The purpose of this research was to analyze the confirmatory components of the computational thinking learning competency measurement model. The sample group consisted of 240 students in the Bachelor of Education Program in Computer and Digital Technology for Education in Years 2-4 of five of the Rattanakosin Rajabhat Universities. Data collection…

The purpose of this paper is to analyze factors that affect the behavioral intentions of undergraduate students to use blended learning methods. The research uses the three-tier use model (3-TUM) to explore the influencing behavioral factors of students at the undergraduate level to use LMSs. "The research was carried out at a university and…

Many educational institutions lack well-defined, targeted policies to address problems relating to student smartphone use on campus. In this study, we analyse the patterns of student smartphone use on academic campuses and propose a range of policy measures to address the problems arising from such use. Our research, which draws on primary data…

This multi-component study assesses perceived mechanisms through which undergraduate and graduate college students use social media and learning management systems (LMS) through multiple regression path modelling. The literature review outlines current work related to investigating the mechanisms of learning through LMS and social media, and…

Most business schools require students to take at least one technical Management Information System (MIS) course. Due to the technical nature of the material, the course and the assessments tend to be anxiety inducing. With over three out of every five students in US colleges suffering from "overwhelming anxiety" in some form, we study…

This study analyses variances among four demographic characteristics -- age, gender, continent, and program of study on international students' perception of a Post-1992 UK university's registration process. Analysis was done with respect to six structured survey questions (dependent variables), which serve as dimensions for measuring students'…

Since the mandatory switch to online education due to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, technology has gained more importance for online teaching and learning environments. The Community of Inquiry (CoI) is one of the validated frameworks widely used to examine online learning. In this paper, we offer an extension to the CoI framework and survey,…

In peer observation of teaching, an experienced colleague in the educational environment of a faculty member observes the educational performance of that faculty member and provides appropriate feedback. The use of peer review as an alternative source of evidence of teaching effectiveness is increasing. However, no research has been done in the…

The perception of academic researchers on management instruments has generated significant controversy in the literature. Studies have highlighted that these perceptions affect research performance more than management itself. This work addresses this issue by proposing a subjective measurement that explains research incentives in a public…

This exploratory study is based on survey research conducted between 2010 and 2017, involving 1,053 graduate students using immersive online learning environments for their coursework. Investigators used course structural factors and student engagement factors to predict students' perceptions of community and presence in the online immersive…

Academic research has consistently shown effective teacher presence to be a significant factor in student satisfaction, engagement, perceived learning, and sense of community. The need for effective teaching presence remains of significant importance, particularly with the vast growth of online courses and online degree programs. It is, therefore,…

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between the psychological variables and online behavioral patterns of students, collected through a learning management system (LMS). As the psychological variable, time and study environment management (TSEM), one of the sub-constructs of MSLQ, was chosen to verify a set of time-related…

Mobile learning (M-learning) provides a new learning channel in which learners can access content and just in time information as required irrespective of the time and location. Even though M-learning is fast evolving in many regions of the world, research addressing the driving factors of M-learning adoption is in short supply. This article…

This study focused on learning equity in colleges and universities where teaching and learning depends heavily on computer technologies. The study used the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate gender and racial/ethnic heterogeneity in the use of a computer based course management system (CMS). Two latent variables (CMS usage and…

Enterprise systems and business process management are the two key information technologies to integrate the functions of a modern business into a coherent and efficient system. While the benefits of these systems are easy to describe, students, especially those without business experience, have difficulty appreciating how these systems are used…
