The present study was aimed to find out the relationship between academic procrastination and locus of control of graduate students. Survey method was conducted on a stratified random sample of 200 graduate students. In order to collect data, Academic Procrastination Scale (APS-GSBL) developed by Dr. Savita Gupta and Liyaqat Bashir (2018) and…

Purpose: The advancement of technology in the last decades transformed the education from mortar and brick into online teaching and learning. It also changed the assessments from paper-based to technology-supported assessments. This study aims to examine how technology support student's online assessments in higher education institutions from…

The current study examined the relationship of academic entitlement with student attitudes (e.g., locus of control, motivation) and academic behavior. Participants were 272 (96 men, 176 women) undergraduate students enrolled in general psychology and recruited from a psychology research pool. In groups, participants individually completed a…

School alienation is a complex phenomenon that has recently attracted considerable attention from psychologists because of the negative consequences that may result from it, such as poor academic performance, learning difficulties, school disengagement, behavioral problems, and withdrawal from the educational system, which interfere with students'…

In order to clarify the effects of teachers' Educational Policy on students' Learning-as-duty Conception, we examined the effects of interaction between teachers' Educational Policy and students' Learning Goal Orientation on Learning-as-duty Conception of the students. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 50 teachers and 189 undergraduate…

Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic minority group in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by the year 2050, one in three students attending schools will be Latino. Academically, Latinos are lagging far behind their non-Latino peers. One factor underlying this achievement gap may be the lack of cultural understanding of many…

The aim of this study was to test a process model of students' learning in higher education, linking anxiety, course experience (positive and negative), self-worth protection (SWP) (self-handicapping, defensive expectations, reflectivity), student approach to learning (SAL) (deep/surface), and achievement. Path and bootstrap analyses of data from…

Discussions on the quality of education have been continuing up to the present day. Especially teachers' educational efficacies, teacher-student relations and educational stress--which is thought to be related to them and which affects learning in negative ways- attract attention. Accordingly, this study aims to analyse the correlations between…

Due to the time constraint and lack of concise contextualized classroom behavior indicators, current typical primary school classroom behavior management practices are ad-hoc and lack historical data support. To circumvent these problems, we designed a tablet-based classroom behavior management system (CBMS) for a primary school setting. The CBMS…

Because the pandemic exacerbated chronic absenteeism in many parts of the country, the need to understand how schools can improve student attendance has never been greater. Accordingly, this study breaks new ground by examining high schools' contributions to attendance after accounting for individual students' prior absenteeism and other…

I combine sociological and economic research to test a new theoretical model of the causes and consequences of teacher responses to students' track location. I examine the impact of teacher reward structures on educational inequality by analyzing how grading practices affect students' effort and achievement across tracks. Differences in grading…

Although physics education researchers often use workshops to promote instructional change in higher education, little research has been done to investigate workshop design. Initial evidence suggests that many workshop sessions focus primarily on raising faculty's awareness of research-based instructional strategies, a fairly straightforward goal…

The purpose of this study was to explore graduate student perceptions of use and the ease of use of multi-modal tablets to access electronic course materials, and the perceived differences based on students' gender, age, college of enrollment, and previous experience. This study used the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology to…

Experiencing an early pubertal transition has been shown to increase the risk for internalizing and externalizing outcomes among girls. It is less clear how the expectations of other individuals can be critical determinants of vulnerability for early developers. This study used an experimental design to examine whether the expectations of teachers…
