International migration has led to a rise in the number of families in which at least one parent is foreign-born. Increases have also been observed in both the rate of partnership separation, leading to a greater number of single-parent households and an increase in the number of families where grandparents have assumed caring responsibilities for their grandchildren. Evidence indicates a strong relationship between family structure and children’s educational outcomes. Parental involvement is well documented as a key ingredient for the educational success of children. Drawing on Taiwanese multi-wave survey data (Taiwan Assessment of Student Achievement) and a machine-learning-based propensity score algorithm for multiple treatments, this paper aims to determine the various relationships between children from different household structures (two-parent households, skipped generation households, single-parent households, and immigrant households) and their cognitive knowledge (measured by test scores). Key findings reveal that children from skipped generation households achieve the lowest performance scores and that those from immigrant households tend to perform even better than children from traditional two-parent households in certain disciplines. Our results suggest that policy interventions targeted at providing remedial education and/or financial assistance are needed to support children from skipped generation families to redress existing educational disadvantages in Taiwan.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47344,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Education Review","volume":"25 4","pages":"939 - 957"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12564-023-09916-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139008775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of concerns surrounding the establishment of globally renowned universities in China, this study applies Simon’s Bounded Rationality Theory (Q J Econ 69(1):99–118, https://doi.org/10.2307/1884852, 1957, Models of bounded rationality, MIT Press, Cambridge, 1982) to examine the decision-making tendencies of students when faced with limited information. The study analyzes survey data collected from 10 senior high schools in Henan province. Our findings reveal that students lack clarity regarding Chinese universities and majors. Students’ misconceptions about Tsinghua and Beida are linked to insufficient information and socially entrenched images of these two universities. Students’ social environment may subtly influence their choice between Tsinghua and Beida, with different socioeconomic backgrounds resulting in varying expectations. Additionally, we identified enrollment strategies that impact high school students’ choices. The study provides policy implications for Chinese elite universities and suggests that universities can enhance enrollment strategies by effectively promoting their institutions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47344,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Education Review","volume":"25 2","pages":"475 - 487"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138594671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the field of physics education, recent research regarding the performance of ChatGPT-3.5 in solving physics problems discovered that its problem-solving abilities were only at the level of novice students, insufficient to cause outstanding alarm in the field of physics education. However, the release of ChatGPT-4 presented substantial improvements in reasoning and conciseness. How does this translate to performance in solving physics problems, and what kind of impact might it have on education? This study undertakes a comprehensive assessment of ChatGPT-4’s performance in solving physics problems from the perspective of physics conceptual understanding and reasoning, and compares its performance with that of students. It is concluded that ChatGPT-4’s performance in solving physics problems has significantly improved compared to ChatGPT-3.5, and was notably superior to the majority of middle school and high school students. This finding presents both a challenge and an opportunity for physics education and the broader educational field, and triggers immediate considerations for coping with this challenge in future teaching and assessment environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47344,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Education Review","volume":"25 5","pages":"1379 - 1389"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138527664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preschoolers’ learning effectiveness was assessed using a learning effectiveness scale, and their working memory capacity was measured using digit span and Corsi memory tasks. The results revealed that learning effectiveness for preschoolers was high when intrinsic cognitive load in instructional materials was low, and it was low when extraneous cognitive load was added to instructional materials. Groups with high working memory capacity showed higher learning effectiveness than those with low capacity. Furthermore, in various teaching plan conditions, learning effectiveness varied depending on children’s working memory capacity.

However, the impact of the three psychological needs, perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness, on online self-regulated learning remains unclear. This investigated the association between the satisfaction of psychological needs and the six dimensions of online self-regulated learning. This cross-sectional study adopted a quantitative approach. In all, 315 students from four higher education institutions participated in the present study. Students were asked to complete the online questionnaire of psychological need satisfaction and an online self-regulated learning questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was performed to examine the structural relationships between the two. Our study showed that perceived autonomy predicted goal setting, environment structuring, time management, and self-evaluation but did not predict help-seeking and task strategies. Perceived competence did not predict environment structuring. Perceived relatedness predicted environment structuring, help-seeking, and self-evaluation. This study appears to be the first to examine the predictions of need satisfaction to increase students’ capability in regulating their learning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47344,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Education Review","volume":"26 3","pages":"609 - 619"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12564-023-09910-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135042961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
