This study was conducted with a total of 1496 students in 8 secondary schools in Istanbul and examines the personal, motivational, volitional, and contextual factors that influence homework procrastination behavior. Hierarchical linear analysis was used to analyze student-level and class-level data. Results indicated that conscientiousness was the…

This study investigates the efficacy of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with elearning methodologies within the context of automotive vocational education at a state university in Indonesia. Employing Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM), we analyzed data collected from 80 undergraduate students enrolled in an automotive…

A wide range of skills are required of K-12 (kindergarten through Grade 12) teachers and staff in order to facilitate effective education. Although employer surveys, expert ratings, and empirical research such as predictive validity studies provide valuable insights into these skills, online job advertisements may offer additional critical data.…

This meta-analysis investigated the extent to which relative metacomprehension accuracy can be increased by interventions that aim to support learners' use of situation-model cues as a basis for judging their text comprehension. These interventions were delayed-summary writing, delayed-keywords listing, delayed-diagram completion, self-explaining,…

A firm's expectation about the future business cycle is an important determinant of the decision to train apprentices, especially as German firms typically offer apprenticeships to either fill future skilled worker positions, or as a substitute for other types of labor.

Secrets play a powerful role in human social relationships. Here, we examine the developmental trajectory of 3- to 10-year-old children's (N = 630) expectations about (a) how relationships impact whether people will keep secrets, and (b) how relationships are impacted when a confidee keeps versus tells a confider's secret. Sophisticated…

Students beginning college bring a variety of technologies to campus and have varied expectations as to what the college will or should provide. This research seeks to discover the technology students own, expect,…

Computer simulation can be used to demonstrate why the unbiased sample variance uses degrees of freedom (n-1). This is first demonstrated for sampling from a normal random variable, and in additional simulations for some selected non-normal random variables, namely, chi-square and binomial.

People frequently need to cooperate despite having strong self-serving motives. In the current study, pairs of 5- and 7-year-olds (N = 160) faced a one-shot coordination problem: To benefit, children had to choose the same of 3 reward divisions. They could not communicate or see each other and thus had to accurately predict each other's choices to…

As a result of declining funding, colleges and universities have become more reliant on private philanthropic support to ensure they continue to meet their institutional missions.
