The study is based on data from 100 studies involving 144 unique samples and 51,905 participants, and it addresses the inter-relationships of L2MSS elements (i.e., the Ideal L2…

The purpose of this convergent mixed methods study was to examine environmental worldviews and to explore influencing factors, such as the relationship between affective disposition toward learning experiences and environmental worldviews, for students at a public four-year university. A convergent mixed methods design provided qualitative and…

Background: Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, can have lasting impacts on a community Purpose: This research evaluated how participation in an STEM education intervention after an ecological disaster affected students' persistence, resilience, and STEM identity Sample: Hurricane Florence impacted college students (N = 50) were recruited…

This study explored students' perceptions of a flipped classroom for an introductory programming class. Students were required to watch video lectures and read lecture notes in advance (pre-class self-study) to prepare themselves for the in-class lectures and tutorials. A mix-methods approach was employed: quantitative survey (n=204) and…

"Pear Deck" is one interactive response system that has gained popularity in recent years. This study addressed the gap in the literature and considered students' experience of the platform in a Thai university context.
