Background - Since 2016, the Securities Commission (SC) in Malaysia has given licenses to only eleven P2P lending platforms. Such lending platforms are expected to disrupt the lending services of traditional lenders in the coming years. However, being still in their infant stages, it is essential to know the extent to which such platforms are made known to potential investors out there. This study examines the extent to which young adults are aware of Malaysia's eleven P2P lending platforms. Methods - A sample of 65 undergraduate students majoring in finance and accounting was used for this pilot study. An online questionnaire was designed with three main parts: demographic, financial literacy, and P2P lending awareness. Results - Findings show that more than half of respondents in the sample are not aware of P2P lending platforms in Malaysia. Most of the respondents are financially literate to certain degrees.

The wide use of peer-to-peer lending platforms coupled with the Fintech global race has emphasized the role of social lending activities and their impact on consumers in recent years. Starting from the publicly available Bondora database, we analyse determinants of loan default during the 2013-2021 period by studying individual economic and social factors of borrowers. We apply a Logit model to estimate the ex-post probability of default on both original variables provided by the database and factors obtained by Principal Component Analysis. Results show the fundamental role of borrowers’ education in reducing the probability of default, as with financial awareness obtained by loan characteristics. In addition, gender plays an important role in determining loan default, with a particular focus on women's conditions within the family. Regarding financial inclusion and its social implications, our findings suggest different ways to improve financial literacy and promote peer-to-pe...

The Lesotho Junior Certificate results between 2003 and 2006 indicate that in the rural secondary schools of Lesotho the pass rate ranged from 51% to 58%. These figures are low compared to those in the urban schools for the same years which ranged from 70% to 72%. In addition, the Teaching Service Department shows that there was 40% of unqualified teachers in these rural schools in 2003 and 35% in 2007. There seems to be a correlation between the high numbers of unqualified teachers and low academic achievement of learners in these schools. This study was undertaken to determine the extent to which matching teaching a nd learning styles enhances academic achievement of learners in the rural secondary school ecologies of Lesotho, with t he view to improve academic achievement of such schools. The Solomon Felder Index of Learning Styles (SFILS) and selfdesigned teaching style questionnaire were used using 190 learners and 95 teachers from rural secondary schools, respectively. The empirical findings indicate that mismatches of teaching and learning styles largely inhibit academic achievement of learners while matching them largely enhances this achievement. The findings of this research indicated that mismatches do exist in the teaching styles of teachers and their learners' learning styles and that matching teaching and learning styles enhances academic achievement of learners in rural learning ecologies. In this regard, it is recommended that: Teachers should match their teaching styles with the learning styles of their learners in most lessons to enhance their learners' academic achievement.

The importance of undergraduate business education is rooted in the preparation it provides for meeting the future challenges of the business jungle. However, empirical research about undergraduate business education in Macau is neglected to some extent. It is necessary to put more efforts to investigate this topic in order to provide more information for institutions of higher education to improve the quality of business education. The purpose of this study was to examine the possible relationships among Macau business undergraduates’ personalities, learning styles, learning motivations, and academic performance. This study recruited 268 (92 males and 74 females) first-year undergraduate Chinese business majors from a university in Macau. Based on zero-order correlation, we found two variables significantly associated with academic performance: emotional stability from the personality variables, and self-efficacy from the motivational variables. Regression analysis revealed that three variables were valid predictors: test anxiety, self-efficacy, and Active-Reflective dimension. We examined possible effects of gender and Macau residency status on our sample’s academic performance using two-way ANOVA, and found that the gender variable impacted our participants’ academic performance (female students had higher scores than males did).

The "Identity" team of the "Personalization and Social Change" Laboratory 1 focuses its reflections and research on the theme of reciprocal influence and links between changes in identity behaviors and strategies and transformations of social roles. In the context of interpersonal relations, the individual orients his or her "role activities" according to identity strategies, which can be operationally identified by analyzing verbalizations and egocentric behaviors in interaction situations. The activities in roles are not to be considered as the individual translation of prescriptions whose coherence would be to be sought at a broad collective level (social and cultural functionalism). On the contrary, the individual engaged in interpersonal relations will play the proposed roles according to a certain style bringing into play multiple personal registers, while taking into account the resistances which the situation, the technical context and the other actors oppose to him. The individual seeks all the more to assert himself or to defend himself that he badly supports these resistances to his owneffort of coherence, continuity and positivity. Identity strategies are established when situations and relationships are experienced in a critical or conflictual mode: tense or empty situations, aggressive or distant relationships. They are manifested in behaviors by offensive mobilizations-affirmations, search for valorization, effort of coherence-or defensive-withdrawal, isolation, doubt, reactions of inferiorization or dispersion. They appear as reactionary formations to the dispersion and the impotence of the self, and are expressed all the more easily that the usual roles, prescribed or not, are too rigid, or on the contrary diluted and uncertain. They are revealed, through the conducts, as logics, styles possibly obscure and irrational, but identifiable. The general objective of the team is the analysis of the processes of construction-from early childhood-and of conflictual expression of these strategies when changes occur in socio-cultural practices and in the play of social roles: educational styles and new parentalities, new individualisms and new sociabilities, transformation of professional roles and technical changes, modification of communication and animation styles... Such mutations favor the emergence of uncertainties and conflicts to which the subjects react by reactionary behaviors more or less organized in systems.

The main objectives of this research study were to identify the differences in the learning styles amongst the students enrolled in the College of Education (COE) at Kuwait University (KU), and to scrutinize if these differences are correlated to several demographic independent variables such as gender, major, grade point average (GPA), and academic year level. A stratified random sample—to ensure the diversity of participants in the sample— of 214 undergraduate students were randomly selected to participate in this study. As their main tool for data collection purpose, the researchers used “Dunn & Dunn Learning Style Inventory (LSI)” measurement model for learning styles after being translated prudently into Arabic. This translated tool was carefully assessed by experts in the field for its validity and reliability, resulting with a 0.771 alpha Cronbach’s value. The results of the study revealed that the “perceptual” type of learning styles is the most outspread type amongst the COE’s students. Nevertheless, no significant differences were found amongst the students with regard to the independent variables of major, GPA, and academic year level. However, the results showed that significant differences in learning styles amongst the students were evidently observed with regard to the gender variable. The study suggested some valuable recommendations such as starting an awareness and professional development/training campaign about learning styles at KU with faculty members and the academic support staff as the main targeted audience. The study also recommended conducting more research studies on this topic spanning wider range of colleges and students at KU and on a national level at the State of Kuwait’s educational institutions.

This quasi experimental study aims to investigate how written retelling technique affects the reading comprehension of university students having different personality learning styles (introverted vs. extroverted). A reading comprehension test and a questionnaire were utilized to collect the data. Two groups of students were involved in the study, with the experimental group receiving the treatment of being taught using a written retelling technique and the control group being taught using the oral retelling technique. The results of the study revealed that the first group of students showed better performance in reading comprehension test than the latter group. Even though there was a significant difference between the extroverted and the introverted students in reading comprehension achievement, the findings suggest that written retelling technique was more effective regardless of the personality learning styles. Abstrak: Penelitian quasi-eksperimental ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki bagaimana dampak teknik written retelling (menceritakan kembali sebuah teks dalam bentuk tulisan) terhadap reading comprehension (kemampuan memahami bacaan) dari mahasiswa dengan personality learning styles berbeda (introvert vs. ekstrovert).

Learning style is one of the main factors attributed to the success and failure of students’ study. Many students are not aware of what learning style they should practice in order to upgrade their performance for future success, and the classroom teacher usually fails to help their students learn effectively by not giving them enough constructive advice and different techniques in learning. The results of the data indicate that the participants prefer group learning rather than individual learning most of the time. They consider Group Learning to be less boring, yet more understanding and more effective.

The ways in which an individual characteristically acquires, retains, and retrieves information are collectively termed the individual's learning style. Mismatches often occur between the learning styles of students in a language class and the teaching style of the instructor, with unfortunate effects on the quality of the students' learning and on their attitudes toward the class and the subject. This paper defines several dimensions of learning style thought to be particularly relevant to foreign and second language education, outlines ways in which certain learning styles are favored by the teaching styles of most language instructors, and suggests steps to address the educational needs of all students in foreign language classes.

The current article explores Moore's theory of transactional distance in a web-enhanced introductory biology course. A questionnaire containing open-ended questions that focused on components of the transactional distance theory was utilized to examine college students' perceptions of virtual laboratories in an introductory biology course. Virtual laboratories are 145 computer-based simulations designed to inculcate specific scientific concepts and experimental procedures. Virtual laboratories are effective instructional tools in both online and traditional STEM courses. Previous research has suggested that reduction of transactional distance in the online and traditional classroom may positively influence retention rates and student learning outcomes. The qualitative findings in this study will further inform academic intervention strategies to enhance virtual laboratory instructional approaches in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) college courses.

The ways in which an individual characteristically acquires, retains, and retrieves
information are collectively termed the individual’s learning style. Mismatches often occur between
the learning styles of students in a language class and the teaching style of the instructor,
with unfortunate effects on the quality of the students’ learning and on their attitudes toward the
class and the subject. This paper defines several dimensions of learning style thought to be
particularly relevant to foreign and second language education, outlines ways in which certain
learning styles are favored by the teaching styles of most language instructors, and suggests steps
to address the educational needs of all students in foreign language classes.

Your learning styles have more influence than you may realize.
Your preferred styles guide the way you learn.
They also change the way you internally represent experiences, the way you recall information, and even the words you choose.
Research shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the brain.
By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn.
Researchers using brain-imaging technologies have been able to find out the key areas of the brain responsible for each learning style.

This study investigated the effects of cooperative learning instruction versus traditional teaching methods on students' earth science achievement in secondary schools, A total of 770 ninth-grade students enrolled in 20 sections of a required earth science course participated in this nonequivalent control group quasi-experiment. The control groups (n = 10) received a traditional approach, while the experimental groups (n = 10) used cooperative strategies. Study results include (a) no significant differences were found between the experimental groups and the control groups when overall achievement (P = 0.13, p > .05), knowledge-level (T = 0.12, p > .05), and comprehension-level (F = 0.34, p > .05) test items were considered; and (b) students who worked cooperatively performed significantly better than students who worked alone on the application-level test items (T = 4.63, p <
