The Effect of Graphic Organizers on Cultivating Higher-Order Thinking: Evidence from a Meta-Analysis
Creating Sustainable and Thriving Teams: Teachers’ Driven Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
To improve their practices, teachers need to regularly develop and practice teaching innovations. Hence, this study examines such practices via the relations between entrepreneurial teachers and their entrepreneurial ecosystem, including schools’ formal structures and informal collegiality. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the survey responses of 734 teachers from 30 Hong Kong primary and secondary schools examined the structure of…
The impact of politeness on challenges in students’ online debates: A statistical discourse analysis
In online debates, the level of politeness can influence how classmates respond to claims. This study analyzed 2028 messages from 87 graduate students participating in 20 online debates across five sections of an education technology course using statistical discourse analysis. When messages started rudely (e.g. “Wrong!”) or used first-person plural pronouns (e.g. “we”), opponents were more likely to challenge them. Conversely, when messages had …
Meta-analyses of Peer Assessment and Affective Outcomes: Motivation, Self-efficacy, and Anxiety
School Assessment Policy, Teacher Assessment Practice and Training, and Reading Achievement: A Multi-Level Analysis of Pisa 2018 Data
Grounded in the assessment ecology framework, we examine how assessment components (school assessment policies, teacher assessment practices and training) are linked to the reading achievements of 151,969 students from 19 countries. Analyses of the 2018 PISA survey and test data yielded these results. Schools that posted assessment results for accountability, or teachers who often clarified learning goals, tracked student progress or accordingly …
Early Childhood Teachers’ STEM Knowledge and Teaching Attitudes and Beliefs Predict Students’ STEM Habits of Mind: A Multilevel Model
Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) habits of mind (HoM) are essential competencies and skills that students develop through STEM education, boosting learning outcomes across STEM domains. However, researchers have not examined how teacher attributes shape young children’s STEM HoM. This study investigated the relationships between teachers’ STEM knowledge, their STEM teaching attitudes and beliefs, and young students’ STEM HoM. Usi…
Global competence in negotiating cultural differences: Modeling the influences of cultural values and identity grafting processes
This paper examines how cultural values of power distance and uncertainty avoidance influence students’ identities and receptivity toward global competence (GC). We developed identity grafting (IG) theory and measures to study these processes, characterizing them in diverse and manageable ways: blending, balancing, reversing, and repressing identity formations involved in negotiating differences. We collected data from 556 university students in …
Psychosocial patterns of online social participation, psychological well-being, and learning opportunities in digital and global competences: Between Europe and Asia
Young adults engage online, but not always competently or responsibly. This study examined media literacy (ML) and online civic engagement (OCE) to identify psychosocial profiles and explore their associations with psychological well-being (PWB). A sample of 1,298 university students from Poland, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong was analyzed. Clustering identified four profiles: Cautious Observers (38%), Careless Activists (23%), Digital Leaders (21%), …
Do Digital Textbooks Boost Students' Learning Motivation? Evidence From a Meta‐Analysis
Academic Instruction and Classroom Ecology Congruence: Improving Elementary Classroom Instruction in Dual Language Bilingual Education (DLBE)
In this study of Dual Language Bilingual Education (DLBE), we conducted a quantitative study with K−3 teachers in five schools with DLBE-treatment teachers teaching in English and Spanish and non-DLBE-comparison teachers teaching only in English. The DLBE treatment teachers participated in an 18-month graduate certification with five coaching sessions focused on oral language, vocabulary, and small-group instruction (academic constructs) and clas…
From barriers to benefits: A personalized sleep intervention enhances sleep duration and emotional health in chronic short sleepers
This pilot study evaluated a personalized sleep intervention incorporating motivational interviewing techniques to address sleep barriers, along with tailored sleep hygiene and extension for chronic short sleepers. Eleven university students completed a 14‐day sequential intervention (baseline, sleep hygiene and a combined phase adding 90‐min extension), assessed via actigraphy, daily diaries, ecological momentary assessments and qualitative inte…
Language as cultural influence on teachers’ identity blending and diversified teaching practice
Research has shown that when exposed to more language choices, those who incorporate additional home languages are more likely to be open to other cultures and cultural change. This paper examines the influence of home language on Hong Kong teachers’ openness to adopting blending strategies to reconcile cultural differences and how these interactions underpin their willingness to adopt diverse teaching methods. Structural equation modelling of 64…
Exploring the media representation of migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong: A mixed-methods analysis
Hong Kong newspapers portrayed migrant domestic workers (MDWs) differently across three incidents: Manila hostage crisis, right of abode debate, and abuse of Erwiana Sulistyaningsih. We computed and modeled the emotional sentiment of 50,540 words in 23,489 sentences in 1,512 articles in 6 newspapers using various attributes (e.g., presence of “MDW”) via a multivariate outcome, multilevel analysis, and identified discursive strategies for portrayi…

Optimizing distributed practice online: A conceptual replication of Cepeda et al. (2009)
This study conceptually replicates Cepeda, Coburn, Rohrer, Wixted, Mozer, & Pashler’s (2009, Experiment 1) study on the effects of distributed practice on second language (L2) vocabulary learning to examine its generalizability to a new context and population sample. The secondary focus of the paper is to examine the challenges and affordances of online data collection and participant recruitment sites. Both the original and our study examined th…
Media and information literacy's antecedents and consequences: A survey of Hong Kong University students
Studies have shown how instruction can improve students’ media and information literacy (MIL), but researchers have not modeled MIL's broader antecedents or consequences. Hence, we explore demographics, digital citizenship's, and online engagement's links to MIL, and its ties to social trust or psychological well-being (PWB). In Hong Kong, 726 university students completed surveys. Our structural equation model showed that students with stronger …
Untangling the Relationship Between AI ‐Mediated Informal Digital Learning of English ( AI ‐ Idle ), foreign Language Enjoyment and the Ideal L2 Self: Evidence From Chinese University EFL Students
Artificial intelligence‐mediated informal digital learning of English (AI‐IDLE) might strengthen second language (L2) learners' motivational self‐concept (e.g., the ideal L2 self) and enhance their foreign language enjoyment (FLE) by enabling them to build confidence, engagement, and willingness to practice their English skills in a self‐directed, instant feedback, and non‐judgemental learning environment. In our explanatory mixed‐method study, w…
AI ‐powered vocabulary learning for lower primary school students
In this exploratory mixed‐methods study, we introduce and test our AI‐powered vocabulary learning system—ARCHe, which embeds four AI functions: (1) automatic feedback towards for pronunciation, (2) automatic feedback for towards handwriting, (3) automatic scoring for student‐generated sentences and (4) automatic recommendations. Specifically, our study of 140 students taught by six teachers in three primary schools in Singapore explores the links…
Detecting Covid-19 Fake News on Twitter/X in French: Deceptive Writing Strategies
Many who believed Covid-19 fake news eschewed vaccines, masks, and social distancing; got unnecessarily infected; and died. To detect such fake news, we follow deceptive writing theory and link French hedges and modals to validity. As hedges indicate uncertainty, fake news writers can use it to include falsehoods while shifting responsibility to the audience. Whereas devoir (must) emphasizes certainty and truth, falloir (should, need) implies tru…
Demographics, social norms, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention: A social cognitive perspective on secondary students
Purpose Framed by social cognition theory, this study examines the impact of environmental factors (e.g. social norms) on students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ES) and entrepreneurial intention (EI). Design/methodology/approach We obtained responses to a survey from 811 senior secondary students in Hong Kong. We then employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the proposed hypothesis. We removed non-significant parameters in testing th…
Digital trans-literacies on social media: The shaping effect on youth self-concept clarity and well-being
Previous studies have not investigated the mechanisms through which multilingual and multicultural practices on social media influence individuals’ self-concept clarity (SCC) and well-being. This mixed-method study examines the impact of youths’ translanguaging practices (flexible use of multiple languages and diverse semiotic resources) on social media on their online identity expression/exploration, SCC, and subjective well-being, which include…
Multi-discourse Modes in Student Writing: Effects of Combining Narrative and Argument Discourse Modes on Argumentative Essay Scores
Although many studies modelled writing quality by analysing basic skills (spelling, grammar, etc.), few focused on top-down compositional strategies at the discourse level. We propose that using both narrative and argument discourse modes in an argumentative essay (a multi-discourse mode [MDM] strategy) capitalizes on their complementary advantages, yielding higher quality argumentative essays. We tested whether MDM strategy and linguistic featur…

This study examined how resources, distribution inequality, and biases toward privileged students affected academic performance. Fifteen-year-olds from 41 countries completed a questionnaire and tests in mathematics, reading, and science. Multilevel regression analyses showed that students scored higher in all subjects when they had more resources in their country, family, or school. Students in countries with higher inequality, clustering of pri…
Students' Sense of Belonging at School in 41 Countries: Cross-Cultural Variability
This study examined whether students' sense of belonging at school (SOBAS) differed across attributes of countries, families, schools, teachers, or students. Multilevel analyses of survey and test data from 193,073 15-year-old students in 41 countries yielded four main findings. First, students in more egalitarian cultures often had higher SOBAS than those in more hierarchical cultures. Second, the teacher-student relationship had the strongest l…
Immigrant Students’ Emotional and Cognitive Engagement at School: A Multilevel Analysis of Students in 41 countries
Modeling Diffusion of Multiple Innovations via Multilevel Diffusion Curves: Payola in Pop Music Radio
Diffusion curve analysis can estimate whether an innovation spreads endogenously (indicated by a characteristic “s-curve”) or exogenously (indicated by a characteristic negative exponential curve). Current techniques for pooling information across multiple innovations require a two-stage analysis. In this paper, we develop multilevel diffusion curve analysis, which is statistically more efficient and allows for more flexible specifications than d…
Group Problem‐Solving Processes: Social Interactions andIndividual Actions
To help consider why some groups solve problems successfully but others do not, this article introduces a framework for analyzing sequences of group members' actions. The dimensions of evaluation of the previous action (supportive, critical, unresponsive), knowledge content (contribution, repetition, null), and invitational form (command, question, statement) organize twenty‐seven individual actions, each with specific functions and conditions of…

This study tested a model of teacher interventions (TIs) conducted during cooperative learning to examine how they affected students’ subsequent time on-task (TOT) and problem solving. TIs involved groups of ninth-grade students working on an algebra problem; videotaped lessons were transcribed and analyzed. Results showed that teachers initiated most TIs and typically did so when students were off-task or showed little progress. After TIs, stude…
Media portrayals of the Hong Kong Occupy Central Movement’s social actors: Multilevel and critical discourse analysis
We investigated how two English-language newspapers – Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post (SCMP) and the mainland China Daily (CD) – portrayed key social actors (police, students, protesters, and governments) during the Occupy Central/Yellow Umbrella movement. We examined emotional valence, arousal, and dominance characterizations in 1,180 news articles via a multilevel, multivariate outcome regression and critical discourse analysis. The findin…
Effect of self-control on aggression among students in China: A meta-analysis
How Fake News Differs From Personal Lies
Personal lies (girl on date lying to dad) and fake news ( Obama Bans Pledge of Allegiance) both deceive but in different ways, so they require different detection methods. People in long-term relationships try to tell undetectable lies to encourage, often, audience inaction. In contrast, unattached fake news welcome attention and try to ignite audience action. Thus, they differ in six ways: (a) speaker-audience relationship, (b) goal, (c) emotion…
Classroom Discipline Across Forty-One Countries: School, Economic, and Cultural Differences
This study examined classroom discipline and its determinants through multilevel analyses of 107,975 students in 7,259 schools from 41 countries. In schools with proportionately more girls, better school discipline, higher achieving students, more teacher support, or better teacher-student relations, students reported better classroom discipline. Countries' economies and cultural values were linked to reported classroom discipline. In countries t…

Achievement, self-concept and anxiety in mathematics and English: A three-wave cross-lagged panel study
BackgroundMany studies (especially cross-sectional ones) have shown signicant links between two of these three constructs-achievement, self-concept and anxiety.ObjectivesUnlike past longitudinal studies that examined only two of these three constructs, this study examines all three, grounded in self-determination theory, control-value theory and transactional theory of anxiety.MethodsChinese secondary school students (N = 823) completed questionn…
Predicting teachers’ formative assessment practices: Teacher personal and contextual factors
Past studies identified isolated factors influencing teachers' formative assessment practices (FAP) but did not show a comprehensive model of it. Hence, this study systematically creates and tests a theoretical model of FAP by determining whether personal or contextual factors are linked to teachers' FAP. We collected longitudinal data from 296 Hong Kong primary and secondary teachers through two waves of the survey. The results of a multivariate…

Obscuring Equity in Dual Language Bilingual Education: A Longitudinal Study of Emergent Bilingual Achievement, Course Placements, and Grades
Dual language bilingual education (DLBE) is a unique form of bilingual education that has the potential to preserve and develop the heritage languages of emergent bilinguals, foster high levels of bilingualism, and address academic disparities, thereby changing emergent bilinguals’ educational conditions and learning outcomes. Yet, DLBE schools and programs are nested within a broader sociopolitical context which may attenuate the benefits of DLB…
Facilitation and Teacher Behaviors: An Analysis of Literacy Teachers’ Video-Case Discussions
This study explored how peer and professor facilitations are related to teachers' behaviors during video-case discussions. Fourteen inservice teachers produced 1,787 turns of conversation during 12 video-case discussions that were video-recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed with statistical discourse analysis. Professor facilitations (sharing experiences; affirming ideas; and asking for critical thinking, information, observations, and conne…
Effects of Status on Solutions, Leadership, and Evaluations during Group Problem Solving
Collaborative problem solving in classrooms may be influenced by the social status of the members of problem-solving groups. One mechanism by which it may occur is the politeness of the members' criticisms of one other. During group problem solving, high-status students may be perceived as strong leaders, but their high status could interfere with group problem solving by biasing other students' evaluations of the correctness of their actions dur…
Detecting Covid-19 Fake News on Twitter: Followers, Emotions, Relationships, and Uncertainty
Fake news about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can discourage people from taking preventive measures (masks, social distancing), thereby increasing infections and deaths; thus, this study tests whether attributes of users or COVID-19 tweets can distinguish tweets of true news versus fake news. We analyzed 4,165 spell-checked English tweets with a link to 1 of 20 matched COVID-19 news stories (10 true and 10 fake), across the world during 1 y…

Participants in this study included 655 immigrant parents (from Pakistan, Nepal, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Kenya, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and others). Structural equation modelling of survey responses showed t…
The relationship between formative assessment and reading achievement: A multilevel analysis of students in 19 countries/regions
Despite the general consensus on the positive impact of formative assessment on student learning, researchers have not shown the underlying mechanisms between specific formative assessment strategies and academic performance on an international sample. This study examines the link between student and teacher reports of teachers’ formative assessment strategies (i.e. clarifying goals and monitoring progress, providing feedback, and instructional a…
Why Aren’t All Cantonese Tones Equally Confusing to English Listeners
English listeners often struggle to perceive tones, but some are easier than others. This study examined these phenomena grounded in the feature weighing perspective (FWP) and the Perceptual Assimilation Model for Suprasegmentals (PAM-S). Forty-seven English and Cantonese listeners completed 4,212 trials of Cantonese tone discrimination and sequence recall tasks. The English listeners showed asymmetrical perceptual patterns of discrimination but …
