Project description:This article describes data on students' attitudes toward e-learning at an Indonesian higher education institution during the pandemic period. This cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 342 full-time students who studied at Universitas Negeri Jakarta in the 2022-2023 academic year. All respondents were determined using the convenience non-probability sampling method. To gather the data, the Attitude Scale Toward E-Learning (ASTEL) developed by Haznedar and Baran [1] was employed. The online survey was distributed to acquire the desired data on individual demographic characteristics (6 items), avoidance of e-learning (10 items), and tendency to e-learning (10 items). It was conducted from February to March 2023 with the support of lecturers. The dataset is available in the form of Microsoft Excel. The collected data provide new insights concerning students' e-learning attitudes with regard to gender, age, grade level, daily duration of internet use, owner of a personal computer, and level of fear of contracting COVID-19. The dataset is made widely accessible to enable more critical and comprehensive investigations. The dataset will provide guidance to lecturers and policymakers in planning the effective use of e-learning and designing appropriate educational programs to enhance students' achievement in technology-supported learning contexts.

Project description:The Kingdom of Morocco has implemented significant reform projects over the past decade to promote youth entrepreneurship. In light of these efforts, it is essential to examine the antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions among students. To this end, the current data article aims to explore the antecedents of civil engineering students' entrepreneurial intentions. Thus, we collected data from civil engineering students using a self-administered questionnaire through Google Forms. We employed the partial least squares structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the collected dataset. The data analysis using SmartPLS software showed that entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurial capacity, and subjective norms positively and significantly affect the civil engineering students' entrepreneurial intention. The insights from this study can be used by Moroccan higher education institutions (HEI) managers to identify crucial elements that can improve students' inclination towards entrepreneurship.

Project description:This descriptive study examined the mental health literacy levels and attitudes towards seeking psychological help among university students. The study was conducted with 317 students from a university in Türkiye. Data were collected via an online platform using a Personal Information Form, the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) and the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPHS-SF). Participants, with an average age of 20 ± 1, were predominantly female (89%). Most had previously sought psychological support (75.1%) and believed the psychology information obtained online was accurate (61.2%). Significant differences were found between residential location (p = 0.034) and maternal education level (p = 0.017) with the Knowledge Subscale of MHLS, and between history of seeking psychological support (p = 0.010) with the Resource Subscale of MHLS. Additionally, there was a significant difference between seeking psychological support history and mean ATSPPHS-SF scores (p = 0.060). The scores on MHLS (13.15 ± 3.38) and ATSPPHS-SF (18.38 ± 3.77) indicated moderate levels, with a positive and significant relationship between the scales' total scores (p = 0.000). The study concluded that mental health literacy is crucial for increasing the rate of seeking psychological help. Addressing the lack of knowledge regarding mental health is essential for early diagnosis, prevention and maintenance of mental health. It is recommended incorporating mental health literacy content into university curricula, initiating efforts to provide information about psychological help resources and engaging psychiatric nurses in educational roles on campus through multidisciplinary planning.

Project description:This article illustrates the dataset that explores the effects of perceived educational supports on entrepreneurial self-efficacy, attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. The scales from previous studies were adopted to develop the questionnaires using the five-Likert scale. 2218 fulfilled responses were included in the sample, which recruited from fourteen universities in Vietnam with the similar index. Also, a quantitative method was utilized to examine the dataset. Cronbach's alpha was used to test the reliability of each construct, then explore factory analysis was employed to estimate factor loadings of each observed variables and the validity and discrimination of variables was tested through confirmatory factor analysis. Then, the structural equation modelling was used to estimate the effects of perceived educational support on entrepreneurial intention as well as the other paths.

Project description:Academic self-efficacy affects the success of students in the sciences. Our goals were to develop an instrument to assess the self-efficacy and attitudes toward science of students in an undergraduate physiology course. We hypothesized 1) that our instrument would demonstrate that students taking this course would exhibit greater self-efficacy and more positive attitudes toward science than students in a non-science undergraduate course, and 2) that the physiology students' self-efficacy and attitudes would improve after completing the course. A 25-question survey instrument was developed with items investigating demographic information, self-efficacy, content knowledge, confidence, and attitudes regarding science. Students in either an undergraduate physiology course (Group P) or a history course (Group H) completed the survey. Forty-eight students in Group P completed both PRE- and POST-class surveys, while 50 students in Group H completed the pre-class survey. The academic self-efficacy of Group P as assessed by the PRE-survey was significantly higher than Group H (p=0.0003). Interestingly, there was no significant difference between groups in content knowledge in the PRE-survey. The self-efficacy of Group P was significantly higher as assessed by the POST-survey, when compared to the PRE-survey (p<0.0001) coincident with an improvement (p<0.001) in content knowledge for Group P in the POST-survey. This study established a survey instrument with utility in assessing self-efficacy, attitudes, and content knowledge. Our approach has applicability to studies designed to determine the impact of instructional variables on academic self-efficacy, attitudes, and confidence of students in the sciences.

Project description:This data was obtained from a cross-sectional survey of 188 final year Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students in a Malaysian Public University. The survey was self-administered to final year BBA students undergoing seminar course prior to the commencement of their industrial training in the coming semester. A regression analysis was conducted in order to assess the link between students' self-esteem, pro-active personality, and social support with their career adaptability using the Statistical Package of the Social Sciences (SPSS) 20. Specifically, this data article provides data about the participants' demographic characteristics, as well as the mean, standard deviation and reliability of the measured constructs. It is believed by the authors that the dataset will guide policy makers on the choice of predictor(s) that could boost the level of students' career adaptability, most especially during the school to work transition, in this current volatile labour market.

Project description:The scope of the dataset allows to examine undergraduate hospitality and tourism students' intentions towards environmental sustainability. Moreover, it is possible to compare factors (knowledge, attitude, perceived behavioral control, and intention) towards environmental sustainability between hospitality and tourism students based on different socio-demographic characteristics. To fulfill these objectives, data was collected through a bilingual questionnaire containing 312 valid responses from undergraduate students studying towards a business degree. The questionnaire was administered at the Prince of Songkla University in Phuket, Thailand in the fourth quarter of 2021. Moreover, the data collection adhered to the NESH principles applicable for Social Science Research. The data collection instrument was validated for international consistency and reliability through a three-person panel of research experts and validated using the IOC method. Furthermore, the questionnaire was tested with a targeted sample consisting of ten students prior to its implementation. The dataset serves as an insightful reference for practitioners and policymakers in higher education to adjust their pedagogy, in addition to, as a secondary data source for educational researchers to examine undergraduate hospitality and tourism students' intentions towards environmental sustainability.

Project description:This multi-country study used role models to boost perceptions of entrepreneurial feasibility and desirability. The results of a structural equation model based on a sample comprising 426 individuals who were primarily from Austria, Finland and Greece revealed a significant positive influence on perceived entrepreneurial desirability and feasibility. These findings support the argument for embedding entrepreneurial role models in entrepreneurship education courses to promote entrepreneurial activities. This direction is not only relevant for the academic community but also essential for nascent entrepreneurs, policymakers and society at large.

Project description:BackgroundTo assess knowledge and attitudes regarding elective oocyte cryopreservation among female undergraduate students (UG) and medical students (MS) in Eastern Virginia.MethodsAn anonymous cross-sectional study surveying female UG at a local university and MS at our academic medical center in May of 2017. The survey contained questions on demographic information, interest in fertility preservation, and knowledge about age related changes in fertility.ResultsThere were 74 of 102 female UG and 95 of 117 female MS who responded, for a response rate of 73 and 81% respectively. UG were significantly younger than MS (21.4 vs 26.8, p < 0.001). Further, UG generally planned on conceiving at a younger age than MS (age 26-30 vs 31-35), and favored younger ages to consider oocyte cryopreservation (age 26-30 vs 31-35). Only a minority of both UG and MS were willing to undergo egg freezing at the current price of approximately $10,000 (15% vs 26% respectively, p = 0.044). Moreover, 73% of students overall responded that they would be more likely to freeze oocytes if their employer paid. Notably, both UG and MS underestimated age of fertility decline.ConclusionBoth UG and MS revealed a need for education on age-related changes in fertility. Most UG and MS would not undergo elective oocyte cryopreservation at the present cost but would consider it at a lower cost.

Project description:IntroductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate usage habits, attitudes and perceptions towards mobile learning (m-learning), as well as to identify variables related to those attitudes amongst undergraduate dental students.Materials and methodsThe study consists of 81 dental undergraduate students who who volunteered to participate. The data collection tool consists of an m-learning attitude scale, a questionnaire, and open-ended questions. To compare the total scores and factors of m-learning attitude scale for demographic information and mobile technology usage habits of the students; the Mann-Whitney U test was used for two independent groups such as gender, presence of electronic devices, and places of Internet usage. The Kruskal-Wallis test was also used to compare the total scores and factors of m-learning attitude scale for more than two independent groups including internet usage purposes and opinions. Spearman's correlation coefficient was performed, and linear regression analysis was used to predict the change in total score according to the purposes of Internet usage.ResultsThe majority of students thought that the use of mobile devices in dentistry courses was useful and their attitudes towards m-learning were high. The students generally use the Internet for online shopping, connecting to social networks, and communication. They tend to use mobile technologies for personal use, followed by educational purposes. There were significant differences found in the m-learning attitudes for gender, having a portable power supply and use of mobile devices in dentistry courses. Communication was found significant in predicting the change in total score for the m-learning attitude scale according to the purpose of Internet usage.ConclusionDental students have generally positive attitudes towards m-learning. Students raise awareness towards the promise of m-learning in order to apply their individual technology use and learning behaviours. Designing learning materials and applications for mobile devices may increase students' performances.
