    Introduction This study evaluated the mediating role of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between internet addiction and academic procrastination among Peruvian university students. Method A cross-sectional explanatory design was employed with a convenience sample of 334 participants. Instruments used included the Specific Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale of Academic Situations (EAPESA), the Lima Internet Addiction Scale (EAIL), and the Academic Procrastination Scale (APS). The reliability and internal structure of each scale were verified, and the EAIL was validated. Descriptive analysis and correlation between variables were conducted, followed by path and mediation analyses. Results Internet addiction significantly negatively affected academic self-efficacy ( β = −0.381, t = −4.52, p < 0.001). Academic self-efficacy negatively impacted academic procrastination ( β = −0.522, t = −7.04, p < 0.001). Internet addiction positively affected academic procrastination ( β = 0.642, t = 5.72, p < 0.001). The total effect of internet addiction on academic procrastination and academic self-efficacy was significant ( β = 0.841, t = 7.17, p < 0.001). Academic self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between internet addiction and academic procrastination, suggesting universities should implement strategies to enhance academic self-efficacy in students.

    This study aims to ascertain whether academic co-creation and attitudes towards research serve as predictors of environmental action among a sample of Peruvian environmental engineering students. The study sample comprised 460 environmental engineering students enrolled in Peruvian universities. For the analysis, the Environmental Action Scale, the Attitudes Towards Research Scale, and the Academic Co-Creation Scale were utilized. Additionally, the data collected were analyzed using correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression models. The findings reveal positive and significant correlations between academic co-creation, attitudes towards research, and environmental action within the studied sample. Linear regression analyses indicated a satisfactory model fit (test F = 70.1, p < 0.001), with attitudes towards research (β = 0.431, p < 0.001) and academic co-creation (β = 0.108, p < 0.05) emerging as significant predictors of environmental action in the participating students (adjusted R2 = 0.231). Consequently, the results suggest that, in this group of Peruvian environmental engineering students, attitudes towards research and academic co-creation are relevant predictors of environmental action. These results may inform directors and educators working with similar student populations in the promotion of pedagogical strategies and institutional policies that integrate academic co-creation as a transversal axis in the training process, while also fostering positive attitudes towards research, without implying generalization to other academic disciplines or broader populations.

    Introduction The present study aims to determine whether anxiety due to COVID-19 (AC) and disposition to critical thinking (DCT) predict academic self-efficacy (AS). Method The study is non-experimental, predictive, and cross-sectional. The sample was made up of 218 university students from northern Peru. The instruments used were the CAS, CTDS, and the EAPESA. Results The results showed that the AS was negatively and positively related to AC and DCT, respectively. AS in university students was significantly predicted by DCT ( p < 0.01), while AC was not a significant predictor ( p > 0.05). Conclusion DCT is a significant predictor of AS, while AC ins not. Strategies must be sought to improve and support this important aspect in each student to improve their disposition to critical thinking and academic self-efficacy. It is recommended for future studies to continue investigating variables associated with academic factors, such as those in this study, that lead to taking action for the effective development of university students.

    Machine learning has advanced significantly in recent years and is being used in higher education to perform various types of data analysis. While the literature demonstrates the application of machine learning algorithms to predict performance in university education, no such applications are found in EBR, let alone in private institutions of a denominational nature, which presents an opportunity to study prediction in these institutions. To address this gap, this research aims to propose a predictive approach as a decision-support tool for regular basic education, using machine learning techniques. Among the techniques utilized, three machine learning models (Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest), along with deep learning models (AlexNet, Gated Recurrent Unit, and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit), were analyzed, as well as ensemble models. Nonetheless, the Ensemble model, which combines deep learning and machine learning techniques, is preferred due to its superior accuracy, precision, and sensitivity performance metrics.

    Introduction This study investigates the impact of institutional reputation (IR), social responsibility (SR) and student loyalty (LY) on student retention (RT) in university students. Methods Using a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design, 409 students of private universities, both domestic and foreign, were surveyed. Results Analysis using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) revealed that SR positively influences LY ( β = 0.218, p < 0.001) and RT ( β = 0.123, p = 0.006). LY showed a strong impact on RT ( β = 0.765, p < 0.001), whereas IR significantly influenced LY ( β = 0.556, p < 0.001). Contrary to expectations, no direct relationship was found between institutional reputation and retention. In addition, it was shown that SR had a positive effect on IR ( β = 0.531, p < 0.001). Conclusion Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that SR positively predicts LY, RT and IR, Ly positively predicts RT and IR LY, with significant implications for university management and research at this educational level.

    Academic achievement serves as a crucial indicator of quality within higher education. In this context, internet addiction and procrastination emerge as significant factors influencing student performance. However, existing literature has predominantly focused on objective and comparative metrics, such as grades, thereby limiting the exploration of the subjective dimension from the student’s perspective. This research aims to investigate the mediating role of internet addiction (IA) in the relationship between academic procrastination (AP) and self-perceived academic achievement (AA) among Peruvian university students. Employing an explanatory and cross-sectional design, data were collected from 525 university students aged 18 to 40 years, utilizing validated instruments such as the Internet Addiction Questionnaire, the University Academic Performance Scale, and the Academic Procrastination Scale. The findings revealed a negative influence of AP on AA (b = −0.385, p < 0.001, 95% CI [−1.457, −0.991]), a positive influence of AP on IA (b = 0.205, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.341, 0.886]), and a positive influence of IA on AA (b = 0.326, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.239, 0.441]). IA partially and competitively mediates 12.5% of the relationship between AP and AA.

    Teaching evaluation performance is an important policy adopted by the governing body of education in Peru to promote the growth of educational quality, professional development, and continuous training of teachers, as well as to ensure educational quality standards, especially in Peruvian elementary education. Therefore, this research aims to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a scale that measures the coping strategies adopted by elementary education teachers when evaluating their performance. A study was conducted with 317 teachers between 20 and 70 years old (M = 43.6, SD = 11.8) in public education, from preschool (10.4%) to secondary (24.9%) educational levels, including special and alternative education, and with employment status of contracted (46.1%) and appointed (53.9%). An exploratory factor analysis was performed, from which four factors emerged. These factors were then corroborated by confirmatory factor analysis (χ2 = 162, df = 13, CFI = 0.968, TLI = 0.961, RMSEA = 0.061, and SRMR = 0.056) and were named as follows: maladaptive coping, adaptive individual coping, religious coping, and instrumental support coping. Internal reliability was high for the full scale and dimensions (α and ω > 0.8), indicating that it was free of random error, yielding the same results across multiple applications for the same sample. It is concluded that the scale of teachers’ coping strategies towards the evaluation of performance (STCEP) is a valid and reliable instrument to measure coping strategies adopted by elementary education teachers in response to performance evaluation.
