Data derives from 970 fourth graders from inclusive primary schools (51% male, 49% female; 8% with special educational needs). Results showed that students perceive an…

Students' homework emotions greatly influence the quality of homework, learning activities, and even academic achievement and burden. Therefore, encouraging students' positive homework emotions is essential for their development. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between three types of teachers' homework feedback (checking homework…

Background/Purpose: This study investigates the pedagogical potential of AI-generated images to enhance student engagement and critical analysis in world literature curricula. Grounded in Reader-Response Theory, it explores how algorithmic visuals impact student interpretation, addressing a gap in understanding technology's role in fostering…

Background and Objective: The positivity principle states that students learn better from instructors who display positive rather than negative or neutral emotions in multimedia lessons (Lawson et al. 2021a). This study extends this work by exploring the role of affective and social cues displayed by feedback providers, such as their emotional…

The aim of this study was to examine the emotional semantic orientation of gifted students towards the flipped learning model (FLM). An explanatory sequential design, one of the mixed research methods, was utilized in this research. Participants were 53 gifted students, who continued their education in a Science and Art Center in the Eastern…

Online assessments of learning, or online exams, have become increasingly widespread with the rise of distance learning. Online exams are preferred by many students and are perceived as a quick and easy tool to measure knowledge. On the contrary, some students are concerned about the possibility of cheating and technological difficulties in online…

This study investigated the emotions and perception of effort triggered by various basketball-oriented games: psychomotor game with and without competition, and opposition game with competition. Gender' effect on games with competition was analysed. Sixty-five players (13.52 ± 1.43 years old) from formative teams in Spain participated. The…

Background: Verbal bullying is often reported by students. However, little is known about the exact things that bullies say to students or the immediate emotional reactions elicited by verbal bullying. Objective: This study examined verbal bullying to determine what specific taunts are used in bullying, how students feel when they hear these…

Emotion mindsets play an important role in how emotional challenges are navigated. Although existing research demonstrates that emotion mindsets have important implications for emotion regulation self-efficacy (ERSE), little is known about the role of individual differences. The present study examined whether the association between trait emotion…

This paper highlights an emergent form of gender inequality within schools, set against the backdrop of a perceived mental health "crisis" amongst young people in popular and media narratives.

Most people view language learning as a feminine domain and take it for granted that females have better performance in foreign language learning. Despite researchers' efforts in uncovering the phenomenon of gender stereotypes in language learning, it remains unclear: (1) whether there were differences in language learning stereotypes and their…

In university education, lecturers often adopt didactic lectures in undergraduate calculus classes. This method has been judged for making students passive recipients of calculus knowledge who cannot construct their own knowledge of the discipline. One way to make didactic lecture more interactive and engaging in calculus class is to encourage…

Beliefs about relative academic performance may shape college major choice and explain gender gaps in STEM, but little causal evidence exists. To test whether these beliefs are malleable and salient enough to change behavior, I run a randomized experiment with 5,700 undergraduates across seven introductory STEM courses. Providing relative…

Many previous studies have measured elementary-aged students' connection to nature (CTN), but few have explicitly considered how the use of different terminology (e.g. 'nature' "versus" 'the outdoors') can influence those connections. We utilized a quasi-experimental design to test for differences in affective and self-reported…

The acceptability of school-based interventions has been regularly examined among teachers and parents; however, students are less frequently assessed despite being the recipients of most interventions. Although recent studies have begun exploring how different student characteristics (e.g., gender) and types of acceptability assessments (e.g.,…
