Because literacy is a twenty-first century education skill (OECD, 21st-century readers: developing literacy skills in a digital world, PISA, OECD Publishing, Paris, https://doi-org.bibliotheek.ehb.be/10.1787/a83d84cb-en, 2021), educational stakeholders across the United States have consistently advocated for initiatives to increase literacy among the general…

This article is concerned with the assumption of linear temporal development that is often advanced in structural equation modeling-based longitudinal research. The linearity hypothesis is implemented in particular in the popular intercept-and-slope model as well as in more general models containing it as a component, such as longitudinal…

This study simplifies the seven different cross-lagged panel models (CLPMs) by using the RSEM model for both inter-individual and intra-individual structures. In addition, the study incorporates the newly developed dynamic panel model (DPM), general cross-lagged model (GCLM) and the random intercept auto-regressive moving average (RI-ARMA) model.…

In recent years, many universities across the world have been implementing students-as-partners (SaP) programs to collaborate with students on teaching and learning projects. Within these SaP programs, for the benefits that cross-disciplinary learning brings, interdisciplinary partnership has been made a priority. To assess the extent to which…

This case study summarised the findings from the first academic presentation of the module 'Cómo entrenar tu dragon (How to train your dragon)', which is part of the development and training programme offered by the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to new and experienced teaching staff. The module aims to equip participants with a…

Fostering students' mathematical creativity is important for their understanding and success in mathematics courses as well as their persistence in STEM, but it necessitates intentional instructional actions, such as designing and implementing tasks that have the potential to foster creativity. As teaching innovation requires support for…

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a new measure of academic stressors (the ASM) in college students. Participants: The ASM was given to 677 undergraduate students at three universities along with measures of anxiety/depression, Big Five personality traits, and study skills. Methods: Tests of…

This basic qualitative study explored the intercultural development and experiences of thirteen US undergraduate faculty members. It was grounded in the theoretical frameworks of intercultural development and constructive-developmental theory. Data included two Intercultural Development Inventories® 3-6 months apart; a Subject Object Interview;…

Because of authentic exposure, study-abroad sojourners are expected to become more proficient in terms of holistic formulaicity (defined as targetlike language use of intensifiers, fillers, multiword sequences, lexical features, verb-argument constructions, pragmatic and discourse features, and so on), use of formulaic sequences, and lexical…

This study understands workplace learning as a social phenomenon and explores ways of how to successfully respond to industrial transformation out of a role-related perspective. The focus is on interactions of social actors in the process of structural change and economic adaptation. The goal of this inductive case study is to explore how 26…

In undergraduate life sciences education, open educational resources (OERs) increase accessibility and retention for students, reduce costs, and save instructors time and effort. Despite increasing awareness and utilization of these resources, OERs are not centrally located, and many undergraduate instructors describe challenges in locating…

Effective collaboration and the development of collective efficacy are understood to have considerable influence on students' learning, with research showing that the presence of collective efficacy among educators is the strategy with the most potential to positively affect student achievement. Yet this strategy is rarely found implemented in…

Given the increased focus of educational research on what works for whom and under what circumstances over the last decade, educational researchers are increasingly turning toward mixture models to identify heterogeneous subgroups among students. Such data are inherently nested, as students are nested within classrooms and schools. Yet there has…

Even before the inception of the term "learning analytics," researchers globally had been investigating the use of various feedback systems to support the self-regulation of participation and promote equitable contributions during collaborative learning activities. While some studies indicate positive effects for distinct subgroups of…

Recent research has suggested that students prefer restudying over retrieval practice when learning difficult materials, despite the latter being a more effective learning strategy. The current study investigated whether an instructional intervention can improve the use of retrieval practice for both easy and difficult materials. In Experiment 1,…
