Profiles of Chinese graduate students’ English writing self-efficacy: Associations with writing self-regulated learning strategies, writing performance, and demographic features
Previous research has highlighted the pivotal role of self-efficacy in English writing proficiency among various cultures and educational levels. In higher education, particularly at the graduate level, writing proficiency is crucial for academic success and professional development. Therefore, it is essential to understand factors that influence writing proficiency, such as self-efficacy and self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies. However, the…

A Person‐Centered Analysis of Chinese EFL Learners' Self‐Efficacy and Value Beliefs: Associations With Social Support, Engagement and Academic Achievement
Self‐efficacy and value are key determinants of English as a foreign language (EFL) learning achievement, yet past studies predominantly focused on the average level of students' self‐efficacy and value by using variable‐centered approaches. Studies on individual differences in EFL learners' self‐efficacy and value are still in their infancy. Thus, a person‐centered approach (i.e., latent profile analysis) was adopted to identify profiles of stud…
Psychometric Properties of Measures to Assess Pre‐School Children's Literacy and Mathematics Developmental Skills
This study examined the psychometric properties of two new assessment measures, which consist of developmental progressions of pre‐school children in literacy skills and mathematics skills respectively. Researchers gathered data to measure the extent of children's engagement with an educational gaming system and the skill levels they attained within the system. Additionally, teachers rated the children's developmental status using rating scales f…

Validation of the Student Homework Mindset Scale (SHMS)
This research presents a preliminary validation of the Student Homework Mindset Scale (SHMS) using data from 724 students in seventh and eighth grades. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: one for conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and the other for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results supported a two‐factor structure: Fixed mindset (viewing ability as innate and unchangeable) and growth mindset (viewing abilit…
Chatbot Versus Human Peer: Effects on College English as a Foreign Language Learners’ Interactional Competence Development
Interactional competence (IC) is a core component of oral proficiency; however, opportunities to practice and develop IC in second language (L2) classrooms are often limited. Generative artificial intelligence chatbots provide easily accessible avenues for communicative practice. Employing a quasiexperimental design, this study compared chatbot interactions with face‐to‐face peer interactions to investigate the potential of both modes for eliciti…
Uncovering the nonlinear relationship between metacognitive strategy use and L2 achievement from the lens of the Island Ridge Curve: More is not always better
Metacognitive strategies are essential to second/foreign language (L2) acquisition. However, the individualized use of metacognitive strategies and their relation to L2 learning has been understudied. Guided by the theory of the Island Ridge Curve (IRC), the current study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to explore university students’ unique patterns of metacognitive strategy use during L2 (English) acquisition. A total of 1180 undergraduates …
Preschool teachers’ sense of teaching efficacy: Scale development and validation
The aim of this study is to develop and validate Preschool Teachers’ Sense of Teaching Efficacy Scale (PTSTES) in the Chinese context. A 22-item self-report measure was developed based on Bandura’s social cognitive theory, Chinese preschool education policies, existing instruments, and one-on-one interviews with preschool teachers. This study has demonstrated that the PTSTES has satisfactory psychometric properties in a sample of 584 Chinese pres…

I can do it: A positive psychology perspective on the development of self-efficacy in the EFL context
Students’ self-efficacy in language learning is not a static attribute but rather a dynamic construct. However, studies have seldom explored how students’ self-efficacy beliefs change over time, whether there are heterogeneities in the pattern of change among students, and what factors are associated with these patterns of change. This study aimed to (1) investigate the changes in English self-efficacy over time; (2) delve into the distinct traje…

Student learning and instructional tasks in different curricular contexts: A longitudinal study
Mediating roles of motivational beliefs and vocabulary learning strategies for the relationship between self‐regulation and vocabulary proficiency
Successful vocabulary acquisition hinges on the harmonious interplay of various factors. Despite some studies that have been conducted to examine the direct effect of self‐regulation on vocabulary learning, few of them tapped into the relationship among self‐regulation, motivational beliefs, vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary proficiency. This study extended previous research by examining whether motivation, self‐efficacy and learning …
Reading motivation and learning strategies among Chinese EFL learners
Given the preeminent role of students' reading motivation in their academic success in reading, which determines the quality and intensity of cognition and behaviors, it is important to investigate the predicative effects of different aspects of reading motivation on students' learning strategies particularly in a foreign language learning context where students usually learn the target language mainly through reading. This study investigated rea…

Secondary school students’ attitudes towards chemistry: A cultural comparison between Germany and China
This paper investigates the attitudes towards chemistry of male and female secondary school students from Germany and China to understand the role of collectivism and individualism in attitudes towards chemistry, comparing Germany, a relatively individualist country, with China which is rather collectivist. Literature suggests that the gender gap in attitudes towards science is larger in collectivist countries. Beyond that, the data base is insuf…
Which comes first? Modeling longitudinal associations among self-efficacy, motivation, and academic achievement
Past studies have predominantly focused on how self-efficacy and motivation facilitate academic achievement. However, the opposite might also hold with higher academic achievement catalyzing greater self-efficacy and motivation.

A total of 483 Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) learners from junior secondary schools partici…
Boosting Learners' Confidence in Learning English: Can Self‐Efficacy‐Based Intervention Make a Difference
Self‐efficacy is theorized as a malleable construct that can be influenced by teachers' instructions; however, limited effort has been devoted to evaluating the effectiveness of self‐efficacy interventions. This study leverages a mixed methods design to evaluate the effectiveness of a self‐efficacy intervention over 16 weeks among Chinese English as a foreign language learners. Data were collected from 102 secondary school students (52 and 50 stu…

Given the critical instructor shortage, more needs to be done to help aspiring world language instructors to successfully complete this gatekeeper assessment. To help world langu…
Different approaches, similar results: Preparing foreign language teachers to implement high‐leverage teaching practices
Research has identified 10 high‐leverage teaching practices (HLTPs) that can impact student learning of a foreign language. While acknowledging the importance of this work, more research is needed to inform the preparation of novice teachers to enact these practices. In response, the researchers conducted a case study involving two foreign language teacher preparation programs in the United States and Germany, to better understand how the two ver…
