Professional development and experiential learning opportunities are essential to student success. This work utilizes qualitative content analysis of survey responses to compare students' expectations regarding a learning opportunity at Super Bowl LVII to students' reported outcomes after the event. Open-ended data from an online survey prior to…

This study explores the novice programmers' intention to use chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) for programming tasks with emphasis on performance expectancy (PE), risk-reward appraisal (RRA), and decision-making (DM). Utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and a sample of 413 novice programmers, the…

Popular discourses of computing and computer science can often frame the sector and the people within it as highly intelligent yet socially challenged, contributing to stereotypes that can potentially exclude those perceived to lack these skills or characteristics. For young people, such stereotypes can influence their educational and career…

This research focuses on the social pressures experienced by parents at schools identified as middle class across southern California. The literature review of school finances, the LCFF, funding levels, and studies stretches all the way back to the Coleman report. Within this vast body of prior research remained a void in the data. This missing…

This study was conducted to meta-analytically investigate the influence of teaching vs. no teaching expectancy on the learning effects of teaching after preparatory learning. A meta-analysis of 39 studies revealed that a weighted mean effect size for the effect of teaching after studying with or without teaching expectancy vs. merely studying…

This article presents an interview study with seven newly-graduated male teachers in Icelandic compulsory schools. We interviewed them five times during their first two years of teaching. The focus is on the ways in which the gender of the novice teachers mattered in the expectations that they experienced and how these expectations interacted with…

In recent decades, research has explored tension between women academics' motherhood and institutional discourse. This study, however, delves into the performances of nine Chinese women academics who are mothers and their body boundaries between motherhood and career progression based on semistructured interview data, using thematic analysis…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the impact of "Performance Expectancy" (PE) on the performance of Indian automotive manufacturing employees through their "Behavioural Intention" (BI) in the context of digital learning within the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world. Design/methodology/approach: A…

One of the best-known demonstrations of long-term learning through repetition is the Hebb effect: Immediate recall of a memory list repeated amidst nonrepeated lists improves steadily with repetitions. However, previous studies often failed to observe this effect for visuospatial arrays. Souza and Oberauer (2022) showed that the strongest…

The metaverse is a mixed blend of digital and tangible worlds, indicating the future directions of Internet sector development. This study aimed to assess the factors affecting students' intentions to use a metaverse platform. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology was applied as the research model. Data were collected using a…

A growing literature examines PhD graduates working beyond academia. These studies are critiqued for rarely addressing the sectoral and organisational structural factors that influence actual work. So, we examined how the non-academic, contextually situated, organisational job specifications of fifteen PhD graduates interacted with their daily…

In this critical qualitative study, we draw on interviews with sitting Presidents of Color in one state to explore the racialized dimensions of the college and university presidential search and appointment process. Informed by Ray's racialized organization tenets of whiteness as a credential and racialized agency, our findings show that…
