This study focused on freshmen at Yunnan Normal University. The research objectives were threefold: (1) to investigate the role of self-regulatory methods in enhancing students' autonomous learning ability, (2) to study the differences between the control group and the experimental group, and (3) to determine if students are satisfied with…

Climate change is a nuanced global issue with a scope that is often difficult to fully appreciate. This study examined an undergraduate course focused on the impacts and responses to climate change on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, USA. The course utilized a socioscientific issues (SSI) approach to examine global climate change in a local…

Work-integrated learning (WIL) has the capacity to combine academic knowledge with practical experience through specialized programs. While there is extensive literature on WIL, there exists a dearth of research on learners' perspectives, particularly in comparative studies across majors. This study compares the perspectives of 164 engineering…

Domestic immersion (DI) is an effective context for postsecondary language learning, given that DI's instructor-curated environments promote meaningful second language use while providing abundant support for learners. However, DI is at present understudied within second language acquisition research, especially when compared to its more…

As the world is becoming a more connected and interdependent place, a fast growing literature has examined the effects of foreign experiences on cognitive and psychological outcomes. The current research seeks to explore the relationship between living abroad and intellectual humility. To this end, we conducted four methodologically diverse…

While the relationship between language experience and foreign language aptitude (FLA) has been studied extensively, little is known about the underlying intermediate link between them. This study investigates whether multilingual learning experience is correlated with FLA and whether working memory (WM) mediates this relationship. A total of 93…

The flipped classroom teaching model has been widely used in anatomy education to embrace a blended learning strategy. However, the impact that a continuous flipped classroom teaching model exerts on student learning of human topographic anatomy remains unclear. To address this question, student learning experience and performance were compared…

Despite the widespread implementation of learning analytics (LA)-based feedback systems, there exists a gap in empirical investigations regarding their influence on learning outcomes. Moreover, existing research primarily focuses on individual differences, such as self-regulation and motivation, overlooking the potential of feedback literacy (FL).…

This study aims to propound an instructional design for a service-learning course grounded in public problem analysis and verify its immediate and sustained outcomes through the actual instructional process. A quasi-experimental research design was adopted wherein students who were enrolling in a service-learning course were considered as a…

Blended synchronous learning provides students flexible attendance options for class sessions. This study explored the experiences and interactions of remote and on-campus students in the blended synchronous classroom using a protocol pedagogy framework and a 360-degree camera. This multimethod study included observations and video recordings of…

This study explores and compares the experiences of international students studying through internationalisation abroad (IA) and at a distance (IaD) at a UK university through the lens of Ecological Systems Model. In doing so, we propose a revised Ecological Systems Model, integrating the co-existing but fluid and liminal virtual/physical and…

The lack of diversity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields is a vital issue that carries into the workforce. This study aims to enhance underrepresented students' learning experience and emotional engagement by replacing mathematical abstractions with physical analogues. In the context of a post-secondary STEM course,…

Despite the importance of physics practical work in higher education, its implementation is often hampered by various constraints and problems. Technology, such as learning management systems (LMS) and mobile learning, can offer solutions to some of these problems and enrich students' learning experiences. Therefore, this research proposes a model…

This comparative case study analysis investigated the effect of a flipped classroom model on college students' foreign language learning, under the Constructivist theoretical framework and Bloom's taxonomy. Flipped classroom model, also called flipped learning, emerged a decade ago in the education system as an innovative instruction method for it…

In light of the lack of research on intercultural learning and acculturation in the music education field, the purpose of this multiple case study was to explore international graduate music education students' (IGMES') perspectives on their intercultural learning experiences while studying at two Midwestern universities in the United States. The…
