The present paper aims at investigating the relationship between students' attitudes toward online homework use and mathematics anxiety among secondary school students. In this study, a model has been proposed by integrating the technology acceptance model (TAM) with mathematics anxiety theory. Three hundred and forty-five secondary school…

Early childhood preservice teachers often graduate with an incomplete understanding of the interplay between play and learning (Zhulamanova 2019; Zhulamanova and Raisor 2020). This mixed-methods pilot study aims to enhance early childhood teacher education by providing teacher candidates with playful, imaginative experiences through storytelling.…

This article reports on an intervention study conducted to improve young Thai learners' motivation and attitudes towards take-home tests. The traditional use of summative tests in education has often led to increased pressure and demotivation among students. Based on formative assessment practices and motivational strategies, the study aimed to…

The MITCA method (Homework Implementation Method) was developed with the purpose of turning homework into an educational resource capable of improving students' self-regulated learning and school engagement. In this paper, following current theoretical frameworks, we evaluate the effect of the MITCA method on students' self-regulated learning. In…

This study aimed to test three homework models defined in different cultures on Turkish high school students. HLM analyses were conducted on data collected from 1,229 high school students, considering 19 student-level and 7 grade-level variables. The dependent variables of the study were academic achievement and homework completion. The findings…

Completing homework is a highly common task shared by nearly all primary- and secondary-level learners throughout their compulsory education globally. This mixed-methods study examined whether the estimated amount of homework completed (HW) in primary and secondary education is related to learners' academic achievement (AA), and what learners'…

This study aims to investigate the impact of using the flipped classroom strategy on motivation and academic achievement in learning science among 9th-grade students Proved as an innovative technique, flipped learning improves academic performance, enhances students' motivation, supports independent learning, triggers higher thinking skills, and…

The benefits of recreational reading for academic success are clear. However, the full potential of recreational reading for socialisation and well-being remains untapped by young readers. Studies of young readers' recreational reading intentions and perceived barriers to translating intentions into reading are scarce. Deaf and hard-of-hearing…

This case study examines how online mathematics homework impacts student learning, attitude, and efficacy in a college Calculus I class. This research is important because it provides data on student perceptions for how to effectively implement online homework. Participants for this study completed homework using a blend of online and paper…

Most students and practitioners commonly see grammar teaching and learning as both tedious and unattractive experiences. In this sense, more innovative ways of presenting foreign language grammar are needed. One such novel approach is Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT), which has proven to be beneficial in a wide array of disciplines, including language…

Badges in education are an increasingly popular phenomenon, and a variety of questions exists as to the abilities and effectiveness of badges. In this study, the effect of digital badges within a Moodle-based online homework system was studied for an undergraduate general physics course at a large research-based university in northeast Taiwan. One…

The introduction of online homework has revolutionized traditional assignment formats, providing students with access to abundant learning resources, a convenient platform for completing assignments, real-time interactive learning opportunities, and accurate feedback. However, there is a paucity of research exploring the perspectives of elementary…

Previous research has shown that students form fragmented understandings about variability even after instruction and that these primitive notions function as obstacles to a robust understanding of variability. To investigate the effect of disruptions to students' primitive notions of variability, we examined undergraduate students' reasoning…

Student perceptions toward homework assigned in general chemistry courses was investigated in this study. The study participants were required to complete homework assignments using two different online systems, ALEKS (adaptive-responsive system) and Sapling (traditional-responsive system). An online survey investigating their general perceptions…

This study aimed to examine multilevel models posited to predict student perceptions of teacher feedback quality. A cross-sectional survey design was used, involving 1072 middle school students. We incorporated two clusters of variables: (a) student characteristics (gender, prior knowledge, parent education, homework expectancy, homework value,…
