Olanrewaju P. Olaogun; Nathaniel J. Hunsu – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
Students have misconceptions about many scientific topics they encounter in the classroom--such misconceptions are especially rife in subjects with counterintuitive concepts. Several studies have copiously documented students' misconceptions in different science domains. Research shows that students' misconceptions can be resistant to change and…

Kurfist, Amy – ProQuest LLC, 2019
This qualitative, interview-based research study explores how undergraduate students at a single research university make meaning of their experiences in curricular and co-curricular university entrepreneurship programming. The study focuses on the developmental relationship between entrepreneurship education and feelings of entrepreneurial…

Gonzalez-DeHass, Alyssa R.; Furner, Joseph M.; Vásquez-Colina, María D.; Morris, John D. – Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, 2022
Often pre-service early childhood and elementary teachers, many who are female, feel they are not good at math and appear uncomfortable at the prospect of teaching math. Given the influence pre-service teachers' attitudes toward math might have on their learning, as well as that of their future students, examining the precursors of mathematical…

Sunawan; Sugiyo; Pranoto, Yuli Kurniawati Sugiyo – Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction, 2021
Purpose: Achievement emotions have been shown to mediate the association between achievement goals and learning performance, but no research to date has tested whether there is a similar process in predicting germane cognitive load. Based on the control-value theory of academic emotions (Pekrun, 2006), the present study tested a model to determine…

Yang, Yan – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2021
Student resistance is inevitable in the process of multicultural education, but few researchers have explored the dynamics of student motivation. The purpose of this study was to help bridging the gap between motivation and multicultural education by examining the value and cost beliefs of college students in diversity learning, and how those…

Özcan, Bahadir; Kültür, Yusuf Ziya – SAGE Open, 2021
In school settings, sources of self-efficacy have the potential to directly and indirectly influence performance. The problem of this study is the direct relationship between sources of self-efficacy and achievement. In connection with this problem, the impact of sources of mathematics self-efficacy on high school senior students' mathematics test…

Darnon, Céline; Jury, Mickaël; Aelenei, Cristina – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2018
Although approach forms of achievement goals (mastery and performance goals) have been shown to predict academic achievement in college, recent research underscores that these associations are rather weak and not consistently observed. The present study tests students' social class (in the present research, generational status) as a moderator of…

Granero-Gallegos, Antonio; Carrasco-Poyatos, María – Education Sciences, 2020
The aim of this study was to provide evidence of the validity and reliability of the dimensionality of the Spanish adaptation of two correlated subscales to assess motivational climate in the university education context: Mastery motivational climate and performance motivational climate. Two different studies with cross-sectional design and…

Honicke, Toni; Broadbent, Jaclyn; Fuller-Tyszkiewicz, Matthew – Higher Education Research and Development, 2020
Within the context of Pintrich's self-regulated learning model, recent reviews of the literature show that motivational factors are the strongest predictors of academic performance. Even so, gaps remain in terms of which goal orientation constructs area most strongly related to performance, and whether academic self-efficacy is involved in such…

Hong, Wonjoon; Bernacki, Matthew L.; Perera, Harsha N. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Achievement motivation theories propose that student motivation is composed of multiple factors. Models of self-regulated learning adopt this assumption and further articulate that multiple metacognitive processes--planning, monitoring learning, and self-evaluation--are essential to guide progress toward a learning goal. Learners' motivations are…

Zientek, Linda Reichwein; Fong, Carlton J.; Phelps, Julie M. – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2019
The need to improve student success in community colleges has resulted in a growing interest in developmental mathematics. Yet there remains a need to understand the motivations and beliefs of developmental mathematics students in order to cultivate their success. Self-efficacy has been identified to be a predictor of student success. Little is…

Tempelaar, Dirk; Rienties, Bart; Nguyen, Quan – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
Learning analytic models are built upon traces students leave in technology-enhanced learning platforms as the digital footprints of their learning processes. Learning analytics uses these traces of learning engagement to predict performance and provide learning feedback to students and teachers when these predictions signal the risk of failing a…

Potter, Derek; Jayne, David; Britt, Sonya – Journal of Financial Counseling and Planning, 2020
Both financial anxiety and first-generation student status have been linked to negative academic outcomes, mental health issues, and poor social adjustment among college students; however, each factor has been studied in isolation. This article examines the predictors of financial anxiety, including generational status, using the Roy Adaptation…
