Traditional methods of evaluation are limited in their ability to answer key questions often of interest to process evaluators, such as heterogeneity in the ways individuals adopt new programs. In this article, we demonstrate how a statistical approach, Latent Class Analysis, can help improve the quality of process evaluations and illustrate its…

To sustain students' continuous learning in a COVID-19 pandemic context, schools and universities have shifted traditional classroom teaching to synchronous online teaching.

Seven school resources variables previously demonstrated influential to school or subgroup achievement at interschool level were tested for…

Although the "digital natives" theory is still used to justify the implementation of technologies such as video games in the language classroom, whether digital nativeness (i.e. the extent to which an individual embodies the characteristics attributed to digital natives) may be used as a predictor of digital game-based learning outcomes…

Traditional educational patterns are giving way to more innovative modes and methods of learning, primarily due to radical technological changes that have increased the availability of information and improved communication.

It has…
