Shaping students’ creative problem-solving skills through cognitive activation strategies
Exploring the synergy of social-individual enablers of creativity in science
Chinese Undergraduates' Mindset-Grit Profiles and the Link With Mental Health
Given the rising concerns about well-being in higher education, it is crucial to understand how personal resources and strengths affect undergraduates’ mental health. Grounded in an integrative framework of motivation, personality, and development, this study aims to identify mindset-grit profiles and further examines their associations with subjective well-being and psychological symptoms. Five subgroups were identified among 672 Chinese undergr…
Moderation of teacher-student rapport in the link between smartphone addiction and foreign language burnout and its gender difference
As smartphone addiction (SPA) among young learners grows, a consequential increase in learning burnout is observed. However, the association between SPA and learning burnout, especially in the context of foreign language (FL) learning, remains underexplored. In particular, the factors that might mitigate this relationship and the potential variations across genders have not been sufficiently examined. Drawing upon control value theory and social …
Three-way interactions of self-efficacy, intrinsic value, utility value, and gender on foreign language achievement
The association between socioeconomic status and Chinese secondary students’ English achievement
This research explored the mediation of self-efficacy and moderation of gender between socioeconomic status (SES) and foreign language (FL) achievement. A total of 8,906 Chinese secondary students (50.7 % males) completed socioeconomic status (SES) questionnaire, English self-efficacy scale, English achievement test, and demographic questionnaire. Multilevel regression model showed that SES was positively associated with English achievement both …
Patterns of motivational beliefs among high-, medium-, and low-achieving English learners in China
The correlation between motivational beliefs and foreign language learning has been widely explored. However, there has been little investigation of this link among learners with different foreign language levels. Based on expectancy-value theory (EVT), this research examined the association between motivational beliefs and English achievement of 11,854 Chinese secondary students. Data were collected using students’ self-reported English self-eff…
Moderation effects of teacher support and disciplinary climate on SES and reading relation in high and low globally competitive economies
Motivational beliefs of urban and rural students in English as a foreign language learning
With the widening urban-rural gap caused by urbanisation, the equity of urban-rural education has become a research hotspot. This study explored the differences in motivational beliefs about English learning among Chinese urban and rural students and the impact of motivational beliefs on their English performance. A total of 6326 urban and 2600 rural Chinese eighth graders participated in the survey. Data were collected using self-reported motiva…
Moderation of teacher–student relationships in the link between motivation and English performance of struggling learners in China
This study examined the motivation level of struggling English learners in China and explored the link between motivation and their English achievement. Furthermore, this research dug into the moderation effect of teacher–student relationships on this link based on attachment theory and self-dertemination theory. Struggling students (n = 14,531) were chosen according to the bottom 25th percentile cutoff on English achievement from a large-scale s…
Performance of Coefficient Alpha and Its Alternatives
We examined the performance of coefficient alpha and its potential competitors (ordinal alpha, omega total, Revelle’s omega total [omega RT], omega hierarchical [omega h], greatest lower bound [GLB], and coefficient H) with continuous and discrete data having different types of non-normality. Results showed the estimation bias was acceptable for continuous data with varying degrees of non-normality when the scales were strong (high loadings). Thi…
Mediation of self-concept and moderation of teacher support between SES and reading achievement
BackgroundSocioeconomic status (SES) is important in students' reading development. The mechanism of how they are linked, however, is underexplored.AimsThis research aimed to explore whether reading self-concept mediates the link between SES and reading achievement and whether teacher support moderates the direct and indirect link between SES and reading achievement.SamplesUsing PISA 2018 database, we selected 17,346 15-year-olds from 537 schools…
