Learners use digital media during learning for a variety of reasons. Sometimes media use can be considered "on-task," e.g., to perform research or to collaborate with peers. In other cases, media use is "off-task," meaning that learners use content unrelated to their current learning task. Given the well-known problems with…

Low academic achievement has been shown to lead to higher disengagement from school, the main acculturative arena for immigrant-origin youth. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that their disengagement from school will lead over time to lower involvement with the national culture and higher involvement with the ethnic culture. To test this…

Student misbehaviour presents a barrier to the successful education of students and the ability for teachers to be most effective in their classroom. The current approaches being utilized to manage behaviour in classrooms range from punitive to functional. To move school educators away from punitive measures and towards a functional view of…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to recommend behavioral targets for future interventions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at college campuses and to advise interventionists on how to choose between many potential behavioral targets. Design/methodology/approach: The authors used the community-based social marketing (CBSM) methodology over…

Academic incivility can create divisiveness and affect learners' sustainability towards degree attainment. Therefore, there is a need to empirically assess learner views on what constitutes academic incivility in higher education. To fill this gap, we developed the "Incivility Indicators Instrument" (i[superscript 3]), a multifaceted…

A central purpose of higher education is to prepare students to be active participants in our democracy. To measure how students intend to participate, we need items to capture their anticipated behavior and analytical tools to summarize the results in meaningful ways. This study used a popular set of items along with latent class analysis (LCA)…

Internet is a tool widely used by students to advance online and offline learning, especially during the Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, overdependence on internet use in the learning process may negatively affect the academic progress of students. Some students delay submitting academic assignments without tangible reasons.…

This article reviews the literature surrounding the growing use of Automated Paraphrasing Tools (APTs) as a threat to educational integrity. In academia there is a technological arms-race occurring between the development of tools and techniques which facilitate violations of the principles of educational integrity, including text-based…

Visual representations, such as diagrams, are known to be valuable tools in problem solving and proof construction. However, previous studies have shown that simply having access to a diagram is not sufficient to improve students' performance on mathematical tasks. Rather, students must actively extract information about the problem scenario from…

The research presents precision education that aims to regulate students' behaviors through the learning analytics dashboard (LAD) in the AI-supported smart learning environment (SLE). The LAD basically tracks and visualizes traces of learning actions to make students aware of their learning behaviors and reflect these against the agreed goals.…

Stability balls have become a common option for alternative seating in classrooms. While the social validity of stability ball classroom seating remains high among students and teachers, findings on the effectiveness of this alternative seating method are mixed. This is particularly true when the intent of the intervention is to increase student…

The Behavioral Inflexibility Scale (BIS) is a recently developed measure of behavioral inflexibility, defined as rigid patterns of behavior that contrast with the need to be flexible when the situation calls for it. In this study, we sought to replicate previous findings on the psychometric properties of the BIS in a community sample. Data for…

Virtual learning environments have been recognized as an area of particular importance by which educators can use to improve desirable learning behaviours. Investigating the impact of different virtual environments on learners' behaviours has become the centre of attention of researchers, especially during COVID-19. The homophily effect of…

Purpose: For preservice teacher candidates (PSTs), receiving feedback on core practices is an important component in supporting the development of their practice. However, coaches are often underprepared to support PSTs on core practices, and feedback can be infrequent or low quality (Anderson and Stillman, 2013; Clarke et al., 2014).…

The study aims to examine Malaysian and Indonesian undergraduate students' sustainability knowledge and sustainable attitudes and the impact on their sustainability intention and sustainable behaviour. An online survey was conducted using 953 respondents. The SmartPLS (Partial Least Squares) analysis demonstrated that sustainability knowledge and…
