“…Apart from their motivations, there were other factors that simultaneously affected the students' performance (reading engagement effects) in this study. This assertion has been verified by some studies which have shown the links between one's motivation (or stimuli) and performance in learning or working [55,56]. This is in line with the Yerkes-Dodson law [57] which suggests that the association between motivation and outcomes is not linear.…”

Mobile reading is viewed as a promising pathway to reading with sustainable education goals. At present, there have been many studies on the mobile reading of young readers and their reading comprehension by testing their task-based comprehension, but not much attention has been paid to the mobile reading of college students in China and the factors of reading engagement from readers’ perspectives. With the aim to investigate the factors that affect college students’ engagement in mobile reading, this study used interviews with open-ended questions and followed a qualitative content analysis design with an inductive and exploratory approach. The participants of this study were thirty college students with diverse majors out of three universities in Shanghai, China. They were selected from a pre-questionnaire, and these students (N = 30) were chosen from those who read on mobile devices for less than 2 h on average per day (N = 276). The results revealed that the college students perceived a variety of factors affecting their engagement in mobile reading, including the following: four motivational needs (information needs, academic needs, social needs, emotional needs), reading experience, reading efficacy, and reading strategies. It has been assumed that the most common factor that leads to the engagement of college students in mobile reading is the intention to be entertained. The investigation of this study has different results. Even the students who spent the minimum average time mobile reading used it with diverse needs in mind. Nevertheless, students’ reading experience, reading self-efficacy, and reading strategies indicated that sometimes they had difficulties engaging in mobile reading. These difficulties resulted from an imbalance between their needs and their engagement: whether they obtained what they needed. Considering that mobile reading could be an effective way to assist college students’ independent learning and sustainable development in future, it is necessary to understand the factors of mobile reading and rethink how to avoid difficulties to improve the mobile reading engagement of college students.

“…Sin embargo, solo el primer estudio obtuvo resultados similares con valores que catalogaban a los estudiantes de las diferentes carreras con un estrés académico moderado con respecto a la mediana obtenida 23 . Pese a que la presencia de estrés dentro de la universidad es importante no se puede inferir que este podría considerarse como perjudicial para los estudiantes debido a la ley de Yerkes y Dodson, la cual afirma que cierto nivel de estrés podría aumentar la curva de desempeño 14 . Sin embargo, debido a la naturaleza de esta investigación no podríamos realizar esta asociación.…”

“…Analizar los hábitos alimentarios y la actividad física frente al estrés académico es muy importante especialmente por la relevancia que actualmente se le da a la salud mental, especialmente en la agenda de gobierno y de las universidades públicas y privadas en Perú. Además, se debe considerar que conocer el nivel de estrés en el ámbito universitario es importante para poder mejorar la respuesta académica en los estudiantes como se propone en la ley de Yerkes-Dodson; pero esta respuesta está sujeta a una temporalidad máxima 14 .…”

“…Many recent service learning programmes (SLPs) have been developed and implemented by education institutions around the world (Garger, Vracheva, & Jacques, 2020;George, Menon, Thevanoor, & Tharakan, 2020;Gonzales, Harmon, & Fenn, 2021;Herlina, Widodo, Madhakomala, 2019;Rodríguez-Izquierdo, 2020) and in South Africa (Botha & Bezuidenhout, 2020;Du Plessis, 2020;Jacobs, 2020), but the research of these programmes have generally focused on the studentorientated benefits derived from the SLP, which include: the ability to apply and master course content and theory (du Toit, 2019;Juaneda-Ayensa, Olarte-Pascual, San Emeterio, & Pelegrín-Borondo, 2019); deeper learning (Matzembacher, Gonzales, & do Nascimento, 2019); increased employability Hence, the main aim of the research was to consider the influence of the student agency working relationships on the participating SL client organizations' satisfaction. The study also considered the effect of the agency-client working relationship on SL clients and student agency variables, and SLP measurement variables (nature of the working relationship, perceived usefulness, lasting impact, overall satisfaction, and future participation) in terms of satisfaction.…”

This study investigated a service learning programme (SLP), which was established by the Marketing Department at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) in South Africa. The purpose of the SLP was to provide community partners (small businesses) marketing services at minimal or no cost by granting undergraduate marketing students the opportunity to practically apply the theoretical marketing communication teaching in a real-life business environment. The students formed agencies and were required to establish a real-life agency-client working relationship with their chosen community partners (SL clients) (that had little to no marketing communication) to develop a campaign plan in a bid to improve marketing performance. The primary research aim of the study was to examine the influence of the student agency working relationships on the community partners' satisfaction. The research also investigated the effect of the agency-client relationship on SL client, student agency and SLP measurement variables. A quantitative approach was used to survey community partners that participated in the CPUT Marketing Department SLP over a five year period via a questionnaire. The perceptions of 107 client community partners' were analyzed via ANOVA to determine the benefits, challenges and experiences of the SLP. The research revealed that a vast majority of the participating SL client organizations were either satisfied or very satisfied with the agency-client working relationships with the student agencies. The SLP agency-client working relationships were also found to yield significantly positive associations with perceived usefulness, lasting impact, overall satisfaction and future participation by the community partners.
