Meaning in life and smartphone addiction among Chinese female college students: The mediating role of school adjustment and the moderating role of grade.

The fact that female college students are more addicted to smartphones than male college students has raised public concerns. However, previous studies have rarely explored the mechanism of female college students' smartphone addiction. Previous studies have shown that identity may affect the formation process of female college students' smartphone addiction, and the identity of female college students in different grades may be different. Nonetheless, few studies have explored the grade differences in the formation process of female college students' smartphone addiction. The present study examined the relationship between meaning in life, school adjustment, and smartphone addiction among Chinese female college students using a moderated mediation model in which school adjustment played a mediating role and grade played a moderating role. A total of 1,076 Chinese female college students (Age: 19.83 ± 1.11; 369 freshmen, 379 sophomores, and 328 juniors) completed an online questionnaire regarding meaning in life, school adjustment, and smartphone addiction. (1) School adjustment mediated the relationship between meaning in life and smartphone addiction. (2) School adjustment had a partial mediating effect between meaning in life and smartphone addiction for female freshmen and sophomores, but it did not exist among female juniors. (3) The influence of school adjustment on female sophomores' smartphone addiction was significantly stronger than that of female freshmen. The findings of this study advance our understanding of the potential impacts of meaning in life on smartphone addiction and provide a grade perspective for targeted prevention or intervention with female college students' smartphone addiction.

Gaps in College Student Reader Identity: Issues of Reading Self-determination and Reading Self-efficacy

ABSTRACT How a student perceives or identifies themselves as a reader is their reader identity. There is a dearth of research on college student reader identity. Using assignment artifacts as data, we conducted a narrative inquiry analysis seeking evidence of the students’ reading self-efficacy, reading self-determination, reading self-regulation, reading success, and reading competency as indicators of reader identity. We found the students expressed lower levels of reading self-efficacy, struggled with reading self-regulation, and lacked reading self-determination. We also found lower reading success levels and few reading competency indicators. Interpreting the results, we concluded that the students tended not to hold a reader identity and, therefore, typically do not embrace reading as part of their intrinsic desire to learn.

Professional identity and learning burnout in college students majoring in art education: Professional commitment as a mediator

In China the goal of art education for college students is to train them to become teachers of various art categories, including design, dance, painting, and music. We investigated the effect of professional identity on learning burnout among 505 college students majoring in art education, and assessed the mediating role of professional commitment in this relationship. The results indicate that there was a significant negative correlation between professional identity and learning burnout. Furthermore, professional commitment mediated the relationship between professional identity and learning burnout. Our findings contribute to understanding of the relationships among professional identity, professional commitment, and learning burnout in college students studying art education in the context of Chinese higher education. The findings also provide educators with practical implications to avoid learning burnout among students. Future directions for research are suggested.

Impact of a Cohort Model on the American Veteran Transition to College

Veteran student populations are on the rise across the U.S. due to benefits from the revised Post 9/11 Government Issue (G.I.) Bill that guarantees financial assistance for housing and education for exiting service members. Institutions seeking integration practices for this student population may fail to acknowledge the multiple identities that veterans bring to the campus community and, thus, do not provide proper social support for this unique student population. The purpose of this case study was to examine how one veteran student cohort program provides support for veterans transitioning to their new student identity, and with retention and degree completion at one large California State University. This instrumental case study was conducted utilizing one-on-one in-depth interviews and archived document review to examine how effective the Veteran Education Program assists veteran students at Fresno State. The findings of this research show how students that partake in a veteran cohort program transition better into the broader campus community. As veterans begin transition into a new college student identity, pre-existing identities compete in the reprioritizing process.

“Does It Identify Me?”: The Multiple Identities of College Students from Rural Areas

The understanding of identities is an important component to understanding students and their experiences in educational contexts, especially in postsecondary education. There is limited information about the identities of college students from rural areas because this student population is often neglected as a distinct group in higher education literature. This article details a study utilizing narrative inquiry to explore the identities of three college students who graduated from high schools in rural areas. The findings suggest that these students’ races and ethnicities, genders and biological sexes, and sexual orientations were their salient social identities. Rurality was not a prominent identity, but their perceptions and experiences were shaped by their rural backgrounds. Rural students’ places of origin and their multiple identities, therefore, should not be ignored within P-20 education.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ГЕНДЕРНОГО ФАКТОРА НА ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫЕ СТРАТЕГИИ МОЛОДЕЖИ (НА ПРИМЕРЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ СТУДЕНТОВ ВУЗОВ Г. УФЫ)

The article examines the attitudes towards education and professional career development of young people through the prism of the gender factor. The relevance of the study is due to the ongoing transformation of the economic system, the unpleasant consequence of which is the discrepancy between supply and demand in the labor market and the resulting employment problems. Also, researchers are increasingly highlighting the problems of female employment associated with various socio-economic factors (lower wages, informal employment, inaccessibility of certain professions, difficulties in combining motherhood and employment, single-parent families, etc.), as a result of which women are more often included in the working group. poverty. Today, with all the changes taking place in social systems, one of the most significant social lifts is the institution of higher education. So, material wealth often depends on the education received and subsequent professional implementation. The research interest lies in the analysis of the attitudes of modern youth in relation to the institution of education and professional career as an opportunity to improve the quality of life. Do these attitudes differ among young girls and boys, how do they assess their capabilities? The data of a sociological study conducted by the author in 2020 on the topic of professional identity of university students in Ufa are presented. The results of which showed that modern young people are not inclined to link the level of education received and the amount of income. The concept of success in life is somewhat different for men and women, if, first of all, girls want to have a favorite job and family, then for men the desire to be free and independent turned out to be paramount. Also, male respondents more often count on career advancement and professional growth. The research data to some extent reflect the gender attitudes of the generation of parents among today's Russian youth. In order to overcome the manifestations of gender statistical discrimination in the labor sphere, increase the economic resilience of women and reduce the risk of falling into the poverty zone, it is necessary to develop and implement social programs oriented towards this.

Concurrent Enrollment in the Student Voice

ABSTRACT Objective: Concurrent enrollment programming is on the rise in the United States. Offering authentic college coursework to high school students has been shown to increase college enrollment, persistence, and graduation, as well as cut down on cost and time to degree. This study provides perspectives on concurrent enrollment directly from students. A conceptual framework using college student identity centrality is introduced. Method: Utilizing semi-structured interviews to form an instrumental, collective case study, undergraduate college students with a prior concurrent enrollment history provided their perspective on embarking on college while in high school. Results: From the data, it was concluded that concurrent enrollment serves as a “taste of college” (Lily); concurrent enrollment helps students to shape their future plans, often allowing them to pursue additional educational opportunities due to early-earned credit; and early exposure to college showed promise at helping students adopt an earlier college student identity. Contributions: This study addresses a gap in the literature in understanding concurrent enrollment from the student perspective. The study supports findings in recent research that suggest early exposure to and practice of college increases college readiness as well as self-efficacy. In addition, this study suggests the need for further research in understanding concurrent enrollment student perspectives from a diverse sample, as well as adopting a conceptual lens to study concurrent enrollment as a mechanism by which students can develop a college student identity.
