We aimed to explore, in a sample of systematic reviews (SRs) with meta-analyses of the association between food/diet and health-related outcomes, whether systematic reviewers selectively included study effect estimates in meta-analyses when multiple effect estimates were available. We randomly selected SRs of food/diet and health-related outcomes…

Modern online education has the capacity to provide intelligent educational services by automatically analyzing substantial amounts of student behavioral data. Knowledge tracing (KT) is one of the fundamental tasks for student behavioral data analysis, aiming to monitor students' evolving knowledge state during their problem-solving process. In…

The use of robots in education has the potential to engage students in learning activities and aims to form lasting relationships with them. To encourage sustainable, long-term human-robot interactions, a promising approach is to cultivate a pet-like, interdependent relationship. However, the potential of such relationships in education remains…

This research investigated the role of environmental education (EE) in acquiring environmental knowledge, pro-environmental beliefs and pro-environmental behaviours among a sample of pre-service teachers who undertook an EE course (n = 177) and those who did not undertake an EE course (n = 203) in a Nigerian university. Results showed that…

The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to examine if and to what extent a correlational relationship exists between the variables of family functioning and academic performance as well as family functioning and school behaviors. The theoretical frameworks of William Glasser's choice theory, Circumplex model of marital and family…

Within the context of higher education, student conduct administration is drenched in risk, compliance with local and federal laws, and managing the evolving needs and demographics of students (Glick & Haug, 2020). In short, student conduct is a complex, and challenging functional area to work in, as administrators to balance educating…

Some autistic people use strategies to hide autistic behaviour and appear more neurotypical. Previous research has linked this 'social camouflaging' with mental health difficulties. This review synthesised qualitative research to explore the relationship between camouflaging and mental health. Thirteen studies were systematically identified,…

This study analyses the role of social support in Internet use, focusing on when it leads to problematic or functional use in male and female adolescents. Three research hypotheses state: (1) when offline social support is low, online social support leads to a problematic Internet use; (2) when offline social support is high, online social support…

Burnout is common among students and can negatively influence their motivation, performance, and wellbeing. However, there is currently little consensus regarding how to intervene effectively. Consequently, we provide the first systematic review and meta-analysis of studies examining the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing burnout in…

Background: The aim of many interventions used by speech and language therapists (SLTs) is to change behaviours related to communication and interaction. Parent-led language interventions for children in the early years (0-5 years) rely on SLTs supporting parents to change their behaviour in child-focused interactions to effect a change in the…

Objective: College students, particularly first-year students, are at risk for alcohol misuse and alcohol-related consequences (e.g., condomless sex). Our objective was to determine if first- and second-year students were more or less likely to report any act of condomless sex under the influence of alcohol than third- and fourth-year students.…

In this systematic review, we aimed to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children/adolescents with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The protocol was registered on PROSPERO CRD42021255848. Articles were selected from PubMed, Embase, and LILACS according to these characteristics: patients from zero to 18 years old,…

A youth mental health crisis has been exacerbated significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers are often front-line support for students in need. Yet teachers themselves are struggling, making it difficult to help their students. Cognitive behavioral interventions (CBIs) have been shown to reduce mental health symptoms in school settings.…

Purpose: Cognitive behaviour therapy based on the Clark and Wells (1995) model is a first-line treatment for neurotypical people seeking support for social anxiety. While autistic people frequently report high social anxiety, it is unclear how appropriate the model is for this population. Methods: Over 300 autistic and non-autistic adults…

In "Parable of the Sower," Octavia Butler (1993) wrote: "Any Change may bear seeds of benefit. Seek them out. Any Change may bear seeds of harm. Beware" (p. 116). In this paper, we apply this command to a speculative examination of the consequences of text-based generative AI (GAI) for adolescent writers, framing this…
