The ongoing debate over the positive effects of a growth mindset on student outcomes has called for investigations into its contextual moderators (see Yeager & Dweck in Am Psychol 75(9):1269--1284, 2020. 10.1037/amp0000794). This study examined the potential moderating role of parental support in the associations of a growth mindset with…

School funding policy in Australia not only promotes educational equity in some ways but also creates substantial between-school resource inequalities due to its embrace of market ideologies. School funding policies are designed to promote school choice and competition, based on the assumption that they are both a right and an effective lever for…

The Grand Challenges Project supports global collaborations that inform equitable practices for assessment practitioners in higher education while identifying evidence-informed solutions. One goal named in the project is to leverage assessment findings to increase equity in higher education. This article focuses on the results from the Equity…

While many teachers are unaware that students in their classes are experiencing homelessness, others may not know how to support students who are identified as lacking consistent housing (Wright et al., 2019). Thus, there is a critical need to better assess, understand, and enhance teachers' knowledge and attitudes toward homelessness. Therefore,…

Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine potential mediators of the relationship between developmental language disorder (DLD) status and executive function performance. Method: Participants included preschoolers, of whom 80 met the diagnostic criteria for DLD and 103 were categorized as having typical language abilities. Participants'…

Cognitive ability is closely associated with the acquisition of programming skills, and enhancing learners' cognitive ability is a crucial factor in improving the efficacy of programming education. Adaptive feedback strategies can provide learners with personalized support based on their learning context, which helps to stimulate their interest…

Delay of gratification tasks have an impressive predictive value for various outcomes and are designed to measure self-regulation. Since many behavioural and psychological conditions in children are related to limitations in self-regulation, the extent to which delay tasks can be used as a screening for the detection of psychopathology is…

The operationalization of school climate is inconsistent, adding to an unwieldy existing body of climate instruments, bringing into question measurement validity concerns. Further, there is minimal literature regarding if comparisons can be made between different school sectors (i.e., public, private, charter). We seek to understand if a commonly…

Students and educators often face time constraints, making it essential to develop interventions that are both easy to implement and have a substantial impact on learning and performance. One promising strategy is retrieval practice, particularly in the context of physics education, where many students struggle with basic knowledge. Prior research…

This study investigated how students reason about the partial derivative and the directional derivative of a multivariable function at a given point, using different graphical representations for the function in the problem statement. Questions were formulated to be as isomorphic as possible in both mathematics and physics contexts and were given…

This study employed a questionnaire to investigate the level, sources, and coping strategies of English learning anxiety among non-English major undergraduates in a Chinese local normal university under blended learning mode. The study revealed that non-English major undergraduates in a Chinese local normal university generally experienced a…

This study outlines how handwritten reflection cards lead to the retention of the Japanese kana alphabets. Handwriting is said to help improve retention of the Japanese alphabets. Currently, in-person classes provide most of the materials and assignments via the university's Learning Management System (LMS), and students have the choice to…

The convenience and flexibility of online assessments can be beneficial in a variety of ways, but they can also pose risks and challenges, such as potential academic dishonesty by students. This study included 73 master's and doctoral students and investigated the relationship among their attitudes, experiences, and performance in an online…

Improving teaching effectiveness is a key goal in higher education. The ARCS motivational model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) has become widely adopted in educational environments. This systematic review examines 24 studies from 2015 to 2024, sourced from ProQuest, Web of Science, and Scopus, selected from an initial pool of 948…

Background: Achievement emotions are important for mathematical achievement. However, it is currently unclear how specific combinations of emotions--and their associated control and value appraisals--relate to mathematics performance, especially in younger students. Aims: The aims of this study were to (i) identify heterogeneous profiles of…
