For decades, student ratings of university faculty have been used by administrators in high stakes faculty employment decisions such as tenure, promotion, contract renewal and reappointment, and merit pay. However, virtually no attention has been paid to the ethical questions of using ratings in employment decisions. Instead, the ratings…

This study examined the relationships between teachers' work-leisure conflict, work satisfaction, turnover intention, and task performance. A total of 485 responses collected from school teachers in Singapore were used for data analysis. Results indicated that work-to-leisure conflict negatively influenced work satisfaction and positively…

This study examines the role of virtual simulation technology in enhancing journalism and communication education. Traditional teaching methods often face limitations in resources, which impede the development of students' practical skills and creativity. Through a case study, the research evaluates the impact of virtual simulation on curriculum…

This study examines university students' life satisfaction, well-being, and sense of coherence. It focuses on Jordanian students studying in Jordan and those studying abroad in Hungary, using the Optimal Living Profile-Modified to evaluate wellbeing and life satisfaction, and the Sense of Coherence to measure comprehensibility, manageability, and…

Background: Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds individualised supports to increase choice and control. The relationship between NDIS individualised funding, outcomes for wellbeing and exercising choice and control for people with intellectual disability has been unclear. Method: Adult NDIS participants with intellectual…

This article explores the multifaceted role played by interaction, cognitive, and environmental factors on various online learning outcomes in the context of Albania, a European transition country. More specifically, it scrutinises the differentiated impact of interaction (with content, peers and instructor), ease of use, attitudes, technical, and…

We explored the experience of biology faculty who completed the Faculty Institutes for Reforming Science Teaching (FIRST IV) program as postdoctoral fellows up to 13 years previously to better understand teaching professional development benefits for future faculty, and what departments can do to advance learner-centered teaching. We describe…

This research investigates the factors and configurations influencing the intention of primary and secondary school students to use online education. Employing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the research framework incorporates considerations of external environmental factors, extending the model. Methodologically, Structural Equation…

Escalating performance pressures and limited institutional recognition of pedagogical contributions have become pressing challenges for early-career faculty in transitional higher education systems, particularly under China's tenure-track system (TTS). Research in predominantly Western contexts has largely prioritised research productivity,…

The present study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of self-esteem and reappraisal on the relationship between professional identity and well-being. A total of 456 Chinese pre-service teachers who responded to the Professional Identity Scale, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Reappraisal subscale), the Self-Esteem Scale, the…

Creative's Phenomenon-based Learning Management (PhenBL) instructional model has been selected to support 45 physical education students in the Management Learning Science Course. Students' responses to their classroom with the 48-item PBLMM, their problems, and needs were assessed with the 42-item QPNS, instructorstudent interpersonal behaviors…

Despite the growing emphasis on student success in higher education globally, limited research has examined the complex interplay of factors influencing academic outcomes in developing contexts, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study addresses this gap by employing structural equation modelling (SEM) with Diagonally Weighted Least Squares…

This manuscript describes how school-based teams can assess an academic facilitator (i.e., self-regulated learning; SRL) and how to link resulting assessment data to intervention. We emphasize a structured interview that can be used to examine strengths and weaknesses of individual SRL skills (e.g., goal setting, planning, motivational beliefs,…

Despite acknowledged demands and stresses associated with early childhood (EC) work, and high levels of attrition in the EC workforce, research often shows high ratings of job satisfaction. This article explores these discordant findings by applying Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model to explore educator-rated job satisfaction, stress, feeling…

Adolescents residing in regional areas, and those from more financially disadvantaged families, traditionally have worse academic outcomes relative to their counterparts in metropolitan communities. A key mechanism that may account for these differences is how far individuals would like to progress in the educational system (aspirations) and how…
