During the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 300,000 students in Peru dropped out of the school system. Most of the students were rural Indigenous students. A lack of infrastructure and connectivity, as well as a lack of contextualized and appropriate educational resources, made it virtually impossible for rural students to engage in formal learning.…

This paper presents survey results involving students from three fields of study (computer science, business, and pedagogy), positing that computer science students exhibit distinct patterns in the spectrum of multiple intelligences compared to students in social sciences disciplines. The study involved over 300 students, revealing statistically…

Background: Positive marital relations are crucial for healthy family functioning, whereas conflict-ridden marital relations are linked to children's adjustment problems.

In the 21st century, the concept of digital literacy (DL) has become an essential skill set that empowers educators to harness the full potential of technology in the classroom as a crucial element for teaching 21st-century skills (T21C). This study aims to explore pre-service teachers' level of DL and their capabilities of T21C, and whether their…

Autistic youth demonstrate an overestimation of competencies when compared with neurotypical (NT) peers. Research has also shown NT males/boys tend to overestimate their competencies more than NT females/girls. This study assessed sex differences in autistic youths' overestimations on academic self-perception variables. Notably, 127 (70 male)…

Entrepreneurship is a key driver of economic growth, innovation, and societal change. Yet, encouraging entrepreneurial engagement among undergraduates is challenging. Despite numerous initiatives, few students translate their education into ventures, revealing shortcomings in traditional teaching. Moreover, a focus on disciplinary specialization…

Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) offer a strategy for supporting educational change and bringing researchers and practitioners into meaningful engagement around pressing issues. Whereas traditional research models often position researchers in hierarchical relationships with those who take part in their projects, RPPs aim to shift power…

This paper emphasizes the divergences in quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches when exploring trust relationships in school units. We focus on how participants responded and how the results were interpreted. This study, based on such design, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews to understand trust among teachers and…

Menstrual symptoms may negatively impact academic achievement, but rigorous population-based studies are lacking. 2,698 participants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) self-reported heavy or prolonged bleeding and menstrual pain during adolescence and multivariable regression were used to estimate associations with…

Introduction: This study aims to determine whether student profiles, based on cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal competencies from the NRC2012 model, change depending on the type of higher education institution and the time spent in higher education by Chilean higher education students. Method: Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was used to…
