thailand and how these experiences reshape their concept of "study." Findings from the interviews show that students modified the concept of study after encountering new experiences of teaching and learning, shifting from viewing learning as an individual,…

The paper explores and assesses, through quantitative research and data analytics models, as to how socio-demographic profile, work, and family responsibilities may be associated with motivational level and educational attainment or course completion rate of learners enrolled in the undergraduate courses of Indira Gandhi National Open University…

This multilevel study examined the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and student perceptions of school climate on academic achievement at the student and school levels. Data used were from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002. The sample included 9,518 students enrolled in 584 public high schools. The results revealed that student-level…

Bringing together research from several lines of inquiry in psychology and education, this paper proposes a conceptual model for understanding how entrenched inequalities embedded within ecological macrosystems play out in the classroom to affect student learning. We consider how implicit teacher beliefs and belief expression affect…

The purpose of this study was to discover factors about first-time freshmen that began at one of the six 4-year universities in the former Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) system, transferred to any other institution after their first year, and graduated with a degree or certificate. These factors would be used with predictive models to identify…

Many youth experience mental health problems. Schools are an ideal setting to identify, prevent, and intervene in these problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate patterns of student social, emotional, and behavioral risk over time among a community sample of 3rd through 12th grade students and the association of these risk patterns…

Objective: To use egocentric network analysis to understand how composition and structure of egonetworks relate to violence victimization among college students. Participants: 697 students from a large southeastern university completed online surveys. Methods: Hierarchical logistic regression analyses assessed the relationship between egocentric…
