Classical conceptualisations of self-regulated learning typically ignore the role of teaching strategies in real-world classrooms. Therefore, the present exploratory study aimed to examine the different clusters of perceived teaching strategies and students’ metacognitive knowledge and experiences, and motivation. The data came from 6365 (49.63% fe...
Although improvements have been made in terms of enhancing the number of students that enrol in higher education, the long-term educational pathways of adolescents to university studies are understudied. This calls for further research into the mechanisms that underpin the long-term educational pathways of adolescents who study at university versus...
Artificial intelligence (AI) drives new modes of learning and improves the workflow of instructors. Nevertheless, there are concerns about academic integrity, plagiarism, and the reduction of critical thinking in higher education. Therefore, it is important to record and analyze university social sciences students' attitudes toward AI, which is a s...

Children's mental health symptoms' development can be characterized by both continuity and discontinuity. However, existing studies ignore the potential discontinuity in children's internal-izing symptoms' development. Hence, the current study examines continuous and discontinuous developmental trajectories using representative data from a sample o...
Background
Past empirical evidence on the longitudinal relations between emotional mental health symptoms and parent-child close relationships has produced mixed and inconclusive results. Some studies suggest a unidirectional relation, whereas other studies point toward a bidirectional association. Additionally, most of the past research has been c...
The current study examined the within-child, between-child, and between-cohort effects in the longitudinal relations between and within the internalising and externalising mental health symptoms’ domains. Leveraging the data of 5998 children (ages 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 years; 49% female) from the sequential Growing Up in Australia dual-cohort, multig...
Introduction
Metacognitive self-regulation is a crucial factor that promotes students’ learning and achievement. However, the evidence regarding age differences in metacognitive skills is rather mixed, with some evidence pointing toward further refinement and development and other evidence suggesting declining levels. Academic motivation, an import...
Bullying is a recognised serious public problem affecting many students worldwide. Despite the well-established empirical evidence for the negative consequences of bullying on adolescents? mental and physical health and educational outcomes, little is known about the link between bullying victimisation and adolescents? subjective well-being. Moreov...
There are few longitudinal studies of adolescent students’ choice to persist in post‐compulsory education. Hence, the present study introduces a longitudinal model that describes the interplay between sociological and psychological explanations of adolescents’ choice to persist in post‐compulsory education in the UK. Data on parental education, ear...
The role of the school climate in buffering disengagement remains relatively underresearched. The present study examined transitions between classes of early adolescents’ school engagement and relational school climate factors influencing classes of students’ (dis-)engagement, and how these were linked with academic achievement in mid-adolescence....
This study examined the association between internalizing and externalizing mental health and prosociality across four developmental transitions. The effects of parent–child interactions on mental health and prosociality were also explored. The data from a community sample of 10,703 children on mental health, prosociality, child maltreatment, paren...
Variable-centred studies assume that the links between motivation and metacognition with academic achievement are uniform across all students. However, this assumption may not hold and multiple interactions between motivational beliefs and metacognitive self-regulation may occur. To this end, the present study sought to explore these higher-order i...
A lack of qualitative studies examining adolescent students' voices regarding the contextual, relational, and self-regulatory factors that drive their language achievement has been observed. Therefore , the present study aimed to address this issue. Sixteen face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with secondary school students in Gre...
The role of the school climate in buffering disengagement remains relatively underresearched. The present study examined transitions between classes of early adolescents’ school engagement and relational school climate factors influencing classes of students’ (dis-)engagement, and how these were linked with academic achievement in mid-adolescence....
Behavioural and emotional self-regulatory skills facilitate children's engagement with school-related activities, which is a critical antecedent of achievement. Yet, the question remains whether different profiles of behavioural and affective self-regulation and school engagement exist that differentially influence students' achievement. Thus, the...

Aims. Multiple studies have connected parenting styles to children’s internalising and externalising mental health symptoms (MHS). However, it is not clear how different parenting
styles are jointly influencing the development of children’s MHS over the course of childhood.
Hence, the differential effects of parenting style on population heterogene...
In recent decades, national science achievement in Greece is following a declining trend. A commonly held assumption is that achievement declines may occur either due to low quality teaching practices or due to students’ low motivation. While motivational beliefs have been linked with achievement, there is not enough evidence connecting these motiv...
Despite evidence indicating that self-esteem (SE) may be considered a precondition to subjective well-being (SWB), there are inconclusive findings regarding its developmental links with SWB. Considering the declines in SWB, the purpose of this study is to examine the developmental changes in SWB and its relationship with SE in early adolescence. Th...
Adolescence is a period when both mental health (MH) and wellbeing start deteriorating, which raises the question of how the two phenomena are linked and whether deterioration in one might be used to flag problematic developments in the other. While research shows that wellbeing and MH are associated, the direction of the association is not clear an...
Αρκετές έρευνες έχουν εντοπίσει διαφορές στη συχνότητα εμφάνισης του σχολικού εκφοβισμού μεταξύ χωρών, ωστόσο οι λόγοι για τους οποίους παρατηρούνται αυτές οι διαφορές παραμένουν αδιευκρίνιστοι. Βασισμένη στο οικο-πολιτισμικό μοντέλο, η παρούσα διερευνητική μελέτη στοχεύει στην εξέταση των συσχετίσεων μεταξύ οικονομικών και πολιτισμικών μεταβλητών...
Η αυτεπάρκεια αποτελεί σημαντικό παράγοντα που συμβάλλει στην ενίσχυση της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης και γενικότερα, της ψυχικής υγείας των εκπαιδευτικών. Επομένως, σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι να διαπιστώσει τη γενικευσιμότητα και το μέγεθος της σχέσης της αυτεπάρκειας με την επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση των εκπαιδευτικών. 49 συντελεστές συσχέ...
Recently, empirical studies have indicated an association between well-being and mental health. The nature of this association remains unclear since some studies suggest it is weak, whilst others indicate it is strong. The present study seeks to contribute to this dialogue by modelling not only the relationship between well-being and internalising...
Background: Whilst evidence suggests associations between life satisfaction (LS) and mental health (MH), few studies have investigated the direction of effects in middle adolescence and emerging adulthood. In emerging adulthood, evidence indicates reciprocal associations and no gender differences, whereas in early and middle adolescence results are...
Introduction. The prevalence rates of bullying vary significantly across countries and continents. Specifically, UNESCO estimates that the prevalence rates vary from 22.8% (Central America) to 48.2% (Sub-Saharan Africa). Recently these differences among countries and regions have been attributed to culture- and country-level variables. Thus, the fi...

Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι να εξετάσει την επίδραση των υποστηρικτικών πλαισίων/ περιβαλλόντων στην ανάπτυξη του σχολικού εκφοβισμού στα ελληνικά σχολεία. Αξιοποιώντας τα δ...
The purpose of this study was to examine the reverse pathway dynamics between teachers' self-efficacy and job satisfaction from a crosscountry perspective. By recognizing the sparseness of empirical studies on the reciprocal relation between self-referent assessment of capabilities and job satisfaction, a model of reciprocal determinism between tea...
The study aimed at determining the effects of aspects of self-regulated learning (SRL) such as metacognition and motivation on reading comprehension. A nationwide, representative sample (N = 6,403) of 15-year-old Greek adolescents was drawn from the PISA 2018 database. The participants' data on metacognitive knowledge of reading strategies, reading...
Ο γραμματισμός υγείας (health literacy) καθίσταται σημαντικός για την κοινωνική και οικονομική ευημερία του πληθυσμού, αποτελώντας ταυτόχρονα μια ισχυρή έννοια γεφύρωσης ανάμεσα στην εκπαίδευση και την υγεία. Σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν να διερευνηθεί τι πιστεύουν οι εκπαιδευτικοί Πρωτοβάθμιας και Δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης του Ν. Αχαΐας για τ...
The internship of trainee teachers is of paramount importance because it contributes to their professional development through the connection of theory with practice. The purpose of this study was the investigation of the satisfaction of student teachers with their internship during the fifth semester of their studies. Data were collected via a que...
This study aimed at investigating the impact of teachers' self-efficacy, perceptions of administrative support and positive attitude toward students on coping with job-related stress. A sample of 100 in-service primary and pre-primary state-school teachers from the urban region of Patras filled out four short measures on teachers' self-efficacy, pe...
The association between school climate and students' achievement is currently well-documented in international literature. However, the relevant studies, that contemplate the underlying mechanisms of this association, are sparse. Therefore, the present study's purpose is to confirm the mediating effects of intrinsic motivation and reading self-conc...
The goal of the present study is to examine mainly the associations of contextual variables with stress and teachers' psychological well-being across organizational cultures. The responses (N= 51,782) of a population of primary school teachers from 15 different educational cultures were analyzed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was implemented t...
Frequently, applied researchers in the field of educational research utilize questionnaires or scales to elicit responses from participants. However, many of these quantitative measures are used without prior verification of their psychometric properties; that is, they are not tested specifically for construct validity via confirmatory factor analy...
The purpose of this study is twofold: (a) To confirm the mediating role of teachers' self-efficacy between the relation of school climate and teachers' job satisfaction and (b) to tease apart any cross-cultural effects of the association of self-efficacy and job satisfaction by comparing teachers' responses. Drawing upon the publicly available TALI...
Previous research has shown that the attempt to implement New Technologies (NT) in schools is characterized- according to the psychological theories of learning- either as constructivist or traditional. The need for investigation of the NT implementation method, according to primary school teachers’ self-reports, is placed at the center of the pres...

Hello!! I wish to understand whether I could conduct Exploratory Factor Analysis with binary data (correct/ incorrect). According to Bartholomew, Steele, Moustaki and Galbraith (2008) the options are either using a Pearson's product moment correlation matrix or tetrachoric matrix as the basis for EFA. Also, I should mention that I do not wish to construct parcels.
Could you please provide any references that argue for either approach? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!!
