Business analytics has become a critical tool in today's data-driven world, enabling organizations to extract insights, optimize decisions, and gain competitive advantages. As the demand for skilled professionals in business analytics grows, higher education institutions are increasingly focused on equipping students with the necessary knowledge…

Graphical literacy or graphicacy is a critical component of scientific literacy. Graphs are used to integrate and represent complex sets of information requiring abstraction from perceptual experience. They form essential parts of the Mathematics and Science curriculum across school curricular stages. A key to developing meaningful pedagogic…

Reading literacy (RL) is the core type of literacy of university students. However, the factors that affect the RL of undergraduates have not been thoroughly investigated in previous studies. This study examined the relationships between individual, family, and institutional factors and RL in a sample of 66,312 Chinese undergraduate students. The…

Researchers studying achievement goal orientations theory generally approached it with a domain-generic perspective. Learners' goals and motivation to learn, however, can vary by subject. This study examined the relationships among perceived parental goals, students' personal goals, and engagement in a subject-specific domain (mathematics…

This study investigates how gender and school year influence students' perceptions of the learning environment in Swedish compulsory schools. Using the adapted patterns of adaptive learning scales (PALS) questionnaire, this research examined 831 students from years 3, 6 and 8 (ages 9-14). Data were analysed using principal component analysis…

Online one-on-one tutoring serves as a supplementary approach to traditional classroom instruction. It has been shown to enhance personalized learning and academic performance. However, the dynamics of dialogic interactions within this educational setting are not fully understood. Thus, we present a computational analysis of dialogic interactions…

Vertical scales are frequently developed using common item nonequivalent group linking. In this design, one can use upper-grade, lower-grade, or mixed-grade common items to estimate the linking constants that underlie the absolute measurement of growth. Using the Rasch model and a dataset from Curriculum Associates' i-Ready Diagnostic in math in…

In the face of growing globalization and international market integration, there is a rising demand for the English Graduation Benchmark (EGB) policy in Taiwanese higher education.

Motivation plays a crucial role in mathematical competence, with motivated students tending to perform better than those who lack motivation. Given that teachers can play a significant role in fostering student motivation, the aim of this study was to investigate teachers' influence on students' motivation to learn mathematics. Alongside the…

Purpose: Graphotactic regularities are statistical regularities governing orthographic systems that children are sensitive to from the start of their literacy learning. The current study observed changes in children's sensitivity to a set of graphotactic patterns across different grades in elementary school and measured the contribution of skills…

New York City Public Schools' Computer Science for All (CS4All) initiative set out to ensure that every student receives at least one meaningful, high-quality computer science (CS) experience within each grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12). As described in previous work, the percentage of schools offering some form of CS tripled from 15 percent…
