Anxiety disorders occurs at a high rate amongst autistic children. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is a reasonably well-established multi-component intervention used to reduce anxiety in this population. Whilst there are known effective intervention components in CBT for treating anxiety among autistic children, there are few guidelines for how…

As technology is gradually embedded in academic contexts, understanding the relational dynamics that sustain students' achievement in Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) settings has become critical. This study explores how teacher-student rapport (TSR) and teacher immediacy behaviours influence learners' engagement and well-being in TEL…

This study explores the benefits of collaborative storytelling practices on verbal fluency, narrative competence, collaboration, and inclusion in primary school. One hundred and seventy Spanish primary school students participated in storytelling activities using a quasi-experimental, mixed-method, and cross-sectional design. Individual verbal…

Children develop cooperative behaviours within culturally specific social environments from an early age. This exploratory study analysed cooperation between siblings in two different cultural contexts: Yurakaré Indigenous community in Bolivia (N = 22; M[subscript age] = 5.31 years; 59.1% female) and urban Poland (N = 24; M[subscript age] = 4.86…

This research aimed to develop an integrated learning experience model through storytelling to promote executive functions in early childhood and investigate children's executive tasks. Using purposive sampling, the target group consisted of 40 kindergarten children in their third year at Khon Kaen Kindergarten School, during the first semester of…

Assessing the extent to which interventions might generalize involves an understanding of for whom and in what contexts interventions have succeeded. Identifying the characteristics of service recipients as well as observers, teachers, and other members of implementation teams involved in intervention research represents an emerging consideration…

Background: In their daily work life, teachers experience various situations in which they need to regulate their emotions. Possible factors that influence the use of different emotion regulation strategies include the emotions and context experienced. Previous research mainly investigated teachers' emotion regulation at a single strategy level…

This study aimed to explore the key determinants of public employees' acceptance of video conferencing tools (VCTs) using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model. In addition to the core TAM constructs--perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and behavioral intention--subjective norms, output quality, technostress, self-efficacy,…

Despite the utilization of adventure therapy techniques in behavioral health disorder prevention programming, little is known about how providers become trained in adventure-based prevention practice. Additionally, limited literature examines how adventure therapy providers are trained. This exploratory qualitative study provides a starting point…

Higher education study has become more accessible to rural places through the development of stronger technologies, interfaces and pedagogy for online study. However, while these have made higher education more accessible, they also overlook the substantial impact that social circumstances and resources have on the means to meaningfully…

This study developed and evaluated the effectiveness of a character education management model based on a behavioral counseling approach in improving student character in high schools. Using a mixed approach that combined research and development (R&D) with quasi-experimental validation, this study involved 65 students from two high schools in…

This study investigated linguistic laypersons' use of nonverbal behavior when formulating judgments of second language (L2) ability. Eighty-three first language (L1) English-speaking participants watched and rated samples of L2 English speakers on language and affective dimensions. Twenty of the participants later took part in stimulated verbal…

With the development of mobile Internet and digital technologies, online education platforms transcend time and space constraints to provide ubiquitous learning environments. However, high dropout rates and low pass rates pose a great challenge. Predicting student performance enables early identification of academic failure tendencies,…

We examine whether highlighting streaks--instances of repeated and consecutive behavior when completing learning tasks--encourages 4th to 6th grade students in Peru to increase their use of an online math platform and improve learning. 60,000 students were randomly assigned to receive messages that (i) highlighted streaks, (ii) provided…

Understanding the transitions among affective states during computer-based learning may guide the design of affect-responsive learning environments. Current studies have focused on the marginal strength of an affect transition, which is the average transition tendency over possible affective states preceding the transition. However, marginal…
