This mixed-methods experimental study demonstrates that QR code-mediated instruction significantly enhances the writing performance and learner engagement of advanced Iranian EFL students compared to traditional methods, while fostering positive attitudes toward autonomous, multimodal learning.
This study of 1,080 Chinese college students reveals that the relationship between negative coping and state anxiety follows a complex, nonlinear pattern that varies by gender and is not uniformly buffered by perceived social support, challenging the assumption that social support is always protective.
This cross-sectional study of dental students in Sudan reveals that clinical instructors are widely perceived as role models, with their teaching effectiveness and clinical competence significantly influencing students' career choices, particularly among those in earlier stages of clinical training.
This study demonstrates that integrating machine learning activities into K–12 classrooms enhances middle school students' critical thinking by fostering goal-oriented reasoning and evaluation, while highlighting the need for targeted scaffolding to support learners struggling with concept selection and task completion.
Analysis of nationally representative data from Malawi reveals a strong dose-response relationship where increasing levels of marital control behaviors significantly elevate the risk of emotional, physical, and sexual spousal violence among women, highlighting the need for prevention strategies that address controlling behaviors alongside direct abuse.
This scoping review synthesizes empirical literature from 1991 to 2024 to reveal that while Palestinian mothers and children living under chronic political violence face pervasive trauma and high rates of mental health issues, resilience emerges through culturally grounded relational and community supports, yet the field is critically limited by a near-total absence of research on maternal mental health and mother–child dyads.
This study challenges the conventional view of AI-related anxiety as purely detrimental by demonstrating that, among high school teachers, fear of job displacement paradoxically drives proactive adaptation through a serial mediation process where anxiety heightens professional identity threat, which subsequently activates a prevention focus that motivates engagement with AI.
Guided by Andersen's Behavioural Model, this qualitative study of 16 older adults in Guangxi, China, reveals that community meal assistance services extend beyond nutritional support to foster social participation and well-being, with continued engagement driven by a complex interplay of lifestyle changes, environmental resources, and evolving multidimensional needs.
This study of 407 Nigerian youths reveals that gratitude acts as a significant protective mediator, partially buffering the negative impact of socioeconomic challenges on mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and psychological well-being.
This study develops and validates an optimized short-version of the Computational Thinking Scale (COTS) for Indonesian university students by employing Confirmatory Factor Analysis and the Rasch model to confirm its robust factor structure, reliability, and effectiveness in assessing individuals with moderate computational thinking skills.
