We examine the impact of a randomized therapy intervention on Nepali adolescents at risk of school dropout. Our study is the largest of its kind (N = 1,707) and is novel in that participation does not require a preexisting diagnosis. Ninety percent of those offered therapy participated, with younger adolescents demonstrating higher compliance.…

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have the potential to positively disrupt higher education in South Africa, but at present, only a few institutions in South Africa offer MOOCs.

Thousand three hundred forty-seven adolescents in China completed the Perceived Sociocultural Pressure Scale, the Trait Self-Control Scale, the…

School-based mindfulness programs (SBMPs) have shown a range of academic, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. However, heterogeneity in curricular content obscures accurate interpretation of results. To unpack the "black box" of SBMPs and better contextualize intervention outcomes, this investigation examined the practices, skills, and…

This study investigated the relationships between school resilience strength, cognitive flexibility, emotion regulation, and school engagement in high school students. A hypothetical model test was conducted for this purpose. This study was designed according to a predictive correlational model. Through convenience sampling, this study collected…

This pilot study compared the effects of daily mindfulness meditation and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping on the emotional and behavioral regulation of 5-year-old children over a three-week period. Participants were divided into two groups, each receiving one of the interventions. Self-regulation, happiness, and life satisfaction were…

Classroom behaviour management is a persistent and often overwhelming challenge for novice teachers; they face frequent disruptive behaviours that they struggle to resolve effectively, which harms both the teaching process and classroom climate. This study investigates the specific strategies novice teachers use to manage behaviour, detailing what…

Background/purpose: This study explores how mindfulness (MIN), social media use (SMU), reflective thinking (RT), and cognitive engagement (CE) interact among undergraduate students. Materials/methods: The descriptive approach combined with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), using Smart PLS 4, was applied to analyze the complex relationships…

This case study was based on original research aimed at finding out the effects of social skills therapy on manifestations of delinquency among Upper Basic Education Children in Calabar, Nigeria. The study adopted a quasi-experimental pretest posttest, nonrandomized design. The intervention, which had 16 sessions, lasted for 8 weeks. This period…

Learning distractions, both internal and external, disrupt students' focus and academic performance. Understanding these distractions is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate their effects and enhance learning outcomes for university students.

Adequate time-on-task is crucial for student teachers because it allows them to develop their teaching skills, build strong relationships with students, adapt to…

Unwanted pursuit behaviours (UPBs) are behaviours that are often intended to initiate a relationship or restore romantic relationships following a break-up. Research shows relatively high prevalence rates of UPBs in college students. In the current study, we tested a conceptual mediation model, where perceived parental warmth would be indirectly…

Self-regulation of learning (SRL) is an essential ability for academic success in multiple educational contexts, including programming education. However, understanding how students regulate themselves during programming learning is still limited. This exploratory research aimed to investigate the regulatory strategies externalized by 51 students…

The study investigates the potential of anxiety clusters in predicting programming performance in two distinct coding environments. Participants comprised 83 second-year programming students who were randomly assigned to either a block-based or a text-based group. Anxiety-induced behaviors were assessed using physiological measures (Apple Watch…
