Using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study, the authors examined relations between educational, civic, and occupational success in young adulthood and the duration and intensity of participation in organized activities during high school. They also examined these relations as a function of sponsorship (i.e., school- vs. community-sponsored organized activities). They found that y...

DeLone & McLean's success model has been actively used since its first introduction in 1992. In this article the model is extended to describe the success of knowledge sharing in an information system that included a part of the knowledge base of a private educational institute. As the supply of private education is increased it is vital to be aware if the offered educational services support t...

In the Netherlands there is an on-going process of restructuring education. Secondary education is now being restructured into a basic level (the first two/three years) and an upper level (the last two/three years). The leading idea behind the upper level is the so-called 'study home' concept. The intention is that the learners become 'successful independent constructors' of their own study pro...

in recent decades, the concept of cultural capital has created a lot of scientific studies over the world in the sociology of education. these studies mainly based on the two models: bourdieu's cultural reproduction and dimaggio's cultural mobility. these have achieved different results. this study aimed at evaluating the theoretical models in an empirical condition. middle and high school stud...

Educational games are considered interactive activities that should be just as motivating and engaging as regular digital games, but players will learn rather than just be entertained. Despite some limited success over the past few decades, educational games have failed to reach mainstream adoption or success. This chapter claims that such a failure is the result of poor design. Designers can c...

The aim of the present experiment was to investigate whether educational level could modulate the effect of aging on episodic memory and on the electrophysiological correlates of retrieval success. Participants were divided into four groups based on age (young vs. older) and educational level (high vs. low), with 14 participants in each group. Event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded while ...

Designing educational experiences is an imaginative art. As designers, we anticipate and fabricate activities, resources, and conversations that will bring learners’ inquiry to fulfillment, enabling their growth toward desirable skills, intuitions, and understandings. As Whitehead suggests, success in this art requires highly developed tools, and the computer, in its protean flexibility, is the...

a r t i c l e i n f o Identity research argues for enhancing students' current and future positive academic self-concepts to strengthen educational success. However, multiple factors from youths' home and school ecologies, as well as structural disadvantage , influence this relationship. Using the data from the Beyond High School Study (N = 9658), this analysis examines the role of academic sel...

Randomized controlled trial evidence shows that interventions before age 5 can improve skills necessary for educational success; the effect of these interventions on socioeconomic inequalities is unknown. Using trial effect estimates, and marginal structural models with data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (n = 11,764, imputed), simulated effects of plausible interventi...

The research literature on families and educational achievement as it addresses African American populations is uniquely characterized by attention to educational failure rather than educational success (Slaughter, Nakagawa, et al., 1990). This orientation originated over 40 years ago with the "culture-as-social-class" conceptual model, which attempts to explain the behavior of lower income Afr...
