Background: Engagement is essential for fostering learning and development in young children with disabilities, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID). Methods: This study used a non-concurrent multiple-baseline across participants design to examine the effects of embedded learning opportunities (ELOs)…

In recent years, many studies have highlighted the need to go beyond the "one-size-fits-all" gamification approach to tailored or personalised gamification to optimise students' engagement based on their user attributes. However, little is known about its effectiveness on student engagement. To advance the understanding of personalized…

Background: In light of the growing need to understand interactive learning effectivity and especially post-COVID 19 pandemic constraints, the key question is how to develop interactive videos in order to get the most effective results. Objectives: This research aims to explore the pedagogical benefits of interactive video with branching…

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore the importance of individual learner differences and the effect differentiated instruction (DI) has on learners' levels of engagement. Design/methodology/approach: The author carried out this research using a small-scale action research (AR) study. Findings: The findings suggest that in acknowledging…

The flexible, changing, and uncertain nature of present-day society requires its citizens have new personal, professional, and social competences which exceed the traditional knowledge-based, academic skills imparted in higher education. This study aims to identify those factors associated with active methodologies that predict university…

Diverse student populations with varying learning skills and linguistic barriers exist throughout elementary and higher education settings. Poorer learning outcomes are observed when students are not engaged or motivated to learn. This study aimed to determine techniques used in the classroom such as discussion and debate, research and inquiry or…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a research model based on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model to explore whether gamification and personalization as environmental stimuli to learners' learning engagement (LE) can affect their learning persistence (LP) in massive open online courses (MOOCs) and, in turn, their learning…

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…

The study examined the effects of primary school teachers' professional development activities on differentiated instructional practices in classrooms and possibilities for elevating students' learning engagement. A mixed method with concurrent triangulation design was used. The samples were selected by using purposive, simple random, and…

Teachers naturally engage in the act of 'noticing' as part of their daily practice. This specialised form of noticing, referred to as 'teacher noticing', involves a deliberate focus on specific aspects within the mathematics classroom. The author's PhD research has investigated how the events teachers notice and respond to online in Emergency…

As learners are able to perceive interactivity when interacting with instructors or peer learners in traditional learning environments, learners are similarly able to perceive interactivity when interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) in AI-supported learning environments. Advancements in AI, such as generative AI including ChatGPT and…

This article examines how incorporating the Universal Design for Learning into writing instruction could improve the writing achievement of year four students in regional Victoria, Australia. The Universal Design for Learning is an instructional approach that aims to provide students with meaningful learning experiences through multiple means of…

This dissertation explores the transformative evolution of online learning, focusing on its role in K-12 online education and the critical issue of student engagement. Tracing its origins from early correspondence courses to today's dynamic, technology-driven platforms, this research examines how online learning has revolutionized educational…

The application of student interaction data is a promising field for blended learning (BL), which combines conventional face-to-face and online learning activities. However, the application of online learning technologies in BL settings is particularly challenging for students with lower self-regulatory abilities. In this study, a personalized…

The study examined the effects of a coaching intervention on teachers' ability to implement academically responsive instruction through flexible instructional arrangements in self-contained classrooms for students who are deaf and hard of hearing, as well as the impact of instructional arrangements on students' academic engagement. Using a…
