This study investigates how student dissent behaviors are affected by student predispositions (i.e., math anxiety and self-efficacy) in supply chain related courses. The data support a model in which students' vengeful dissent behaviors are indirectly induced by these predispositions through the mediation of perceived immediacy. It is critical for…

While many studies of monitoring accuracy have been conducted with college students, less is known about middle school students' monitoring accuracy, especially in Asian countries. Prior research also found discrepancies in students' monitoring accuracy between Western and Asian cultures. To understand and support Chinese middle school students'…

Using a case study approach, we explored the science and math classroom experiences of urban high school students. Our purposeful sample included 11 high-achieving students (mostly minoritized students) who graduated from the same school and participated in an out-of-school science and medicine/health program. Using 35 semistructured interviews…

Middle school students experience decreased academic motivation and declining achievement without proper classroom strategies and academic support. This single case study explores the parallels between child and adult education theories to identify a practical approach to adolescent learning and teaching by identifying effective educational…

This study investigates Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish first-year engineering students' task performance in mathematics and examines how it relates to their motivational values and beliefs about the nature of mathematics. In a set of seven mathematical tasks, female students outperformed male students, for example, in the simplification of…

Background: There is current academic debate over the reliability of the dyslexia label. However, this argument does not consider the impact of the dyslexia label on an individual's academic outlook and aspirations. Aims: Using data from the Millennium Cohort Study, this paper aims to objectively explore the impact of the dyslexia label on…

This study is part of the international survey studies on teachers' beliefs concerning the integration of children's literature in mathematics teaching and learning, and this paper reports the findings of the thematic analysis of open-ended survey responses elicited from 287 primary school teachers and teacher trainees in Taiwan. Using the seminal…

The purpose of this research is to develop a scale to determine teachers' self-efficacy levels regarding differentiated instruction. To create the item pool, the first 61 item draft form was prepared. This draft form was submitted to the opinion of experts from different fields and necessary corrections were made. Before starting the analysis…

Boys in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia consistently and significantly underperform compared to girls across different grades and subjects, forming one of the largest gender gaps in student achievement in the world. Saudi Arabia offers a unique setting in which boys and girls attend separate schools on a universal basis starting from grade 1. This…

In Ireland, while, on average, students have performed well on national and international assessments of mathematics and science, the low proportions of high achievers in these subjects are noteworthy. Given these patterns and the multifaceted benefits in individual and societal terms that expertise in mathematics and science has been associated…

Teaching efficacy, teaching anxiety, and teaching knowledge are crucial factors in effective teaching. This study investigated the mediating role of mathematics teaching efficacy (MTE) in the relationship between pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and mathematics teaching anxiety (MTA) for pre-service mathematics teachers. The participants were…

This cross-sectional mixed-methods study found statistically significant differences in responses to 22 of 25 efficacy statements by participants separated into two categories based on their cumulative GPAs at one public high school in Wisconsin. Qualitative comments found limited results. Results of this study provide recommendations for geometry…

Background and Context: Differences in children's and adolescents' initial attitudes about computing and other STEM fields may form during middle school and shape decisions leading to career entry. Early emerging differences in career interest may propagate a lack of diversity in computer science and programming fields. Objective: Though middle…

Homeschooling, where parents take on the prime responsibility for their children's education, is a growing phenomenon in Australia. Homeschooling is different from distance education or the education at home that has taken place in the COVID-19 pandemic in that the parents make all the decisions about their children's education, including…

The underrepresentation of females in certain fields has been studied extensively in many countries. Similar to other parts of the World, the number of females graduating each year from universities in the Arab World now exceeds the number of males, yet gender differences in educational fields persist. The objective of this study is to review the…
