Survey Of College Students Research Articles

Research Competence of College Students as a Subject of Pedagogical Analysis

The urgency of the problem of the formation of research competence is increasing in the new socio-economic conditions, the formation of market relations and the digital society, in which a critical look at the problem, the ability to reflectively assess events and phenomena, the formation of research skills, the ability to adapt to changing situations, uncertainty, unpredictability. In this regard, this article is devoted to the issues of pedagogical aspects of the development of the education system and its influence on the formation of design, survey and research abilities of college students. The development of scientific and research abilities of college students to a certain extent depends on the existing education system. As you know, a person, in addition to satisfying his vital needs, needs to satisfy spiritual needs that are directly related to his desire for knowledge, education. research activities in the thinking of college students. At all levels of education of children and young people, there is no proper training in the methods of forming research activity in the thinking of college students, developing skills in its observance and reducing motivation for adequate behavior. No less important is the problem of the formation of research activity in the thinking of young students. At present, there is a need to resolve the contradictions that have arisen between the conditions of social life and the conditions existing in modern educational institutions in which the education of students is realized. The formation of a culture of formation of research activity in the thinking of college students today is a priority state task.

Decision comfort and student engagement in higher education

ABSTRACT In today’s dynamic service environment, the higher education sector has maintained steady growth. The incorporation of technology in the process of teaching engages the students in the classroom, however, the students tend to indicate lower levels of engagement. Although engagement in the classroom is pivotal for student success, a robust understanding of the means to enhance student engagement is quite scarce. Thus, this study examines a robust research framework to have a better understanding of student engagement. Derived from the survey of university students, the proposed research hypotheses were tested. Results show that co-production behaviour and decision comfort are prominent drivers of student engagement. Results also show that decision comfort mediates the path between students’ goal intention and student engagement. Finally, we discuss the managerial and theoretical implications.

Moving to ‘Bei–Shang–Guang’? Internal migration, local hukou barriers and labour market outcomes among college graduates in China

AbstractBeijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, as the major metropolitan areas in China, offer good opportunities for economic and social mobility for in‐migrants. As such, these four locations have become the primary employment destinations for recent college graduates. Meanwhile, these cities have the most stringent hukou policies nationwide, which play a key role in the urban labour market segmentation between local residents and in‐migrants. Using three waves of data from a nationally representative survey, the China College Student Survey (2010, 2013, and 2015), this paper, for the first time, examined whether Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have emerged as an ‘upward social class escalator region’ for young adults in China. After accounting for observed demographic and human capital characteristics and migrant selectivity, migrating into Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has been found to be positively associated with earnings attainment, and the economic benefit from relocation is greater than that experienced by migrants elsewhere in the system. However, in‐migrants to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have fewer opportunities to enter government organisations and public enterprises. These results cast doubt on the potential for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen to act as escalators for individuals wishing to achieve all‐around upwards social mobility in China's urban labour market. The local hukou barrier may still be a salient factor in shaping migrants' labour market outcomes in China. This study contributes to existing knowledge on escalator theory by providing empirical evidence from an emerging market country, China. More importantly, it shed light on the role of location (such as large urban centres) in the complicated relationship between social mobility and migration.

Empirical Analysis of the Dissemination Effect of Higher Vocational ideological and political discourse in the All-media Era —— Based on the Functional Grammar Theory

The ideational function, interpersonal function and textual function involved in the functional grammar theory are the basis for the empirical analysis of the dissemination effect of ideological and political discourse in this paper. Through the questionnaire survey of college students’ evaluation of teaching discourse dissemination of ideological and political teachers in higher vocational colleges, it is concluded that in the All-media Era, the interpretation of discourse should be enhanced from the ideational function, the value identification of discourse should be enhanced from the interpersonal function, and the social context of discourse should be constructed from the textual function. It is of great significance to form the ideological and political discourse dissemination system based on the characteristics of vocational education in China, and promote the innovation and improvement of the discourse system with Chinese characteristics.

The Effect of New Media News Push on College Students' Anxiety

With the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world, new media platforms have played an important role in news feeds related to the epidemic with their quick and concise features. Such major public health emergencies not only cause great losses to the national economy, but also affect the public psychology. Based on the theory of expanded parallel process model (EPPM), through the questionnaire survey method to collect the relevant data, and the use of SPSS software for data statistics and analysis, build new crown epidemic situations of new media news push on college students' emotional impact model, and using correlation and regression analysis, explore the new media influence on college students' anxiety of epidemic information push. The results show that during the epidemic period, the surveyed college students have a strong initiative to contact and spread the epidemic information through social media, accounting for a large proportion of them. Browsing the epidemic information has become their daily routine. During the epidemic period, epidemic-related information showed the characteristics of all-platform dissemination, and college students generally expressed trust in epidemic-related information spread on social media. In terms of the mental health level of college students during the epidemic period, those who showed anxiety, depression and stress have a large proportion in the surveyed college students.

Attitudes to fake news verification: Youth orientations to ‘right click’ authenticate

This article examines the phenomenon of fake news through a survey of university students in the United Kingdom. The survey, composed through a selection of factual and non-factual content/news and complemented through a validation tool, sought to assess the attitudes of these respondents to items of factual misinformation before and after these were verified with the tool. The findings from the survey present online misinformation as a very complex and unfolding phenomenon in terms of user behaviour, particularly when presented with an authentication tool. The majority of respondents failed in identifying factual from fake news posts. While respondents indicated mistrust in using third-party validation tools, the majority indicated a critical need for a verification tool that would support their quest and increase their trust in what they read online.

Health Literacy among Japanese College Students: Association with Healthy Lifestyle and Subjective Health Status.

The improvement of health literacy (HL) is a critical issue for college students who are in the transitional period to adulthood and are establishing their subsequent lifestyles. The present study aimed to evaluate the current state of HL among college students and to explore the factors that influence HL. Moreover, it investigated the relationship between HL and health conditions. For this study, the researchers conducted an online survey of college students. The questionnaire consisted of the Japanese version of the 47-item European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q47), which is a self-assessment tool for HL that covers the major health issues of college students and health-related quality of life. The study analyzed 1049 valid responses. Based on the HLS-EU-Q47 total score, 85% of the participants exhibited problematic or unsatisfactory HL levels. Participants who reported high levels of healthy lifestyles obtained high HL scores. High levels of HL were associated with high levels of subjective health. Results from quantitative text analysis suggested that specific mindsets were correlated with high levels of competency in appraising health information among male students. In the future, educational intervention programs for college students need to be established to improve HL levels.

Perceptions about the causes and treatment of cancer – A cross-sectional survey of university students in Ghana

Cancer awareness campaigns in Ghana and many parts of the world have gathered pace in recent years. Despite this encouraging trend, there has been no significant reduction in stigma in Ghana. This study investigated the role of beliefs about the causes of cancer in stigmatization and perceptions about treatment. Using standardized scales deployed in a survey, the study measured student perceptions about the causes of cancer, stigmatization, and opinion about the possibility of treating cancer. 225 students were sampled from two universities in the Ghanaian capital of Accra. The study used multiple linear regression and a logistic regression to answer two research questions. These asked whether beliefs in the mythical causes of cancer are associated with stigma towards cancer and whether this stigma is associated with the belief that cancer cannot be treated. The findings point to the association between perceived causes of cancer and stigma. Stigmatization was associated with the belief that cancer could not be treated. The findings imply that the perceived causes of cancer are associated with stigma and should thus be addressed by campaigners. Educating the public about the causes of cancer and addressing some of the myths can help reduce stigma and correct misperceptions about treatment.

Cheating: It depends how you define it

Cheating in academia is defined multidimensionally and might include dishonesty, fraud, stealing, and unauthorized use. This behaviour appears to be on the rise in higher education, though it may be somewhat subjective. Beyond the ethical issue of cheating, inadequately learned skills and unqualified practitioners put lives at risk (e.g., medicine, engineering), as well as the institution’s reputation and integrity in producing proficient graduates. We asked Canadian students and faculty from a two-year college to define academic cheating in their own words and rate a number of behaviours to indicate their perception of whether the behaviour should be considered cheating or not. Overall, there was a great overlap between the themes evoked in students’ and faculty’s definitions of cheating. Differences between students’ and faculty’s ages might suggest a different degree of moral reasoning which may have impacted the responses. This study further contributes to knowledge about cheating because we surveyed college students (rather than university students), which are greatly under-represented in the literature.

Texting or face-to-face for support-seeking in romantic relationships: The role of affordances and attachment

Support-seeking, a critical and strategic function of close relationships, is increasingly practiced via texting. Guided by attachment theory and an affordance-centric approach, this study investigated to what extent individuals in a romantic relationship would use texting and face-to-face for support-seeking, and what stimulates their interest in mediated support-seeking. A survey of college students in exclusive romantic relationships ( N = 211) found that several affordances (i.e., accessibility, the availability of social cues, and conversation control) were associated with varying levels of interest in texting or face-to-face for support-seeking. Both accessibility and the availability of social cues were perceived as less important by avoidant individuals, which was related to a lack of interest in texting and face-to-face interactions for support-seeking. Anxious individuals valued the availability of social cues more, which led to a greater interest in face-to-face interactions when seeking assistance. These findings contribute to a better understanding of support-seeking behavior in today’s mediated world.

A Survey of College Students' Reading Situation Based on Reader Behavior Data—Taking the Library of Inner Mongolia University for Nationalities as an Example

Associations between substance misuse, social factors, depression, and anxiety among college students

Research on substance misuse and mental health is becoming increasingly important. Many individuals struggle with their mental health and turn to substances to cope. It is important for those who are struggling with their mental health to not turn to substances, as substance use could exacerbate their mental health concerns. Recent studies suggest that individuals in long-term relationships may have a lower chance of misusing substances. Therefore, our research question examines how an individual’s relationship status correlates with mental health concerns, such as depression, anxiety, and fear of missing out (FoMO). This was tested using a survey sample of college students. We hypothesized that individuals with higher substance use (alcohol and drug use) will have increased levels of stress, anxiety, FoMO, and depression. We also hypothesized that those engaged in long-term relationships will have decreased levels of FoMO and substance use. By surveying college students with questions related to our hypotheses, we found that those with higher substance misuse had higher levels of anxiety, depression, and FoMO, and that those involved in longer-term relationships had lower levels of FoMO and alcohol use. These findings have identified important risk factors that may serve as targets for on campus prevention and intervention efforts for college student well-being.

Understanding the role of digital information in enhancing education in UAE: An investigation of the factors that drive continuous adoption

Digital information has had a significant impact on higher education, transforming the way students learn and interact with course materials, professors, and their peers. Education systems that place a high priority on learning satisfaction and tutor quality frequently ignore the problem of limited access to digital information and technology. In this study, we provide an integrated model that examines how the TAM constructs of digital information in education (DIE) are affected by digital information flow, technological readiness, learning satisfaction, and tutor quality. We provide information on the results of a project evaluation that examined how digital information is used in higher education. We gathered information from a survey of 594 college students to validate our model and hypothesis. Our research suggests that external factors that improve users' technological readiness and learning satisfaction may have an impact on how valuable they perceive DIE to be. A user's traits, particularly their level of technological preparedness, have a significant impact on how simple technology is to use. The user's perceived usefulness of the technology may also be further enhanced in some cultures by the tutor’s perceived excellence. External elements like the flow of information may have a significant impact on the intention to use technology.

Effects of attentional control, mindfulness, and distraction skills on college students’ depressive tendencies

This study examined the effects of distraction on college students’ depressive tendencies caused by interpersonal stress, focusing on attentional control, mindfulness, and distraction skills. We conducted a web-based survey of college students (N=267; mean age=19.66 years, SD=1.40) that administered scales assessing attention control, mindfulness, distraction skill, and depressive tendencies. An analysis of covariance was conducted to examine a model in which attentional control alleviates depressive tendencies by increasing mindfulness, which influences distraction skills. Multiple regression analyses of attentional control and mindfulness effects on distractor skills revealed that “Non-reactivity” in mindfulness affects distraction skills. In contrast, “observing” promoted reliance on distraction, suggesting that increased mindfulness and attentional control are essential to prevent dependence on distraction. Future studies need to implement mindfulness meditation interventions to increase attentional control and mindfulness and elaborate changes in each variable and the relationships among the variables.

Mechanisms Influencing Learning Gains Under Information Security: Structural Equation Modeling with Mediating Effect

With the expanding enrollments in higher education, the quality of college education and the learning gains of students have attracted much attention. It is important to study the influencing factors and mechanisms of individual students’ acquisition of learning gains to improve the quality of talent cultivation in colleges. However, in the context of information security, the original data of learning situation surveys in various universities involve the security of educational evaluation data and daily privacy of teachers and students. To protect the original data, data feature mining and correlation analyses were performed at the model level. This study selected 12,181 pieces of data from X University, which participated in the Chinese College Student Survey (CCSS) from 2018 to 2021. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and a structural equation modeling was conducted using AMOS 24.0. Through hypothesis testing, this study explored the mechanisms that influence learning gains from the perspectives of student involvement, teacher involvement, and school support. The results indicated that the quality of student involvement has an important mediating effect on learning gains and that a supportive campus environment has the greatest influence on learning gains. Establishing positive emotional communications between teachers and students is a more direct and effective method than improving the teaching level to improve the quality of student involvement. This study discusses the implications of these results on the research and practice of connotative development in higher education.

A study on the association between anxiety level and family parenting styles of university students in the eastern coastal region of China

In today’s society, psychological problems are frequent among university students, especially anxiety. Family of origin is inextricably linked to a person’s mental health. Parents often have different parenting styles in the process of educating their children, and different parenting styles have different impacts on children’s psychological development. This research explores the correlation between college students’ anxiety and their family parenting styles by taking college students in the eastern coastal region as an example. This paper investigates how to prevent and alleviate college students’ anxiety by improving family parenting styles. The Chinese version of the Short-form Parenting Style Scale (S-EMBU-C) and the Sel Assessment Scale for Anxiety (SAS) were used to survey university students in Jiangsu.Family parenting style and anxiety level of university students in Jiangsu were analysed by the statistical software SPSS. The following conclusions were obtained in this study: The anxiety level of male students is higher than that of female students. Boys’ families are more likely to develop a parental rejection type of family parenting, and girls’ families are more likely to develop a parental emotional warmth type of family upbringing. The College student anxiety was positively correlated with the following factors: the rejection factor and the overprotection factor on the father and mother scales. The effect of paternal and maternal rejection on college students is actually the most important of all parenting styles. In the case of only children and non-only children, parental rejection is more likely to develop in families with only children.

Exploring shared travel behavior of university students

ABSTRACT This study aims to identify young adults’ travel behavior using ridesharing services. We analyze data from an online survey of university students, regarding three free ridesharing services, including fixed-route, on-demand, and shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs). Ordinal regression and structural equation model (SEM) are employed to explore the frequency of service usage. Results indicate that most students had never taken a ride by available ridesharing services due to their preferences for using private vehicles and lack of service information. Regression results reveal that individuals’ usual mode of transportation and residential location significantly influence ridesharing behavior. Our results also show significant associations between travel attitudes and students’ travel behavior. We also found that shared on-demand and autonomous vehicle services could complement fixed-route services. Further research is needed on the link between young people's adoption of integrated ridesharing transportation services.
