Newcomer adolescents make up a large minority of Canada's population and their positive integration experiences with education systems across the country are critical for both their development and the country's long-term success. The current study examined newcomer adolescents' (n = 4, between 16 and 18 years old) integration experiences using an…

Increasing student engagement is a challenge for faculty of all experience levels. This manuscript introduces the Participation Competition as a pathway for faculty to gamify the Marketing classroom and increase student engagement. Through incentivizing group-based in-class participation, faculty can help students practice soft skills, facilitate…

In the 21st century, teaching strategies, curriculum, and ways of presenting subject matter changed dramatically from kindergarten to higher education. The unprecedented global pandemic brought the concept of hybrid learning to the fore, although it had been in existence for over a decade. Hybrid learning is an approach to teaching and learning…

This paper considers how a curricular design that integrated computer programming and creative movement shaped students' engagement with computing. We draw on data from a camp for middle schoolers, focusing on an activity in which students used the programming environment NetLogo to re-represent their physical choreography. We analyze the extent…

Laboratory e-learning support tools can assist students' learning while preparing for laboratory classes. To successfully work in such virtual experimental environments (VEEs) outside class, students require self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. A deeper understanding of the continuous reciprocal interactions between SRL, satisfaction, and online…

This study examined incivility in virtual classrooms among graduate students in behavioral sciences, focusing on the challenges of maintaining respectful online environments. The research question addressed how online faculty identify and manage incivilities in graduate programs in behavioral health science. The theoretical framework integrated…

This research study explored the level of student engagement that transfer students experience and how these levels can predict their persistence. This quantitative study utilized secondary data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). George Kuh's Theory of Student Engagement guided this study and influenced the development of the…

Online learning environments have become increasingly prevalent in higher education, necessitating an understanding of factors influencing student engagement. This study examines the mediating role of self-regulated online learning in the relationship between five-factor personality traits and student engagement among university students. A sample…

Perfectionism is widely recognised as a key factor in students' learning experiences, but such evidence is primarily derived from cross-sectional studies testing unidirectional links. To fill in the gap, our study used a longitudinal design and made the initial attempt to examine the bi-directional links between two types of perfectionism…

Cameras may be viewed as an essential tool in online synchronous classes. They may give a sense of connectedness between the students and faculty. In fact, social presence is considered a vital factor in distance education. In our study, we examine faculty's perception of accepted reasons for students to turn off their cameras and perceived…

L2 learner engagement is an emerging but critical construct in the field of psychology of language learning and teaching. However, research on L2 learner engagement has suffered from the inconsistent operationalization of the multidimensional structure of the construct and the conceptual overlap among its different components, making research…

Helping students gradually develop collective knowledge is critical but generally faces great challenges. Employing a quasi-experimental design, this study investigated the impacts and mechanisms of analytics-supported reflective assessment on the collective knowledge advancement of undergraduates. The experimental group (n = 55) engaged in…

This three-article format dissertation presents a comprehensive examination of the 2017 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE), focusing on its measurement properties across diverse community college student populations. Study 1 centered on the validity of the internal structure of CCSSE. Exploratory and confirmatory factor…
