Executive functions, which begin developing in early childhood, are necessary for the tasks of daily life, such as decision making and planning. Despite their early development, often without teaching, many teens with disabilities need explicit instruction to acquire and apply executive functions each day. Gaps in executive functions directly…

Students have dreams and goals outside of school. School psychologists can play a vital role in helping students with disabilities reach their dreams, particularly when the dreams ask the question "What do I want to do after high school?" Often, the answer lies in postsecondary goals, which require transition planning while the student…

Achievement goal theory emphasizes the importance of achievement goals in learning behavior and performance, particularly in challenging tasks. However, little research has explored how achievement goals contribute to strategy use and integrated writing (IW) performance. The present study examined the relationship between achievement goals (task-,…

There is a growing interest in understanding more precisely the contribution of HE to student learning outcomes. We present a systematic review of the literature published between 2000 and 2023 in the WoS and Scopus databases. We identified 49 research articles that analyse individual and institutional variables related to student's academic and…

In recent years, many studies have paid attention to servant leadership in different fields and occasions, yet few studies have paid attention to higher education in Afghanistan. The current explanatory study examined to what extent university teachers use the four principles of servant leadership (empathy, awareness, conceptualization and…

Nowadays, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) has been gradually accepted by the public as a new type of education and teaching method. However, due to the lack of timely intervention and guidance from educators, learners' performance is not as effective as it could be. To address this problem, predicting MOOC learners' performance and providing…

As the world rapidly changes, educators must prepare students to navigate an uncertain future. Traditional teaching methods often fall short in cultivating skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and systems thinking, which are essential for addressing complex global issues. This article explores how integrating foresight methodologies…

This study assessed whether self-perceived grit is malleable and, if so, how it evolved during the educational journey of students at a four-year military college. By design, the military learning environment tests students' perseverance and determination while teaching lessons in goal commitment and development of purpose, both empirically…

For lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (i.e., sexual minority [SM]) youth, coming out is an important developmental milestone and is typically associated with positive well-being. However, coming out in high school may entail a higher risk of school-based victimization. Due to the greater risk of homophobic bullying, the implications of being out in…

Most youth development programs strive to promote thriving, but scientific inquiry into "how" they achieve this aim is rare and often complicated by nuanced program structures and delivery. Across two studies, we explored how one thriving indicator, having a sense of purpose in life, may be cultivated by a statewide 4-H program. In Study…

We discuss and examine a numerical indicator--the individual gain--of students' engagement and mathematical growth in relation to an instructor's course aims and goals. The individual gain statistic assesses the fractional amount an individual student improves initial-test to final-test. We argue that an initial-test score and a final-test score,…

This study investigated the extent to which trainees' perceptions about previous training experiences determine their decision to re-enrol in future multimodal training programmes. A post-training reaction instrument adapted to multiple training modalities was developed. The results showed that trainees' perceptions of the training design and…

This article provides a critical discourse analysis of how career is discussed on elite graduate recruitment websites. Building on previous work from Handley (2018, https://bibliotheek.ehb.be:2102/10.1177/0950017016686031) and Ingram and Allen (2019, https://bibliotheek.ehb.be:2102/10.1177/0038026118790949) this article draws attention to how career is constructed, first, as…

The purpose of this research is to examine the predictive of career goal feedback and life goals on career adaptabilities. The research using the relational screening model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was carried out on university students. The participants of the research group consist of 277 (175 women, 102 men)…
