University students are often depicted as carefree young adults; however, many students struggle to manage the "normal" stresses of university life and may experience high rates of psychological distress. This study compared a traditional delivery model to a shorter delivery model (i.e., the Southern Cross Model) in terms of students'…

Traffic incidents caused by vehicular crashes, roadway construction, disabled and abandoned vehicles, extreme weather conditions, and planned special events, comprise about half of all traffic congestion. As the duration of traffic incidents increases, it increases the probability of severe congestion, secondary crashes, traveler delay, travel…

In Spring 2020, colleges across the nation swiftly transitioned their operations--including both classes and student support services--to remote delivery on an emergency basis in response to the crisis posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. While prior research has documented that the transition was associated with decrements in student outcomes, there…

How does one assess developmental change when the measures themselves change with development? Most developmental studies of word learning use either looking (infants) or pointing (preschoolers and older). With little empirical evidence of the relationship between the two measures, developmental change is difficult to assess. This paper analyzes…

How might historians of education bring joy to their work and make our scholarship of use to the world? This article suggests returning to Welland Hendrick's 1909 "A Joysome History of Education." This minor but well-circulated text uses humour and irony to poke fun at some of the more obtuse, sacrosanct, and self-righteous aspects of…

This study aimed to develop a prediction model to classify students based on their academic procrastination tendencies, which were measured and classified as low and high using a self-report tool developed based on the students' assignment submission behaviours logged in the learning management system's database. The students' temporal learning…

The pervasive nature of media multitasking in the last fifteen years has sparked extensive research, revealing a nuanced but predominantly negative association with executive function. Given the cognitive demands and technological landscape of the modern battlefield, there is a critical interest in understanding how these findings may or may not…

Online education has the potential to remove barriers and increase access to higher education, but previous studies have revealed mixed results regarding the effect of online enrollment on college students' academic outcomes. This study leverages novel administrative data and a fuzzy regression discontinuity design to examine the impact of online…

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the time traps teachers fall into during the teaching-learning process. The sample consists of 234 final-year students continuing their education at the Faculty of Education in the first implementation and 233 pedagogical formation students in the second implementation.…

Substantial research has explored the connection between children's spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and their current and later mathematical achievement. However, the findings have been inconsistent, and no comprehensive investigation has yet been conducted. This meta-analysis examines the relation between SFON and mathematics…

Although self-regulation (SR) has long been seen as an important educational concept, we know little about how to foster it in higher education online student populations. This research addresses this need by introducing an SR intervention into a preservice teacher course. The 30 students who participated used an intervention consisting of weekly…

Introduction: Knowing who we are and what we are living for helps us to better adjust in everyday life and confront negative life events, especially for adolescents who are going through critical developmental periods when changes in life could bring both psychopathology risk yet opportunity to achieve a better self. The current study focused on…

Introduction: Bullying and cyberbullying undermine the identity of the young people who suffer them. This multidimensional phenomenon takes place within the peer group, in different interaction settings, outside the classroom contexts. It also presents various risk factors related to leisure spaces and activities, which in many cases have a high…

Purpose: As different countries are witnessing a surge in online course enrollments, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of different stressors and strains on the continuity of online classes for understanding learner behavior. While extroverts are more talkative, sociable and open than introverts, it is necessary to understand the…

Background: Closing the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines is essential for achieving social equity and advancing innovation and socioeconomic development, as outlined in the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. Despite notable progress, persistent stereotypes continue to restrict women's…
