The number of Massive Open Online Courses' (MOOCs) participants has been increasing over the years but its completion rate is extremely low. Social support/social interaction is one of the key factors that has a huge impact on students' learning motivation in both online and offline environments, but difficult to maintain in MOOCs due to its…

Over the past few decades, there has been a growing emphasis on the appropriateness of group-based activities in student learning. Therefore, this study aimed to provide practical evidence or activities for reducing social loafing with the performance implications of teamwork in students. The planning, intervening, assessing, and reflecting steps…

A flipped classroom is an instructional method whereby students learn course content prior to attending class through various instructional resources. Class time is focused on problem-solving and active learning activities. Flipping the classroom allows instructors to utilize active learning strategies during class time to improve student…

Despite recognising momentary challenges while learning, collaborative groups do not necessarily regulate and adapt their learning process according to the demands. Various online measures have recently been explored to unobtrusively study engagement and adaptation in collaborative learning (CL), as it occurs in the classroom. For example,…

Social emotional learning (SEL) is seen as critical for children's lifelong success. Though most of the research on preschoolers' SEL focuses on school-based interventions, children's museums are valuable resources for fostering SEL. This study compared observations of preschoolers' peer relationship skills in three different types of children's…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about significant changes in our lives, making AI literacy a crucial endeavor for the future. Despite its growing importance in academia, there is limited empirical research on its impact on college students' higher order thinking skills (HOTS). The present study systematically and comprehensively explores…

The process of knowledge transfer within the cooperative classroom has not been widely studied. Previous studies indicate transfer is a multi-dimensional procedure that can spontaneously occur throughout any stage of learning and can be seen as a dynamic process (Hajian, 2019). This study examined educator-perceived transfer of knowledge and…

Background: Attention has been paid to collaboration in digital game-based learning, as it fosters interaction and student engagement, thereby enhancing learning outcomes. Previous findings about the effect of collaboration in digital game-based learning were inconsistent, and few studies have explored the underlying mechanisms, particularly…

Collaboration scripts are widely employed in online collaborative learning to enhance student engagement and facilitate collaboration. However, the optimal level of scripting remains a subject of debate. This study aims to address this issue by designing and developing different types of collaborative scripts implemented through conversational…

Globally, personalised learning platforms (PLPs) are increasing in significance and usage, making them today's most preferred tools to offer tailored learning experiences. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has turned personalised learning into a powerful learning force, thus helping to catalyse the customization and adaptation of learning methods and…

In civil engineering and construction management programs, student collaboration is important for their skill building, but its relationship with student engagement remains elusive. This study explored this relationship by examining the structure and characteristics of student collaboration networks. The results underscore the significance of…

Blended collaborative learning has emerged as an effective pedagogical model that integrates face-to-face and online learning environments, offering a dynamic platform for deep learning--characterized by critical thinking, knowledge synthesis, and application. However, existing research offers mixed findings on how blended collaborative learning…

Background: The use of virtual reality (VR) training in high-stakes fields, including medicine, aviation, and the military, prepares individuals for complex scenarios in a safe and controlled setting. VR aligns with dual-code theory, enhancing learning through visual and kinesthetic engagement. This review investigates the application and…

The internationalization of higher education increasingly involves 'Internationalization at a Distance' (IaD), a modality that alters how students engage with learning communities across geographical and cultural divides. Despite its growing prevalence, the complexity of fostering student engagement in transnational settings remains underexplored.…

Gamification has emerged as a transformative approach in education, integrating game elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, and progress bars with traditional learning to enhance engagement and improve learning outcomes. By leveraging psychological principles of motivation, gamification fosters participation and persistence, making it a…
