The purpose of this research was to investigate the progression outcomes of the June 2020 Key Stage 5 cohort following the completion of their post-16 studies amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary interest was to understand whether students from this cohort had progressed differently compared to the previous pre-pandemic cohort of students and,…

Within the framework of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), basic psychological need satisfaction predicts quality of motivation which in turn predicts study efforts. Although studies focusing on interpersonal differences have repeatedly shown this sequence of relations, only a few have examined its stability at the intra-personal level. In this…

Our study examined young children's pre-academic and social skills in relation to parental locus of control and children's behaviours of ADHD. The participants were parents of 1,502 children from four Chinese kindergartens (M[subscript age] = 4.59, SD = 0.93; Girls: 51.40%). Data on six domains of children's pre-academic and social skills,…

Purpose: Supporting community college transfer students represents a critical strategy for broadening participation in STEM. In addition to being a racially diverse group, students who pursue STEM degrees by way of community college report frequent interests in graduate study and academic careers. Thus, supporting and expanding transfer students'…

Collaborative game-based learning offers opportunities for students to participate in small group learning experiences that foster knowledge sharing, problem solving, and engagement. Student satisfaction with their collaborative experiences plays a pivotal role in shaping positive learning outcomes and is a critical factor in group success during…

This study investigated the relationship between working memory (WM), semantic-encoding (SE) ability, and reading comprehension (RC) within the domain of second language acquisition (L2). 120 L1-Persian EFL learners were placed in three proficiency groups (beginning, intermediate, and advanced) based on their scores on the IELTS test. The…

This study examines the value of SAT Math scores for predicting first-year college math course performance, beyond HSGPA, and across colleges and universities of varying selectivity. Findings demonstrate that SAT Math scores are a highly useful tool for course placement, above and beyond HS grades, and that the validity of scores hold across…

Preschool teachers play a crucial role in facilitating children's cognitive and social-emotional development, and their ability to do so can be influenced by their professional identity. However, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may have impacted the professional identity of preschool teachers, a topic that has been explored by little…

Secondary school students (N = 269) participated in a daylong visual programming course held in a stimulating environment for start-up enterprises. The tasks were application-oriented and partly creative. For example, a wearable device with light-emitting diodes, (ie, LEDs) could be applied to a T-shirt and used for optical messages. Our research…

The importance of constructing mathematical arguments and critiquing the reasoning of others has been emphasized as a key component for deep mathematical understanding. As a result, acknowledging proof as an essential tool to comprehend mathematics at all grade levels has been suggested by many researchers as well as reform initiatives. To do so,…

The objective of this research was to investigate, analyze, and verify the consistency of leadership components in the VUCA world for primary school administrators under the Primary Educational Service Area Office in Thailand's 13th inspection area, based on empirical data. The study involved 8 experts and a sample of 400 school administrators…

Medical simulations allow medical trainees to work within teams to develop their self-regulated learning (SRL) and socially shared regulated learning (SSRL) skills. These skills are imperative in optimizing performance and teamwork and could be reflected in physiological responses given by learners. This study examines how medical trainees'…

Early math experiences predict children's later math abilities and beliefs. However, less is known about longer-term associations between early childhood math experiences and adult math outcomes. The present study examined emerging adults' earliest memories of mathematics and reading experiences, asking whether characteristics of their early…

The study uses the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) algorithm to predict the factors affecting the programming performance (PPE) (low, high) of the students receiving computer programming education. The participants of the study consist of 763 students who received programming education. In the analysis of the data, the…
