Introduction: Degrees in medicine have been designed with an aim to illustrate the interplay between research and medical application in mind. The guiding principle for this design is that evidence-based medicine will lead to better patient outcomes, which underpin the modus operandi of the General Medical Council and the Department of Health in…

Science museums have demonstrated over time, and through various academic researches, to be a favorable environment to awaken the desire to learn more about scientific content, bringing visitors closer to artifacts and concepts in a different way than any other media can offer. In this research, we investigate how the public interacts with the…

The goal of ITS is to support learning content, activities, and resources, adapted to the specific needs of the individual learner and influenced by learner's motivation. One of the major challenges to the mainstream adoption of adaptive learning is the complexity and time involved in guiding the learning process. To tackle these problems, this…

Given the recent attention to language-domain-specific grit in the field of SLA and the scarcity of research on the antecedents of L2 grit, we proposed a model that links L2 learners' basic psychological needs (BPN) (i.e. autonomy, competence, and relatedness), L2 grit (i.e. perseverance of effort (PE) and consistency of interest (CI)), and L2…

While interest in multilingualism is growing, in the field of motivation little research has examined the role played by learners' multilingual selves in constructing their motivation to learn a foreign language other than English (LOTE). Based on a dynamic model of the L2 Motivational Self System, this study explores how Chinese undergraduates'…

Students' valuing of academic content impacts their engagement in learning and plays a pivotal role in shaping their future academic and career choices. Fortunately, practicing educators can integrate many readily applicable strategies into teaching to enhance students' valuing of academic content. Drawing from expectancy-value theory, Eric M.…

The current study aimed to evaluate an online learning experience based on the music model of motivation in an educational technology post-graduate program in Oman. In order to understand the motivational perceptions of students regarding the instruction, a two-phase, sequential explanatory mixed method research design was conducted in this study.…

In STEM hands-on learning activities, collaboration with group members can be a significant motivator for students' engagement. This research is based on the 6E Learning by DeSIGN™ model and explores the impact of incorporating reflective strategies on students' learning performance, motivation, and participation in collaborative STEM learning…

The distribution map of physical education learning motivation could provide information about the electability of motivational items (questionnaires) distributed to several elementary school students. In more detail, this study would analyze the grouping of the electability level of physical education learning motivation items in elementary…

Collaboration is critical to the student-centred learning approach and this is a characteristic feature of the online learning system, as collaborative learning happens to be a major attraction of the online education system. This study investigated innovation in education technology and peer learning outcomes with the mediation of learners'…

While language aptitude and motivation are considered to be important contributors to second language (L2) attainment, two major gaps in the past research have been (1) a lack of nonlinear models stemming from a naive and tacit assumption that learning outcomes are linearly related to their predictors, and (2) a lack of unified and integrative…

Academic and practitioner interest in data science has increased considerably. Yet scholarly understanding of what motivates students to learn data science is still limited. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior, we propose a research model to examine the determinants of behavioral intentions to learn data science. In the proposed research…

Use of modeling as a learning strategy in introductory science courses could serve to support the persistence of all students, including those who identify with a traditionally underrepresented ethnic minority (URM). If students find inherent value in working on modeling-type problems then this authentic practice would aid in transforming personal…

Value clarification technique (VCT) and teaching and contextual learning (CTL) are learning models that are rarely compared in history learning. Hence, the purpose of this study was to find: (1) The differences in student learning outcomes using the VCT model and the CTL learning model; (2) Differences in student learning outcomes between the use…

Studies on utility value, metacognitive strategies, and achievement have usually examined these variables in a static manner. However, each of these variables changes across time and the relationships among them are dynamic. Hence, studies that examine changes in individual trajectories (change in each variable over time) and concurrent…
