There is a gap in research regarding examination of the relationship between burnout in special education school support staff members and their perception of locus of control (LOC) in their work environment. The purpose of this concurrent nested mixed methods study is to determine if there is a relationship between burnout and locus of control in…

Background: One approach to enhancing the pedagogy of science education is to employ academics who are not only science-trained but also engaged in education research. As some academics begin their Scholarship of Teaching and Learning research careers with a pure science background, shifting in disciplinary perspectives can be a source of…

The background of this research is the inconsistency of the results of previous research about the factors that influence moral disengagement. This study aims to determine the role of critical thinking as a mediator of the influence of internal locus of control on student moral disengagement. The population in this study were 1560 students of the…

Test anxiety is experienced by a substantial number of students in many school subjects, including physical education, and it may be deleterious for their school performance and their well-being.

The variables affecting final-year undergraduate students' career decision-making self-efficacy were explored in a group of 729 students across various departments of an urban university. A structural equation model was used to determine the variables that predicted students' self-efficacy in decision making, with results indicating that perceived…

Historically, most investigations involving stress have assumed its undesirability, and deleterious effects have been identified across a variety of domains. Recently, however, researchers in management and health have differentiated between types of stress, and revealed a more complicated picture as a result. Specifically, stressors perceived as…
