This study, anchored in the empirical domain of student learning experiences, employs the Chaoxing Fanya network teaching platform to delineate a comprehensive model of factors that influence student learning experiences within the framework of blended collaborative learning. Through a rigorous synthesis of extant literature and qualitative…

Pre-service teachers (PSTs) experience the greatest vulnerability in their teacher self-efficacy (TSE) during their practicum experience, hence understanding how various TSE sources contribute to TSE changes across this period is essential. However, little is known about changes in these sources as perceived by PSTs and variations in their…

This study explores the relations among digital literacy, teaching presence, social presence and their impact on perceived online learning within the context of elementary education. The study is grounded in two frameworks that explain online learning: Community of Inquiry (CoI) and digital literacy. Whereas the CoI framework identifies social…

Using the Opportunity-Propensity Model (Byrnes in Dev Rev 56:100911, 2020; Byrnes & Miller in Contemp Educ Psychol 32(4);599-629, 2007), the current study investigated which factors helped predicting children's home learning experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby examining differences between children with (DD; n = 779) and without…

In online education, it is widely recognized that interaction and engagement have an impact on students' academic performance. While previous research has extensively explored interactions between students, instructors, and content, there has been limited exploration of course design elements that promote the fourth type of interaction:…

This research aimed to determine the factor that had the most significant contribution to students' motivation to learn English and the predictors of each element in the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) model in the Vietnamese context. Quantitative results were collected from 231s to year English major students via the survey questionnaire…

According to Bandura's theory of reciprocal determinism, self-efficacy and academic achievement can have a mutual influence over one another. While empirical research generally supports this position, little focus has been given to within- and between-person factors that may moderate this relationship. The present study explored how initial…

Providing pre-training on new material can simplify complex content for learners who may need guidance to understand basic facts and organize their efforts. However, the effect of pre-training on learning outcomes is controversial because it tends to vary by context. Our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of pre-training in reducing…

Purpose: This research aims to elucidate the complex relationships among internship learning performance, problem-solving efficacy, and their determinants by simultaneously examining a key variable that may moderate these relationships. Design/methodology/approach: This study carried out its empirical examination by surveying graduate students at…

The current study examined associations of intersectional social identities on Black women's (N = 126) career self-efficacy and interests at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Structural models examined associations of different aspects of gender and racial identity on Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) predictors (i.e.,…

Background: Students' interest in STEM careers is governed by various factors: (i) family influences, (ii) out-of-school time learning experiences, (iii) inside-of-school learning experiences, and (iii) media influences. Previous studies often investigate the direct influence of these factors, collectively known as environmental factors, on…

This mixed methods study compares L2 learning motivation of Burundi simultaneous learners of French, English and Kiswahili, mainly focusing on L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS). A total of 348 junior high school students participated in a 60-item questionnaire survey, and 12 of those learners participated in a follow-up semi-structured…

In the growing body of research on individual differences in second language (L2) acquisition, this study aims to explore the relationships among the emotions of foreign language enjoyment, anxiety, and willingness to communicate (WTC) among Korean secondary learners. A total of 111 participants completed a questionnaire with closed- and…

The power of knowledgeable peers (in this case undergraduate learning assistants [LAs]) to scaffold learning in ways that can positively influence both cognitive and affective outcomes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), is explored in this study. In terms of the cognitive perspective, we use a metacognitive awareness (MA)…

The rapid surge of digitalization in the education sector has redefined the dynamics of the modern classroom. In a world that embraces convenience, online learning has established its own relevance and has been a subject of considerable interest to researchers worldwide. The majority of studies have focused upon factors that make or break the…
