This study acknowledges the supervisor-student nexus in contributing to a new generation of academics as key agents in the development of a knowledge economy. Using an autoethnographic inquiry approach we reflect on our supervisory experiences at two universities of technology in South Africa, unpack power relations in the supervision process and critique the models and styles of supervision. We use reflective narratives to unpack the complexities of the student-supervisor journey that can be dark, rough, and lonely. The principles of participatory learning environments and the tenets laid down by the Freirean notion of a Humanising Pedagogy is adopted as a framework underpinning this paper.

A qualitative design was used, with 21 Chinese parents and six Thai educators or policymakers interviewed to gather their views regarding this growing trend. The central argument of this study is that China's \"Juan\" culture, characterized by relentless academic competition and limited holistic growth, has become a key driver behind Chinese parents’ decisions to send their children abroad. Thailand emerges as a preferred destination due to its perceived balance between academic rigor and personal development. However, this decision is accompanied by challenges such as language barriers, cultural adaptation, and concerns about education quality. Conversely, opportunities include exposure to a different learning system, potential bilingual proficiency, and enhanced future career prospects. To maximize the benefits and address the challenges, this study recommends strengthening information dissemination, developing tailored support mechanisms in Thai institutions, promoting cooperation between Chinese and Thai educational institutions, and reinforcing policies to improve the international education experience of these students in Thailand.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73445,"journal":{"name":"International journal of educational research open","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100458"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143578405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The behavioural phenomenon of Phubbing has received much traction recently with the increasing dependence of individuals on internet-enabled-digital devices. Students have now been using digital gadgets to achieve their academic goals. Hence, we assume that the phenomenon of phubbing may also be prevalent among students, which might influence their ability to overcome everyday academic challenges (low levels of academic buoyancy, i.e., the ability of students to deal with their academic tasks).</div></div><div><h3>Design</h3><div>The present work explores the relationship between the two recently studied concepts of Phubbing and Academic Buoyancy. The current study collected data from students of management schools ranked among the Top 10 in India, as per India's National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranking for 2024. The authors used survey methodology to collect data, which involved sending a questionnaire link to 300 students, out of which 258 students reverted back to the survey. After filtering out the data for incomplete surveys, the final sample included 203 students. Reliable and validated psychometric scales were used to analyze the constructs of the current study. A 7-point Likert scale was used to assess each item. For the analysis, structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed.</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>The results supported our hypothesis at a 5 per cent level of significance. We find that the act of phubbing is associated with lower academic buoyancy among the students, and the relation between the two is mediated by imposter syndrome. The results show that phubbing can lead to a detrimental impact on students' capability to perform effectively. The frequent display of phubbing indicates grave behavioural issues because of imposter syndrome, which manifests as lower academic buoyancy. Academic practitioners can enhance their understanding of the factors leading to lower capabilities among students and approach the problem accordingly.</div></div><div><h3>Originality</h3><div>The current study extends the academic literature by showing the impact of phubbing on the levels of academic buoyancy. The study also suggests that phubbing would influence academic buoyancy through the individual's level of feelings of imposter syndrome. The higher the phubbing, the higher the feeling of imposter syndrome, which would lead to a lower level of academic buoyancy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73445,"journal":{"name":"International journal of educational research open","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100460"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143578408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a vital step towards reducing the negative academic and psychosocial sequelae that are disproportionate among students who have persisting reading and spelling difficulties. This protocol will describe a randomised controlled trial that will explore whether the provision of fortnightly in-school coaching directed towards early years reading and spelling instruction will result in improved word reading and spelling skills for students in the first three years of school. Across Victoria, Australia, 22 schools will be provided with a suite of professional learning and sets of teaching resources. Of these 22 schools, 10 will receive fortnightly coaching over a two-year period. The primary outcome measure will be students’ word reading skills at 24 months. Secondary outcome measures include students’ spelling along with various tools designed to conduct an in-depth process analysis.
