Teaching has been identified as an environment of extreme physical, mental, and cognitive demand for teachers and is one of the careers where burnout levels are the highest. This qualitative study aims to: (1) understand the importance of personal, organizational, and classroom dimensions concerning the Portuguese education system; and (2) and how…

There is increasing evidence that the authoritarian parenting style has a negative effect on children's executive control, but little is known about the neurobiological mechanism behind this effect, especially the evidence of the resting-state EEG related to children's brain function. The current study explored the relations between authoritarian…

In the context of the modern dynamic socio-economic environment, career-related issues are becoming relevant to psychological and pedagogical sciences as it is professional development that enables people to realize their abilities, capabilities, and needs. Career orientation should be identified as early as possible in order to obtain significant…

This study aims to examine the curriculum literacy levels of prospective teachers in terms of various variables. The research sample consists of 469 teacher candidates, including 253 students from the 3rd grade and 216 students from the 4th grade, studying in Primary School Education, Preschool Education, Turkish Education, and Social Studies…

This case study was intended to explore whether wearable device use is associated with their demographic factors (e.g., device ownership and gender), using undergraduate students in a Hispanic Serving Institution. Preliminary findings of this two-way contingency table analysis suggested that students who own the device(s) are more likely to use it…

The purpose of this study was to uncover determinants of Black families' access to STEM enrichment, specifically focusing on I AM STEM--a community-based program. Our research examined the association between class membership and how families learned about I AM STEM, to provide a more nuanced understanding about how family dynamics influence Black…

The first study year is very decisive in terms of a smooth transition into and engagement with university education. The main goal of this study is to develop a multidimensional model for assessing student engagement and use it with first-year students in a research-intensive university in Finland. Based on theoretical modelling and three-step…

Background: Math engagement research has been largely limited to examining the unique and additive relations of engagement dimensions with outcomes. However, an emerging perspective is that students may simultaneously invest varying degrees of their distinct energetic resources (e.g., cognitive vs. emotional) in their interactions with the math…

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are computer-based learning environments that aim to imitate to the greatest possible extent the behavior of a human tutor in their capacity as a pedagogical and subject expert. One of the major challenges of these systems is to know how to adapt the training both to changing requirements of all kinds and to…

This meta-analysis examined the association of birth order and divergent thinking (DT). The main purpose was to examine how ordinal position (only, first, middle, or last-born) is related to creativity. The results from 27 studies (k= 222; N = 4,690) were analyzed using a multilevel approach. Because some previous studies compared first- vs.…
