Chin-Hsi Lin; Keyi Zhou; Shiyun Yang; Zhong Sun – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Mobile technology is one of the most important approaches to facilitating vocabulary learning. However, despite an increasing use of mobile devices for this purpose, there is currently no dedicated evaluation framework to examine whether the vocabulary-learning applications on the market are well designed. Building on prior research from the…

Viberg, Olga; Kukulska-Hulme, Agnes; Peeters, Ward – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2023
Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) research includes examination and development of second language learners' cognitive and metacognitive self-regulated learning skills, but the affective learning component of self-regulation in this context remains largely unexplored. Support for affective learning, which is defined by learners' beliefs,…

Park, Yun Claire – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2022
The discrepancy between students' understanding of domain knowledge and their actual competencies to use tacit knowledge for a given task has been an issue to consider when instruction is designed, implemented, and revised. In this study, the researcher examines teaching and learning processes in which a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) design model…

van Halema, Nicolette; van Klaveren, Chris; Drachsler, Hendrik; Schmitz, Marcel; Cornelisz, Ilja – Frontline Learning Research, 2020
For decades, self-report instruments -- which rely heavily on students' perceptions and beliefs -- have been the dominant way of measuring motivation and strategy use. Event-based measures based on online trace data arguably has the potential to remove analytical restrictions of self-report measures. The purpose of this study is therefore to…

Banire, Bilikis; Jomhari, Nazean; Ahmad, Rodina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
The effect of education on children with autism serves as a relative cure for their deficits. As a result of this, they require special techniques to gain their attention and interest in learning as compared to typical children. Several studies have shown that these children are visual learners. In this study, we proposed a Visual Hybrid…

Wu, Po-Han; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Milrad, Marcelo; Ke, Hui-Ru; Huang, Yueh-Min – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
Concept maps have been widely employed for helping students organise their knowledge as well as evaluating their knowledge structures in a wide range of subject matters. Although researchers have recognised concept maps as being an important educational tool, past experiences have also revealed the difficulty of evaluating the correctness of a…

Malcolm, Peter – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The ability and to make good estimates is essential, as is the ability to assess the reasonableness of estimates. These abilities are becoming increasingly important as digital technologies transform the ways in which people work. To estimate is to provide an approximation to a problem that is mathematical in nature, and the ability to estimate is…

Kim, Inseok – International Journal of Pedagogies and Learning, 2014
Many EFL learners seem to believe that they can come to grips with the problem of vocabulary learning with a 'hit-or-miss' approach. However, a growing number of recent research reports indicate that they need to learn a repertoire of vocabulary in a systematic way for effective communication. This paper explores the development and evaluation of…

Bouyias, Yannis; Demetriadis, Stavros – Computers & Education, 2012
Research on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has strongly emphasized the value of providing student support with micro-scripts, which should withdraw (fade-out) allowing students to practice the acquired skills. However, research on fading shows conflicting results and some researchers suggest that the impact of fading is enhanced…

Manches, Andrew; O'Malley, Claire; Benford, Steve – Computers & Education, 2010
This research aims to explore the role of physical representations in young children's numerical learning then identify the benefits of using a graphical interface in order to understand the potential for developing interactive technologies in this domain. Three studies are reported that examined the effect of using physical representations…

Tseng, J. C. R.; Chu, H. C.; Hwang, G. J.; Tsai, C. C. – Computers & Education, 2008
Previous research of adaptive learning mainly focused on improving student learning achievements based only on single-source of personalization information, such as learning style, cognitive style or learning achievement. In this paper, an innovative adaptive learning approach is proposed by basing upon two main sources of personalization…

Bonestroo, Wilco J.; de Jong, Ton – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
Self-regulated learners are expected to plan their own learning. Because planning is a complex task, it is not self-evident that all learners can perform this task successfully. In this study, we examined the effects of two planning support tools on the quality of created plans, planning behavior, task load, and acquired knowledge. Sixty-five…

Liu, Jun; Sha, Sha; Zheng, Qinghua; Zhang, Wei – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2012
Assigning difficulty level indicators to the knowledge units helps the learners plan their learning activities more efficiently. This paper focuses on how to use the topology of a knowledge map to compute and rank the difficulty levels of knowledge units. Firstly, the authors present the hierarchical structure and properties of the knowledge map.…

Chen, Hong-Ren – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2012
Recognition of students' facial expressions can be used to understand their level of attention. In a traditional classroom setting, teachers guide the classes and continuously monitor and engage the students to evaluate their understanding and progress. Given the current popularity of e-learning environments, it has become important to assess the…
