This study aims to design and develop a framework for designing a metacognitive-supported augmented reality application for teaching and learning basic pneumatic systems. This multi-method study with the fuzzy delphi method (FDM) and interpretive structural modelling (ISM) approach involved 12 experts in multidisciplinary fields. The data was…

Nowadays, in the higher education sector, the quality measurement process of education-related services is assuming a crucial role to support focused and targeted improvement activities deeply centered on students' needs/necessities. These are considered crucial factors for dealing with the current academic competitive context. Therefore, the…

The study investigates the underlying motives facilitating users' continuance intention for digital content in academic settings. Extending the expectation confirmation model of IS continuance (ECM-ISC), the study proposes a conceptual model by incorporating personal and technological antecedents of users' continuance intention for digital…

This paper presents the results of a study on the integration of modelling and simulation tools in mechanical design. Indeed, optimisation of the design process often uses modelling and simulation tools in mechanical design activities. Thus, to meet the needs of the labour market, training situations in this field use communication and information…

Sustainable lecturer performance mapping needed a valid evaluation model. The absence of such a model brings about lecturer performance evaluation which was neither systematic nor sustainable. The study aimed to develop a valid and reliable model of lecturer performance evaluation. This research was a development research model. The model…

The second objective of the '2nd Survey of Schools: ICT in Education' designs a conceptual model for a 'highly equipped and connected classroom' (HECC), defines three scenarios of a HECC and estimates the costs to equip and connect an average EU classroom with advanced components of the HECC model. The entry level scenario outlines the minimum and…

The main objective of the study was to investigate the potential mediating effect of relevance in the relationship between attention and confidence in Keller's ARCS model during screencasts in distance education. The paper responds to calls for further research into the ARCS model in different delivery systems, cultural settings, and learner…

The increasing use of information technology in the discovery of new molecular entities encourages the use of modern molecular-modeling tools to help teach important concepts of drug design to chemistry and pharmacy undergraduate students. In particular, statistical models such as quantitative structure--activity relationships (QSAR)--often as its…

In this study we show the models that students of administration and accounting careers built when performing an activity close to the real life, with the use of Excel. The representations and ideas exhibited by the students when they used the software are analyzed. The methodology was qualitative. The theoretical framework was the Models and…

The problem motivating this research is the rapid introduction of educational technologies and the strong push to use new technologies in technical and vocational training in China coupled with varied responses and uneven adoption of new tools on the part of practitioners. This study investigated the factors that influence technical and vocational…

This study suggests a design model for developing virtual reality (VR)-based learning environments which can be used for basic behavioral skills training. VR-Based Fire Safety Training Environment (VR-FST) was designed considering the principles of the persuasive technology. Following the suggested model, VR-FST was setup by integrating…

Software developers nowadays are adopting agile methods to overcome challenges faced by traditional methods in developing software. However, agile methods lack instructional design to take care of learning needs required in designing software for supporting teaching and learning. This study aimed at designing an integrated model using Feature…

Technological innovation in science provides complementary tools for exploring new teaching strategies within a pedagogical framework that promotes interaction between the teacher and the learner. This work is based on the implementation of a computer application modeling crystallographic material structures, in order to identify and study the…

Although education policies in many African countries refer to the need for distance education to widen participation in universities, they have not articulated guidelines on how they plan to develop systems and structures that will support it. The purpose of this study was to develop a policy framework specific for distance education provision in…

This study aims to analyze the correlation (N=621) among tertiary students' career planning, e-recruiting adoption acceptance, and employability awareness in Taiwan. Tertiary students' perceived career planning includes four factors, namely, self-appraisal, job expectancy, goal selection, and problem solving. E-recruiting adoption acceptance…
