Personalized problem selection enhances student practice in tutoring systems. Prior research has focused on transparent problem selection that supports learner control but rarely engages learners in selecting practice materials. We explored how different levels of control (i.e., full AI control, shared control, and full learner control), combined…

The lack of parental involvement and poor self-regulation among learners have been identified as significant factors affecting the ongoing high rates of failure and dropout in schools situated in the lower socioeconomic strata. In South Africa, the extent and quality of parental involvement vary widely across different school quintiles and are…

Economics has become increasingly empirical and, alongside this shift, has come more demand for improved transparency and reproducibility in empirical economic research. In this article, we distribute a survey to almost 1500 economics faculty from the top 161 liberal arts colleges with an economics major (according to U.S. News & World Report)…

Playing musical instruments involves a high level of skill based on the harmonious and esthetic reproduction of notes. The main aim of this study is to determine the impact of MusicFlow, an interactive music composition system, on the development of students' piano skills. The article also used a survey to determine the potential of using digital…

Effective organizational skills (e.g., time management, materials management, and task planning) are associated with academic success, yet some children struggle to gain these skills without intervention. While evidence-based organizational skills interventions for pediatric clinical populations exist, none target organizationally impaired general…

One of the core tensions in open educational practice in current mathematics and physical science coursework is the use of online homework systems. Many such tools are from commercial providers and have profit to that provider as a motive. Open resources are pursued by those who, for reasons of cost or of pedagogy, seek to resist the tools of…

GitHub is increasingly finding a role in academia to both encourage reproducible computational research and to foster a collaborative environment. We show that employing GitHub as an implementation of version control in engineering-related fields reinforces the 'design-build-evaluate' way of thinking and prepares students with skills they can use…

The study examines the impact of flipped classrooms (FC) in enhancing postgraduate students' research skills in preparing a research proposal (RP). Postgraduate students in the College of Education at King Saud University were enrolled in a special course called 'Independent Study' that specialises in helping students prepare an RP. A class of…

Past work has shown that generating explanations can improve both comprehension and metacomprehension outcomes. Although practice testing may sometimes improve comprehension, it is unclear if it affects metacomprehension (the ability to monitor one's understanding). The current study tested whether online homework activities involving practice…

Students from a Chinese background demonstrate outstanding performance in international mathematics assessments. Besides cultural characteristics, innate mathematics ability is often referred to as the reason for their performance. This paper aims to debunk this assumption of innate ability and provide an alternate perspective to the discussion by…

This research, conducted in 2017, examines the amount of time students spend on building their skills and employability in pre-16 and post-16 education. It covers: (1) qualification hours; (2) non qualification hours; (3) homework and self-study; (4) activities outside of education; and (5) a typical week. Qualification hours are defined as the…

Metacognitive intervention of listening has prevailed in L2 (second language) listening research in the past decade. However, rare research has linked metacognitive intervention with online listening. This study examines L2 learners' development of metacognitive awareness of listening through online metacognitive listening practice. A set of…

Problem solving is one of the basic skills needed by individuals today. An individual who has attained problem-solving skills can both overcome difficulties in daily life and be successful in professional business life. In this respect, problem solving is considered as a skill that children should attain from an early age. Many variables are…

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a flipped classroom model on students? knowledge, skills, and physical activity in a collegiate physical activity course. While there are many studies exploring the impact of the flipped classroom in various fields of study, a dearth of studies has examined the impact of this new pedagogy in a…

Research indicates that although students with disabilities, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), can be successful in acquiring motor and sport-related skills during physical education, they tend to struggle with generalizing those skills to other settings. Difficulties with generalization of physical education skills may…
