Students spend much time in doing their physics homework. Whether this effort results in deep learning depends on the quality of the mere homework. Therefore, we designed a minds-on simulation-based approach to physics homework and conducted a pretest-posttest quasi-experiment to compare its effectiveness to the effectiveness of traditional…

This research examined parents' involvement in children's math homework and activities. During 2017 to 2019, American parents (N = 483; 80% mothers; 67% white) of young elementary school children (M[subscript age] = 7.47 years; 50% girls) reported on their math helping self-efficacy; they also reported on their involvement in children's math…

Pedagogical methods for graduate-level statistics courses have rarely focused on the pursuit of conditional knowledge or the ability to choose which concepts/procedures are relevant given a specific research situation. However, utilization of an innovative approach called decision-based learning (DBL) not only provides students with the…

The recent pandemic necessitated a migration to online instruction leading to concerns regarding the integrity of online assessments as a result of the presence of fee-based websites that disseminate answers to students. We validated this concern by evaluating student performance on an online quiz where some of the questions had easily searchable…

Students face several challenges when learning through traditional teaching settings. They need to accumulate huge amounts of factual knowledge from the courses, and to keep up-to-date with the prolific growth in health knowledge. Lack of awareness about digital technologies and non-exposure to digital-friendly environments have made learning even…

The previous expansion of EdTech as a substitute for traditional learning around the world, the recent full-scale substitution due to COVID-19, and potential future shifts to blended approaches suggest that it is imperative to understand input substitutability between in-person and online learning. We explore input substitutability in education by…

Participation in daily activities is often linked to functional independence and well-being, yet individual variability in participation and factors associated with that variation have rarely been examined among autistic youth. We applied latent profile analysis to identify subgroups of youth based on parent-reported activity participation…

This study aims to analyze the relationships between online homework and students' prior success, self-efficacy beliefs, perceived responsibility, motivation and academic success. In School of Foreign Languages at the University of Gaziantep, which is a Turkish public university, an online homework application has been used as a part of the…

Caregivers (i.e., parents and members of a child's caring community) are underappreciated stakeholders in learning analytics. Although caregiver involvement can enhance student academic outcomes, many obstacles hinder involvement, most notably knowledge gaps with respect to modern school curricula. An emerging topic of interest in learning…

The digital age has fundamentally altered the distribution of work and responsibilities in schools. Parents, as important stakeholders in schooling, are taking on more digital labour and facing changing roles. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, parents' digital labour often remained overlooked as they were not able to observe or participate in the…

Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) can help students learn successfully, yet little work has explored the role of caregivers in shaping that success. Past interventions to support caregivers in supporting their child's homework have been largely disjunct from educational technology. The paper presents prototyping design research with nine middle…

Gateway science courses are an ongoing obstacle to recruitment into STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Students come into courses that have a high cognitive load, which makes success in the course challenging. Instructional design can be used to reduce cognitive load. The findings demonstrate that leveraging pre- and…

The current investigation examined multilevel models aimed at predicting two dimensions of homework emotion regulation: emotion management and cognitive reappraisal. Our models integrated key components from self-determination, expectancy-value, achievement goal, learning approaches, and self-regulatory or volitional perspectives. The…

Homework as an essential component of the academic process supports teaching and learning by consolidating what the students learn in class and promoting their study skills and self-paced work capacities. While homework characteristics and its efficacy are reported to be interrelated, there is a lacuna in the research on the effectiveness of…

Background: The present study delves into the debate surrounding the effectiveness of homework, focusing specifically on the use of online homework in teaching decimal numbers to 5th and 6th grade primary school students. It highlights the challenges students face in representing and identifying decimal numbers, a concept that is often difficult…
