Assessments of Creative Thinking often treat divergent and convergent thinking as separate processes, failing to capture their interaction within iterative problem-solving. The current study introduces an interactive task, ‘Structures’, designed to measure these cognitive processes in tandem. Participants (N = 122) were tasked with designing polygons under constraints and received real-time feedback to refine their solutions. Measures of divergent and convergent thinking were automatically extracted from the variability of feature combinations in the attempted solutions and the consistency in the progress of these attempts. A model that combines both independent measures was best in explaining overall performance. Results also show a negative correlation between divergent and convergent thinking, suggesting a trade-off. Post-hoc analysis suggests a third competency, resource allocation, that oversees the interplay between these. This work highlights the complementary yet competing processes within iterative Creative Thinking and underscores the potential of digital environments to capture higher-order cognitive skills.

Educational relevance statement

This study provides insights into the iterative process of Creative Thinking, a competence increasingly recognized as essential in the 21st century. Our findings emphasize the importance of fostering both divergent and convergent thinking to enhance Creative Thinking, and their balance. We exemplify tracing these sub-skills as participants tackle a difficult challenge and provide a freely available online tool for examination at https://technion.link/miri/polygon/?timer=20&display_timer=on.
创造性思维的评估通常将发散性思维和聚合性思维视为独立的过程,未能捕捉到它们在迭代解决问题中的相互作用。目前的研究引入了一个互动任务,“结构”,旨在测量这些认知过程的串联。参与者(N = 122)的任务是在约束条件下设计多边形,并收到实时反馈以改进他们的解决方案。从尝试的解决方案中特征组合的可变性和这些尝试过程中的一致性中自动提取发散和收敛思维的度量。结合两种独立指标的模型最能解释整体表现。研究结果还显示,发散性思维和收敛性思维之间存在负相关,表明两者之间存在权衡关系。事后分析表明,第三种能力,即资源分配,可以监督这些能力之间的相互作用。这项工作强调了迭代创造性思维中互补但相互竞争的过程,并强调了数字环境捕获高阶认知技能的潜力。这项研究为创造性思维的迭代过程提供了见解,创造性思维在21世纪越来越被认为是必不可少的能力。我们的研究结果强调了培养发散性思维和收敛性思维对增强创造性思维及其平衡的重要性。我们举例说明,当参与者解决一个困难的挑战时,我们会追踪这些子技能,并在https://technion.link/miri/polygon/?timer=20&display_timer=on上提供一个免费的在线考试工具。

As commentary on the “road ahead” for scholarship on motivation at school, this essay focuses on the need for theorizing and research that recognizes the rich and nuanced characteristics of the social contexts that influence a student's motivation to learn. Recognizing that social contexts are integral to understanding student motivation to learn, I first describe a competence-in-context perspective that illustrates how contexts and competencies provide a foundation for motivation. The contribution of social goal pursuit to motivated action, and the social nature of instructional contexts and belief systems that facilitate goal pursuit are discussed. Socialization experiences that define and influence the development of these motivational belief systems are also proposed. Suggestions for future theorizing and research that recognize the contributions of students' social motivation and the social contexts of schooling to our understanding of students' motivation to learn are offered.

Educational relevance

This article discusses the importance of including the role of social contexts in future theorizing and research on students' motivation to learn. Social contexts are defined with respect to interpersonal relationships, school climates, and developmental and cultural experiences. Contextual influences on social goal setting and beliefs concerning social supports and affordances are described as critical components of motivation to learn.

Understanding how influence is structured within educational psychology is critical for advancing research quality, equity, and impact. We introduce a replicable, field-sensitive framework that combines (a) the Educational Psychology H-index (EP-H), which isolates within-field impact, and (b) a cross-citation network mapping journals and subfields. Using 27,482 articles from 60 Web of Science educational-psychology journals (2015–2024), we rank researchers, institutions, countries, and journals, examine convergent validity with established metrics, and identify thematic clusters centered on motivation, learning strategies, emotions, and cognition. Results reveal concentrated influence alongside meaningful international contributions. Leading journals include Journal of Educational Psychology and Educational Psychology Review, with Learning and Individual Differences showing strong connectivity across cognitive, emotional, and motivational subfields. The approach clarifies how citation volume and structural position jointly influence visibility, provides transparent tools for editors and institutions, and can be adapted to other disciplines where disciplinary context is relevant.

Educational relevance and implications

This study provides editors, institutions, and researchers with a clear understanding of who and what influences educational psychology. Using a field-specific Educational Psychology H-index (EP-H) and a cross-citation network, we identify journals that connect subfields and scholars who are most visible within the discipline. These tools help early-career scholars select venues and assist departments in evaluating contributions in core areas of educational psychology. The approach is transparent, replicable, and adaptable to related areas of education research.
了解影响在教育心理学中是如何构成的,对于提高研究质量、公平性和影响至关重要。我们引入了一个可复制的、领域敏感的框架,该框架结合了(a)教育心理学h指数(EP-H),该指数隔离了领域内的影响,以及(b)交叉引用网络映射期刊和子领域。使用来自60个Web of Science教育心理学期刊(2015-2024)的27,482篇文章,我们对研究人员、机构、国家和期刊进行了排名,用既定的指标检查了收敛效度,并确定了以动机、学习策略、情感和认知为中心的主题集群。结果显示,除了有意义的国际贡献外,还具有集中的影响力。包括《教育心理学杂志》和《教育心理学评论》在内的主要期刊,《学习与个体差异》显示了认知、情感和动机子领域之间的紧密联系。该方法阐明了引文量和结构位置如何共同影响可见性,为编辑和机构提供了透明的工具,并且可以适用于与学科背景相关的其他学科。教育的相关性和意义本研究为编辑、机构和研究人员提供了一个清晰的认识,谁和什么影响教育心理学。使用特定领域的教育心理学h指数(EP-H)和交叉引用网络,我们确定了连接子领域和在该学科中最引人注目的学者的期刊。这些工具帮助早期职业学者选择场所,并协助院系评估教育心理学核心领域的贡献。这种方法是透明的、可复制的,并且适用于教育研究的相关领域。

How is spatial reasoning associated with mathematical ability? Evidence based on a meta-analysis 空间推理与数学能力有何关联?基于元分析的证据
IF 9 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-20 DOI: 10.1016/j.lindif.2025.102838

Despite extensive research exploring the relationship between various spatial reasoning and mathematical abilities, there is rare evidence of their integrated effects and relational specificity. Using the meta-analysis method, this study estimated the spatial reasoning-mathematics correlation and analysed the potential moderating effects of spatial reasoning factors (i.e., spatial visualisation, mental rotation, and spatial orientation), mathematical domains (i.e., numerical, arithmetic, geometric, logical reasoning, and comprehensive math), and age (i.e., preschoolers, children, adolescents, and adults). After integrating 62 studies with 239 effect sizes, a moderate correlation (r = 0.31, 95 % CI [0.29, 0.33]) was identified between spatial reasoning and mathematics; spatial visualisation and spatial orientation showed stronger associations with mathematical ability than mental rotation; comprehensive math, geometry and logical reasoning exhibited superior correlations with spatial reasoning than arithmetic. In addition, no relational differences were detected among preschoolers, children, adolescents, and adults. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Educational relevance statement

The present study identified a moderate correlation (r = 0.31, 95 % CI [0.29, 0.33]) between spatial reasoning and mathematical ability and supported its underlying specificity. The spatial reasoning-mathematics relationship shifts depending on the demands of particular spatial reasoning and mathematical tasks; however, the age effect needs further scrutiny. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge the multi-dimensional nature of spatial reasoning and mathematics as we delve deeper into their relationship. Especially under the general conceptualisation of mental imagery, spatial transformation and visualisation processing, a fine-grained differentiation across spatial reasoning factors should be adopted. This result justifies and highlights the uniqueness of each spatial reasoning factor and the necessity of its discrimination for spatial training, instruction, or intervention for mathematical improvement purposes.
尽管广泛的研究探索了各种空间推理和数学能力之间的关系,但很少有证据表明它们的综合效应和关系特异性。本研究运用元分析方法,评估了空间推理与数学的相关性,并分析了空间推理因素(如空间可视化、心理旋转和空间取向)、数学领域(如数值、算术、几何、逻辑推理和综合数学)和年龄(如学龄前儿童、儿童、青少年和成人)的潜在调节作用。在整合了62项研究和239个效应量后,发现空间推理与数学之间存在中等相关性(r = 0.31, 95% CI [0.29, 0.33]);空间可视化和空间定向与数学能力的关联强于心理旋转;综合数学、几何和逻辑推理与空间推理的相关性高于算术。此外,在学龄前儿童、儿童、青少年和成人之间没有发现相关差异。讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。教育相关性陈述本研究发现空间推理和数学能力之间存在中等相关性(r = 0.31, 95% CI[0.29, 0.33]),并支持其潜在的特殊性。空间推理与数学关系的变化取决于特定的空间推理和数学任务的要求;然而,年龄效应需要进一步研究。因此,当我们深入研究空间推理和数学的关系时,认识到它们的多维性是很重要的。特别是在一般的心理意象概念化、空间转换和可视化处理下,应采用细粒度的空间推理因素区分。这一结果证明并强调了每个空间推理因素的独特性,以及为提高数学水平而进行空间训练、指导或干预的必要性。

Self-regulation of motivation in university students – a longitudinal study of interindividual differences and intraindividual trajectories 大学生动机的自我调节——个体间差异和个体内部轨迹的纵向研究
IF 9 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-04 DOI: 10.1016/j.lindif.2025.102817

Research on the self-regulation of motivation within the SRL framework has recently undergone significant advancements, underlining both the relevance and complexity of motivational regulation processes. However, prior studies seldom accounted for distinct motivational regulation constructs, their predictors, or developmental patterns over time. This longitudinal study, covering several semesters of university education, focused on the intraindividual trajectories and relevant predictors of interindividual differences in students' (Nt1 = 922) self-efficacy for motivational regulation and frequency of use of motivational regulation strategies (overall and specific strategies). Results of latent growth curve modeling revealed unique developmental patterns in these constructs and unique associations of their initial levels and trajectories with cognitive and achievement-related, personality-related, and socio-demographic variables. Overall, conscientiousness was the most robust and powerful predictor of motivational regulation processes. Furthermore, lower-achieving students, more neurotic students, males, and first-generation students may especially benefit from individualized support programs to improve their motivational regulation skills.

Educational relevance statement

This longitudinal research provides novel insights into the complexity of motivational regulation processes in university students. Our findings indicate that self-efficacy for motivational regulation and frequency of use of different motivational regulation strategies unfold uniquely over time. Furthermore, their initial levels and developmental patterns are affected to a different extent by student background characteristics such as cognitive ability, prior academic achievement, personality factors, gender, and university generational status. These results underline the importance of empirically considering distinct motivational regulation components and may help provide more optimal support for specific groups of students.
在SRL框架下对动机自我调节的研究近年来取得了重大进展,强调了动机调节过程的相关性和复杂性。然而,先前的研究很少考虑到不同的动机调节结构,它们的预测因素,或随着时间的推移发展模式。本纵向研究涵盖了大学教育的几个学期,重点研究了学生(Nt1 = 922)动机调节自我效能感和动机调节策略(整体策略和特定策略)使用频率的个体间差异的轨迹和相关预测因素。潜在增长曲线模型的结果揭示了这些构式中独特的发展模式,以及它们的初始水平和轨迹与认知和成就相关、个性相关和社会人口变量之间的独特关联。总的来说,严谨性是动机调节过程最有力的预测因子。此外,成绩较差的学生、更神经质的学生、男性和第一代学生可能特别受益于个性化的支持计划,以提高他们的动机调节技能。教育相关性陈述本纵向研究对大学生动机调节过程的复杂性提供了新颖的见解。我们的研究结果表明,动机调节的自我效能感和不同动机调节策略的使用频率随着时间的推移而呈现出独特的变化。此外,学生的认知能力、学业成绩、人格因素、性别、大学代际状况等背景特征对其初始水平和发展模式有不同程度的影响。这些结果强调了实证考虑不同动机调节成分的重要性,并可能有助于为特定学生群体提供更优的支持。

Gender-specific same- and cross-domain effects of academic performance and subjective well-being in Chinese adolescent friendships 中国青少年友谊中学业成绩和主观幸福感的性别同域和跨域效应
IF 9 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.lindif.2025.102833

This study explored the same- and cross-domain contributions of friends' academic performance and subjective well-being (SWB) and potential gender differences among Chinese early adolescents. Participants were 1182 initial fifth-grade children (Mage = 11.25 years, SD = 0.34, 54.8 % girls) within 591 same-gender friendship dyads. Two-wave data on academic performance, SWB, and friendships were collected from self-reports and peer nominations. Results of actor-partner interdependence model showed that SWB of adolescents positively predicted their later academic performance while the reverse relation was non-significant across gender. For partner effects, contagion effects of academic performance for boys and SWB for girls in friendships across time were found. Cross-domain effects were observed exclusively among girls, where friendships with higher SWB were linked to increased academic performance while having friends with higher math performance predicted lower SWB. These findings advance our understanding of gender-specific friendship influences on academic performance and SWB, with practical implications discussed.

Educational relevance statement

This one-year longitudinal study investigated the same- and cross-domain effects of adolescents' academic performance and subjective well-being through the lens of friendship in the Chinese context, where academic success is emphasized but happiness is overlooked. Our study highlighted the significance of SWB as a cross-domain predictor of higher academic performance among Chinese early adolescents. Gender differences were notable: boys' academic performance and girls' SWB were contagious in friendship over time. Girls with happier friends had better academic performance, while those with higher-achieving math friends had lower SWB. Accordingly, schools and educators should prioritize students' psychological well-being to support their academic functioning. Practitioners in educational settings are encouraged to utilize the gender-specific effects in friend influence to promote academic success and happiness of students.
本研究探讨了中国早期青少年朋友学业成绩和主观幸福感的同域和跨域贡献以及潜在的性别差异。参与者是591对同性友谊中的1182名五年级初中生(年龄= 11.25岁,SD = 0.34, 54.8%是女孩)。学业成绩、主观幸福感和友谊的两波数据是从自我报告和同伴提名中收集的。行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型结果显示,青少年主观幸福感对其学业成绩有正向预测作用,而性别间的负相关关系不显著。在伴侣效应方面,研究发现男孩的学习成绩和女孩在友谊中的主观幸福感会随着时间的推移而产生传染效应。跨领域效应只在女孩中观察到,拥有较高主观幸福感的朋友与学习成绩的提高有关,而拥有较高数学成绩的朋友则预示着较低的主观幸福感。这些发现促进了我们对性别友谊对学习成绩和主观幸福感的影响的理解,并讨论了实际意义。这项为期一年的纵向研究通过友谊的视角调查了中国背景下青少年学业成绩和主观幸福感的同域和跨域效应,在中国背景下,学业成功被强调,而幸福被忽视。本研究强调了主观幸福感作为中国早期青少年学业成绩提高的跨领域预测因子的重要性。性别差异是显著的:随着时间的推移,男孩的学习成绩和女孩的主观幸福感会在友谊中传染。有快乐朋友的女孩学习成绩更好,而有数学成绩更好朋友的女孩的主观幸福感更低。因此,学校和教育工作者应该优先考虑学生的心理健康,以支持他们的学业功能。鼓励教育机构的从业者利用朋友影响中的性别特定效应来促进学生的学业成功和幸福。

We investigated whether elementary students identified as needing intensive early writing interventions exhibit distinct writing profiles based on key writing dimensions—accuracy, productivity, and quality/complexity. We also explored whether the effects of writing support within a Data-Based Individualization (DBI) framework differed by students' writing profile membership. Latent profile analysis conducted on a sample of students (N = 289) with intensive early writing needs—approximately half of whom received DBI support, while the rest received business-as-usual writing instruction—identified three distinct profiles. These profiles varied in the specificity and severity of needs across the writing dimensions. Mixed-effects modeling revealed that students' profile membership did not moderate the impact of DBI on post-intervention writing outcomes. We discuss these findings in relation to theoretical and methodological implications for better understanding and examining young students struggling with beginning writing, as well as practical implications for instructional and assessment practices.
我们调查了被确定需要密集的早期写作干预的小学生是否表现出基于关键写作维度(准确性、生产力和质量/复杂性)的不同写作特征。我们还探讨了在基于数据的个性化(DBI)框架中,写作支持的效果是否因学生的写作档案成员而异。对具有密集早期写作需求的学生样本(N = 289)进行了潜在特征分析,其中大约一半接受了DBI支持,而其余的则接受了日常写作指导,确定了三种不同的特征。这些特征在写作需求的特异性和严重性上各不相同。混合效应模型显示,学生的档案成员没有调节DBI对干预后写作结果的影响。我们将讨论这些发现对更好地理解和检查在开始写作方面挣扎的年轻学生的理论和方法意义,以及对教学和评估实践的实际意义。

Who loses motivation and who keeps it up? Investigating factors for changes in motivational profiles across multiple domains 谁会失去动力,谁又会坚持下去?调查跨多个领域的动机概况变化的因素
IF 9 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-09-19 DOI: 10.1016/j.lindif.2025.102798

In this three-year-longitudinal study, we examined how students' gender, conscientiousness, academic specialization, and perceived need satisfaction predict stability and change in students' extrinsic and intrinsic value beliefs across mathematics, German, English, and French. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between changes in these motivational profiles and students' domain-specific academic achievement. Multilevel latent transition analyses based on a sample of 850 Swiss-German upper-secondary students (Mage = 15.6 years, 54 % female) revealed four domain-independent profiles of extrinsic value beliefs and five domain-specific profiles of intrinsic value beliefs. Transitions into profiles with lower extrinsic value beliefs were related to stable personal factors such as students' gender, choice of specialization domain, and conscientiousness. In contrast, changes in intrinsic value beliefs depended on students' year-specific perceived need satisfaction, notably in mathematics and French. There were no significant associations between a decline in intrinsic value beliefs and students' domain-specific achievement at any measurement point.

Educational relevance statement

Across math and languages in 9th to 11th grade, some students' ascribed value to these subjects declines whereas others' remains stable. Being male, choosing a STEM major, and being less conscientious predict loss in value ascribed to grades. Lack of perceived autonomy, competence, and social embeddedness predicts loss in subject likeability. Interventions aimed at improving students' perceived autonomy, competence, and social embeddedness may prevent motivational decline.
在这项为期三年的纵向研究中,我们研究了学生的性别、责任心、学术专业化和感知需求满意度如何预测数学、德语、英语和法语学生外在和内在价值信念的稳定性和变化。此外,我们还调查了这些动机特征的变化与学生特定领域学业成绩的关系。基于850名瑞士-德国高中生(年龄15.6岁,女性占54%)样本的多水平潜在转移分析揭示了外在价值信念的4个领域独立特征和5个领域特定特征。外在价值信念较低与学生性别、专业领域选择和责任心等稳定的个人因素有关。而内在价值信念的变化则依赖于学生特定年级的感知需求满足,特别是在数学和法语方面。在任何测量点上,内在价值信念的下降和学生特定领域的成就之间都没有显著的联系。教育相关性陈述在9年级到11年级的数学和语言课程中,一些学生认为这些科目的价值下降了,而另一些学生认为这些科目的价值保持稳定。作为男性,选择STEM专业,以及不那么认真,预示着分数价值的损失。缺乏自主性、能力和社会嵌入性预示着受欢迎程度的下降。旨在提高学生感知的自主性、能力和社会嵌入性的干预措施可以防止动机下降。

Mathematics motivation, achievement, and gender inequality in social intuitions: Unpacking gender differences in STEM career expectations across 75 societies 数学动机、成就和社会直觉中的性别不平等:在75个社会中分析STEM职业期望的性别差异
IF 9 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-21 DOI: 10.1016/j.lindif.2025.102815

Gender disparities in STEM career expectations emerge early and remain persistent worldwide. Drawing on PISA 2022 data from 75 societies (N = 578,627), this study examines how mathematics-related motivation and achievement interact with gender inequality in social institutions. Results indicate that males consistently report higher STEM career expectations than females. Intrinsic value in mathematics widens the gender gap, whereas academic achievement exerts a powerful equalizing effect that, at high levels, allows females to surpass males. Greater gender inequality in social institutions is linked to higher overall STEM expectations but simultaneously amplifies gender gaps. The equalizing effect of achievement is intensified in contexts of stronger family discrimination and restricted civil liberties but weakened when physical integrity is constrained. Conversely, the gap-widening effect of intrinsic value is attenuated under limited access to resources. Findings underscore the need for gender-responsive educational policies that address both individual processes and institutional conditions.

Educational impact and implications statement

This study demonstrates that mathematics-related motivation and achievement interact with gender inequality in social institutions to shape adolescents' STEM career expectations. While intrinsic value tends to widen gender gaps, high levels of academic achievement can act as an equalizer, underscoring the importance of supporting female students' achievement pathways. The moderating role of gender inequality in social institutions indicates that classroom interventions alone are insufficient; broader societal efforts to reduce restrictions on physical integrity are also essential to advance gender equity in STEM career expectations. The weakening of motivational effects under limited resources and assets highlights the need to ensure equitable access to STEM career opportunities. Together, these insights call for gender-responsive strategies and policies that enhance academic achievement, address structural barriers, and foster inclusive environments that encourage both female and male students to pursue STEM careers.
STEM职业期望中的性别差异很早就出现,并在世界范围内持续存在。利用来自75个社会(N = 578,627)的PISA 2022数据,本研究考察了与数学相关的动机和成就如何与社会机构中的性别不平等相互作用。结果表明,男性对STEM职业的期望一直高于女性。数学的内在价值扩大了性别差距,而学术成就则发挥了强大的平衡效应,在较高水平上,女性可以超越男性。社会机构中更大的性别不平等与更高的STEM总体期望有关,但同时也扩大了性别差距。在家庭歧视加剧和公民自由受到限制的情况下,成就的平衡效应会增强,但在身体完整性受到限制的情况下,成就的平衡效应会减弱。相反,在资源获取受限的情况下,内在价值的差距拉大效应减弱。调查结果强调有必要制定兼顾个人进程和体制条件的促进性别平等的教育政策。本研究表明,与数学相关的动机和成就与社会机构中的性别不平等相互作用,塑造了青少年的STEM职业期望。虽然内在价值往往会扩大性别差距,但高水平的学业成绩可以起到均衡器的作用,强调了支持女学生成就之路的重要性。性别不平等在社会制度中的调节作用表明,课堂干预本身是不够的;更广泛的社会努力减少对人身安全的限制,对于促进STEM职业期望中的性别平等也至关重要。在资源和资产有限的情况下,激励效应的减弱凸显了确保公平获得STEM职业机会的必要性。总之,这些见解要求制定促进性别平等的战略和政策,以提高学业成绩,消除结构性障碍,并营造包容性环境,鼓励男女学生追求STEM职业。

Parental response to failure, teachers' goal-oriented instructional practices, and chinese adolescents' mastery motivation in math learning: A longitudinal multilevel examination 父母对失败的反应、教师目标导向教学实践与中国青少年数学学习的掌握动机:一项纵向多水平测试
IF 9 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-09 DOI: 10.1016/j.lindif.2025.102810

This two-wave longitudinal study examined the unique and interactive effects of parents' and teachers' practices on Chinese adolescents' mastery motivation. Participants included 2093 middle school students (M age = 14.01 years, SD = 0.71), their parents, and mathematics teachers. Data were collected via self-report questionnaires completed by parents, teachers and adolescents over six months. Multilevel modeling showed that parental person responses to failure negatively predicted adolescents' persistence at T2, while process responses had a positive effect. For negative reactions to failure, maternal person responses positively predicted negative reactions to failure only in classrooms with high levels of teacher's mastery-oriented practices. No such effect appeared in classrooms with low levels of these practices. Additionally, paternal person responses positively predicted adolescents' negative reactions to failure, whereas paternal process responses negatively predicted adolescents' negative reactions to failure. The implications of the results for parents' and teachers' practices on facilitating adolescents' math learning are discussed.

Educational relevance statement

This study provides new insights into the combined impact of parental and teacher practices on the development of adolescents' mastery motivation when they encounter setbacks in math learning. Using longitudinal multilevel approach, findings indicate that parental process responses foster persistence in adolescents, whereas person responses diminish their persistence when faced with failure. Additionally, when teachers focus on mastery-oriented practices in schools, but mothers emphasize person response at home, adolescents are more likely to have negative reactions to failure. Notably, only maternal person response was found to interact with teacher practices, while paternal responses showed consistent effects on adolescents' mastery motivation regardless of teacher practices. These results suggest that school-based interventions should actively involve both parents. For mothers, it is important to enhance the alignment between their practices at home with classroom practices. For fathers, it is important to improve their awareness of their influential role in adolescents' academic socialization. Encouraging consistent use of process responses across home and school may be key to fostering adolescents' resilience and motivation in the face of academic setbacks.
本研究考察了父母和教师实践对中国青少年掌握动机的独特互动影响。研究对象包括2093名中学生(M年龄= 14.01岁,SD = 0.71)、他们的父母和数学老师。数据通过由家长、老师和青少年在六个月内完成的自我报告问卷收集。多水平模型显示,父母对失败的反应负向预测青少年的T2坚持,而过程反应正向预测青少年的T2坚持。对于失败的消极反应,只有在教师掌握型实践水平高的课堂上,母亲的反应才能积极预测失败的消极反应。在这些练习水平较低的教室里,没有出现这种效果。此外,父亲个人反应正向预测青少年对失败的消极反应,而父亲过程反应负向预测青少年对失败的消极反应。研究结果对家长和教师促进青少年数学学习的实践意义进行了讨论。教育相关性声明本研究提供了父母和教师实践对青少年数学学习挫折时掌握动机发展的综合影响的新见解。采用纵向多水平方法,研究结果表明,父母过程反应促进了青少年的坚持,而个人反应则在面对失败时削弱了他们的坚持。此外,当教师在学校注重以掌握为导向的实践,而母亲在家里强调个人反应时,青少年更有可能对失败产生消极反应。值得注意的是,只有母亲的个人反应与教师的实践相互作用,而父亲的反应对青少年掌握动机的影响是一致的,无论教师的实践如何。这些结果表明,以学校为基础的干预措施应该让父母双方积极参与。对于母亲来说,重要的是要加强她们在家里的实践与课堂实践之间的一致性。对于父亲来说,重要的是要提高他们对青少年学业社会化的影响作用的认识。鼓励在家庭和学校中持续使用过程反应可能是培养青少年面对学业挫折时的适应力和动力的关键。
