This manuscript outlines the possible benefits of nonconscious behavioural mimicry (NBM) to Physical Education (PE). The identification of NBM as an unexamined phenomenon in PE will be explored, as well as factors mediating its occurrence. Further, this manuscript will discuss the speculated origins of this phenomenon within the human species.…

Increasingly, empathy is a topic of discussion and instruction. Often used as a synonym to describe the socially acceptable and friendly behaviors we want to see more of in our society and specifically among adolescents, empathy is being used as a catchall phrase, confusing efforts to teach people how to choose empathetic behaviors. Adolescents…

The purpose of this article is to describe the results from an investigation of the development of students' attitudes and behaviours conducive to self-directed learning (SDL) in problem-based learning. The article reports the results from an application of a newly validated statistical instrument to measure self-directed learning on bachelor…

This longitudinal study investigates the differences in learners' effortful behaviour over time due to receiving metacognitive help--in the form of on-demand task-related visual analytics. Specifically, learners' interactions (N = 67) with the tasks were tracked during four self-assessment activities, conducted at four discrete points in time,…

To date, most research on sense of belonging in higher education has relied upon between-person correlations (e.g., Murphy and Zirkel in Teach Coll Rec 117(12):1-40, 2015; Ostrove and Long in Rev High Educ 30(4):363-389, 2007). In the current study, first- and continuing-generation college students (N = 280) reported their sense of belonging and…

The purpose of the study is to determine the degree of Internet addiction in engineering students. It takes as a theoretical reference the scale proposed by Young (1998), which establish the criteria and ranges of addiction. The instrument is in Likert format with responses ranging from 1 (rarely) to 5 (always). The participants were 306 students…

The purpose of the present study is to determine the relationship between students' smartphone cyberloafing and their attitudes towards learning and also to reveal their opinions about what teachers can do to prevent smartphone cyberloafing. Within the scope of the study, data was collected from 676 students at the education faculty at Firat…

To explore effective growth mindset intervention that is applicable for the higher education setting, study 1 conducted a systematic review to analyze relevant literature published between 2010 and 2021. We identified 13 papers and synthesized the results of these studies to understand how the intervention was designed, conducted, and evaluated,…

We examined self-directed studying of students in an introductory (Study 1) and upper-level (Study 2) psychology course. Students reported their study behaviors for Exam 1 and 2, and wrote Exam 2 study plans. In both studies, students planned to and ultimately did use more active strategies for Exam 2 than Exam 1. However, they struggled to follow…

Students who have been labeled as having "behaviour problems" in the school system have some of the worst academic and social outcomes of any student group. In most Canadian provinces, responses to students who misbehave are legislated through Safe Schools policies intended to guide districts and individual schools in responding to…

Previous research documents the positive impacts that teacher praise can have on students' behavior in the classroom; positive praise is a reinforcer that improves and maintains appropriate classroom behavior. Identifying current trends in natural rates of praise--praise that occurs in the absence of specific intervention or training--may help…

The Riroriro programme was a response to the needs of children with extremely dysregulated classroom behaviours, resulting from sustained exposure to traumatic high-stress and high-deprivation environments from pre-birth to school age. Evaluation of the accounts of key individuals involved in the pilot found that participants had improved…

This present study aims to investigate factors that impact behavioural intention of university students on e-learning use during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online questionnaire was utilised to gather data from 109 students enrolled in one of the universities in Indonesia. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was the primary framework employed for…

The present pilot study explored the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a multicomponent social narrative intervention to teach behavioral expectations. We conducted a multiple probe design across three children to evaluate the effects of the intervention on student behavior. In addition, we measured the fidelity of teacher implementation…

Entrepreneurship, especially among university students, measuring perception/tendency has been very popular in recent years due to reasons such as the importance of the subject, research applicability, reaching the target audience and relatively low research costs. In this context, it emphasises that the willingness, determination and…
