Undergraduate medical education aims to train the students to develop the required clinical skills and preparation for the residency. The validity of the assessment on clinical competence is primarily ignored or uncompleted, especially in the clinical clerkship. The current study was multifaceted and accomplished multiple evaluation and research…

The COVID-19 pandemic is redefining the practices of higher education in an unprecedented way. E-learning can guarantee the right to higher education during the pandemic to the students of higher education and hence its adoption in teaching learning is now inevitable. The readiness of higher education faculty members towards E-learning is explored…

In the 21st century, more students enroll in higher education and take federal loans to defer the cost of attendance resulting in average levels of borrowing steadily increasing. In the same timeframe, there is an increase in the number of students entering repayment for their federal loans and an increase in the proportion of individuals…

In the present study, the relationships among trait hope, academic self-efficacy, and academic achievement (self-reported GPA) were examined among college students. Demographic differences were analyzed based on college-going status, ethnicity, and gender. First-generation college-going students (FGCS) reported significantly lower levels of trait…

Using piecewise growth curve trajectory modeling, we investigated kindergartners' physiological responses to receiving critical feedback from an adult during a laboratory drawing task. Further, we tested how children's independent self-regulated behavior, as well as the quality of parent-child co-regulation, related to physiological reactivity to…

The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine if and to what extent technostress creators predict individually or in combination job satisfaction among teachers in K-12 education. The theoretical basis for this study was provided by Brod's theory of technostress and Herzberg's theory of job satisfaction. From those, a…

Associate degree allied health programs (ADAHP) face multiple pressures to admit students who are likely to succeed and enter the workforce. In 2016, the Assessment Technologies Institute Test of Essential Academic Skills (ATI TEAS) was added as a required criterion of the supplemental program application at a community college in the southeastern…

Colleges have increasingly turned to predictive analytics to target at-risk students for additional support. Most of the predictive analytic applications in higher education are proprietary, with private companies offering little transparency about their underlying models. We address this lack of transparency by systematically comparing two…

Charter schools have existed in the United States for thirty years, with mixed results. Research has largely focused on charter school failure and an analysis of what led to the demise. This study aimed to understand characteristics predicting charter school success, alongside those predicting failure. Specifically, it focused on a charter…

The purpose of this study is to identify the best model that explains the relationship between conflicting risk structures and decision quality. Using confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical regression techniques as statistical methods, the author confirmed that changes in the conflicting risk structures correlated with changes in decision…

Background: Eating patterns such as breakfast consumption and fruit and vegetable intake have been associated with academic achievement and cognitive function. Method: The purpose of this study was to learn more about psychological (emotion-driven eating) and behavioral (over-eating) eating patterns and motives, and the roles of body image,…

Objective: This study examined students' perceived levels of coping and need for help, and the relationship with their risks and protective factors during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Israel. Participants: A sample of 4,710 university students responded anonymously to an online questionnaire. Methods: The risk and protective…

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances rapidly, it has been incorporated into formal education to facilitate subject-based learning. Integration of AI technologies to support learning requires teachers to intentionally design AI-assisted learning. However, there have been a limited number of empirical studies investigating teachers' behavioural…

This study critically investigates the social economic predictors of parental involvement in rural schools in Kenya and its implications on teaching and learning. Education is a major foundation for socioeconomic growth and the provision of quality education. However, teaching and learning are affected by various socioeconomic factors that this…

Dropout is a global crisis and an affliction in the United States. This study analyzes graduation rates based on prior academic achievement, attendance, and behavior at an urban American high school in Virginia over 4 years to identify who is (not) graduating and why. Using a correlational, nonexperimental design, four cohorts of graduates were…
