This study examines whether adolescents' interest and self-concept regarding information and communication technologies (ICT) affect their subsequent career paths through the selection into different vocational education and training (VET) programs. Drawing on Eccles' situated expectancy value theory and related theories, we argue that ICT…

Mental wellness has been emphasised in positive psychology. However, a significant gap remains in understanding the complex interplay among teachers' difficulty-coping-related variables (e.g., resilience), well-being, and work-related states (e.g., work engagement). The present study examined the role of English as a Foreign Language (EFL)…

Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this longitudinal study examined the potential of GPT-4o, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool, in K-12 school contexts by assessing its long-term impact on high school students' self-regulated learning (SRL) and task engagement. Furthermore, the study tracked the developmental trajectory of these…

The National Center on Inclusion Toward Rightful Presence sought out schools that provide effective support in general education curriculum and settings for students who benefit from intensive instruction and support. The Center used knowledge learned from these sites to develop and inform its model for advancing rightful presence in schools,…

Molecular genetics is often one of the most challenging subjects for students in biology courses. Identifying misconceptions on this subject will help teachers improve teaching and increase student success. Based on this thought, this study aimed to determine students' misconceptions about molecular genetics using a four-tier test. The researcher…

Background: Achievement emotions (e.g., enjoyment, pride, anxiety, boredom) critically influence students' academic engagement and performance. Teachers foster intrinsic motivation and positive achievement emotions by providing autonomy support that fulfills students' psychological needs. In contrast, emotionally abusive teacher behaviors (e.g.,…

Grade inflation is a nuanced phenomenon that has important implications for educational outcomes. This study shows that while high school GPA (HSGPA) remains an important predictor of student success in college, its predictive strength can be diluted in the presence of grade inflation. Practically speaking, high GPAs from schools with a history of…

Prior research has demonstrated that students' performance on physics test items can be accurately predicted using machine learning algorithms based on their gaze behavior. These gaze data are typically recorded during item completion and capture students' visual attention to both the verbal item stem and accompanying visual representations, such…

This study examines the alignment of mathematics items used in the High School Entrance Exam (HSEE) conducted in Turkiye with mathematical literacy proficiency levels identified for PISA. In line with curriculum reforms in 2018, the format and structure of HSEE have changed to enhance students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills,…

This study builds on the literature on deeper learning to investigate whether and to what extent two types of deeper learning opportunities--opportunities for complex problem solving and opportunities for learning how to learn--are linked to students' creative thinking competency in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This…

Student success in postsecondary education depends on academic preparation and on having the nonacademic knowledge, skills, and behaviors to successfully navigate the demands of postsecondary study. While nonacademic competencies are important for all students, rural and high-poverty populations face unique nonacademic challenges, such as access…
