The current study aims to examine the association between digital literacy (DL), Internet addiction (IA) and cyberloafing (CL) levels of higher education students in Turkey. In addition, the study examined the correlation between "daily Internet use," "initial Internet usage," and "purpose of Internet use" with the…

Students with disabilities in college and beyond face numerous barriers to seeking out and receiving supportive services or disclosing that they have a disability. Research indicates that they are vulnerable to stigma, lack of support, and discrimination resulting in inequities in educational outcomes. Less is known about the challenges medical…

The qualitative case study explores the experiences and perceptions of elementary school teachers' implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) for behavioral management in their classrooms. The study addresses the increasing issue of behavioral problems affecting instruction and academic outcomes in the classroom. By…

Behavior-change theories reliably explain behavior, but they often lack messaging recommendations to modify behavior. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) could benefit from clear, replicable messaging strategies to target its constructs of attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioral control (PBC) about a behavior (Ajzen, 1991). Habit Theory…

Associations between bullying involvement and academic and behavioral indicators among youth have been established in prior research. However, how perceptions of school climate might moderate the association between bullying participant behaviors (bullying perpetration, assisting, victimization, defending, outsider behavior) and academic and…

A growing body of research has investigated the virtues and complexities of mentoring in sports coaching. Yet, a paucity of research exists to consider 'how' both mentors and mentees come to understand their respective role(s). Attempting to redress this gap in research, the aim of this project was to examine the developmental experiences of…

Interventions that match demands to ability can enhance both academic performance and behavioral performance. However, it is unknown whether the instructional match or subsequent increases in engagement with the instructional material differentially impacts learning. The current study evaluated the effect of task difficulty on on-task behavior and…

Parametric optimization techniques allow building designers to pursue multiple performance objectives, which can benefit the overall design. However, the strategies used by architecture and engineering graduate students when working with optimization tools are unclear, and ineffective computational design procedures may limit their success as…

Student conduct exists as the intersection of student development theory, legal compliance, and institutional policies. While literature in the K-12 and criminal legal system shows the way that policy has a disproportionately negative impact on Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color, there are few studies that do similar work in higher…

We conducted a short subject matter knowledge-based intervention in a quasi-experimental design and explored whether providing health-related subject matter knowledge affects university students' risk perception and their behavioural intentions. We chose the everyday context of using antiperspirants that contain aluminium and focused on the…

Extended school non-attendance, commonly named truancy or school refusal, has over the last decade attracted attention among educational researchers. This article points to a need for theoretical perspectives that can account for the complexity and ambiguity of the phenomenon. The article presents a critical analysis of the research field of…

Recent empirical research shows that air pollution harms student test scores and attendance and increases office discipline referrals. However, the mechanism by which air pollution operates within schools to negatively affect student and teacher outcomes remains largely opaque. The existing literature has primarily focused on the effects of…

The self-perception of pre-service teachers regarding classroom management, and their aspirations for their future selves, can impact their behavior. This qualitative case study examined how pre-service teachers envision themselves in relation to classroom management. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers aspire to be authoritative…

This study aimed to develop a prediction model to classify students based on their academic procrastination tendencies, which were measured and classified as low and high using a self-report tool developed based on the students' assignment submission behaviours logged in the learning management system's database. The students' temporal learning…

This study evaluated the quality and behavior change techniques (BCTs) included in 11 freely available mobile classroom behavior management applications (mCBM apps). We found that mCBM apps included a limited number of BCTs, with an average of 9 of 21 possible BCTs. Consequence-based BCTs like rewards and feedback were common, while…
