In classification learning of artificial stimuli, participants learn the perfectly diagnostic dimension better than the partially diagnostic dimensions. Also, there is a strong preference for a unidimensional categorization based on the perfectly diagnostic dimension. In a different experimental procedure, called array-based classification task,…

Selecting whose words to trust profoundly impacts children's learning behaviours. This study investigated Western and East Asian children's trust preferences for informants based on social dominance and its potential association with cultural factors. Sixty-six European American children in the United States (M = 5.44 years, SD = 0.80 years) and…

Our preferences and evaluations are often affected by contextual factors. One unavoidable context is language. We used an evaluative conditioning (EC) paradigm (pairing neutral stimuli with emotional or neutral stimuli) to investigate whether our evaluations are equally conditioned in a first (L1) and a second language (L2). An EC effect was…

Learners in the 21st century need technological support in the learning process because of the advancements made in technology for teaching and learning. A GeoGebra-oriented classroom uses one of these technologies that can be implemented in the classroom. The new developed cycle model implemented in the study and explored the effect of using…

Digital culture has penetrated most aspects of our lives. Yet it has also dragged us into paradoxical situations and profound uncertainty. This, in turn, requires digital learning process that is capable of fostering mature individuals characterized by specific creativity; the kind of creativity rooted in prudence, deep insight into life as well…

Much of the literature on research-oriented teaching relies on the impressions of instructors who have experimented with such practices. Often authors are enthusiastic. This article shifts the focus to assess student satisfaction with such methods. We hypothesize that a student preference for research-based learning in Political Science would grow…

Led by artificial intelligence (AI), digital technologies are acting as a lever for significant change in higher education. Innovative formats such as macrolearning, the concatenation of a significant number of microlearning units, are consequently emerging. The purpose of this paper is to explore students' preferences for macrolearning programmes…

Recent developments in technology have introduced new tools, such as virtual reality, into the learning process. Although virtual reality appears to be a promising technology for education and has been adopted by a few schools worldwide, we still do not know students' and educators' opinions, preferences, and challenges with it, particularly in…

This paper reports a mixed-method study on the factors shaping language learning through didactic audiovisual translation. The aim is to analyse the determinants influencing the effective implementation of an integrative project, revealing the strengths and weaknesses of the learning process. Data from 172 students were gathered through initial…

The current study investigates the use of alternative assessments in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes in Saudi Arabia. While alternative assessments have been recently recognized as a prospective approach to assessing EFL learning, little research has examined how language learners perceive this approach to assessment in an EFL context,…

This study aimed to explore factors influencing students' transition from primary to secondary schools, the discrepancy of primary and secondary enrollments. The study used cluster sampling for identifying schools from the district of Assaba. The study aimed to explore the issue from teachers' perspectives. Classical Liberal Theory was adopted as…

Research on recasts has gotten increasing attention from SLA researchers ever since 1990s. However, the studies on the effectiveness of recasts had inconsistent findings and are still debatable in what way recasts facilitate L2 learning. This study aims to examine the effects of recasts on English question production by adopting a pretest,…

The study aims to identify the students' perception of learning writing in the literature college. The method applied in the study was quantitative. The number of participants recruited purposively was 40 students. The findings indicated that, despite being considered necessary, most of the students perceived that writing belongs to the most…

Learning spaces in higher education are changing in crucial and myriad ways. It is important to know how learning spaces are associated with learning in order to provide students with the most appropriate spaces to learn. This study investigates the relationship between students' learning patterns and learning spaces in higher education through…

Aim/Purpose: This research explores the design and development of a gamified Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) aligned with the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) approach. The focus is addressing challenges to foster autonomous learning within the MOOC context. Background: MOOCs have emerged as a prominent platform for global education; however, they…
