A Four-Stage Model of Character Building
Using life and death education understanding to facilitate spiritual growth
‘Spiritual growth’ is a transformative and profoundly enriching life endeavor that significantly impacts an individual’s perspective and personal well-being. It often involves deepening one’s spiritual faith, such as in Buddhism, where a connection with Buddha’s teachings provides hope, aspiration, optimism, and resilience. These qualities contribute to a positive outlook, underscoring the role of spiritual growth in well-being. While often empha…
Toward an integrated psychology of flourishing and positive life experiences
Using life and death education to guide the teaching and research of mindfulness
Our teaching and research undertakings, facilitated by extensive international collaboration and networking, have led us to recently proposed an alternative conceptualization of mindfulness. For example, mindfulness has been predominantly interpreted through a psychological lens, often defined as an individual's capacity to be non-judgmental in the present moment. This perspective, we acknowledge, is limited as it fails to acknowledge and/or take…
Can Correct and Incorrect Worked Examples Supersede Worked Examples and Problem-Solving on Learning Linear Equations? An Examination from Cognitive Load and Motivation Perspectives
Research has advocated for the use of incorrect worked examples targeting specific conceptual barriers to enhance learning. From the perspective of cognitive load theory, we examined the relationship between instructional efficiency (correct and incorrect worked examples [CICWEs] vs. worked examples [WEs] vs. problem-solving [PS]), levels of expertise (low vs. high), and belief in achievement best (realistic vs. optimal) in learning linear equati…
The Importance of Social Support
The present nonexperimental study explores the role of the school social context in shaping students’ schooling experiences and personal well‐being. A dynamic school system provides a rich environment that encompasses various processes, factors, and outcomes, one of the most significant being the provision of quality social support. In particular, perceived social support is hypothesized to act as an antecedent of both learning and non‐learning e…
How cultural beliefs and rituals may help alleviate grief and despair
This theoretical-conceptual article draws on philosophical discourse, cultural analysis, and personal narrative accounts from our teaching and research in life and death education , particularly within higher education settings, to examine the important role of cultural grief rituals in contemporary bereavement practices. Focusing on traditions such as ancestor worship, we explore how such rituals provide structured frameworks for processing grie…
Advancement of life and death education research
Life and death education is a distinct field of study that has potential practicality and life relevance for us to consider. For example, one notable inquiry pertaining to life education teaching entails appreciation and theoretical understanding of quality life functioning (e.g., a person’s desire to attain spiritual wisdom vs. a person’s desire to attain immense financial wealth). Our research undertakings recently involved the development of a…
The Life + Death Education Framework
Life and death education is a distinct field of study that has potential life relevance for consideration (e.g., self-awareness and subsequent improvement of one's own health well-being). Existing research development, situating in different learning-sociocultural contexts, has provided consistent evidence that showcases the differing viewpoints of life functioning (e.g., what is the true meaning of life?) and the intricate nature of death and dy…
Differential instructional effectiveness
The design principles of cognitive load theory and learning by analogy has independently contributed to our understanding why an instruction will or will not work. In an experimental study involving 97 Year 9 Australian students conducted in regular classrooms, we evaluated the effect of the unguided problem-solving approach, worked examples approach and analogy approach on learning to solve two types of trigonometry problem. These trigonometry p…
Teaching Secondary Mathematics
Secondary mathematics teachers working in the Australian education sector are required to plan lessons that engage with students of different genders, cultures and levels of literacy and numeracy. Teaching Secondary Mathematics engages directly with the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers to help preservice teachers develop lesson plans that resonate with students. This edition has been thorou…

Schooling experience and academic performance of Taiwanese students
An examination of social and psychological influences on academic learning
Academic Engagement
Engagement is a prominent theoretical orientation that has received great attention from educators and researchers. This article provides a literature overview of the engagement construct pertaining to its various definitions, dimensions, and major conceptualisations. In addition, the review sheds light on two major approaches to engagement in the current literature: one entails students’ cognitive, behavioural, and emotional engagement (Fredrick…
Role of Student Well-Being
The present study explored the effects of academic and social self-efficacy beliefs on students' well-being at school, academic engagement, and achievement outcome. Well-being at school is conceptualized as a central mediator of students' engagement and learning in achievement contexts. It was hypothesized that well-being at school would mediate the effects of social and academic self-efficacy beliefs on engagement and achievement outcome. This r…
