While self-regulated learning (SRL) has become an important paradigm in the field of English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, how adolescent learners utilize SRL strategies in the field of reading remains underexplored. Also largely unknown is the relationship between SRL strategy use and readers' motivational beliefs. To bridge the gaps, the…

This study explores the use of the linguistic landscape (LL) by two recent migrants to New Zealand as a resource for language learning beyond the classroom (LBC) from a socio-cognitive perspective. With a focus on learning Maori, we inquire into these beginner-level language learners' experience of using bilingual public signage as the primary…

This study investigated whether lower secondary school Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teachers' professional development (PD) engagement varied by school context in regard to the proportions of English learners (ELs) and examined the relationship between STEM teachers' PD engagement in teaching for diversity and teacher…

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) self-efficacy refers to students' belief in their ability to succeed in STEM-related tasks. Although parental involvement is known to positively influence students' STEM self-efficacy, the relation between different types of parental involvement (e.g., discussions and activities) and…

With ever-evolving workforce trends and needs, there is an increasing need for educators who can foster multi-disciplinary skills such as creativity, problem solving, and systems thinking in K-12 students. To support this shift, this two-year study examined how engineering and human-centered design course materials, matched with coordinating field…

Background: The delivery of effective, evidence-based early reading instruction depends partially on teachers' knowledge about reading acquisition, development and pedagogy. Research shows that teachers often perform poorly on measures of reading-related knowledge, often cited as one explanation for a gap between reading research and classroom…

Literature circles are a socially supportive context in which students can cultivate their reader identities. This is especially promising for students with lower reader self-efficacies. This qualitative multiple case study explored the positioning practices of four Grades 5-6 students with comparatively low reader self-efficacy. In literature…

Providing students with autonomy over their learning process can support the development of their self-regulation skills. This study aimed to examine the effects of autonomy-support interventions on students' self-regulated learning strategies. The participants were 432 students from three secondary schools in the Netherlands. In each school, a…

The present qualitative study is a part of the process evaluation of a complex intervention, the randomized controlled trial, "Prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV) in a school-based setting." We aimed to explore participating school nurses' perceptions and experiences of delivering the educational HPV intervention to adolescents aged…

This study explores the influence mechanism of perceived servant leadership on innovative behavior among college students in Hebei Province, China, and the chain-mediating role of innovative atmosphere and innovative self-efficacy. This study adopts the questionnaire survey method and the convenience sampling method, and 478 college students are…

Teachers' teaching practices are influenced by various factors, including the teacher's personal (e.g. beliefs, efficacy and attitudes) and school context (e.g. administrative and collegial support). However, the previous model did not consider the interactions between these factors simultaneously in effecting the teaching practices. Thus, an…

Because strong oral communication skills have well-known academic, social, and professional benefits, they are increasingly targeted and reinforced throughout general education programs in higher education. In these efforts, public speaking assignments most often ask students to discuss information they have previously written about (e.g., theses…

K-12 artificial intelligence (AI) education requires cultivating students' computational thinking in the school curriculum so as to transfer their computational thinking to diverse problems and authentic contexts. However, students may be limited by traditional computational thinking development activities because they may have a lower degree of…

The parent quantitative research deals with teaching self-efficacy in primary education in Greece. The research aims to investigate teachers' teaching self-efficacy in primary education in Greece. Specifically, an attempt is made to investigate how primary school teachers evaluate their level of self-efficacy regarding teaching tasks, managing…

This study utilised students' online engagement, digital technology attitude, digital literacy, and self-efficacy theories to develop and test a model connecting these factors within a regional university in Australia. A field survey collected data from 110 first-year students. AMOS 28 was employed for measurement and structural model path…
