Parulla, Cibele Duarte; Weissheimer, Anne Marie; Santos, Marlise Bock; Cogo, Ana Luísa Petersen – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2022
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have emerged as an affordable way to distribute knowledge and democratize education. The examination of online courses calls for theoretical models and instruments that contemplate its particularities. The community of inquiry (CoI) framework has been used in several studies to analyze the effectiveness of…

Borup, Jered; Shin, Joan Kang; Powell, Marvin; Evmenova, Anya S.; Kim, Woomee – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2022
Globally, online course enrollments have grown, and English is often used as a lingua franca for instruction. The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework can inform the creation of more supportive, interaction-rich online learning environments. However, the framework and its accompanying validated instrument were created in North America, limiting…

Ting Xiao; Sisi Yi; Shamim Akhter – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2024
The consideration of students' emotional and psychological health is crucial to facilitate effective teaching and grading practices. This study set out to shed light on the interplay between self-esteem (S-E), cognitive-emotion regulation (CER), academic enjoyment (AE), and language success (LS) in artificial intelligence (AI)-supported online…

Sen-Akbulut, Mutlu; Umutlu, Duygu; Arikan, Serkan – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2022
Since the mandatory switch to online education due to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, technology has gained more importance for online teaching and learning environments. The Community of Inquiry (CoI) is one of the validated frameworks widely used to examine online learning. In this paper, we offer an extension to the CoI framework and survey,…

Mirmoghtadaie, Zohresadat; Keshavarz, Mohsen; Mohammadimehr, Mojgan; Rasouli, Davood – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
In peer observation of teaching, an experienced colleague in the educational environment of a faculty member observes the educational performance of that faculty member and provides appropriate feedback. The use of peer review as an alternative source of evidence of teaching effectiveness is increasing. However, no research has been done in the…

Yang, Hongwei; Su, Jian – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2021
The study revisited the community of inquiry (CoI) instrument for construct revalidation. To that end, the study used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine four competing models (unidimensional, correlated-factor, second-order factor, and bifactor models) on model fit statistics computed using parameter estimates from a statistical…

Polat, Elif; Hopcan, Sinan; Yahs, Ömer – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2022
Readiness is important for the success of the e-learning process. The purpose of this study was twofold: to develop a scale to measure K-12 teachers' e-learning readiness, and to examine their readiness to teach online. The participants were 3,295 K-12 teachers working in Izmir, Turkey. First EFA, then CFA-SEM was performed. Additionally,…

Hew, Khe Foon; Qiao, Chen; Tang, Ying – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2018
Although massive open online courses (MOOCs) have attracted much worldwide attention, scholars still understand little about the specific elements that students find engaging in these large open courses. This study offers a new original contribution by using a machine learning classifier to analyze 24,612 reflective sentences posted by 5,884…

Kocdar, Serpil; Karadeniz, Abdulkadir; Bozkurt, Aras; Buyuk, Koksal – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2018
Previous studies have described many scales for measuring self-regulation; however, no scale has been developed specifically for self-paced open and distance learning environments. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a scale for determining the self-regulated learning skills of distance learners in selfpaced open and distance learning…
