The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to measuring teachers' leader-member exchange behaviors. The study group of the research consists of 396 teachers working in secondary schools in the central districts of Eskisehir, Odunpazari and Tepebasi, in the 2018-2019 academic year. The construct validity of the scale…

This research investigates whether academic integrity can be strengthened through a holistic educative approach that combines compulsory modules on academic integrity, pedagogy that challenges punitive approaches, and an embedded curriculum. We present quantitative and qualitative data from surveys and interview responses from students to…

Background: The digital literacy landscape has undergone significant changes over the last 5 years, from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic hastened the necessity for advanced digital skills for remote work and online collaboration, while the current AI era…

Background: Learning analytics dashboards (LAD) have been developed as feedback tools to help students self-regulate their learning (SRL) by using the large amounts of data generated by online learning platforms. Despite extensive research on LAD design, there remains a gap in understanding how learners make sense of information visualised on LADs…

This study aimed to develop and validate the Metacognitions about Generative AI Use Scale (MGAUS) to assess college students' metacognitive beliefs about generative AI and to explore these metacognitions as predictors of generative AI addiction risk. A total of 1229 college students from China participated in the study, providing data through an…

This study proposes and validates a sequential digital-physical-psychological (DPP) pathway model to explain how social media use facilitates international students' cross-cultural adaptation through behavioral and psychological mediation. Building on media system dependency theory and social learning theory, the model posits that digital…

Teacher gesture recognition aims to identify and interpret teacher gestures within academic settings. It has been applied in domains such as teaching performance evaluation, the optimization of online education, and special needs education. However, the background similarity of teacher gestures, the inter-class similarity, and the intra-class…

Feature engineering plays a critical role in the development of machine learning systems for educational contexts, yet its impact on student trust remains understudied. Traditional approaches have focused primarily on optimizing model performance through expert-crafted features, while the emergence of AutoML offers automated alternatives for…

Elopement is a common and dangerous behavior among autistic children. Behavioral treatments can reduce elopement, but most evidence comes from small-N evaluations in specialized settings with strategies varying across studies. The current study compared the efficacy of the caregiver-mediated function-based elopement treatment to parent education…

This study delves into school heads' perspectives regarding microaggressions in eight diverse school environments. The term 'microaggressions' may be unfamiliar to many, as it pertains to the subtle verbal and nonverbal offensive behaviors of students or adults in classroom settings or outside the classroom. Despite the potential impact of these…

Objective: There is a lack of research examining factors that promote the disclosure of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among post-secondary students. However, elucidating which factors facilitate disclosures among students -- particularly students with high risk NSSI -- is important given that disclosure may facilitate access to care. Methods:…

Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are at an increased risk for poor outcomes (e.g., dropout, unemployment, mental health problems). These risks are heightened for students placed in juvenile justice and/or alternative placement settings. Increasing college and career readiness (CCR) opportunities may potentially lead to…

This scoping review is intended to examine and consolidate the factors that influence the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among African university students. Gaining an understanding of these factors is crucial for developing effective public health strategies to improve vaccination rates within this demographic. An extensive search of peer-reviewed…

This study aimed to identify and reach a consensus on factors contributing to adolescent suicidality following biopsychosocial model. The research was conducted in three stages: (1) literature review and school counselor interview on self-harm and suicidal risk factors in the adolescent population; (2) development of a list of risk factors (3)…

Numerous studies highlight that the high adoption rates of e-learning management systems (e-LMSs) are not necessarily matched by their actual use among students in sub-Saharan African higher education. Nevertheless, factors such as perceived behavioral control of e-LMS, teaching activities in e-LMS, administrative activities in e-LMS, and…
