This study examines the extent to which primary school students are motivated to learn two significant academic subjects, namely mathematics and English as a foreign language (EFL). Additionally, it explores the trends in motivational levels as students advance through different grades. It is crucial to track both intrinsic and extrinsic…

The integration of digital learning tools in school science classes has garnered significant attention, prompting an investigation into their effects on student engagement and achievement. This study examines the impact of students' access to technology, teachers' digital competency, and the frequent use of digital tools on the engagement and…

Motivation plays a crucial role in successful language learning, especially among last-mile learners who face distinct barriers due to geographic isolation and limited access to educational resources. This study aims to understand the key factors influencing English language learning motivation among last-mile learners, serving as a foundation for…

The application of learning models is one of the things that must be considered in the learning process in the classroom. This study aims to determine the effect of the cooperative learning model type STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division) on motivation to learn Mathematics in class VIII students of SMP 2 Mlati Yogyakarta. The research design…

Personalized problem selection enhances student practice in tutoring systems. Prior research has focused on transparent problem selection that supports learner control but rarely engages learners in selecting practice materials. We explored how different levels of control (i.e., full AI control, shared control, and full learner control), combined…

The use of interactive multimedia has the potential to create a high-quality learning environment. The key elements of various media, user control over information delivery and interactivity can be used to improve the learning process by creating an integrated learning environment. This study aims to determine the increase in students' attention,…

Science learning takes place not only in the context of science class but also after class. Students' internal forms of motivation, such as curiosity and interest, affect the entire science learning process in both in-class and after-class contexts. In addition, both stable existing learner characteristics, such as science curiosity and interest…

Personalizing learning with technology in secondary schools is a way to empower students to take control of their learning. The more learners can direct their own learning experiences, including path, pace and instructional approach, the more they may learn what they want and need to learn. In a quasi-experimental design, data about the…

Differentiated Instruction (DI), as a single instructional technique that focuses on the challenges of meeting varied needs and qualities of learners in inclusive educational contexts, has recently attracted great attention in the field of education. The present study aims to explore the effects of differentiated instruction (DI) on foreign…

The current study assessed 495 middle school students in China using self-report questionnaires, to examine the multiple mediating effects of intrinsic motivation and learning engagement (vitality, dedication and absorption) in the relations between technology acceptance and students' self-regulated learning. The results indicated that technology…

Recent literature justifies the use of virtual learning in supporting middle-grades students' mathematical knowledge development and emphasizes the critical role of motivation in learning (Lo & Hew, 2020; Murphy et al., 2020; Spitzer & Musslick, 2021). Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation both play a role in learning for middle-grades…

Background: Even though monitoring and control enactment are key aspects of self-regulated learning (SRL), Adaptive learning technologies (ALTs) may reduce the need for learners to monitor and control their learning. Personalized dashboards are effective in supporting learners' monitoring and can potentially support control behaviour. Allowing…

This study investigated the extent to which explicit and implicit instruction improve L1-Arabic speakers' articulation of English words whose cognates were acquired earlier in their L2 French. Sixty-eight secondary school students, explicit (n=35) and implicit (n=33), participated in a programme incorporating focus-on-pronunciation activities,…

Recent empirical research has demonstrated the importance of mastery motivation in child development. Therefore, it is essential to have valid and reliable instruments to measure this variable. The Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaires (DMQ 18) was validated in English, Hungarian, Chinese and Spanish. In this article, we evaluate the psychometric…

This study aims to understand a middle school mathematics teacher's instruction and reflections on her experiences with supplementary curricular materials enriched with interactive simulations--PhET interactive simulations (sims) and sim-based materials--over two years. We conceptualize Linda's (pseudonym) teaching in terms of both thinking and…
