Balancing out-of-class time for college students is not only crucial for reducing academic and emotional burdens but also plays a significant role in students' development. Using a work-life balance framework, this study proposes a theoretical framework of the balance between academic and non-academic time involvement and defines different balance…

Purpose: We describe urban school principals' time use, including their time allocation across work tasks and locations, and how time use varies by school context. Research Method: Trained observers recorded leaders' time use in five-minute increments over full school days in four urban school districts. The full sample included approximately 650…

Background and Aims: The hypothesis that study strategies can compensate for less study time in predicting learning outcomes has often been proposed but rarely tested empirically. Methods: In the present study, 231 university students reported their daily perceived time spent on self-study, study strategies (planning, monitoring, concentration and…

The digital transformation in education and the widespread use of mobile devices have blurred the boundaries between students' learning and entertainment, increasing the prevalence of cyberloafing among college students. To address the inconsistent effects of cyberloafing on academic achievement, this study proposed a curvilinear relationship…

Multiple choice tests are unlikely to disappear from formal education, partly due to the ease of large-scale administration and grading and their similarity to licensing exams in various fields (e.g., nursing). Despite post-secondary instructors' best intentions in giving students adequate time to complete multiple choice assessments, it can be…

Homework is a self-regulated activity that constitutes a large proportion of learning time. In mathematics, how long is the optimal homework time for achievement development and how to improve homework time efficiency have long been questions. The study examined how mathematics homework time was related to mathematics achievement among Chinese…

The study examines the impact of screen time and time management practices on the academic performance of Cambodian accountancy students. A quantitative approach was adopted using a structured questionnaire administered to 663 students. The research explores educational and non-educational screen time usage, perceived benefits, and time management…

This study investigates the time-use patterns of students with learning disabilities during digital mathematics assessments and explores the role of extended time accommodations (ETA) in shaping these patterns. Using latent profile analysis, four distinct time-use profiles were identified separately for students with and without ETA. "Initial…
