The layered curriculum maintains its importance in education as it helps students gradually develop their cognitive levels, supports their academic success, and offers a structured learning process tailored to individual learning needs. This programme contributes to the development of skills such as taking personal responsibility, critical…

In today's digital age, efficiency in navigating, interpreting, and using internet-based content is Crucial for academic achievement. This study evaluates university students' web search abilities and how they connect to their research and critical thinking capabilities. It also looks at the ways in which critical thinking and online search…

Emotion regulation is a crucial aspect of individual development across the lifespan, influencing personal and social well-being. The academic environment is a key context for emotion regulation, yet its relationship with academic achievement remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the association between specific emotion regulation…

This paper analyzes the research performance evolution of a scientific institute, from its genesis through various stages of development. The main aim is to obtain, and visually represent, bibliometric evidence of the correlation of organizational changes on the development of its scientific performance; particularly, structural and leadership…

Racial and ethnic disparities in STEM achievement are associated with weaker economic growth, greater social inequalities, and narrower parameters of scientific inquiry. Extant research suggests that undergraduate research experiences (URE) can reduce those disparities by enhancing perceptions of belonging and scientific self-efficacy among…

Research methods is an essential ingredient of postgraduate programs across a wide range of social science disciplines. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) and lecture-based learning (LBL) approaches to teaching research methods through a mixed-methods approach in an explanatory sequential…

The aim of this study is to test the effect of the flipped learning model in promoting student science teachers' (SSTs) research self-efficacy (RSE) and the predictor role of RSE on achievement grades (AG) in the context of research methods in education course. The study is designed as a multimethod research. The participants were 33 SSTs from…

Although most gifted education programs have included undergraduate research (UGR) in their training plans, scholars have not reached a consensus on UGR's effectiveness, especially for gifted college students. With a sample of 7460 students from 15 studies conducted worldwide during 1985-2022, this study explores the relationship between research…

Objective: To evaluate the association between health behaviors with academic performance among tertiary education students. Methods: Six databases were searched until July 2020 for prospective cohort studies evaluating the association between health behavior(s) (dietary intake, physical activity, sedentary behavior, alcohol intake, sleep, smoking…

This qualitative study was designed to add to educators' understanding of veteran student success and offer ways to reframe how they measure veteran student success. Currently, university leaders tend to measure veteran student success using traditional metrics such as retention and graduation rates. This study involved examining whether there are…

To identify the research trends in studies related to STEM Clubs, 56 publications that met the inclusion and extraction criteria were identified from the online databases ERIC and WoS in this study. These studies were analysed by using the descriptive content analysis research method based on the Paper Classification Form (PCF), which includes…

In this dissertation, I present readers with three studies about the ways in which science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research experiences impact undergraduate learning, perspectives, and academic/career activities. In the first two studies I focus on this topic by investigating the ways in which undergraduates were impacted…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been proposed as a mechanism to democratize access to the benefits of apprentice-style scientific research to a broader diversity of students, promoting inclusivity and increasing student success and retention. As we evaluate CUREs, it is essential to explore their effectiveness within…

The aim of this study is to review the studies conducted on school-aged children in Türkiye between 2000 and 2023 based on the McMaster Family Functioning Model. In this study, a systematic review method was used and the studies that used the McMaster Family Assessment Device as a measurement tool were found through academic search engines. A…

Bachelor of Science Global Environmental Science majors at the University of Hawai?i at Manoa (a large, public research-intensive university) are required to complete a faculty-mentored, independent research experience, write a thesis, and orally present their research in a public symposium. To help students achieve these requirements, the Global…
