In this study, we investigated the relationship between perceived learner control and student engagement in a blended course. Data were collected from 110 s-year bachelor students through weekly questionnaires to gather information about how they perceived their learner control and engagement in various study activities, including reading…

Visual storytelling, particularly through dance choreographies as showcased in previous AlgoRythmics performances, has been effective in communicating relatively straightforward algorithms in an engaging and memorable way. Nevertheless, when addressing complex algorithmic concepts, an approach with greater expressiveness and flexibility becomes…

Despite growing interest in the inclusion of virtual reality (VR) in medical education, its full potential for immersive and interactive training remains underutilized, particularly in dermatology. As part of a multidisciplinary project, we tested the feasibility of integrating a VR training scenario for a complete skin cancer screening into the…

Despite continued research into the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, the best way to measure each presence of the framework, and in particular social presence, has not been effectively settled in prior research. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of the social presence items in the CoI framework and its subscales, as well…

The ability to define, evaluate, and implement software architectures is a fundamental skill for software engineers. However, teaching software architecture can be challenging as it requires students to be involved in real-context projects with high degrees of complexity. This involves making trade-off decisions among several quality attributes.…

In recent years, "sustainability education" in Higher Education has become an increasingly popular topic among researchers driven by the constant calls for the research community to contribute novel research that can aid in building a sustainable world. The objective of this paper was to explore how sustainability concepts have been…

The principle of traditional education has transformed fundamentally within the last few years. The growth of new computer and communication technologies has provided learners with access to a variety of quality online education. Many educational institutions have shifted partially or completely to distance learning and online lectures as their…

This study examined the effect of mobile-mediated dynamic assessment on reading comprehension and reading fluency skills of Iranian L2 learners. With 50 Iranian L2 learners, randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups, a pretest-posttest control group design was used. Whereas the control group received traditional instructor…

With the advent of technology and digitization, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its tools for the imperative dissemination of information to learners are gaining more ground. During the process of the conveyance of lectures, it is mostly observed that students (learners) are supposed to take notes (minutes) of the…

Pre-recorded lectures have become a prevalent approach in online education due to the proliferation of MOOC platforms and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to the lack of real-time interactions between instructors and learners, learners have encountered various difficulties in understanding the lectures and actively engaging with the learning…

This study aims to examine the lesson plan development processes and related experiences of prospective teachers, and determine the potential effects their lesson plan development efforts on their perceived TPACK. The research was conducted as part of a 14-week Mathematics Teaching course. During the course, prospective teachers underwent a…

Integrating machine learning (ML) methods in educational research has the potential to greatly impact upon research, teaching, learning and assessment by enabling personalised learning, adaptive assessment and providing insights into student performance, progress and learning patterns. To reveal more about this notion, we investigated ML…

This study aims to determine the misconceptions of teacher candidates about the greenhouse effect concept by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm instead of human experts. The Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD) process model was preferred in the study where the Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate (ADDIE) instructional design…

Developing immersive learning systems is challenging due to their multidisciplinary nature, involving game design, pedagogical modelling, computer science, and the application domain. The diversity of technologies, practices, and interventions makes it hard to explore solutions systematically. A new methodology called Multimodal Immersive Learning…

This study purposes to investigate the impacts of "theoretical" and "practical" courses on cyber entrepreneurial intention and its leading variables based on TAM/TPB integrated model. Targeted sampling technology is used to compare multiple groups of students who had taken cyber entrepreneurship courses or not, which used…
