Examining the Optimal Choice of SEM Statistical Software Packages for Sustainable Mathematics Education: A Systematic Review

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(4), P. 3209 - 3209

Published: Feb. 9, 2023

Intending to analyze structural relationships between measured variables and latent constructs, researchers tend adopt equation modeling (SEM) through either “covariance-based SEM” (CB-SEM) or “variance-based (VB-SEM)/“partial least squares (PLS-SEM) by using numerous statistical applications. Nevertheless, the reviews on understanding optimal choice of proprietary software packages in SEM approaches are scarce despite its immense importance sustaining education. Therefore, a systematic review would be obligated scrutinize empirical studies fill this gap. By employing Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, total 47 publications that met inclusion criteria were obtained. To extract articles from August 2018 2022, Scopus, Web Science (WoS), The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) databases adopted. findings imply six types emerged as an choice: Lisrel, Amos, Mplus, SmartPLS, R package (plspm), WarpPLS. Despite widespread usage variety applications, SmartPLS AMOS rigorously utilized VB-SEM/PLS-SEM CB-SEM, respectively. This is important practitioners discover which tools relevant use identify gaps order sustain mathematics education future.

Analysis of Factors Affecting Academic Performance of Mathematics Education Doctoral Students: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(5), P. 4518 - 4518

Published: March 3, 2023

Student academic performance is an important indicator of doctoral education quality, but limited research has focused on how multiple influential factors students' work together. This study aims to explore the significantly affecting mathematics students in Indonesia. Several were recognized from prior studies, such as fear delay, student engagement, parental support, teacher facilitating conditions, stress level, and well-being. An online questionnaire was designed answered by a total 147 students. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach adopted analyze data. results suggested that support had strongest positive effects engagement most significant factor improving well-being, while could reduce their levels. Practically, these are expected provide implications universities supervisors regarding improvement well-being promote success further quality programs education. Theoretically, can also contribute building empirical model be used explain affect other contexts.

University students use various ICT-based media a goal to help them learn. The Chinese government is also increasing the of ICT tools in education sector because they relate university students’ learning outcomes. Several universities China provide tablet computer facilities as for their students. These are widely used country have many benefits educational settings. For instance, paperless, practical, and portable support sustainable education. Although tablets benefits, not necessarily accepted by Knowing factors influencing intention tool increases effective utilization college Therefore, this study aimed determine predicted actual usage computers urban rural areas. It combined TTF model Unified Theory Acceptance Use Technology 2 (UTAUT-2). sample comprised 232 214 Data were analyzed using partial least squares statistical technique examine structural test initial hypothesis. results showed that village influenced hedonic motivation task technology fit. In contrast, habit fit most significant factor areas tools.

Autonomous learning and creative cognition: the mediating effect of gifted students’ self-efficacy

Frontiers in Psychology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15

Published: Jan. 3, 2025

In today's world, it is of great importance to raise qualified learners whose creative thinking skills and self-efficacy are developed who can make various choices take responsibility for their as well implementing them by making own decisions. this regard, the study examined role gifted students' (SE) a mediator on relationship between autonomous learning (AL) cognition (CC). A proposed conceptual model was tested using cross-sectional survey design. Based "convenience sampling," group consisted 528 secondary school students enrolled in three Science Arts Centers Ankara, Türkiye 2022-2023 academic year. two-step Structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis conducted data analysis. The findings revealed that AL positively significantly predicted CC, SE correlated with both dimensions (Independence Learning- IoL Study habits- SH) had significant direct indirect influence CC via SE, confirming (IoL distinct influences SE. improves our understanding beliefs play interaction which helps expand improve models represent these processes. order create conditions encourage AL, foster beliefs, eventually among students, educators, policymakers, parents environment not only promotes strong SH but also fosters ultimately leading more innovative self-reliant students.

Contemporary Educational Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(2), P. ep564 - ep564

Published: Jan. 28, 2025

Educators must effectively integrate technology into their teaching practices in today’s technology-driven world. This study investigated factors influencing integration among mathematics educators Gauteng secondary schools South Africa. The unified theory of acceptance and use technology, extended by adding the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framed study. Data was collected using an online questionnaire from 309 educators. Exploratory confirmatory factor analyses were used to validate verify measurement model. structural equation modelling indicated that hedonic motivation (HM), performance expectancy (PE) TPACK influenced behavioral intention (BI) technology. TPACK, facilitating conditions (FC), effort (EE), social influence (SIN), descriptive norms (SID) habit (HT) (BU) integration. second-order all constructs contributed Still, most important, with highest explained variance 64.4%, followed EE, FC, HM HT, which had variances above 50%. BI BU, PE less than 50% variance. Our findings could provide insights future interventions for effective in-service educator training.
