Time management of undergraduate college students has long been studied as it relates to student success outcomes such as retention, GPA, and more. However, less is known about the way college students actually use or allocate their time and how these patterns affect student success. To address this problem, the purpose of this study was to…

Working while in college is frequently treated as an impediment to academic success. However, many students need to work to meet their financial obligations, especially community college students, who are more likely to be from low-income families than four-year college students. This study reconceptualizes student employment--specifically campus…

The study presents insight into the self-efficacy of students scoring below proficiency on their state-mandated assessments when participating in various teaching pedagogies. Self-efficacy is often lacking among students scoring below proficiency due to burnout or a lack of desire to excel from not engaging in academic success (Usher et al.,…

The goal of this qualitative case study was to investigate the influence of culturally responsive teaching on the academic engagement of Black third and fourth grade students. For many years, schools have been faced with evidence that shows classrooms and schools are failing to meet the academic needs of students of color, particularly Black…

This paper aims to determine the influence of students' engagement on academic performance. A total of 84 non-food science students enrolled in a food science course were chosen to answer the questionnaire. The overall mean of students' engagement was found to be 3.63 (SD = 0.24). Respondents were found to be more engaged in social engagement…

For many students, project-based learning (PBL) can be more engaging than more traditional instructional approaches. Over the past 15 years, Anna Saavedra and Amie Rapaport studied seven inquiry-based approaches. Their research shows that PBL has a positive effect on students' achievement and development of important soft skills. Schools can…

This study examines the effects of implementing a Flipped Mobile-Based Microlearning (FMM) approach on postgraduate students' accessibility, engagement, knowledge retention, overall learning experience and academic achievement. A quantitative multiple methods approach was employed, utilising a two-group quasi-experimental design and a survey…

This paper offers an exploration of success mindsets and one example of how these may be used as an intervention to impact student success in both their personal and professional lives.

Being an effective learner is an important pillar supporting success in higher education and beyond. This research aimed to uncover the extent to which undergraduate students use a set of commonly researched learning strategies, as well as to understand how learning strategy usage relates to key self-regulation factors proposed in influential…

This study was an action research analysis of a competitive, after-school robotics program in the Woodland Hills School District. A longitudinal quantitative analysis was used to measure the effects of the after-school program on academic achievement and student engagement in school. Grade Point Average was measured before the program began and…

Self-efficacy is theorized as a malleable construct that can be influenced by teachers' instructions; however, limited effort has been devoted to evaluating the effectiveness of self-efficacy interventions. This study leverages a mixed methods design to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-efficacy intervention over 16 weeks among Chinese English…

This qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of postsecondary Career Technology Education teachers.

Academic compliance is originally an externally handled action, which means that students tend to follow the directions provided to them by various authorities such as teachers, administration, and so forth. Modern trends in education are based on the principal assumption that students can make choices that are in their best interest. In this…

Mindfulness and flow are optimal experiences of consciousness that are positively related to each other and both are associated with enhanced well-being. The current study expanded upon previous work by investigating the hypothesis that flow experienced specifically in academic activities mediates the relationship between dispositional mindfulness…

Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of online graduate degree programs. However, there are few informal opportunities for students online to connect with one another and learn about the field outside of their coursework. It is important to understand who these online graduate students are, as well as their…
