This study explores the effectiveness of machine learning and eye movement features in predicting Chinese reading proficiency. Unlike previous research, which focused on one or two specific levels of eye movement features, this study integrates passage-, sentence- and word-level eye movement features to predict reading proficiency. By analyzing…

This study explores the influence of digital literacy, parental styles, and background variables on digital game addiction among elementary school students. Given the formative nature of early childhood and the significant role of parental influence, understanding these relationships is essential to promoting healthy digital habits. The sample…

The current research sought to identify important student achievement predictors from past literature, then use a publicly available dataset to assess the statistical contribution of technology factors above and beyond previously established effects. Using TIMSS data from Saudi Arabia, with data from 5,453 students in fourth grade mathematics and…

Student academic success plays an important role in higher education institutions, as it is often used as a core measure of university performance. Internationally, there is an extensive literature on the predictors of academic success. In addition to intellectual variables, the effects of psychological factors have received increased attention.…

Understanding the experiences, perceptions, and barriers of students is critical to address disparities and fostering equity, particularly in the rapidly growing domain of online education. This study explored these factors among undergraduate students from an online math program at a Midwestern University, focusing on factors influencing the…

Accuracy on assessments is commonly studied in education research but response time (RT) is relatively less investigated even though decades of research in cognitive sciences indicate that time can be an important dimension for understanding student learning. To better understand RT and the potentially important relations between accuracy and RT…

Although mask wearing has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become a contentious issue. This is evident in the policy shift regarding mask wearing during the pandemic and the varying mask mandates across different states in the United States. This study investigates the relationship between mask…

School-based testing is often well suited and widely used for monitoring students' academic progress. However, for almost a century, researchers have taken an interest in the potential moderating qualities of testing student's academic achievements on their academic achievements (Jones, 1923; Keys, 1934; Kulp, 1933; Spitzer, 1939; Turney, 1931);…

Using the Visual World Paradigm, the current study aimed to explore whether the mass/count distinction is determined by syntax in Mandarin Chinese, focusing on classified nouns in nominal phrases. By using dual-role classifiers, ontological count and mass nouns, and phrase structures with and without biased syntactic cues we found that the…

The last two decades have seen significant growth in e-Learning in many institutions, with the main growth engine being significant development of technologies providing access to information. These technologies have dramatically changed how societies and individuals communicate. The current study examined whether the paradigm of good teaching…

The present study investigates the mediating role of psychological resilience and personality traits in the relationship between the social isolation process implemented during the pandemic period and the psychological well-being of individuals. The predictive correlational model based on the relational survey method, one of the quantitative…

Statistical learning (SL) approaches to reading maintain that proficient reading requires assimilation of rich statistical regularities in the writing system. Reading skills in developing first-language readers are predicted by individual differences in sensitivity to regularities in mappings from orthography to phonology (O-P) and semantics…

Work-integrated learning (WIL) is an educational approach that aims to support students' integration of theory to practice. These rich learning opportunities provide students with real-world experiences and introduce practice and ethical situations that help consolidate and bridge their knowledge and skill. Academic integrity has been defined as…

Social scientists have developed numerous asset-based wealth indices to assess and target socioeconomic inequalities globally. However, there are no systematic studies of the relative performance of these different measures as proxies for socioeconomic position. In this study, we compare how five asset-based wealth indices--the International…

Chromosomal abnormalities are now considered a common cause of intellectual disability. With increased genetic testing, phenotyping and technological advancements, many new syndromes have been identified. This review sought to explore parental stress and adjustment in the context of rare genetic syndromes to evaluate their clinical impact. A…
