Purpose: Academic coaching (AC) has gained a significant attention to support student success and achievement in higher education, management and psychology. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of AC literature to identify the top authors, research patterns, hotspots and research topics in the field.…

The relationship between spatial heterogeneity and students' academic performance is a widely researched topic. This study extends the concept of spatial heterogeneity into two categories - allocatable (acquired after birth) and ascribed (determined before birth) - using seating and hometown information as variables in Spatial Durbin Models for…

The attention time of students studying in MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) classroom was analyzed to optimize and further improve their performance. On this basis, a student class model based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) feature extraction was proposed. Through Pr (Adobe Premiere) technology, students' class videos were processed by…

This study examines teachers' perceptions of the influence professional networks have on their sense as teacher leaders for school improvement. The Model for Collaborative Evaluations (MCE) was used to examine the potential for the inclusion of teacher professional networks in school improvement efforts.

Student-centered teaching methods that emphasize active learning in a team setting have garnered much support across higher…

This paper discusses the relationship between multidisciplinarity and research performance in the academic context. The paper explains how scholars' scientific performance is affected by the multidisciplinarity of the network of colleagues with whom they conduct their research. Furthermore, this paper explores the potential moderating role of…

A wide spectrum of rigor exists in systematic literature review methods. This article argues review methods should include both a preliminary discussion justifying where and a secondary protocol explaining how a literature search is conducted. Journal title overlap analysis is one way to justify where a literature search is conducted. A new…

Network models of the WAIS-IV based on regularized partial correlation matrices have been reported to outperform latent variable models based on uncorrected correlation matrices. The present study sought to compare network and latent variable models using both partial and uncorrected correlation matrices with both types of models. The results show…

Literature reviews are required at early stages of a traditional research progression. Many systematic approaches help researchers identify relevant literature. However, there is far less support for interpreting large collections of references. Understanding the evolution of knowledge within a discipline requires an awareness of the collaborative…

Background/Context: Rural districts often struggle to provide organizational structures that support knowledge-building and sharing among educators, contributing to the challenge of change implementation in rural contexts. Although prior scholarship identifies social relationships centered on trust as important for fostering educator learning, we…

Collaboration is the key element of maker movement. Online maker community is a new environment for makers to collaborate with one another voluntarily. This article selected one of the largest open online maker communities in China as the research sample. A total of 1292 postings selected from 19 threads were coded using Schaefer et al.'s (2019,…

Despite the need to prepare engineers for leadership in the workforce, the civil engineering curriculum lacks formal leadership education.
