Summary
Teacher support is crucial for doctoral students' academic performance in Indonesia. Student engagement boosts well-being, while parental support reduces stress, enhancing the overall doctoral education experience.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Psychology
Background:
- Doctoral education quality is often assessed by student academic performance.
- Limited research exists on the interplay of factors influencing doctoral students' academic success.
- Understanding these factors is vital for improving doctoral programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate factors influencing academic performance among mathematics education doctoral students in Indonesia.
- To explore the relationships between student engagement, well-being, stress, and academic success.
- To identify key support systems impacting doctoral students.
Main Methods:
- A quantitative study utilizing an online questionnaire distributed to 147 mathematics education doctoral students.
- Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed for data analysis.
- Key variables included fear of delay, student engagement, parental support, teacher support, facilitating conditions, stress, well-being, and academic performance.
Main Results:
- Teacher support demonstrated the strongest positive influence on academic performance.
- Student engagement was the most significant positive predictor of doctoral students' well-being.
- Parental support was the most effective factor in reducing student stress levels.
Conclusions:
- Teacher support is paramount for enhancing mathematics education doctoral students' academic performance in Indonesia.
- Interventions promoting student engagement and parental support can improve doctoral student well-being and reduce stress.
- The findings offer practical insights for universities and supervisors to foster academic success and improve doctoral program quality.

71
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

In a spring-mass-damper system, the second-order differential equation describes the dynamic behavior of the system. When transformed into the Laplace domain under zero initial conditions, this equation can be effectively analyzed and manipulated. The transformation into the Laplace domain converts differential equations into algebraic equations, simplifying the process of isolating the output.

Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
