To increase children's physical activity, teachers need to be intentional about promoting active play. To date, most research has focused on teachers' promotion of physical activity…

We examine the association between parenting practices (discipline and support) and children's cognitive effort.

We analyse data from 1,148 fifth-grade students from Berlin and Madrid (around 11 years of age). Cognitive…

Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine MHL and RHL in a sample of college students in the United States, and to explore linkages among literacies and related constructs. Participants: Participants were 169 (N = 169) participants who were adult college students at a state university in the southern United States. Participants were…

This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots within higher education, focusing on the early feedback from STEM faculty members in Lebanon, particularly in the context of their widespread use among students. As AI intersects with traditional scientific inquiry, its incorporation into educational frameworks introduces…

In an increasingly globalized world, translation technologies are critical in facilitating language comprehension and translation performance, especially among college EFL students. Despite their potential, the factors impacting their actual use in tertiary education remain underexplored. This study employs the UTAUT2 model to identify…

This study aims to investigate the driving factors influencing teachers' intention to adopt an AI-powered assistant (Microsoft Copilot) in their professional development.

Many students who take cooperative programs consider internships to be the most appropriate entry point into their chosen careers. However, few studies have investigated factors related to internships from an engagement-value perspective that can influence the…

The Integrated Student Choice Model and Theory of Planned Behavior are used to frame an analysis of longitudinal student data. We utilize generalized structural equation modeling to evaluate our framework and to examine the impact of select student characteristics and college experiences on actual involvement in study abroad, giving particular…

Teachers are playing crucial roles in the implementation of formative assessment, which has been widely recognised as a valuable strategy in enhancing students' learning outcomes. However, systematic analysis on factors that might facilitate or hinder teachers' intentions and implementations regarding formative assessment is scarce. This review…
