Career guidance, which strongly influences the world labor market and social structure, is studied in many countries on different levels. This study aims to explore the number, growth trajectories, and geographic distribution of studies on Career guidance in general schools and identify prominent influential authors, sources, publications, and new…

Using R to conduct univariate meta-analyses is becoming common for publication. However, R can also conduct multivariate meta-analysis (MMA). However, newcomers to both R and MMA may find using R to conduct MMA daunting. Given that, R may not be easy for those unfamiliar with coding. Likewise, MMA is a topic of advanced statistics. Thus, it may be…

Dynamic structural equation models (DSEM) are designed for time series analysis of latent structures. Inherent to the application of DSEM is model parameter estimation, which has to be addressed in many applications by a single time series. In this context, however, the methods currently available either lack estimation quality or are…

Data are everywhere. Data collected from samples are often reported in the form of polls, medical studies, and advertisement information and an understanding of sampling distributions and statistical inference is important for evaluating data-based claims (Bargagliotti et al., 2020). Despite the importance of understanding statistical inference…

Based on information technology to promote the upgrading of various industries, the core of Industry 4.0, the current internet big data has gradually become a hot spot of social development, and a huge amount of data gushes out. Music is the education of beauty, and it is a key to inspire people to be true and good. China has been a land of…

The dream of intelligent assistants to enhance programmer productivity has now become a concrete reality, with rapid advances in artificial intelligence. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in various domains based on the vast amount of data used to train them. However, tasks which require structured reasoning or…

This study explored the potential benefits of Linked Data adoption in Ugandan university libraries, focusing on its ability to make hidden library data globally accessible via the Web. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework, specifically the Performance expectancy construct, a survey was conducted with 67…

Computer-mediated social learning contexts have become increasingly popular over the last few years; yet existing models of students' cognitive-affective states have been slower to adopt dyadic interaction data for predictions. Here, we explore the possibility of capitalizing on the inherently social component of collaborative learning by using…

Measurement systems give colleges a structure for collecting, sharing, and acting on data. The guidebook and tools presented here help faculty, staff, college leadership, and policymakers understand and use measurement systems--and specifically use data to improve completion rates, close institutional performance gaps, and facilitate economic…

Is public engagement with science deliberative and evidence-based? The public is often perceived as underprepared to use data and susceptible to partisan and emotional manipulation. Consequently, educational efforts focus on the ability to identify reliable information. We posit that effective engagement with science goes beyond this and hinges on…

The study explored the social perceptions of young children's use of smart devices in South Korea using big data methodologies. Big data methodologies allowed to uncover underlying thoughts and feelings about young children's use of smart devices that had not been discovered in existing studies. The study extracted raw data from three different…

Video clickstream behaviors such as pause, forward, and backward offer great potential for educational data mining and learning analytics since students exhibit a significant amount of these behaviors in online courses. The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictive relationship between video clickstream behaviors and students' test…

The purpose of this article is to illustrate the dynamic process involved in developing and utilizing a theoretical model in a mixed methods study. Specifically, I illustrate how the theoretical model can serve as the starting point in framing the study, as a lens for guiding the data collection and analysis, and as the end point in explaining the…

Single-case design (SCD) is frequently utilized in applied contexts, such as schools or clinics, due to its utility in evaluating individual intervention effects of students. Data collected in SCD are often displayed in a linear graph, which can vary drastically in their construction leading to inconsistencies in rater interpretation. This has led…
