Abstract

The current study aimed to explore the factor structure and the measurement invariance of the teacher-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) across cultures (the United States and China). We used a sample of elementary school students in the U.S. (N=639) and China (N=666). Confirmatory factor analysis results identified the underlying 3-factor structure of the SDQ for each group sample (i.e., Internalizing Problems, Externalizing Problems, and Prosocial Behavior). A Multiple-group Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that SDQ showed full configural, metric, scalar, and residual invariance across the U.S. and China within the elementary school setting. The present study’s findings contributed to the literature by adding additional validity evidence of teacher-reported SDQ, supporting the feasibility of cross-cultural comparisons of elementary school children’s mental health measured by teacher-reported SDQ.

Abstract

This paper delves into the pervasive influence of social media on students' academic endeavors within higher education. Utilizing a descriptive survey methodology, the study examines the multifaceted dimensions of social media usage among students, ranging from communication to educational pursuits. Through questionnaire responses and analysis, the research investigates the time allocation students dedicate to social media platforms and its potential impact on academic performance. Findings reveal a complex interplay between social media engagement and academic outcomes, highlighting both positive and negative effects. Despite the convenience and connectivity afforded by social media, concerns emerge regarding its addictive nature and potential distractions from scholarly pursuits. The paper concludes with a comprehensive set of recommendations for institutions and students to navigate the intricate relationship between social media and academic success. These recommendations include implementing structured time management strategies, fostering digital literacy skills, providing resources for balancing online and offline activities, promoting the use of educational content on social media platforms, and fostering a culture of responsible online behavior. Additionally, collaboration between educational institutions, policymakers, and technology companies is advocated to develop guidelines and policies that support healthy social media usage and prioritize academic priorities.

Abstract

Contemporary high school education presents various learning modalities, encompassing traditional in-class learning, distance learning incorporating online platforms, and e-learning. Amid the prevalent challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Hybrid Competency-Based Learning (HCBL) has emerged as a popular and effective educational approach. HCBL involves a combination of online e-learning (Ananga & Biney, 2017) and in-class instruction, augmented by hands-on activities in the medical field. This research aims to demonstrate the efficacy of HCBL in fostering successful learning outcomes and mitigating stress levels among students pursuing higher education in the medical domain. The findings reveal that HCBL not only enhances learning efficiency but also contributes significantly to stress reduction, particularly in the transition to university-level studies.
