Opportunities for learning amidst concerns of misuse
Artificial intelligence (AI) has a growing influence on planning, teaching and assessment practices in education. In New Zealand, the Ministry of Education (2024) has acknowledged AI's expanding role in schools; nevertheless, limited data exist on teachers' practices and perspectives regarding its implementation. To address this gap in the literature, the present study employed an online survey and thematic analysis to investigate how secondary s…
Academic ability generates better quality feedback
The provision of feedback by students to peers contributes to their own learning and performance, improves learning experiences, and enhances understanding, problem-solving, and self-assessment abilities. However, the nature of feedback generated by students is not fully understood and, given its ubiquity, merits further investigation. In the present study, undergraduate students ( N = 226) were asked to provide feedback on multiple-choice questi…

The prevalence and predictors of directed motivational currents among secondary and tertiary L2 english learners in China
Directed Motivational Currents (DMCs), intense, sustained, goal-directed motivation, have emerged as a noteworthy construct in second language (L2) motivation research. While they hold potential to drive exceptional learning outcomes, more empirical evidence is needed on their initiation and predictors, particularly in non-Western contexts. This study investigated the prevalence and predictors of DMCs among Chinese EFL learners at the secondary (…
Enhancing moral sensitivity in the aftermath of academic misconduct
Most secondary and postsecondary institutions take a behavioral approach in dealing with student cheating-punishing those caught with grade reductions and/or suspensions.While some form of punishment may be necessary, it is not sufficient.As an instantiation of negative morality, academic misconduct offers an opportunity for moral education.The present investigation builds on the literature related to developmental approaches in responding to aca…
In between Korean and New Zealander
Korean immigrants have migrated to New Zealand over the past three decades in search of a happier and more balanced life. While they anticipated that their children would be integrated into New Zealand society, they have primarily settled in Korean ethnic enclaves. In this context, younger Korean New Zealanders have been exposed to and influenced by New Zealand’s national and Korean ethnic cultures. This study examined success beliefs and well-be…
Engagement of undergraduate STEM students
This study describes an intervention that introduced a period of solving non-routine problems into tertiary STEM lectures. The aim was twofold: to attempt to increase student engagement and to introduce them to the kind of domain-free abstract reasoning that involves critical, creative and innovative thinking. The study involved over 600 STEM participants in five lecture classes from three tertiary institutions. The results show that a style of l…

How to Cheat and Not Feel Guilty
The belief that cheating is wrong doesn’t prevent its enactment. For example, many students cheat despite believing that is wrong or unjustifiable. The question taken up in this article concerns how the resulting cognitive dissonance is ameliorated; that is, how do students cheat and not feel guilty? This article will describe two “good” theories that offer some insight into the psychological and social processes underlying the reduction of cogni…
Using the Epidemic of Academic Dishonesty as an Opportunity for Character Education
Academic dishonesty among high school students has long since transformed into an epidemic that affects nearly every student, compromising not only their intellectual growth but also their moral development. Yet, beyond the occasional hand-wringing in the media, the problem has been largely ignored by teachers, schools, policymakers, and even character educators. To address this notable failure to respond, the authors developed and evaluated a ch…
