Using a unique pan-European dataset, we rely on two alternative measures of over-education and control stepwise for four groups of covariates in order to interpret the over-education wage penalty in light of theoretical models. Firstly, it appears that a significant fraction (i.e. between 1/5 and 1/3) of PhD holders in Europe are genuinely…

Therefore, there has always been a great interest in the part of people in general and students in particular about medicines. The "Medicines, the Haute Couture of Pharmacy" summer camp has the objective to promote and improve the literacy in medicines…

This study centers on designing a targeted professional development (TPD) model to enrich the Entrepreneurial-STEM (E-STEM) literacy of teachers within an integrative conceptual framework. The study is threefold in its purpose: firstly, to investigate the impact of a targeted E-STEM PD on teachers' pedagogical growth (PG), emphasizing familiarity,…

While many recognise the impact formal education has on human flourishing, often overlooked are the forces in society that shape our conception of the good life. Our understanding of flourishing is formed as much by the culture we live in as by the classrooms we learn in. This oversight impacts our ability to think clearly about flourishing…

Contribution: An innovative teaching experience carried out at the University of Trento using team-based learning (TBL) in a large computer networks class. The impact of TBL on the students' learning and satisfaction was investigated. Background: Active learning pedagogies, including TBL, play an important role in enhancing higher-order cognitive…

To address the increasing demand for school-based agriculture education (SBAE) teachers throughout the United States, it is imperative for teachers to remain in the profession. Although the literature has identified several factors influencing SBAE teacher retention, previous research has not examined psychological needs satisfaction. Our study…

Family and personal factors play an essential role in the satisfaction with the studies of university students. In this sense, the objective of this research was to determine if self-esteem and family communication predict satisfaction with studies in university students from the Puno Region, Peru. The methodology consisted of a cross-sectional…

Exploring the child factors that alleviate the negative effects of parental psychological control has important practical value.

This paper reports on a case study conducted in Mid-western Nepal, aiming to explore the potential impacts of precarious working conditions on part-time teachers' lives and identify ways to eliminate those working conditions. The data for the study were collected using semi-structured interviews from purposefully selected part-time teachers…

Need-satisfying experiences corresponding to students' psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness, and competence lead to increased academic engagement and well-being.

Trajectories of perceived stress from the transition to adulthood (age 25), during young adulthood (age 32), and into midlife (ages 43 and 50) were examined with four waves of longitudinal survey data (N = 688; 49% female, 37% with a university degree, 86% White). We explored how between- and within-person variation in perceived stress was…

This study tries to assess the impact of e-learning on the stakeholders, especially teachers and students, and the differences. COVID-19, the current pandemic, is taken as the context. A structural equation modeling approach is undertaken, and PLS-SEM (partial least squares) (multi-group) method is chosen. Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease…
