“…Literature also showed that attendance impacted on academic performance (Romer, 1993;Chen & Lin, 2008;Schmulian & Coetzee, 2011). These findings are very much in line with the literature, in which IQ had the largest contribution (Rosander & Bäckström, 2012;Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2008;Rosander, Bäckström, & Stenberg, 2011;Deary et al, 2007).…”

Undergraduate student dropout is gradually becoming a global problem and the 39 Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) are no exception to this trend. The purpose of this research was to develop a method that can be used for early detection of students who are at-risk of performing poorly in their undergraduate studies. A sample of 279 students participated in the study conducted in a Mauritian private tertiary academic institution. Results of regression analyses identified the variables having a significant influence on academic performance. These variables were used in a linear discriminant analysis where 74 percent of the students could be correctly classified into three categories: at-risk, pass or fail. In conclusion, this study has proposed a new technique that can be used by institutions to determine significant academic performance predictors and then identify at-risk students upon whom interventions can be implemented prior to exams to address the problem of dropouts.

“…In addition, there was a significant correlation between orthopedic nursing grade point and the deep learning approach after the flipped classroom method was implemented. In the study by Rosander and Bäckström, there was also a weak positive correlation between deep learning and the mean academic scores of students (34). In a prospective study among nursing students, Salamonson et al found that deep learning predicts students' scores in the university, and such students use adaptive skills as self-regulation strategies in learning (35).…”

Background: Active learning approaches, including the flipped classroom, can enhance meaningful learning among students of medical sciences. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the flipped classroom teaching method on nursing students' learning approaches. Methods: This one-group quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design was carried out among 46 undergraduate nursing students who had passed the orthopedic nursing course in the academic year of 2017-2018. The participants were selected by the census method. To teach through the flipped classroom method, the instructor provided electronic content for the course using the Articulate Storyline software. Students studied electronic contents and the reference book prior to each session and participated in predetermined collaborative activities. Data were collected using the Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) before and after the completion of the classes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t test, paired t test and Pearson correlation coefficient by SPSS software. Results: The flipped classroom method significantly increased the deep learning approach (P <0.001) and its subscales including deep motive (P <0.001) and deep strategy (P = 0.001). Also, there was a significant negative correlation between deep learning and superficial learning before (r = -0.29, P = 0.047) and after (r = -0.34, P = 0.015) the implementation of the flipped classroom method. Conclusions: By implementing the flipped classroom method, deep learning among nursing students is strengthened. Also, by assessing learners' study approaches, it is possible to identify the various educational methods that affect deep learning.

“…High expectations, however, are not always positive. Research as well as official Swedish national statistics have found that girls show more stress and anxiety than boys when it comes to school performance in general (Statistics Sweden, ; Rosander, ). Swedish statistics show that approximately 50% of boys and 75% of girls aged 16–18 years feel stress about school work (Statistics Sweden, ).…”

The aim of this study was to explore how time frames affect pupils and teachers in cooking activities during lessons of different durations for Home and Consumer Studies, with a specific focus on the pupils' experiences. To investigate this, classroom observations were carried out in 2011 and 2012, with the help of audio and video recordings in three different schools in Sweden and included altogether 22 pupils (18 girls, 4 boys) in grade 9 (15-16 years). Each class was observed during two separate lessons, lasting between 1 h 50 min (110 minutes) and 2 h 20 min (140 min). The six lessons resulted in 12 h of video recorded time and 80 h of sound recordings. The study showed that the importance of finishing on time seemed to be ingrained in most pupils in all classes and the end result was perceived as more important than the process of cooking. The study also showed that knowledge of cooking skills and time management seemed important for success in grade-related tasks. Pupils demonstrated different ways of handling the time frames, e.g. using various methods to speed up the cooking process. This study raises important questions about the relationship between national and local time frames and the curriculum aims in Home and Consumer Studies.
