Many students in higher education seek support with academic writing by engaging in literacy brokering, defined as third-party interventions in the creation of academic texts (Lillis & Curry, 2010). Such interventions may take many forms, from illicit practices such as purchasing a paper (see Newton & Lang, 2016) to innocuous practices…

Academic integrity constitutes a cornerstone of higher education, epitomising values such as honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. However, breaches in academic integrity persist among nursing students. Current responses to breaches predominantly adopt reactive and punitive measures, lacking proactive initiatives that cultivate…

Purpose: The agricultural sector is facing a myriad of financial, environmental, social, and cultural challenges which affect the mental health of those working on-farm. This study focused on a tertiary education programme designed to increase recognition of mental health issues and convey strategies to address these. Methodology: To identify the…

Objective: To understand barriers to seeking post-sexual assault services for students of color and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) students. Methods: Qualitative interviews about campus and community resources for sexual and relationship violence were conducted with 29 undergraduate and graduate students who…

This research investigates the correlation between online self-regulation (OSR) and in class co-regulation (CR) within a flipped EFL (English as a Foreign Language) writing classroom. Employing a mixed methods approach, the study amalgamates descriptive and correlational quantitative data with qualitative interview data. Participants consisted of…

The number of college students experiencing mental health related concerns has increased each year, yet two-thirds do not seek help. Compared to students who use counseling, students who need but do not receive help have poorer academic outcomes. On-campus college counseling centers are valuable resource that benefits student well-being, including…

Despite the increasing use of the self-regulated learning process in the smart learning environment, understanding the concepts from a theoretical perspective and empirical evidence are limited. This study used a systematic review to explore models, design tools, support approaches, and empirical research on the self-regulated learning process in…

Instructors' actions in the classroom matter; what the instructor does and says can impact students' attitudes about the course and learning approaches, which can in turn impact the quality of their learning. This study examines the relationships among instructor openness to student questions, student help-seeking behavior, and student final grade…

This research examines the student perceived characteristics informing a student's choice in deciding to approach or not to approach a teacher in a university setting. Semi-structured interviews gathered perceptions from 10 final semester undergraduate students at a Pakistani university. 12 teachers were discussed in the data clearly demarcating 7…

This study investigated whether basic mathematics skills are associated with undergraduate psychology statistics course performance while simultaneously considering self-reported psychological/behavioral and demographic variables. Participants (n = 460) completed a Math Assessment for College Students (MACS), which included questions ranging from…

Help-seeking is an essential tool for student success. Still, students, especially those underrepresented in STEM (UR-STEM) and those underrepresented in chemistry (UR-Chem), may be reluctant to employ help-seeking for academic success. Understanding help-seeking in online courses is crucial for developing equitable learning environments where…

In light of the backdrop of change processes within the education system in recent years, including the enlarging of school boundaries and parents' increasing involvement in school life, this study aspired to understand how parents perceive parent--teacher relations alongside their self-efficacy as influencing their help-seeking from teachers in…

Non-academic characteristics and traits, such as academic self-efficacy and conscientiousness, have maintained the interest of higher education researchers for decades. A considerable amount of research has found that these non-cognitive variables (NCVs) are generally predictive of undergraduate success. However, most prior studies have focused on…

A virtual learning environment (VLE) is a web-based platform that allows students to learn at a personally defined place, time and pace. However, most students are lacking in the self-regulation skills and metacognitive abilities to take advantage of the flexibility and high learners' control available in VLEs. The purpose of the study was to…

Response time has been used as an important predictor of student performance in various models. Much of this work is based on the hypothesis that if students respond to a problem step too quickly or too slowly, they are most likely to be unsuccessful in that step. However, something that is less explored is that students may cycle through…
