University entrance exams in Türkiye often generate significant test anxiety among high school students. This study investigates the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in reducing test anxiety among 10th-grade students. Employing a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the…

Objectives: Work performance is a critical aspect of daily living, significantly impacted by the characteristics of ADHD. However, current research lacks sophisticated, theoretically, and empirically supported instruments for assessing work performance in this context. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a comprehensive and psychometrically…

This research with two studies examined whether young children's moral judgments of honesty and dishonesty predict their actual cheating behavior. Participants were 200 children aged 3-6 years (2021-2022. Study 1: N = 80, M[subscript age] = 4.96, 40 girls; Study 2: N = 120, M[subscript age] = 4.98, 60 girls; all middle-class Han Chinese). Children…

This paper attempts to investigate various facets of the multi-layered dynamics of open-book exams, from student perceptions, preferences, academic performance and satisfaction, to the highly relevant issue of academic integrity. Unfortunately, despite some controversies regarding academic integrity and the repercussions of open-book exams, very…

Objective: Optimizing sexual history intake is crucial for effective STI screening and diagnosis. This study, conducted at a university health center, investigated whether implementing a self-administered electronic questionnaire focused on organ contact, compared to the conventional verbal intake method used previously, would increase the number…

The study examined the relationship between teacher support and reading performance via the multiple mediation effects of reading engagement (emotional engagement and cognitive engagement). Data were extracted from Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA) 2018, with a sample of 171,429 adolescents from 5,692 schools across 22…

Purpose: Sentence repetition (SR) is a promising task for identifying children at risk for developmental language disorder (DLD) but is unclear how to calibrate the task for adults. In verbal recall, the frequency of language structures affects adults with DLD differently from peers with typical language (TL), particularly near the limits of…

Since the rise of state assessments whose primary function is to yield scores that can be used to compare schools and groups of students, most states have developed their state assessment programs under the assumption that either: (a) state tests are not intended to meaningfully shape instruction, or (b), if they are, the information provided in…

Objective: This study aims to assess the role of continuous EEG (cEEG) background patterns and duration of cross-clamp time and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing cardiac surgery and its correlation with abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes at 12-24 months on Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler…

Studies of children at high risk of dyslexia demonstrate that oral language difficulties are a major risk factor for poor reading and that children who enter school with poor language are likely to struggle to become proficient readers. We review findings of studies of oral language intervention against a backdrop of research showing that language…

University Examination Timetabling Problem is the most important combinational problem to develop a conflict-free timetable to execute all of the exams in and with the limited timeslots and other resources for universities, colleges or schools. It is also an important Nondeterministic Polynomial Time (NP)-hard problem that has no deterministic…

In this article, we analyzed the levels of reading comprehension: literal, inferential, and critical, using a diagnostic test about the understanding of the Mean Value Theorem (MVT) in engineering students of the Universidad de La Salle in the Calculus I lecture (Differential Calculus). The objectives of this article are to identify in which of…
