We examined how six gifted boys perceived the onset and development of their academic underachievement and what they identified as contributing aspects. Across the six boys' experiences, a similar pattern of onset and development of academic underachievement emerged. The boys discussed a lack of academic challenge, investment in hobbies, issues…

High-stakes testing and accountability are words that those in education hear every day. Students, teachers, administrators, parents, districts, and states are impacted by these tests and their results. This mixed-methods study is aimed to examine the perceived time spent related to high-stakes testing. This study also aims to examine the…

The aim of this study is to review the relationship between the time management skills and cyberloafing behavior of school managers. Descriptive survey and relational research models were used in this research. Data was collected from 181 school managers at official elementary schools, secondary schools, and secondary education schools in the…

Purpose: Despite increased focus on the importance of the time principals spend on instructional leadership, there is little research on practical ways to help principals manage their time to achieve this goal. The purpose of this paper is to examine the implementation of the school administration manager (SAM) process: a unique program designed…

Numerous studies merely note divergence in students' and teachers' ratings of student noncognitive constructs. However, given the increased attention and use of these constructs in educational research and practice, an in-depth study focused on this issue was needed. Using a variety of quantitative methodologies, we thoroughly investigate…

Previous studies have provided evidence that introspection about dual-task performance in the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm is severely limited. The present study investigated introspection at the other pole of the multitasking continuum, namely task switching. In 2 experiments, participants provided estimates of their response…

Positive interpersonal relationships between principals and students are rarely discussed in scholarship (Cranston, 2012). And while the classroom teacher has the most significant effect on students, the principal is believed to have the second most significant effect (Leithwood, Louis, Anderson, & Wahlstrom, 2004). However, the majority of…

Research has been a buzz word in Philippine education, especially in HEI's. This study was conducted to determine the barriers that undermined the research activities of the post-graduate students. A total number of 136 students were selected as respondents. The instruments used in this study consisted of a set of questionnaires containing 36…

Many studies have found a relationship between students' self-reported procrastination and their grades. Few studies have used learning analytic data as a behavioural measure of procrastination in order to predict performance, and there is no systematic research on how this relationship may differ across assessments or disciplines. In this study…

This study measures students' unintentional procrastination, as captured by 'the number of days delayed,' or 'delay.' 'Delay' is the difference between the day that a student indicated that he or she would work on a homework assignment, and the day that he or she actually worked on that assignment as recorded by Blackboard. Regression results…

Marketing instructors have long struggled with the issue of free-riding in groups. "Flocking" students based on shared motivation levels has been found to reduce free-riding among undergraduates, but this method may be less effective in graduate courses where student motivation is often more homogeneous. This article presents a modified…

A virtual learning environment (VLE) is a web-based platform that allows students to learn at a personally defined place, time and pace. However, most students are lacking in the self-regulation skills and metacognitive abilities to take advantage of the flexibility and high learners' control available in VLEs. The purpose of the study was to…

The centrality of multitasking in teenagers' lives has triggered vast interest in popular and academic discussion. Due to a large inconsistency in the study and multitasking reporting, we endeavoured to better understand and characterize multitasking behaviors. We researched multitasking patterns, prevalence, types, combinations and gender…

Educators are increasingly embracing personalization in online and blended learning programs as a means of focusing students' investment of time and energy into learning plans that are best tailored to their individual needs. When personalized learning tools are deployed into structured learning environments like schools, however, educators and…

Purpose: This study investigated whether family-school conflict, directly and indirectly, predicts behavioral regulatory strategies (via emotion regulation) among women in higher education. The authors aim to hypothesize that the direct and indirect effects would vary by race/ethnicity. Design/methodology/approach: Participants were 1,872 incoming…
