Snyder's hope theory depicts hope, through the frame of positive psychology, as a cognitive construct with the perceived sense of goal-directed, pathways, and agency thinking (Snyder et al., 1991). Hope levels have been measured in various countries; however, no research to date focused on Haitians. This study, conducted in Petit-Goâve, Haiti,…

Learning analytics is a fast-growing discipline. Institutions and countries alike are racing to harness the power of using data to support students, teachers and stakeholders. Research in the field has proven that predicting and supporting underachieving students is worthwhile. Nonetheless, challenges remain unresolved, for example, lack of…

This study was carried out to determine the happiness levels of the students in the faculties of sports sciences and to compare them in terms of various variables. In this study, which was conducted to examine the happiness levels of the students of the faculty of sports sciences, the relational screening model was used. With this model, it is…

This article reviews how individual differences have been conceptualized and researched within the area of multiple document literacy, in particular the extent to which proposed relationships between individual differences and the multiple document literacy process of sourcing have been supported by the empirical research. The findings showed that…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy has come to the spotlight, empowering individuals to adeptly navigate the modern digitalised world. However, studies on teacher AI literacy in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context remain limited. This study aims to identify intraindividual differences in AI literacy and examine its associations with…

This study explored teachers' self-efficacy in teaching mathematics (SETM) as related to their teaching profile and pedagogical practices. Using data from 327 New Zealand primary teachers, a multilevel structural equation model was constructed and analyzed that looked at the relationships among SETM and effective pedagogical practice scales and…

Purpose: This study examined science achievement; science vocabulary knowledge; and the relationship between science vocabulary, language skills, and science achievement in school-age children with language/literacy disorders (LLDs) and typical language development (TD). Method: Thirty-nine sixth graders (11 with LLDs) completed standardized…

Purpose: Converging research suggests that speech timing, including altered rate and pausing when speaking, can distinguish autistic individuals from nonautistic peers. Although speech timing can impact effective social communication, it remains unclear what mechanisms underlie individual differences in speech timing in autism. Method: The present…

Although the distinction between explicit and implicit (automatized) knowledge of second or foreign language (L2) is of crucial importance to second language acquisition (SLA) theory and research, it has thus far not been directly applied to L2 pronunciation. The paper attempts to fill this gap by making an initial attempt to illustrate the…

It has been largely argued that intrinsic motivation is the best and most effective in sustaining language learning. Deci and Flaste (1996) posit that motivation must come from within. While this might be possible and effective in contexts where learners have a personal interest in learning a language, it is not always the case for those learning…

This study investigates undergraduate microwave engineering students' conceptions of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation using a phenomenographic approach. An in-depth semi-structured interview was used to examine a cohort of 15 students' experience of EM wave propagation in the context of microwave engineering. Result of the study revealed five…

In order for students to benefit from feedback, they must develop their feedback literacy. To investigate the extent to which informing students about feedback knowledge and scaffolding practice for making sense of feedback increases feedback literacy, we conducted a skills-based intervention study. The results showed that the intervention…

Narrative voice and focalization are two essential narrative techniques, but their roles in understanding narrative texts still need to be determined. This study uses Event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate how auditory comprehension of literary text is affected by narrative voice and mode of focalization, and how these influences are…

Teacher-student relationships (TSR) have been linked in research to a positive correlation with Student Academic Achievement (SAA). However, few of these studies have used empirical data to quantitatively link TSR to SAA. This study used an explanatory sequential mixed method design model to explain quantitative results through semi-structured…

Purpose: Response times (RTs) are commonly used in studying language acquisition. However, previous research utilizing RT in the context of language has largely overlooked the intra-individual variability (IIV) of RTs, which could hold significant information about the processes underlying language acquisition. Method: We explored the association…
