With the development of virtual reality technology, 3D multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) have attracted increasing research attention and are thought to bring many learning benefits in higher education. However, the widespread and sustained application of MUVEs in higher education lies in learners' intention to use them, but the mechanism…

The study evaluates the students' behavior intention toward the use of a student information management system (SIMS) at the Institute of Social Work located, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The study offers a significant contribution to the body of literature using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study extends the original TAM with the…

The present study explored different types of task value and their associations with the use of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies across various English as a foreign language (EFL) learning scenarios. The application of SRL strategies is supported by motivational beliefs, including task value. Although prior research has demonstrated the…

The purpose of this study is to apply the Technology Acceptance Model to identify the determinants affecting students' behavioural intentions when it comes to using micro-lectures. The conceptual framework included three antecedents of behavioural intentions -- perceived usefulness of micro-lectures; perceived ease of use of micro-lectures; and…

Undergraduate clinical assessors make expert, multifaceted judgements of consultation skills in concert with medical school OSCE grading rubrics. Assessors are not cognitive machines: their judgements are made in the light of prior experience and social interactions with students. It is important to understand assessors' working conceptualisations…

World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 to be a pandemic on March 12, 2020. In response to that, Malaysia has announced movement control order effective on March 18, 2020, leading to the near-total closures of education centers. University…

Learning Management System is a software-based technology that is widely adopted by universities. While the implementation of LMS has been successful in developed countries, the utilisation of LMS in developing countries is still considered low. It is believed that there are some barriers that may influence the use of LMS which include Technical…

This study examines the relationships among intrinsic motivation, critical variables related to technology adoption, and students' behavioral intention in mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). To test the hypothesized model through a path analysis, 169 survey responses were collected from undergraduate students who were foreign language…

The rising cost of textbooks is influencing students' choice of courses, as well as the quality of their learning experience once they are enrolled in a course, according to recent studies. This paper builds on those studies by exploring the possible effects that textbook costs may be having on study behaviours of students at one New Zealand…

This study uses complexity theory to understand the causal patterns of factors that stimulate students' intention to continue studies in computer science (CS). To this end, it identifies gains and barriers as essential factors in CS education, including motivation and learning performance, and proposes a conceptual model along with research…

Researchers at Brigham Young University studied first-year students' information evaluation behaviours of open-access, popular news-based, non-academic source material on a variety of subjects. Using think-aloud protocols and screen-recording, researchers coded most and least used evaluation behaviours. Students most used an article's sources,…
