Benefits of Improved Self-Efficacy in Recreation Activity Leadership Students
Recreation leaders must be creative and adaptable to lead in todays’ evolving communities. Thematic reviews of reflections on a video-recorded leadership activity highlighted differences in self-efficacy between being prepared to lead an activity and being prepared as a recreation activity leader. Study variables, including prior experience, self-efficacy and preparedness, influenced both the focus and impact of student learning. Educator use of authentic in-class activities to build preparatory self-efficacy increased self-confidence, reduced anxiety and improved adaptability.

The Relationship Between Chinese Students’ Well-being and Mathematics in PISA 2018
This study investigates how student well-being affects mathematics achievement in Chinese students in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018. This study used the forced-entry multiple linear regression to explore the variance in mathematics achievement. It found that 18% of the variance in mathematics achievement could be explained by the model consisting of well-being indicators. The results could inform the development of student well-being models and provide insights for improving student learning outcomes.
