High school students' chemistry self-efficacy (CSE) and scientific identity (SI) are not well understood in the high school chemistry classroom. The purpose of this research was to quantitatively investigate the interaction between gender and giftedness on students' CSE and SI in a suburban high school chemistry classroom, with and without…

By adapting methods used to measure anxiety in physical employment interview, this study in the first stage identifies levels of anxiety induced in a computer-mediated interview setting. In the second stage, the study examines the mediating role of practice interview process in reducing interview anxiety and explores the moderating effects of…

This study aimed (i) to investigate how epistemic cognition in physics and metacognition, together with three dimensions of physics identity framework--recognition, physics self-efficacy, and interest-- predicted the overall physics identity of Turkish high school students and also (ii) to investigate gender differences in study constructs. A…

The social cure is the concept that strong connections and social bonds are good for wellbeing and physical health. Having strong social support makes hardship easier to cope with. We hypothesize that we could apply the relationship to educational contexts, with a sense of belonging as part of the cohort or community helping students to cope with…

We examined recent process models of accumulated disadvantage with an intersectional lens in order to provide a more complete picture of how disadvantages across punishment and math trajectories can accumulate over time and disparately affect marginalized race-gender groups. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) with a nationally representative…

The present study focused on teachers' perceived digital literacy, occupational self-efficacy, and psychological distress. Our sample included 279 Romanian teachers aged 20 to 66 (M = 31.92, SD = 11.72), with professional experience ranging from 1 to 46 years (M = 8.90). We tested a moderated mediated model, exploring occupational self-efficacy as…

The developmental growth of any society depends greatly on the progression and innovations made by students' in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The current study determines the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between senior school physics students' STEM self-efficacies and science identity. The study was a…

Research on the relationship between learning approaches and variables such as the perceived impact of some university activities is limited. The present study analyses the relationship between Learning approaches (Student Process Questionnaire, SPQ) and high-impact educational practices (HIEPs). The sample consisted of 893 first and final-year…

Teachers' self-perception of their competence impacts their attitudes toward teaching, which in turn, influences both their practice and student outcomes. The goal of the current study is to explore South Korean preservice primary school teachers' self-perception of being gifted and the relationship between their self-perception and self-efficacy…

This study investigates the relationships between students' self-concept, self-efficacy, and achievement in mathematics, considering contextual factors such as socioeconomic status, gender, and immigration background, by using Swedish data from PISA 2003 and 2012. Additionally, these relationships between the two types of schools in Sweden are…

Students' physics self-efficacy, interest, and identity in introductory courses can influence their outcomes in that course and their future career aspirations. A lot of work has focused on the role these motivational beliefs play in students' outcomes without attention to the role the perception of the inclusiveness of the learning environment…

The aim of this study is to examine the physical literacy of high school students. Since the high school age group is between 14-18, it is designed for adolescents. Physical literacy emerges as a concept that does not date back very much. When the literature is examined, it is seen that the number of studies related to this concept is low in…

To explore the self-efficacy and physics identity of students across various physics career trajectories, as well as to delve into the motivations of male and female students in choosing to major in physics and pursue teaching, we conducted a survey within the Department of Physics at East China Normal University. This institution offers…

Institutions must adequately support Latinx first-generation professionals if we are to make significant progress in our racial equity work. While in the Educational Leadership doctoral program (CANDEL) at the University of California, Davis, my personal and academic experiences led me to conduct qualitative research on the experiences of Latinx…

In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between Academic Self-Concept and Academic Self-Efficacy of university students studying in the field of sports sciences. The population of the research consists of a total of 619 students from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades of Karabük University Hasan Dogan School of Physical Education and…
