The unequal presence of women in scientific and technological fields compared to men may have its origins partly in the compulsory educational stages and performance of teachers involved therein. This study aims to systematically review the existing literature on science and technology teacher training to address the gender gap in STEM studies,…

Compassion fatigue (CF) undermines teachers' well-being and professional engagement. Previous studies, relying on latent variable theory, overlooked the group heterogeneity and the complexity of CF symptoms. To address this knowledge gap, the latent profile analysis (LPA) and network analysis (NA) were employed to identify the potential profile…

Drawing on the job demands-resources model and conservation of resources theory, this study explored the roles of two types of resources, namely academic buoyancy (a personal resource) and perceived autonomy support (a social resource), and their interactive effect on self-regulated learning (an adaptive outcome), controlling for age, gender, and…

However, this choice can be challenging for many who find it hard to settle on a major that aligns with their academic and professional aspirations, leading to decisions that may not resonate with their…

A collective intelligence factor (CI) was introduced by prior research to characterise the cognitive ability of groups. Surprisingly, individual intelligence did not predict CI. Instead, it correlated with individual social sensitivity, the equality of conversational turn-taking, and the proportion of females in a group. However, these findings…

Intensive services are recommended for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Limited research on service receipt in states with mandated ASD-specific service coverage suggests that it remains low, and factors associated with intensity are unclear. Participants were 206 children from the Boston Outcomes of Autism in Toddlers study…
