Mathematical ability is a crucial component of human cognitive function, which is defined as the ability to acquire, process, and store mathematical information. While many studies have documented a close relationship between elementary school children's inhibitory control and their mathematical ability, existing empirical evidence remains…

Educational attainment is associated with good health and well-being in a variety of domains. Some students seeking to further their education are adult learners who present to adult basic education (ABE) centers. One factor that may be important for ABE students' success is emotion regulation--the ability to regulate or modify one's emotional…

Background: Self-regulation is identified in the literature as an early predictor of later in life success and an important skill that develops over the course of a lifetime but begins in early childhood. Objective: The purpose of this research study was to assess whether direct instruction of Mindfulness Practices, such as guided meditation and…

In the post-pandemic era, online learning has gained significant attention in K-12 schools (primary, secondary and high schools). A critical issue is the uncertain relationship between students' perception of the online learning environment, self-regulation, learning engagement and learning effects. There's also insufficient focus on differences…

Background: In their daily work life, teachers experience various situations in which they need to regulate their emotions.

Previous research mainly investigated teachers' emotion regulation at a single strategy level…

Background: Despite the growing interest in school-based mindfulness training (SBMT) and its evaluation, evidence on the effectiveness of SBMT is still limited and somewhat inconsistent. Further, knowledge on the role of implementation quality, which is essential for a more widespread use of SBMT, is scarce. Objective: This study examined effects…

Studies have explored the correlation between students' math interest and their academic performance in grades 4 to 6, emphasizing the role of self-control and resilience as mediators in this relationship. Drawing on interest development and self-regulation theories, we hypothesized that interest directly predicts achievement and indirectly…

The current study aimed to investigate the relationship among two fundamental emotional beliefs (controllability and goodness), emotion regulation strategies, and anxiety symptoms. The study evaluated the mediatory effects of emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between emotion beliefs and anxiety. Grade 7 and 8 adolescents in China…

This pilot study compared the effects of daily mindfulness meditation and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping on the emotional and behavioral regulation of 5-year-old children over a three-week period. Participants were divided into two groups, each receiving one of the interventions. Self-regulation, happiness, and life satisfaction were…

Classroom behaviour management is a persistent and often overwhelming challenge for novice teachers; they face frequent disruptive behaviours that they struggle to resolve effectively, which harms both the teaching process and classroom climate. This study investigates the specific strategies novice teachers use to manage behaviour, detailing what…

Background/purpose: Executive functions are generally considered crucial for an individual's capacity to adapt. This also applies to the domain of professional competencies. However, relatively few scientific studies have specifically examined the role of executive functions in relation to teachers' professional competencies. Didactic competencies…

Elementary classroom teaching involves complex emotion labour with a wide range of often co-occurring positive and negative emotions. How teachers engage in the executive function of regulating their emotions in the classroom can influence the quality of instruction they provide and promote their own well-being. The objective of this study was to…

As an effective teaching method, digital storytelling has gained significant prominence in the field of education in recent years. In contemporary digital storytelling instruction, stories are often presented through interactive whiteboards, computers, smartphones, or tablets. The introduction of immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology makes…

Purpose: This research examined the effects of a freestyle jump rope unit on students' jump rope proficiency, agility, balance, inhibitory control, physical activity level, and perceived enjoyment. Method: One hundred and nine third and fourth graders were randomly assigned to the video-led (VID), teacher-led (TEA), or control group. A 30-s jump…

Students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) sometimes experience anger, which can negatively affect their academic performance and social relationships if not managed properly. Prevention and intervention programs are beneficial in addressing this issue. Bibliotherapy is an effective method for anger management and is categorized into…
