The present study tests the following: a) whether perceived competence supportfunctions as a mediator in the associations between academic self-concept and achievement motivation and b) how various learning environments shape these associations. A teacher- directed learning environment (TDL) and a student-centered approach, namely competence- based learning (CBL), were contrasted using latent mean comparison and multi-group structural equation modeling with indirect effects. This study is based on a sample of German students in early and middle adolescence (N = 1,153; MAgeT1 = 13.97, SD = 1.37; MAgeT2 = 14.27, SD = 1.25) in two waves (T1 = Autumn 2015 and T2 = Spring 2016). The results of the latent mean comparison indicate that students from schools with CBL perceive a higher level of academic self-concept compared to students from TDL environments. Moreover, multigroup structural equation modeling demonstrates that perceived competence support functions as a mediator in the association between academic self-concept and achievement motivation primarily for students from schools with CBL. Findings suggest that mostly students with a low level of academic self-concept benefit from CBL because this student- centered learning environment reduces the association between academic self-concept and achievement motivation through a high level of perceived competence support.

Studies of correlations between students’ beliefs and various aspects of student learning become one of the fastest growing research areas in the field of education and psychology. The aim of the current research was to analyze the correlations between learning environments, students' beliefs, and self-regulation in learning physics through structural equation modeling (SEM). There were 1010 students from the existing five public high schools in Jambi city, Indonesia, participating in the research. Three self-report questionnaires including (1) WIHIC, (2) CLASS, and (3) MSLQ were used to collect the research data. The data analysis showed that students’ beliefs were significantly and positively correlated with multiple dimension of self-regulation in learning physics (critical thinking and peer learning); while the dimension of sense-making and problem-solving ability significantly related to the affective component of self-regulation (test anxiety). However, the dimension of students’ beliefs did not have any significant effect on all of the self-regulation components. Additionally, learning environment dimensions were significantly related to students’ beliefs about physics on the dimension of conceptual connection and related to all of the self-regulation dimensions. Keywords: learning environment, self-regulation, students' beliefs, structural equation modeling.

The present study examined perceived sport competence and affect experienced in sport as possible determinants of children’s levels of self-esteem. The sample consisted of 183 summer sport program participants ranging in age from 8 to 13 years. The children completed self-report questionnaires that assessed the constructs of interest. Hypothesized relationships among the constructs were then examined using structural equation modeling techniques. The results revealed that both structural models tested provided an adequate fit with the sample data. For the affect mediator model, perceived competence significantly influenced positive affect and to a lesser degree negative affect, while only positive affect influenced self-esteem. For the perceived competence mediator model, only positive affect significantly influenced perceived competence, which in turn significantly influenced self-esteem. Thus, higher scores on perceived competence and positive affect were associated with higher scores in children’s self-esteem.

Abstract:This is an Ex Post Facto research which aimed to investigate the influence of self concept and family climate through achievement motivation, attitude, and creativity toward mathematics learning outcomes of XIth grade science student of public senior high school in Palopo. Population of this research consisted of all XI grade science students of public senior high schools in Palopo. Sampling was taken by multi-stage random sampling. Data were taken by employing six instruments, namely questionnaire of self concept, family climate, achievement motivation, attitudes to mathematics, mathematics learning creativity, and mathematics learning achievement test. It was analyzed by using SEM analysis (Structural Equation Modeling) by software AMOS 20 and also by Sobel test to examine the indirect influence and signification through intervening. The results of the research showed that students' mathematics learning outcomes was fair category by the mean score of 68 of ideal 100. Whereas self concept with persentage 62.2%, family climate 72.6%, attitudes in mathematics 71%, achievement motivation 70.9%, creativity and learning mathematics 61% from the expected score 100%. Analysis of measurement model explained that all the construct were well explained by the dimensions, and for Goodness of Fit test based on the score of significant probability, RMSEA, GFI, AGFI, CMIN / DF, TLI, and CFI showed that the structural equation model have fulfilled the condition of a good model. Hypothesis test indicated that significant achievement motivation was influenced by self concept and family climate, attitudes to mathematics was significantly influenced by the concept of self, family climate and achievement motivation, creativity was significantly influenced by attitude in mathematics, but not significantly influenced by the self concept and family climate. Moreover, mathematics learning outcomes was significantly influenced directly by self concept, family climate, and mathematics learning creativity. Abstrak:Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian ex-post facto yang bertujuan untuk meneliti pengaruh konsep diri dan iklim keluarga melalui motivasi berprestasi, sikap, dan kreativitas terhadap hasil belajar matematika siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri di Kota Palopo. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua siswa IPA kelas XI SMA Negeri di Palopo. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan multi-stage random sampling. Data diambil dengan menggunakan enam instrumen, yaitu angket konsep diri, iklim keluarga, motivasi berprestasi, sikap matematika, kreativitas belajar matematika, dan tes prestasi belajar matematika. Data kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) dengan menggunakan bantuan software AMOS 20 dan juga dengan menggunakan tes Sobel untuk menguji pengaruh tidak langsung dan signifikansi melalui Variabel Perantara (Intervening). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil belajar matematika berada pada kategori sedang dengan nilai rata-rata dari 68 dari yang ideal 100. Sedangkan konsep diri dengan presentase 62,2%, iklim keluarga 72,6%, sikap dalam matematika 71%, motivasi berprestasi 70,9%, kreativitas dan belajar matematika 61% dari nilai yang diharapkan 100%. Analisis pengukuran model menjelaskan bahwa semua konstruk dijelaskan dengan baik oleh setiap dimensi, dan untuk uji goodness of fit berdasarkan skor signifikansi probabilitas, RMSEA, GFI, AGFI, CMIN / DF, TLI, dan CFI menunjukkan bahwa model persamaan struktural telah memenuhi syarat sebagai model yang baik. Uji hipotesis menunjukkan motivasi berprestasi signifikan dipengaruhi oleh konsep diri dan iklim keluarga, sikap terhadap matematika dipengaruhi oleh konsep diri, iklim keluarga dan motivasi berprestasi, kreativitas dipengaruhi oleh sikap pada matematika, tetapi tidak dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh konsep diri dan iklim keluarga. Selain itu, hasil belajar matematika secara signifikan dipengaruhi secara langsung oleh konsep diri, iklim keluarga, dan kreativitas belajar matematika.

Abstract Background Job embeddedness and professional self-concept are among the important nursing components, the existence of which help decrease occupational burnout among nurses. This study aimed to determine the protective role of Professional Self-concept and Job embeddedness on nurses’burnout. Methods This descriptive, correlational study had a predictive design and was conducted on nurses working in training and healthcare centers of Babol University of Medical Sciences in 2019. In total, 308 nurses participated in this study and were selected by stratified random sampling. In addition, data were collected using demographic characteristics questionnaire, Professional Self-concept questionnaire, Job embeddedness scale and nurses’ burnout questionnaire. Moreover, data analysis was performed in SPSS version 25 and Smart PLS version 3.3 using correlational statistics and structural equation modeling. Results Both the variables of professional self-concept and job embeddedness, had a significant effect on nurses’ burnout at 99% confidence level (P < 0.001) and the negative beta value for these two variables shows the inverse relationship between both professional self-concept and job embeddedness with nurses’ burnout. The value of the coefficient of determination for burnout indicates that both the variables of professional self-concept and job embeddedness, together explain 78% of the changes in the variable of burnout. The beta coefficient for professional self-concept (− 0.50) is higher than the same coefficient for job embeddedness (− 0.42). As a result, the role of professional self-concept in predicting burnout of clinical nurses has been more than the role of job embeddedness. The indirect effect of professional self-concept on burnout of clinical nurses mediated by job embeddedness has been equal to − 0.347. As a result, it can be said that nurses’ professional self-concept has a significant effect on nurses’ burnout through mediation of job embeddedness. Conclusion According to the results of the study, Professional Self-concept had an effective role in nurses’ burnout. In other words, the higher the Professional Self-concept of nurses, the lower their burnout. Therefore, it is suggested that effective interventional strategies be designed by nursing managers through better planning and a supportive workplace be established to improve Professional Self-concept among nurses and decrease their burnout.

Purpose: Evaluating educational programs can improve the quality of education. The present study evaluated the undergraduate occupational health program at the Semnan University of Medical Sciences in Semnan, Iran, with a focus on the associations between alumni perceptions of the learning environment and the outcomes of the occupational health program. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among alumni of the undergraduate occupational health program. We asked alumni to rate their perceptions of the items using a 4-point Likert scale. The associations between alumni perceptions of the educational program and curriculum, faculty, institutional resources, and learning outcomes were modeled and described using structural equation modeling procedures. Results: A descriptive analysis of alumni perceptions indicated low evaluations for the administrative system, practical and research-based courses, and the number of faculty members. We found that a structural model of the evaluation variables of curriculum, faculty qualifications, and institutional resources significantly predicted undergraduate educational outcomes. The curriculum had direct and indirect effects on learning outcomes, mediated by faculty. Conclusion: The findings of our study highlight the usefulness of the structural equation modeling approach for examining links between variables related to the learning process and learning outcomes. Surveys of alumni can provide data for reassessing the learning environment in the light of the professional competencies needed for occupational health graduates.
