Relational bullying is a prevalent issue in higher education, and students who witness bullying incidents react in prosocial or antisocial ways depending on a complex range of factors. To encourage prosocial and discourage antisocial bystander behaviours in students, it is crucial to understand which factors contribute to aggressively defending…

The aim of global citizenship education (GCE) is to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to address global challenges. Despite its significance, GCE is often insufficiently integrated into curricula, particularly in the Global South. The purpose of the study was to examine the alignment of the junior high school…

The transition from kindergarten to formal schooling is an important period for examining children's developing mathematical performance. We studied reciprocal associations among children's mathematical performance, parent factors (i.e., numeracy activities, beliefs about children's mathematical skills), and child factors (i.e., mathematics…

The mean diagnosis age of autism was about 5 years in Taiwan. Whether the delayed diagnosis of autism ([greater than or equal to] 6 years) was associated with parental severe mental disorders remained unknown. The parents of 22,859 autistic individuals and 228,590 age- and sex-matched nonautistic individuals were assessed for the presence of…

High stress predicts mood and anxiety disorders and can necessitate clinical intervention (Steffen et al., 2014). Language learners often experience high stress during intensive study abroad (SA) programs (Dewey et al., 2018), which can hinder communication (Buttaro, 2004; Peck, 1974). Acculturative stress is common among second language (L2)…

Listening comprehension and retelling are essential skills for academic success. However, students with learning disabilities experience difficulties in both areas, which can negatively affect their academic achievement. It is noteworthy that the relevant literature includes only a limited number of studies examining the correlation between these…

This study presents an in-depth bibliometric analysis of global research trends in educational technology and assessment from 2010 to 2024, focusing on Scopus-indexed publications. With the increasing integration of digital innovations--such as game-based learning, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence--there is a pressing need to…

The educational sector emerged as one of the most profoundly disrupted domains during the COVID-19 pandemic, with higher education institutions particularly impacted. In Ghana, pre-pandemic education was predominantly characterised by in-person instruction, where teacher-led engagement formed the foundation of classroom learning. Despite…

Goal setting (GS) is regarded as a key component of the forethought phase of self-regulation. Given that self-regulation has been widely recognised as an important contributor to academic outcomes, the present study sought to further explore how GS influences English learning performance (ELP), with learning engagement (LE) considered as a…

It has been widely accepted that phonological awareness (PA), rapid automatized naming (RAN), and verbal short-term memory (VSTM) deficits are three core facets of phonological deficits in developmental dyslexia (DD) of alphabetic orthographies. Yet, whether these three phonological facets also represent key phonological deficits of DD in Chinese,…

Motor skill interventions addressing global developmental delays have shown to be effective, but there is limited ecological validity and evidence of long-term effects in these studies. This naturalistic, cross-sectional study compared the MC of children (n = 87) in classes of teachers previously trained in the Successful Kinesthetic Instruction…

This phenomenological qualitative study examines the impact of both structured and unstructured interactions on the sense of belonging among first-year Chinese international students (CIS) in U.S. residence halls. Guided by Hurtado's (2012) diverse learning environments and Yao's (2014) literature on international student belonging, this study…

Although adolescents' social mobility beliefs are thought to be strongly associated with academic achievement, the impact of parental social mobility beliefs on adolescents has not been considered in previous research. The relationship between parents' and adolescents' social mobility beliefs, as well as their associations with adolescents'…

We conducted two studies to evaluate strategies that Extension educators may use to enrich youth travel program experiences. Study 1 evaluated the effects of telling stories about attractions before site visits on youth experiences and learning outcomes on site. Seventeen youth in a 4-H program designed to promote cultural understanding visited…

Education plays a central role in preparing students to face the changes and complexities of the environment. Society and students' life experiences have significantly transformed in the last century. Emotional intelligence, communication skills, and adaptability are important for university students. Thus, the main objective of this research was…
