However, little empirical research has examined how creative metacognition and risk-taking work on creative performance in educational practice. This paper explored the moderating effects of creative metacognition on the relationships between different types of risk-taking (i.e., propensity for taking a risk, willingness to take a risk) and creative performance (i.e., general creativity, originality, usefulness) in a middle school context. The sample consisted of 350 7th- and 8th-grade students from three middle schools. They completed a survey and a creative performance task. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that creative metacognition moderated the relationships between willingness to take a risk and both originality and usefulness. The results indicated that creative metacognition reinforces the positive effect of risk-taking on originality and mitigates the negative effect of risk-taking on usefulness. Our findings suggest a potential role for creative metacognition in enhancing curriculum-based creative performance in middle schools.

To answer the question of how teachers utilize DI in K-12 classrooms, this systematic review was based on 61 empirical studies on DI published between 2000 and 2022. It examined the current status and trends of implementing DI in K-12 education and integrated various factors involved in the process of DI, including educational levels, subjects, student difference analysis, instructional methods, content, tools, assessment methods, and instructional effectiveness. The findings indicated that (1) DI was most commonly used in primary school mathematics and language classrooms, with the majority of studies having sample sizes exceeding 100 and lasting for more than 6 months; (2) The most frequently employed form of DI was ability grouping, often grouped based on academic achievement; (3) Information technology tools and resources can empower differentiated instruction; (4) Most studies utilized standardized tests, questionnaires, and scales as evaluation tools, with a focus on the impact of DI on students’ academic achievement and skills; and (5) The effectiveness of DI was controversial and influenced by multiple factors, such as may be associated with the instructional methods. In response to these findings, the study introduces a comprehensive DI model. This model, rooted in the perspective of instructional design, elucidates the interconnected factors of DI. It serves as a valuable reference for the future design and implementation of DI, offering a practical guide for educators aiming to create inclusive and effective learning environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47344,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Education Review","volume":"25 2","pages":"507 - 525"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139769005","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}

Accordingly, in this study, students’ responses to the CE curriculum content are investigated in a constrained social context taking an agency perspective. Drawing on qualitative data set in two high schools in China, the study revealed that the students learned the official content of the CE curriculum with agency by critiquing textbooks, spending limited time on the subject, memorizing the textbooks’ contents without taking them seriously, and most importantly, deliberately determining what to be incorporated, reinterpreted, and resisted. The findings also showed that students’ agentic citizenship learning resulted from the interplay of four elements: students’ agentic orientations (interest and aspirations, prior political experience and knowledge, and practical evaluation); teachers’ modifications of the CE content; a high-stakes testing educational system; and China’s contested civic environment.

This study, using an e-book experiment, explores the factors that predict reading comprehension ability among indigenous Taiwanese high school students using different teaching methods (teacher read aloud and teacher questioning). The participants were indigenous students studying at a high school in Hualien County, Taiwan. Using five scales, the study investigated correlations among two teaching methods and prior knowledge, reading comprehension, reading strategies, reading attitudes, and reading motivation. Correlation analysis and hierarchical regression were conducted to assess the impact of the two main teaching methods on reading comprehension scores and predictive factors. The results indicated that both methods showed a significant positive correlation with prior knowledge and with reading comprehension scores. In the teacher read-aloud method, reading motivation showed a significant positive correlation with reading comprehension scores, while for the use of teacher questioning, reading strategies provided a significant positive correlation with reading comprehension scores. This study sheds light on the predictive factors for reading learning among indigenous Taiwanese students under different teaching methods, which holds considerable significance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47344,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Education Review","volume":"25 2","pages":"489 - 506"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139528353","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}
