This study investigated the emotions and perception of effort triggered by various basketball-oriented games: psychomotor game with and without competition, and opposition game with competition. Gender' effect on games with competition was analysed. Sixty-five players (13.52 ± 1.43 years old) from formative teams in Spain participated. The…

The cultivation of perspective-taking ability during adolescence is of significant importance. The school climate (belonging vs. discriminatory) exerts a potential indirect influence on the development of students' individual perspective-taking abilities through school collaborative or competitive behaviors. This study further elucidates this…

The subjective wellbeing of students is a key aspect of their personal and academic development, especially during adolescence, a period in which numerous variables that shape personality and academic performance converge. This study aims to analyse the relationship between empathy and subjective happiness and the possible mediating role of goal…

While peer bullying has become one of the most critical issues that today's education systems must address, the bullying experiences of primary school children and their coping strategies remain insufficiently understood. The present study sought to explore in depth whether mainstream primary school students are exposed to peer bullying and, if…

Some college students may be disengaged when completing assessments for institutional accountability and improvement. If disengagement is not identified and the resulting data are removed, the validity of score interpretations suffers. Using data gathered from students who completed non-consequential assessments for institutional accountability,…

The analysis presented in this report investigates the influence of socioeconomic background, behaviour, neighbourhood context, and family-related characteristics on attainment. Collectively, these dimensions are referred to as demographic factors and behavioural factors and shape the learning environment at home. The home learning environment…

The following tables are presented in this appendix to accompany the full report "The Home Learning Environment and Attainment. Research Report": (1) Summary crosstabulations of FSM and non-FSM pupils by key educational, behavioural and HLE related characteristics; (2) Univariate regression models for L2 and L3 attainment by key…

The use of digital technologies is increasing in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) schools to support futurefocused learning and allow students to gain 21st century skills that can enable them to participate and thrive in a digital future. NZ students have among the highest use of digital technologies in the world, and digital devices present both…

Numerous studies emphasize the impact of community service on college students by pointing out its positive correlations to establishing a sense of belonging among 1st-year students. However, despite many colleges' best efforts, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted the normal college experience. In this study, we utilized a…

Researchers from the Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research at the American Institutes for Research examine two approaches to measuring teacher effectiveness: traditional value-added measures (VAMs) based on test scores and newer measures focusing on non-test outcomes like attendance and behavior. Analysis of data from…

Relational bullying is a prevalent issue in higher education, and students who witness bullying incidents react in prosocial or antisocial ways depending on a complex range of factors.

Goal setting (GS) is regarded as a key component of the forethought phase of self-regulation. Given that self-regulation has been widely recognised as an important contributor to academic outcomes, the present study sought to further explore how GS influences English learning performance (ELP), with learning engagement (LE) considered as a…

Digital traces have been used to measure self-regulated learning (SRL), yet the validity of inferences made about these traces has often been questioned. Recently, researchers have used multiple channels of data -- including digital traces, verbalizations, and self-reports -- to validate inferences about individual SRL events. Research on the…

Student learning agency, encompassing key abilities, essential mental characteristics and active actions, is recognized as a crucial factor for effective teaching and learning in the generative artificial intelligence (AI) era. This study examines the structural relationships among perceptions of generative AI (i.e., effort expectancy, performance…

Hand raising is a key student behavior in everyday teacher--student interactions. Using a longitudinal research design, we explored the stability of hand raising and its directional relations with student learner characteristics over time. We observed students' hand-raising behavior using video-recordings of 376 German high school students taken…
