The extent to which intern students majoring in traditional Chinese medicine, potential future primary care physicians, experience compassion fatigue remains unclear. The study aimed to investigate the incidence, severity, and related factors of compassion fatigue among intern students majoring in traditional Chinese medicine. An cross-sectional…

Chinese first-generation college students (FGCS) experience cultural challenges. We developed a framework for analyzing the content of interviews with 20 Chinese FGCS in three college stages. In the input stage, narrow family perceptions misled the FGCS college goals, manifested as unrealistic visions or negative attitudes. In the shallow college…

The study examined the influence of gender variables, as a predictor and moderator of adolescents' civic engagement. The gender variables were operationalized as student's gender, as well as their personal and family gender equality stereotypes and teacher gender tolerance, while civic engagement was operationalized via prosocial behavior,…

Priming incoming and second-year college students with questions about effort prior to completing low-stakes assessments has increased test-taking effort. We extended this research by randomly assigning college seniors to one of three priming conditions prior to completing low-stakes assessments: answering three questions about intended effort…

Although social justice orientation is key to fostering inclusiveness in countries with long histories of immigration, few studies have empirically investigated its impact on attitudes toward immigrants in South Korea (hereafter Korea), an emerging multicultural society. This study examined the relationship between Korean students' social justice…

Aim: This study employed a three-wave random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) to investigate whether a reciprocal relationship exists between perceived peer relationships (intimacy and conflict) and achievement motivation in math and English in the Chinese context. Samples: A total of 4040 high school students were tracked with their…

The goal of the present study was to identify predictive factors related to cyberbullying by using supervised machine learning in a sample of Chinese adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included 2053 (M[subscript age]=16.36 years, SD = 1.14 years; 44.6% boys) adolescents from Fujian province, China. Data on cyberbullying,…

In this study, we compare students' performance in solving mathematics and physics exercises with their confidence level in answering them. Accurate self-assessment of confidence is known to positively correlate with academic achievement, yet confidence is often neglected when designing teaching interventions. The research presented here aimed at…

Objective: We aimed to examine the mediating effect of climate worry on the association between two predictors (frequency of climate change discussion with family and friends and frequency of climate change media exposure) and support for decarbonisation policies among undergraduate and postgraduate students from a public university in Hong Kong.…

Despite efforts to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and student outcomes, STEM fields continue to lack equity, inclusion, and diversity. The disproportionate attrition of minoritized students, including first-generation and racially minoritized students, is a pressing issue in higher education. Students…

The transition from school to higher education brings substantial academic pressure for many young adults in India, where competitive examinations often determine professional and educational pathways. As a result, students commonly experience heightened anxiety, which may affect both their mental well-being and exam performance. Understanding…

Crossing from the world of academics into the realm of industry has been chilling for some STEM graduates, including community college students. This work adds to the existing literature on workplace preparedness and pedagogical practices in a sample of students pursuing computer and information sciences at selected community colleges. Using data…

As AI tools such as ChatGPT and CoPilot become increasingly common in higher education, universities must reconsider how assessments are designed, monitored, and supported. This small case study investigates how students use AI in online assessments, whether they disclose such use, and how ethical concerns shape their behaviour. Based on a…

Background: The experiences of students and professionals with disabilities are routinely excluded from scholarly and policy debates about equity in engineering. Emergent research suggests that engineering is particularly ableist, yet systematic accounts of the possible exclusion and devaluation faced by engineers with disabilities are largely…

Education acts as an important catalyst for socioeconomic and democratic evolution in society and is a critical tool for building an equitable system. In our paper, we have historicized one of the most important educational policies, viz. Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SAMSA) in India that carries large expectations to minimize the educational divide.…
