Duchesne, Stéphane; Ratelle, Catherine F.; Larose, Simon – Educational Psychology, 2022
This study examined the cross-lagged relationships between students' autonomous motivations (intrinsic motivation and identified regulations) and approach goals (mastery and performance) in school. The sample included 449 students (52% girls) in Grades 7 and 8 (secondary 1 and 2). Results showed that intrinsic motivation (IM) positively predicted…

Moliner, Lidon; Alegre, Francisco – Educational Psychology, 2022
In this study reciprocal peer tutoring was implemented in middle school mathematics classes for a six-month period. The effects of this methodology on students' mathematics achievements, mathematics anxiety levels, attitudes towards mathematics, and mathematics self-concepts were examined. Study participants included 768 students in grades 7-9…

A Person-Centred Approach to Understanding Self-Regulation in Homework Using Latent Profile Analysis
Xu, Jianzhong; Corno, Lyn – Educational Psychology, 2022
The current investigation used latent profile analysis (LPA) to categorise students according to their strategies for managing mathematics homework. A sample of 918 Chinese students in grades 7-9 rated their use of seven homework management strategies; namely, arranging the environment, managing time, monitoring motivation, managing emotion,…

Huang, Zhen; Wei, Xiangdong; Lu, Runhao; Shi, Jiannong – Educational Psychology, 2022
An increasing amount of research has indicated that the effectiveness of growth mindset (GM) intervention is sensitive to population characteristics. However, few studies have investigated whether GM interventions can be leveraged to promote academic performance among non-westerners such as Chinese students. Attuning to the Chinese background, we…

Lee, Eunju J. – Educational Psychology, 2021
The present study investigated whether self-estimation bias in maths competence was associated with motivational costs or benefits, concurrently and prospectively, and whether these associations depended on students' achievement levels. Participants were 2,807 seventh grade students who were reassessed after 2 years to examine the longitudinal…

Yang, Fuyi; Tu, Menglu – Educational Psychology, 2020
The present investigation linked grade, gender, and maths achievement to homework management strategies using data from 305 Chinese students in grades 7, 8, and 9. These strategies included arranging the environment, managing time, handling distraction, monitoring motivation, and controlling potentially interfering emotion. A three-way MANOVA…

Parr, Alyssa; Amemiya, Jamie; Wang, Ming-Te – Educational Psychology, 2019
Emotions are central to how students experience mathematics, yet we know little about how specific instructional practices relate to students' emotions in mathematics learning. We examined how dialogic instruction, a socially dynamic form of instruction, was associated with four learning emotions in mathematics: enjoyment, pride, anger, and…

Petersen, Jennifer Lee; Hyde, Janet Shibley – Educational Psychology, 2017
Although many studies have documented developmental change in mathematics motivation, little is known about how these trends predict math performance. A sample of 288 participants from the United States reported their perceived math ability, math utility value and math interest in 5th, 7th and 9th grades. Latent growth curve models estimated…

Björn, Piia Maria; Aunola, Kaisa; Nurmi, Jari-Erik – Educational Psychology, 2016
This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the extent to which primary school text comprehension predicts mathematical word problem-solving skills in secondary school among Finnish students. The participants were 224 fourth graders (9-10 years old at the baseline). The children's text-reading fluency, text comprehension and basic calculation…

Kablan, Zeynel – Educational Psychology, 2016
The current study investigates the influence of manipulatives used in combination with traditional approaches to mathematics education and how varying amounts of time spent on manipulative use influence student achievement across different learning styles. Three learning environments were created that incorporated varying proportions of…

Diniz, Eva; da Rosa Piccolo, Luciane; de Paula Couto, Maria Clara Pinheiro; Salles, Jerusa Fumagalli; Helena Koller, Silvia – Educational Psychology, 2014
This study investigated children and adolescents' school performance over time focusing on two variables that may influence it: developmental context and gender. The sample comprised 627 participants (M[subscript age]?=?11.13, SD?=?1.8), 51% of them female, from grade one to eight, living either with family (n?=?474) or in care institutions…

Ego Depletion Effects on Mathematics Performance in Primary School Students: Why Take the Hard Road?
Price, Deborah Ann; Yates, Gregory C. R. – Educational Psychology, 2010
Reduction in performance level following on from brief periods of self-control is referred to as ego depletion. This study aimed to investigate if a brief ego depletion experience would impact upon primary school students working through an online mathematics exercise involving 40 computational trials. Seventy-two students participated in the…
