“…By proactively enhancing the classroom atmosphere and strengthening interaction with students, teachers significantly improve students' engagement. It has a positive impact on enhancing students' AP (Aguilera and Perales-Palacios, 2020;Tong et al, 2022). On the contrary, if teachers fail to assume their rightful responsibilities and resort to violent behavior towards students, it can negatively affect both student behavior and their emotional well-being, ultimately hampering their AP (Kiziltepe et al, 2020).…”

BackgroundEnhancing the academic performance (AP) of college students can contribute to the overall scientific literacy among this population, thereby fostering societal progress.ObjectiveThe study investigates the correlation between college students’ AP and the socio-educational environment (SEE, including family, roommates, and teachers), study motivation (SM, including self-efficacy and study behaviors). Based on the research findings, recommendations are offered to students, educators, and school administrators.SettingsUtilizing a stratified sampling approach, data was collected by selecting a sample of 330 first-year computer science students from a specific local university in Hebei Province, China.MethodsData will be collected through a hierarchical sampling method. Using correlation analysis, difference analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) as data analysis methods. The data passed reliability and validity analysis (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.88, KMO = 0.88, χ2/df = 1.49RMSEA = 0.04).ResultsThe independent sample T-test results showed that female students had higher academic performance than male students (p < 0.001), and there was no significant difference in academic performance between students from single parent or orphan families and students from normal families (p = 0.14), from non urban areas and from urban areas (p = 0.67). The results of the mediating effect analysis indicate that SM exerts complete mediation in the association between SEE and AP, with a mediating effect value of 0.18.ConclusionThe educational disparity between urban and rural areas in China is gradually narrowing. Support policies for students from impoverished families in higher education institutions are showing initial effectiveness. The conducive learning environment and educational atmosphere for students can indirectly influence their psychological state, thus impacting their academic performance during their university years.

“…Enriched virtual type: In this model, students complete most of their coursework online, but they also attend scheduled face-to-face sessions with their teachers for additional support and instruction [67]. The effectiveness of each blended learning type may depend on various factors, such as the learners' individual needs, the quality of instructional materials, and the skills and training of the teachers [68]. Additionally, different blended learning models may be more effective for different subject areas or specific groups of learners.…”

Introduction. Proficiency in English is becoming increasingly important in the global economy, especially in business and finance. By studying English, economics students can improve their communication skills, gain access to information, career opportunities, and gain a competitive edge in their academic and professional interests. That is why in the modern system of higher education, the process of teaching a foreign language in a professional direction requires special attention, which involves the preparation of future specialists for the use of a foreign (English) language in specific business areas. An important property for effective intercultural communication is the ability to correctly formulate statements and understand the speech of other people in English. An important property for effective intercultural communication is the ability to correctly formulate statements and understand the speech of other people in English. First of all, communication should be carried out by mastering the English professional vocabulary (EPV). In turn, the possession of EPV is one of the most important components of the formation of speech competence up to level B2 (according to the all-European scale of levels CEFR), which is the main aspect of learning English at a university for students of foreign language professional communicative competence. The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective model for teaching students – future economists English professional vocabulary (EPL) to the level of independent English proficiency (B2) and develop proposals for improving this model. Research methods. 96 2nd year students of the financial faculty of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation took part in the pedagogical experiment. The study was conducted within 5 months. The main research methods were the method of scientific literature analysis and experimental study of the learning process of students – future economists using three learning models (traditional (classroom learning), distance (electronic), blended). Methods of mathematical statistics used: Kruskal-Wallis H-test and Mann-Whitney U-test. Results. Conducted test tasks (both written and oral) by students of three experimental groups before the methodological experiment showed the absence of statistical significance between the results of performance. This indicated that in the three experimental groups, first-year students are at the same level of mastering the EPV. However, after conducting a methodical experiment, the presence of statistical significance was revealed. This indicated that after the completion of the methodological experiment, the students of the three experimental groups of the first year of study are at different levels of mastering the EVP. Based on the results of the control assignments performed by students, it was found that in all experimental groups there was an increase in all indicators, but the greatest progress was observed in the performance of written and oral tasks in the EG3 group, in which the EPV was trained according to a blended model. Conclusion. Thus, the blended learning model turned out to be the most practical approach to the educational process at the university when learning a foreign language. Calculations have shown that the use of a blended model of EPV training for students of economic specialties ultimately led to the largest increase in the performance of written and oral assignments. To improve the model of blended learning, the authors have developed some improvements, upon implementation of which, the model of blended learning will become more effective in teaching English to the level of independent proficiency (B2) of students – future economists. The prospect of further research may be to determine the most effective ratio of classroom (traditional) and distance (remote) classes in teaching English to reduce the cost of education while increasing the level of foreign language professional communicative competence among students.

“…This is because individual student factors in taking advantage of existing learning opportunities, how hard they study, and the strength of their interest in something have a greater influence on literacy levels. (Dunlosky et al, 2013;Harackiewicz et al, 2016;Kuh et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2022;Meşe & Sevilen, 2021;Rugutt & Chemosit, 2005;Tong et al, 2022). This research is novel in terms of revealing facts about the condition of Spirituality-based environmental literacy (SEL) among prospective biology teacher students in Indonesia.…”

Spirituality-based environmental literacy (SEL) influences ecological knowledge, environmental expectations, cognitive abilities, and environmental-related behavior. In this regard, this research aims to determine SEL among prospective biology teacher throughout Indonesia. This study included a cross-sectional survey. The target respondents are students of education study programs in the field of biology who come from various institutions in Indonesia. Gender aspects, study program accreditation status, and semester-level are positioned as respondent characteristics whose impact on environmental literacy is analyzed. The sample size is 632 students. The data collection instrument used was the ELIS. The data collection process is carried out online. Data was analyzed using SPSS. We discuss the results of different tests based on gender, different tests based on accreditation, and different tests based on semester-level. This research provides unique results. Women have higher levels of SEL than men. There are significant differences between men and women in terms of environmental literacy, although references do not always support this. Accreditation status does not support differences in SEL levels. Furthermore, the semester-level (final semester) has a higher SEL, but that is only in the knowledge aspect. On that basis, we suggest several aspects to consider in future research.
