The goal of the present study was to identify predictive factors related to cyberbullying by using supervised machine learning in a sample of Chinese adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included 2053 (M[subscript age]=16.36 years, SD = 1.14 years; 44.6% boys) adolescents from Fujian province, China. Data on cyberbullying,…

In this study, we compare students' performance in solving mathematics and physics exercises with their confidence level in answering them. Accurate self-assessment of confidence is known to positively correlate with academic achievement, yet confidence is often neglected when designing teaching interventions. The research presented here aimed at…

Objective: We aimed to examine the mediating effect of climate worry on the association between two predictors (frequency of climate change discussion with family and friends and frequency of climate change media exposure) and support for decarbonisation policies among undergraduate and postgraduate students from a public university in Hong Kong.…

As AI tools such as ChatGPT and CoPilot become increasingly common in higher education, universities must reconsider how assessments are designed, monitored, and supported. This small case study investigates how students use AI in online assessments, whether they disclose such use, and how ethical concerns shape their behaviour. Based on a…

Background: The experiences of students and professionals with disabilities are routinely excluded from scholarly and policy debates about equity in engineering. Emergent research suggests that engineering is particularly ableist, yet systematic accounts of the possible exclusion and devaluation faced by engineers with disabilities are largely…

Education acts as an important catalyst for socioeconomic and democratic evolution in society and is a critical tool for building an equitable system. In our paper, we have historicized one of the most important educational policies, viz. Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SAMSA) in India that carries large expectations to minimize the educational divide.…

The awareness and application of the knowledge of Further Mathematics transcends the boundary of Physics as a discipline. The application of further mathematics in physics and vice versa is evident in the curriculum and literature. This study explores the attrition between physics and further-mathematics among senior secondary school students with…

Internationalization continues to be a priority of the education mandate in British Columbia (BC). While there is currently a lack of exploratory studies on international students' (IS) experiences of challenges in their host institutions, little research has examined their experiences from sociocultural context-based standpoints. This study fills…

Using a longitudinal dataset created through the linkage of the 2006 Indigenous Peoples Survey (IPS; formerly called the Aboriginal Peoples Survey) and the 2016 long-form Census, this study examines childhood factors that are associated with the completion of a high school diploma or equivalency certificate or higher among off-reserve First…

This memorandum provides information on Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) course enrollment, exam participation, and exam performance during the 2021-2022 school year in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). The College Board shifted their testing procedures in 2019-2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the…

This dissertation explores Spanish copular verbs, "ser" and "estar" (both 'to be' in English), in pre-adjectival contexts within two Spanish varieties: first-language (L1) Chilean speakers from Santiago (N = 29) and second-language (L2) English-speaking learners studying in Chile (N = 31). Bridging sociolinguistics and second…

Civic learning is an increasingly salient topic in research, policy, and practice. However, the recent empirical evidence on access to civic learning opportunities is limited. We build on prior research using survey items from the 2018 National Assessment of Educational Progress civics assessment and provide descriptive evidence on disparities in…

Due to China's three years of 'Zero COVID' containment policy, the vast majority of vocational and technological education (VTE) high school students could not participate in work-based learning, had to take classes online, and often were isolated from their families. Although the impact of the unprecedented disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic on…

The purpose of this study was to understand how a school-based personalized learning approach can help improve literacy achievement among middle grades students in a rural area. This study followed two cohorts of schools serving students in grades 6-8 in northeast Tennessee for one year each (2018-19 and 2021-22), to assess student and school…

Complexity and uncertainty in the college application process contribute to longstanding racial and socioeconomic disparities in enrollment. We leverage a large-scale experiment that combines an early guarantee of college admission with a proactive nudge, fee waiver, and structural application simplification to test the impacts of emerging…
