Collaborative Learning and Soft Skills Seminar (CLASS) is an innovative pedagogical method for assessing large groups of students within the constraints of a short semester. In this approach, students are organized into teams of four, collaboratively selecting a subject-related topic. Each team delivers a 20-min presentation with 20 slides, with…

Maths anxiety (MA) refers to the negative physical, emotional, and cognitive reactions triggered by maths-related tasks. This study aims to investigate the relationships among student-perceived maths teacher support, maths self-efficacy, academic procrastination, and MA in fifth-grade students, exploring how student-perceived maths teacher support…

Given the widespread presence of competition in educational settings and its complex impact on science learning, how students complete tasks in competitive environments has attracted a wide range of attention. The purpose of this study is to compare students' performance on physics conceptual questions in noncompetitive and competitive…

Author and educator Sarah Kesty offers educators practical tools to teach executive function skills--such as planning, time management, and organization--through classroom strategies, structured lessons, and academic coaching. By integrating these skills into daily routines, teachers can reduce classroom frustration while empowering students to…

This study explores what motivates elementary school teachers to integrate agriculture into their curriculum and instruction. Additionally, it discusses the barriers teachers face to integration and what agricultural organizations can do to assist teachers. This mixed-methods study began with an online survey of teachers who had previously…

Many undergraduates are placed onto academic probation at some point during their enrollment. Prior research findings are mixed on whether and when academic probation affects the likelihood of college graduation. The present study examined the impact of probationary placement on six-year graduation using regression discontinuity analyses overall…

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a self-paced digital working memory (WM) intervention on preschoolers with ADHD symptoms and explore the relation between WM and time perception (TP) through a randomized controlled trial. Method: Fifty preschoolers between four-to-six years of age (M = 4.93 years) were randomly assigned to…

The study aims to analyze visualization as a methodological technique used during lectures in higher educational institutions. An empirical study of visualization as a methodological technique for lectures was conducted using an online questionnaire using the Google forms service. The purpose of the questionnaire was to determine the frequency of…

Traditional item analyses such as classical test theory (CTT) use exam-taker responses to assessment items to approximate their difficulty and discrimination. The increased adoption by educational institutions of electronic assessment platforms (EAPs) provides new avenues for assessment analytics by capturing detailed logs of an exam-taker's…

Social motivation--the psychobiological predisposition for social orienting, seeking social contact, and maintaining social interaction--manifests in early infancy and is hypothesized to be foundational for social communication development in typical and atypical populations. However, the lack of infant social-motivation measures has hindered…

Background: Co-curricular activities are often touted as valuable STEM learning opportunities in higher education settings. Particularly in engineering, industry encourage and seek students with co-curricular experiences. However, many engineering undergraduates do not regularly participate in those experiences. Some researchers have suggested…

This study examined whether individual differences in personality (development) from adolescence to emerging adulthood were associated with burnout and happiness in emerging adulthood. At Time 1 (2009; M[subscript age] = 15.7 years), Time 2 (2012), and Time 3 (2015), Belgian participants (N = 329; 43.1% boys) reported on the personality dimensions…

Screens are becoming omnipresent surfaces inside classrooms, namely through the implementation of personal screens at schools. This implementation reconfigures spatiotemporal organization of lesson activities by introducing specific screen mediated tasks that are majorly conducted individually on screens. By adopting the notion of timescape as an…

Given the prevalence of transfer activity, education stakeholders must understand how transfer may be associated with student outcomes. Such knowledge is critical, as the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn have impacted college enrollment and student transfer behavior. Relying on a sample of 6510 undergraduate students from BPS:12/17 data, we…
