A key global trend in initial teacher education is the 'practice turn' where jurisdictions are increasingly mandating that teacher education providers include more 'practicum' time in teacher education programmes. In New Zealand, the Teaching Council's recent revision of accreditation requirements has extended the minimum number of days that…

The self-paced nature of asynchronous online learning (AOL) is recognized as an obstacle that disrupts student success in the learning environment. Without on-time interventions provided by instructors, students find it challenging to use learning strategies tailored to the learning environment, and their use of self-regulated learning (SRL)…

The COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on increasing procrastination of study assignments (academic procrastination) in Islamic Religious Education in Senior High Schools. This occurs because students have low self-regulated learning (SRL), and on the other hand, have high social media intensity. This study aims to examine the relationship between…

For more than a century, numerous studies examined and reported how principals allocated their time. Assuming that differences in selection, participation and satisfaction of tasks by principals resulted in different outcomes, researchers have continued to study principal time use. In 1989, Wimpelberg, Teddlie, and Stringfield indicated a need for…

In this study we characterize student procrastination habits and investigate associations between these habits and student performance on graded course components, student beliefs about their own procrastination behavior, and gender. The procrastination habits of calculus-based introductory physics students are measured via the amount of time…

This study proposes a time management intervention for college students that includes 1) identifying academic deliverables with due dates, 2) preplanning specific study times each week in advance, 3) and sharing the plan with the instructor. Results show a decrease in missing assignments and an increase in course grades even when controlling for…

Quantitative literacy is necessary to keep pace with the exponentially increasing magnitude of biological data and the complexity of statistical tools. However, statistical programming can cause anxiety in new learners and educators alike. In order to produce graduates that are well-prepared for quantitative research, overcoming the initial…

Academic procrastination is widespread among college students, leads to poorer academic performance and has been related to concurrent stress. Because the direction of effects between procrastination and stress is unclear, two longitudinal studies were conducted. Study 1 (n = 454) showed that mid-semester levels of stress were related to end of…

Policymakers and leaders of pre-K systems have little empirical information to guide how they structure the range of technical assistance and support they provide to pre-kindergarten programs. This study sought to understand the work of a range of site support roles in New York City's (NYC) universal pre-kindergarten (pre-K) program. Employing…

IUPAC nomenclature of lower alkanes (1C to 10C) is quite common and digestible. But students face problems remembering and predict IUPAC word-root during IUPAC nomenclature of higher alkanes (C >11). Here in this innovative article, I have tried to focus IUPAC nomenclature of higher alkanes (11C to 90C) through the prediction of IUPAC word root…

School counseling is a dynamic, evolving profession that has shifted throughout the decades to address students' needs in response to societal changes. The American School Counselor Association National Model has been instrumental in outlining the current role of school counselors and the components necessary for comprehensive school counseling…

Higher education administrators are responsible for assisting suspended students with reentry into an institution if a student's suspension appeal is granted. Interventions and retention efforts vary, but one effective method may be faculty/student mentoring. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to assess the effects of structured mentoring…

Integrated writing (i.e., writing from sources) being a complex process, requires various linguistic and cognitive skills interacting with each other in a dynamic way. While recent studies have increasingly documented that writing processes are driven by a suite of cognitive abilities named executive function (EF), their roles in a literacy…

Given the increase in students with learning disabilities entering university, we investigated a broader group--students with a history of reading difficulties (HRD)--who are known to be at risk of academic struggles. We identified the self-reported reading challenges and strategies of university students with HRD (n = 49) and those with no…

The exploratory study combined an online survey and interviews with Australian primary and secondary mathematics teachers to examine their views on "Active, Bodily experience Mathematics learning activities." The research sought to identify teachers' expectations, challenges, and limitation for their implementation. Initial results…
