This study examined the longitudinal associations between perception of sibling relationship quality (i.e., sibling warmth and conflict) and sibling influence (i.e., sibling modeling and differentiation), as well as the potential moderating role of birth order among Chinese adolescents.

This article explores a small number of African international students' narratives on their identity work through work-integrated learning (WIL) in Chinese higher education. Applying a sociological use of the 'possible selves' concept to interview data, the findings show that individual participants accumulate a pool of like-to-be, aspire-to-be…

Anonymous peer feedback has long been used as a common activity in higher education, yet few studies have systematically tracked students' perceived comfort levels over time, and even fewer have compared givers' and receivers' comfort under this intervention. To address this gap, the present study tracked 40 Chinese university students over eight…

Chinese international students, born and raised in China, are the largest international student group in the United States. While substantial academic research confirmed that Chinese international students face many challenges, including language barrier, culture shock, homesickness, etc., while studying in the United States, there is minimal…

This study aims to classify subtypes of mathematics disability (MD) using a novel classification method, cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs), and examine whether domain-general skills, namely, linguistic, working memory, and spatial skills, were related to the identification of the subtypes. Participants were 454 children (246 boys; age: M ± SD =…

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) or pedagogic research (PedR) has become an international movement that encourages academics to use research-informed approaches to understand and enhance their teaching.
