Xin, Sufei; Xin, Ziqiang – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2016
With the dramatic recent changes in Chinese society, Chinese college students' average levels of loneliness and social support might also have changed across their birth cohorts. The present cross-temporal meta-analysis of 56 studies (N = 21,541) found that Chinese college students' scores on the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) increased…

Kidzinsk, Lukasz; Sharma, Kshitij; Boroujeni, Mina Shirvani; Dillenbourg, Pierre – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
The big data imposes the key problem of generalizability of the results. In the present contribution, we discuss statistical tools which can help to select variables adequate for target level of abstraction. We show that a model considered as over-fitted in one context can be accurate in another. We illustrate this notion with an example analysis…

Hülür, Gizem; Ram, Nilam; Gerstorf, Denis – Developmental Psychology, 2015
One key objective of life span research is to examine how individual development is shaped by the historical time people live in. Secular trends favoring later-born cohorts on fluid cognitive abilities have been widely documented, but findings are mixed for well-being. It remains an open question whether secular increases in well-being seen in…

Chalmers, Charlotte; Mowat, Elaine; Chapman, Maggie – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2018
The setting, marking and providing feedback on assessments form an important part of a tutor's role. Studies into the use of feedback and how it is interpreted by students indicate a mismatch between what students are looking for and what tutors think they are giving. Tutors comment that students are more interested in the mark than the feedback,…

Richer, Amanda; Charmaraman, Linda; Ceder, Ineke – Afterschool Matters, 2018

Beck, Leesa; Wright, Alexis – College and University, 2019
The oldest Millennials are now well-established in their careers, requesting flex schedules so they can take their kids to soccer practice in the afternoons; they have little in common with the typical 18- to 22-year-old undergraduate in many college classrooms. For faculty at campuses serving primarily traditional students, it seems like a good…
