Children engage cognitive control reactively when they encounter conflicts; however, they can also resolve conflicts proactively. Recent studies have begun to clarify the mechanisms that support the use of proactive control in children; nonetheless, sufficient knowledge has not been accumulated regarding these mechanisms. Using behavioral and…

The study aims to contribute to knowledge of children's views on their space to fend for themselves at a time in their lives when they face change and decreased institutional care, i.e. in the transition from organized to unorganized after-school activities. The study builds on interviews with 22 children who are about to leave or change…

Recent research shows that 20% of children face a form of chronic illness during childhood. The illness and its associated physical and mental challenges can affect such children's 'being' and influence how they develop as people. A significant aspect of a child's life that can be profoundly influenced by a chronic illness is education. This study…

The Documentation and Information Department of all Libyan universities is working on developing the university's website to suit all users with their different experiences and ways of interacting, so it is necessary to test the ease of use of these sites. That is why the researcher seeks to evaluate and compare his performance of these sites and…

When teachers collaborate, they amass collective expertise and develop pedagogical content knowledge. Teacher collaboration is often a school priority because of its positive impact on student achievement, teacher efficacy, and teacher satisfaction. Schools also have complex systems in place that impact the effectiveness of teacher collaboration.…

Critics of developmental studies suggest that remedial courses may negatively influence a student's program selection, persistence, and completion because remedial classes do not count toward graduation requirements (Long & Boatman, 2013). They have also found that over half of the students referred to remediation do not complete the courses…

This study examined Carroll's Model of School Learning (MSL) on adult basic education (ABE). The study's central question was, "Does Carroll's MSL account for additional variance in TABE 11 or 12 scores beyond instructional time after controlling for age?" A non-experimental cross-sectional design was employed to explore the fiscal year…

Research on college outcomes is often disaggregated by ethnicity or race of students. Common classifications of race and ethnicity include Asian, Black, Hispanic, White, and other (Shapiro et al., 2017). One group absent from this list is Multiracial (a person having parents of two or more races) students. While Multiracial students are mentioned…

Confirmative evaluation is often noted as an important element of models of Human Performance Technology and Performance Improvement, but there exists confusion around what is and what is not confirmative evaluation. A significant issue limiting the use of confirmative evaluation is the Performance Improvement field's inability to clearly classify…

Neuroplasticity, defined as the brain's "potential" to change in response to its environment, has been extensively studied at the cellular and molecular levels. Work in animal models suggests that stimulation to the ventral tegmental area (VTA) enhances plasticity, and that myelination constrains plasticity. Little is known, however,…

Critiquing the notion of time as consistent, linear, and calculable, the author calls upon social studies teachers to rethink and expand how we teach with and about time. In this article, the author seeks to challenge readers' presupposed notions of time as a temporal form of measurement with other temporal ontologies--the constellation of beliefs…

Well-being plays a crucial role in the completion of PhD studies. However, recent research suggests that the components of universities' environment affect PhD students' well-being differently, resulting in various outcomes. This research explores the well-being of PhD students, constructed as a series of latent profiles, and assesses their…

The imagination effect occurs when learners who imagine a procedure perform better on a subsequent test than learners who study it. The present study explored whether this effect is restricted to short-term learning or whether it also applies when learning is tested after a delay. Forty novices and forty experts learned about a basketball game…

A dissertation research proposal is more than just a document that represents the foundation of a doctoral candidate's research journey. It is essential to communicate the study's intent to be undertaken and to gain approval from an academic committee. The present analysis provides a systematic approach to writing a dissertation proposal, offering…

This study explored the relationship between personality traits and academic achievement in a diverse sample of undergraduate students at a minority-serving institution. Utilizing the self-regulated learning framework, we examined how conscientiousness, procrastination, and two dimensions of perfectionism (personal standards and evaluative…
