“…Al-Madi et al (2018) and Liu et al (2019) have seen the positive impact of PBL on knowledge for dental students using paired t-test. Also, Song et al (2022) have observed a positive correlation between student engagement and learning performance with PBL.…”

PurposeThis paper defines and assesses student learning patterns under the influence of problem-based learning (PBL) and their classification into a reasonable minimum number of classes. Study utilizes PBL implemented in an undergraduate Statistics and Operations Research course for techno-management students at a private university in India.Design/methodology/approachStudy employs an in situ experiment using a conceptual model based on learning theory. The participant's end-of-semester GPA is Performance Indicator. Integrating PBL with classroom teaching is unique instructional approach to this study. An unsupervised and supervised data mining approach to analyse PBL impact establishes research conclusions.FindingsThe administration of PBL results in improved learning patterns (above-average) for students with medium attendance. PBL, Gender, Math background, Board and discipline are contributing factors to students' performance in the decision tree. PBL benefits a student of any gender with lower attendance.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to course students from one institute and does not consider external factors.Practical implicationsResearchers can apply learning patterns obtained in this paper highlighting PBL impact to study effect of every innovative pedagogical study. Classification of students based on learning behaviours can help facilitators plan remedial actions.Originality/value1. Clustering is used to extract student learning patterns considering dynamics of student performances over time. Then decision tree is utilized to elicit a simple process of classifying students. 2. Data mining approach overcomes limitations of statistical techniques to provide knowledge impact in presence of demographic characteristics and student attendance.

“…In addition, Tomaszewski et al (2020) argued that student engagement mediates the relationship between students’ socioeconomic status (SES) and academic achievement. Other studies have demonstrated that teaching methods and learning environment are factors related to academic performance, and the relationships between these variables and academic performance are mediated by student engagement ( Simpson and Burnett, 2019 ; Song et al, 2022 ). This study found that classroom climate perceived by English-major teacher education students improved their academic performance by promoting their student engagement, suggesting that student engagement was an important factor associated with academic performance, which supported the findings of previous studies.…”

“…In addition, the relationship between teaching methods, learning environment, socioeconomic status and academic performance are all mediated by student engagement. For example, the case method of instruction improves students’ academic performance by enhancing their engagement ( Song et al, 2022 ). A study on day or boarding students’ academic performance shows that whether students live in school or not, the critical factor related to their academic performance is student engagement ( Simpson and Burnett, 2019 ).…”

“…Meanwhile, studies both in China and abroad have revealed that the perceived classroom climate is positively associated with student engagement ( Rubie-Davies, 2015 ; Gutiérrez et al, 2019 ; Lu et al, 2022 ). In addition, it has been demonstrated that student engagement often plays a partial or complete mediating effect on the association between academic performance and other variables, such as social support ( Chen and Chen, 2021 ; Siu et al, in press ), perceived efficacy ( Chong et al, 2018 ; Wang, 2022 ), teaching style, learning environment and socioeconomic status ( Simpson and Burnett, 2019 ; Tomaszewski et al, 2020 ; Song et al, 2022 ). However, little is known about the mediating effect of student engagement on the association between perceived classroom climate and academic performance.…”

The academic performance of teacher education students predicts their future career development and it is also a significant factor related to their future students’ academic performance. However, little is known about the associations between perceived classroom climate, student engagement and academic performance, especially for English-major teacher education students. This study was to examine English-major teacher education students’ academic performance in relation to perceived classroom climate, student engagement. The questionnaire consisted of the Emotional Classroom Climate Scale, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale – Student Form-3 Item (UWES-SF-3), and the 5-item Academic Performance Scale. This study investigated 307 English-major teacher education students in Guangxi, China. Among them, 280 (91.2%) were females, and 27 (8.8%) were males, aged between 18 and 24 (M = 20.34, SD = 1.26). Results indicated that perceived classroom climate was positively associated with student engagement and academic performance among English-major teacher education students; their student engagement was positively associated with their academic performance, and student engagement partially mediated the relationship between perceived classroom climate and academic performance. The findings supported the motivational process of study demands-resources (SD-R) model and revealed that perceived classroom climate and student engagement were significant factors linked to academic performance, and practical suggestions were discussed.

The article contains the results of scientific research on the process of building ecological competence of schoolchildren on the basis of axiology. The analysis of the integrated educational process in general secondary and out-of-school education institutions through their transversal ecologization has been carried out. A number of social reasons that determine the urgency of these issues has been characterized. The definition of the term "environmental competence of students" has been defined as awareness of the ecological foundations of nature management, the need to protect nature, compliance with the rules of behavior in nature, economical use of natural resources, understanding of the context and relationship of economic activity and the importance of nature conservation to ensure the sustainable development of the society. The analysis of the legislative field on determining the axiological basis for building environmental competence of schoolchildren, particularly through the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Education" and the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education has been carried out. The formation of the concept of "value" in certain periods of development of educational process subjects has been studied. The axiological principles of building ecological competence of schoolchildren have been determined, the significance of upbringing as an integral part of the educational process has been revealed. The methodology of determining the content (environmental knowledge, skills, personal willpower), establishing forms (forms of general secondary education, forms of extracurricular education) and methods (organization and implementation of educational and cognitive activities, active learning, control and self-control, stimulating learning activities), building ecological competence of schoolchildren has been created. It has been proved, that the social effect of qualitative building of environmental competence of schoolchildren will be manifested in improving their nearest environment; upbringing conscious, ecologically competent citizens able to think critically and make competent decisions about the environment; actualizing socially significant functions of education; increasing social cohesion around environmental issues; promoting social formation of schoolchildren
