Academic Achievement - Science topic

I am currently working on a study (for academic purposes) about measuring state curiosity in an emotion-inducing condition. However, we're having a hard time finding a perfect scale to measure their current curiosity. Can someone recommend us a state curiosity scale that we can use with a valid value and scoring and interpretation as well as it's license to administer if available or anything that can be a proof to show that we can use the scale for academic purpose.

With the rise of AI-powered tools, interdisciplinary collaboration, and data-driven methods, “Research 5.0” promises to redefine how we conduct and disseminate scientific work. How do you see this next iteration of research shaping our approaches to complex problems, fostering more efficient collaboration, or influencing ethical considerations?

I’d love to hear about successful case studies, potential pitfalls, and best practices—particularly regarding how to scale research efforts and maintain data integrity in this new paradigm. Feel free to share links, resources, or personal experiences.

Let’s explore together how “Research 5.0” could reshape the future of academic and industry collaborations.

I want to understand very well the dependent and independent variables from this research topic "Parental Factors as Determinants of Early Childhood Academic Achievement and Interest English Studies in Pre-primary Schools of North-West Nigeria for a better explanation

H-INDEX & CITATION EVALUATIONS OF ACADEMICIANS, HOW MUCH RELIABLE !?

If after doing PhD, a research scholar has 4 to 5 papers published, and all are published in the same journal (SCIE), then what impact does it have on his future teaching, academic career, or post-doc?

The Ph.D. is a challenging course that can be attractive at the same time. The reactions of people and their experiences in this course can be different. In this discussion, I intend to talk about the lived experiences of the Ph.D. students. What experiences (good or bad, positive or negative) have you had in this course?

Hi,

What are the main guidelines, could you give for a new researcher who is going to make a research proposal?

Thank you.

Just in case, here is a description of Researchgate's Research Spotlights feature

I am writing to you today about the educational experiences that Researcher.Life curate for researchers. We are in the process of creating a holistic training course for researchers specifically in Europe and have put together a survey to understand the needs and requirements of researchers better.  The course is meant to be most helpful for early-to-mid career researchers to help with finding work-life balance, emotional and stress management, self-improvement, and enhanced productivity. It would be great if you could share your inputs and ask fellow researchers who are based in Europe, and who are in your network to fill out the survey, that will really help as well (to get their point of view). The survey should take no more than 3 minutes of your time.  Click here to take it https://lnkd.in/dRpVk9Ve Thank you in advance for making time for this.  On behalf of the Researcher.Life Ambassador Program

RG now has more than 25 millions of users worldwide as announced at

Do you know of any good non-intrusive ways of communicating updates to your research within the ResearchGate site to mimic the project update feature?

This question arises as Researchgate will discontinue the projects feature altogether on March 31, 2023 as announced at

and this decision is apparently final.

It is not uncommon to move from one place to the other as fa as working institutions is concerned. This could occurs due to many factors. Someone worked for three years at MIT, and at Harvard University currently. His/her affiliation is Harvard University at present.

If he/she want to publish a research work done at previous work institution (MIT), which institution is used as affiliation for the researchers to be written in title page of the research work? The current or previous institution?

Thank you in advance!

Working in the research field, you will be weighted by your h-index.

However, publications might not be cited by others despite your hard work.

Do you think we should publish only citable research or publish as many as we could to contribute the academic field?

In a given class room, if all the class is unable to understand what you teach, and the whole class scores F grade (Fixed grading system), is there possibility that the whole class is dismissed? In other words, if the whole class scores an average grade of less than the pass mark cut point in all the subjects, can the whole class be dismissed? Assume 10 subjects are taught by 10 different teachers.

Most PhD students think about disseminating their work worldwide. Don't you think that each form of publication has pros (articles are quickly read while books are highly rewarding...) as well as challenges (articles are less impactful while books take a longer time to get published)? What would you prefer most?

Is your current job related to your academic specialization ?

It is the trending topic for a publisher this week.

I want to learn the opinion of Academia members. Is it due to environmental factors or personal over-ambition?

Why does anyone commit fraud?

Dear scholar, I am wondering as I could not see the article citations in my google scholar for this article. I found other my article published in this journal have google citations. I have also self cited this article as it was my first article related to Covid-19.

"Hom Nath Chalise (2020). COVID-19 situation in Nepal, Archives of Psychiatry and Mental Health.4, 033-034. doi:10.29328/journal.apmh.1001015 "

I found this article has 0 citations in google scholar, but it has more than 30 citations.

How could you judge someone by publication and impact factor of journal or publisher?

What you think it’s easy to publish work in a high impact factor journal without funding? Nature and MDPI and Hindwai and PlosOne and other good journals are open access...and having Article processing charges...

How do you judge the success of a particular presentation st conferences, workshops and seminars?

Kindly share your valued opinion. Best regards

As science is principally aimed to help developing life facilities for human being through widening and enhancing our knowledge of what is happening, happened, and will happen in the future, I wonder if scientific research in the last decades is really oriented to achieve its goals. Can you give me your feedback on this subject matter?

What makes a researcher independent and how this can be practised? How to enable any such skill among PhD/Post-Doc students, or even before that stage? Please Feel Free to add your observation, arguments and experience.

Dear Academics,

Kindly could you comment here that how this Research Gate Academic Platform was important, beneficial and helpful for you to build up your academic life up to now.

was this helpful for changing your,

Thank you and Best regards.

Differentiating Science from Pseudoscience is becoming a challenge at so many levels these days. How can we separate the two and acknowledge a grey area in between?

Notwithstanding the "big journal syndrome", high impact journals are the most efficient way to communicate novel findings of a study to a bigger audience.

However, high rejection rates which are up to 80% deter most researchers from submitting their work to these journals. Most manuscripts are rejected outrightly at the desktop because the title reflects a lack of novelty or simply is not aligned to the scope of the journal. Some journal insist on consistent formatting, etc

Publishing in a high impact journal can be a meticulous life trouncing process for upcoming researchers. It is most rewarding when the researcher is invited to share the findings in research conferences, because of being regarded as an expert in this field.

What are strategies that can help upcoming researchers to publish their work in high impact journals?

Our research world has become dependant on research output.

Many academic jobs depend on a certain sustained level of research.

Is this unhealthy?

Does it stunt creativity? Does it create pointless research? Does it lead to plagiarism?

Should we have different outcome measures eg a Research Quality Score per article, rather than number of articles?

There are several university ranking agencies that are gaining popularity among students, parents, universities, private organizations, and even governments.

The criteria used by these agencies are so different that, being in a top 100 in one ranking might put you in the top 300 in the other. Should these rankings be taken seriously? Should they be used as a measure of the students' quality for postgraduate study, or job entry application?

Dear all,

Singapore is leading the list of nations scoring outstandingly in the PISA and TIMSS tests globally. Ask a Singaporean student - does he play sport or does he enjoy his school-tuition-homework life? Is he really enjoying his children years? Would be interesting to have some answers from them here....

My actual question was .....do you think PISA is just measuring the academic ability of a student? Dont you think we need to measure some other things as well to be clear on which students will probably be living better lives and also be involved in bettering lives around them? We do not just need academically strong pupils but ones who can lead us in shaping our future.

PISA tests are a good way to know where we stand academically in comparison to the rest of the world, that i agree but who is measuring the cost at which the students are able to perform better?

What do you think?

Dear All,

I have noticed that there are a few companies, which are selling awards for research scholars and professors. For example, I often receive such emails (mentioned below) from different companies. What is your opinion on this?

For the past few years I have been in doubt and a question about the nature of research always occupies a part of my mind.

As researchers, we have been asking and researching for years. We may become famous in our own field and eventually be remembered as an influential scientist. But the question is what is the final outcome of the research-based lifestyle for the researcher?

In other words, what is valuable in research that motivates a scientist to do research all or most of his/her life?

Ps: I have this view on other issues as well. Why does anyone farm all their life or be a teacher or a doctor? Why should these things be important for the person to do for many years?

I'm a bit confuse how to measure students' learning. I have used word 'learning' in my research topic and now I'm struck what kind of questionnaire or any other tool would be used to measure students' learning not their performance or achievement. I need a clarification about the term 'Learning"

Hello researchers,

I am conducting a factor analysis (FA). In this FA there are some items on student performance or achievement in relation to different subjects and skills. Each student has been assessed by their main teacher in relation to their skill level in Danish, math, natural sciences, music, reading etc. on a scale from 1 - 5 (from poor to great).

The reliability is high and there is a high degree of correlation between the items. However, when it comes to naming this factor, I am in doubt. I have named this factor 'academic achievement' initially but would it be more precise to call it 'academic performance' or something else?

Do you know any formal definition of academic achievement or academic performance in education research? What is the difference between the two?

I am not sure if any one study on this topic. It has been observed in certain cases that success-full researchers have poor academic record. These are exceptions, I am interested to know any study on this topic. Please also cite examples that shows negative or positive examples. Ideally there should be high positive correlation, if it is not than why?

I mean if person got good grade/marks or rank at school/university level will be a grate scientist. For example if topper of JEE (top exam in India for getting admission in engineering college) join research, he/she will be best scientist in the world.

Dear all RG members,

As we know, PhD candidates face many obstacles during their studies such as (financial issues, psychological problems, family, work, and even academic issues and so on) which may lead to decrease their level of performance. So, based on your experience, what is your advice for PhD candidates to keep them motivated during phd journey and complete their studies on time?

Thank you in advance.

Is it possible to remove ones name from search engines such as SCUPUS and WEBB of Science and the on line version of the article after an article is published? So second author becomes first etc. Is it possible and in that case how to proceed? Is it possible to also remove your own name and leave the names of the co-authors on RG? Best wishes Henrik

Dear friends

I hope you had a nice summer. I sometimes get the comment that academia is not relevant from business colleagues and clients in my consultancy business. For me academia has always been something I have been careful not to associate my self too much with, even if I love to teach. My question is that if there is a way to bridge this gap or conflict between academics and practitioners? I often hear highly negative and degrading comments aimed towards academia from business leaders, some of which have themselves masters or Phd.

I think in the long run this is bad because it reduces the opportunities for academics and makes the transition between one field to another more difficult. I can my self admit to having a bias, meaning I would think twice before employing someone who has been in academia for an extended period of time.I realise this is something I need to work on, prejudice and generalisation is never good!. I think there are a lot of competent people in academia but in many ways academia has become a world of its own with little or no connection to the real world, making it more difficult to move from academia to for example a managerial role or consultancy, what works in theory doesn't always work in practice. Do you have any experiences from the vantage point of an academic? My experience is mainly from the other side, that of a business owner but it would be interesting to also hear the other side. Do you have any experiences? How can this gap between academia and "the world" be bridged or should it?How can we change the view of private businesses that academia is somehow a different world inhabited by some very odd creatures?

Also note that there is no intent of disrespect or hostility on my behalf towards academia or academics. I might have deep rooted issues with the current state of academia but many of my friends are academics. .

I wish you all a wonderful day

I am graduating from business school as part of my med school program in two weeks. I'm working on a paper with a team that will be ready to submit for publication this week. Most likely, I will actually have my degree by the time the manuscript is in front of a reviewer, and definitely by the time it's published. Is it permissible for me to include my MBA in the author's section since I will have it before publication, or am I required to leave it off because I do not officially have the degree at the time of submission?

How do interdisciplinarity and collaboration influence the visibility of your published work?

I'm seeking a justification for the existence of academic philosophical work.

My question is about established 'insights': stable advances, which are largely exempted from any further controvery (about progress ...).

I'm thinking of insights significant not merely for academic philosophical debates themselves (because such justification of academic philosophical work would be circular), but of advances which are relevant or thrilling to those 'out there'.

POSSIBLE EXAMPLES: (a) The objective existence of moral facts was proven by ... in ...; (b) The nature/notion of 'justice' was properly displayed by ... in ...; (c) An explanation was given of how brains 'generate' mind by ... in ...

Just imagine someone claiming that academic philosophical work is actually quite futile, that during the past hundred years, for example, academic philosophical work delivered no discernible progress at all. Then, try to reject their doubts by giving three or four striking counter-examples.

There are, of course (correspondingly), "idiotic" Questions. And ridiculous speculations by-analogy (and by-analogy is always suspect). (An example of "Answers" by foundation-less and link-less analogy is " 'quantum' explanations" to several psychological things; it is a bad joke any such person could have a graduate degree !) Sorry: my perception of common things here on RG. And, after years of nonsense, I have decided to state my observation.

It is likely very nearly pointless that I am here on RG (and there have been only so many years I have been able to try to fool myself).

The Mercator Institute for Literacy and Language Education at the University of Cologne, Germany, is conducting a systematic review on the effectiveness of language integrated strategies (e.g. scaffolding, Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP)) in classrooms. In this review, it is intended to collate, critically appraise and synthesize existing research evidence according to pre-defined criteria.

To complement our electronic database search, we are looking for manuscripts/working papers/project reports/dissertations (except for BA-/MA-thesis) that have not (yet) been published or submitted for publication (and are not (yet) indexed in databases).

We are interested in (quasi-)experimental and observational studies using a control group design that (statistically) examine

If you have carried out this type of study or if first results of an ongoing study are available, we would like to kindly request the document. Submitted studies will be reviewed by the project team; studies that match the review inclusion criteria will be included in the final review synthesis (i.e. summarized and discussed). Publication of the results is planned for 2021.

Of course, your submissions will only be used within the scope of the review and will not be passed to third parties.

Please send documents by September 30th, 2019 to Leonie Twente at leonie.twente@mercator.uni-koeln.de. If you have any questions, please contact Till Woerfel at till.woerfel@mercator.uni-koeln.de. Alternatively you can use the comment field below.

Hello fellow researchers,

I am writing an introduction on a new article on social marginalization in school, where I wish to refer to leading research on well-being (or school belonging) and academic achievement in school. Do you know any articles in which the relationship between student well-being and academic achievement is analyzed thoroughly? Is there any evidence that more well-being leads to higher academic achievements? How strong is this relationship and has it been quantified in former research?

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

For evaluation of students activity and for final exam... based on Online learning... what does the type question that must be adopted to makes the process work in the right way..

I’m completing a research project in college, it’s on “birth order and the effects it has on self esteem and academic motivation”.

My three objectives are

1. To identify differences in academic motivation based on birth order

2. To identify differences in self esteem based on birth order

3. To analyse the relationship between birth order, self esteem and academic motivation.

I’m using questionnaires for this research but I need to use a different statistical test using SPSS for each of my 3 objectives but I don’t know what to do, any help would be greatly appreciated!

What's the right time to develop/finish mastering and doctorship research and what do you think about the pressure imposed?

Dear All,

I would like to understand, other than teaching and leaning, what have been real output from the research undergoing in academic institutions across the world? Please also provide some examples to easily understand this matter.

Postgraduate students are often at loss searching for answers to the question of 'what is a suitable focus for my dissertation? Lately, I found that inexperienced staff members also go through this ordeal.

Generally, academic career starts with great hopes and expectations. First decade receiving a doctorate degree, new lecture experiences provide a high level of motivation. But sometimes managers can force you to work with a lot of workload. Academic steps are difficult. The lucky ones gain experience abroad and develop their renewed self. Some become unable to handle the workload and their motivation falls. As soon as some of them have less academic work, they lose interest in academia. They find other efforts to give up academic progress. After 15 years, competence increases. The main motivations of the academician who have good relations with the students are their students. But after 15 years fatigue, some things lose meaning lowers motivation. Excessive effort in intensive work such as symposium, preparing the whole faculty lesson plan and accreditation can create discomfort. Often academics are optimistic. But the use of most of the efforts of their superiors can reduce motivation. At the end of 20 years, the motivation can still be maintained by being honored in a certain field. How do you think it is possible not to lose motivation for years due to these thoughts?

Although it is widely accepted that early involvement in research has many advantages for medical students, there is a controversy regarding whether students are actually getting enough research opportunities. Which are the main barriers towards conducting research for an undergraduate student and how could the involvement rates be improved?

I would like to open this discussion and kindly invite you to make comments reflecting your opinion on this topic.

Thank you for your consideration,

Best regards,

Eleftherios

I am interested in exploring whether criteria for academic success for professors are culture-sensitive. Is it the academic rank, publications, or teaching excellence?

A lot of international research conferences are happening these days , how can we decide a conference has academic and research worth.

Dear all,

I noticed that some of the academic staff at several universities are keen to teach a different subject every year when they got lectureship jobs at the same university they are working in or when they moved out to another one.

Does this enhance their knowledge in their specialists or not?

As a recently published doctoral student, I have found it difficult to share my work with others as I am (obviously) unknown (yet, hopefully). I have used the standard social media route of sharing the links to your articles but I feel that there must be other creative ways to doing this.

One other method that I thought is useful is by using Kudos (https://link.growkudos.com/1jsw7cnzoxs) which is a fantastic way of accelerating your research impact by communicating your work using much simpler terms.

Do you have other strategies? I would love to hear about them.

We can no longer pick just "the most important thing"; RATHER making any field of human activity, in which you ARE personally much involved, empirically better will help not only that field but tend to help the modus operandi in several/many other fields. Any major change will be inspirational -- and some of this will be useful and in appropriate ways more generally useful. (This may seem self-serving (on my part), but I really believe "you do what you can, where you can" is part of an individual being her/his best and THAT MATTERS more generally. Otherwise you just have some small positive effect on the "most important" matters. Obviously, you do what you can there; but, given your actual expertise, this effect will be limited. )

Are citations enough to know someones work? Many people from the industry contact me & thank me for my writings. How the industry part is measured??

Citations are complete picture of an academic contribution in social sciences?

I know so many people around me writing papers for the sake of writing papers to get it published. Conducting studies in the field where they never worked, not even have a chance to work in those industries/companies, yet they are writing and claiming to be the expert of the area based on the citations.

I am writing my PhD Dissertation on Dyslexia and Academic Achievement, I am looking for Dyslexia screening Test and Academic Achievement Questionnaire ? Please help if you have any academic sources.

I am conducting research on the factors that influence a college student's choice of a major and minor.

So, I'd like to ask you what factors influenced your decision of your academic major?

What was your best achievement in 2018?

Like the title says, what would be your thoughts on how academic publishing would be in a perfect world? Describe how you would like publishing to be and how far off it is from today's current situation.

Dear all,

I have a problem about finding current studies about my project which is related with humanoid robot head. Actully my question is not specific for this subject but it s general question for all fields of science. I am trying to find the latest study with using references of related papers, however I cannot find the last limit of it.

Thanks to all

With the established concept that each "Course Learning Outcome" should map one or more "Program Learning Outcome", does the Instructor holds an Autonomy to change the "Course Learning Outcomes" and simultaneously map it to a different "Program Learning Outcome"?

We are conducting a meta-analysis on the effect of mindset interventions (i.e., implicit theory interventions; Blackwell, Trzesniewski, & Dweck, 2007) on academic achievement. We are asking for any data you may have relevant to this topic where:

1. The study administered a mindset/implicit theory intervention directly to students;

2. The study included a comparison group (active control group, passive control group, fixed mindset/entity theory treatment comparison);

3. The study measured academic achievement (e.g., grade in a class, exam grade, GPA or performance on a standardized test) of those who participated in the intervention/were assigned to the comparison group following the intervention.

We aim to be exhaustive, so please send us any paper or results that you think may fit the criteria, including posters, spreadsheets, manuscript drafts, papers in press, dissertations, theses, etc. If you are willing to share your unpublished results or data file (whichever is more convenient for you), we would be grateful if you would send it in any form to burgoyn4@msu.edu.

How can I correlate a 4-point scale to the academic achievement (performance scores) of the students? What inferential statistical tool should I use? What could be the step-by-step process to do it?

Evaluating academic faculty for promotions often include assessing their teaching abilities. Is it sensible to base these on Student Course Evaluations?

Geoffrey Alderman wrote in the Gaurdian that a reason for the decline in academic standards has been the 'increasing and increasingly stupid use of students' course evaluations as pivotal factors in the academic promotion process.'

Does anyone have a deeper insight on how the use of such student evaluations have impacted faculty at their own institutes? Have they led to dumbing down?

How much confidence would you have in the teaching ability of the applicant if the evidence was exclusively based on Student Course Evaluations?

This questionnaire provides a description of your leadership in technological pursuit which I will use for my research. It is for evaluation of leaders in academic and industry that are making feat in technological advancement. Twenty‐seven descriptive statements are listed. Judge how frequently each statement fits you. The word others may mean your followers, colleagues, clients, students, staffs, or group members

Hi,

I am interested in academics' experiences of attending conferences. How have you found them? Have you experienced or witnessed gender, academic status, 'race', class or otherwise bias?

Is this the status-quo? Is it particular subjects where this is experienced? What can be done about this?

I am interested in the ways in which academics overcome imposter syndrome while at the same time trying to instil a sense of confidence in students.

I am therefore interested in hearing about:

- The lived experience imposter syndrome in your working life

- How this feeling is negotiated and overcome (or not)

- What are the possible impacts of experiencing imposter syndrome on your students?

- Possible reasons why you suffer from imposter syndrome - e.g. first in family to be an academic, prior experience, intersectionality?

- Advice for other academics who feel the same way.

Many thanks!
