International Collaborative Online Learning (COIL) is a term that describes virtual mobility experiences that are integrated into the formal curriculum to give students the chance to interact with peers at international universities in specific learning activities, while also developing intercultural, professional, and digital skills. The…

With the development of mobile Internet and digital technologies, online education platforms transcend time and space constraints to provide ubiquitous learning environments. However, high dropout rates and low pass rates pose a great challenge. Predicting student performance enables early identification of academic failure tendencies,…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the mediating role of the motivation for learning in knowledge acquisition and knowledge transfer in students of higher education programs in business and management. Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative correlational design. Data was collected from a sample of 366 students studying and working in the…

Achieving deep learning in smart classrooms is an important issue in smart education. Research suggests that deep learning requires special scaffolding to support students' learning flexibility according to their own needs. In this regard, this study proposes a smart-classroom-oriented learning scaffolding that can reflect flexibility in learning…

Blended learning, integrating online and in-person components, has been increasingly adopted in higher education to enhance students' learning experience and outcomes. While the advantages of blended learning are well-evidenced, research has primarily focused on the online pre-learning component, neglecting the significance of in-class activities.…

This article describes how intentional planning using the principles of Fink's (2013) taxonomy for significant learning and Garrison's (2007) three presences, a traditional face-to-face course can be converted into a strong online course using the best practices of the flipped classroom model that facilitated better student outcomes. The suggested…

Within the research on bilingual learning, first studies have revealed that content learned in one language is retrieved more slowly when participants have to switch language from instruction to testing (i.e., language-switching costs, LSC). These costs are attributed to language-dependent knowledge representations. However, the cognitive…

This article explores the underutilized potential of incorporating gamified approaches into anatomy outreach initiatives. While gamification and game-based learning approaches have been widely adopted in formal educational settings, there is a surprising lack of research on their application for community-based public engagement with anatomy. We…

The goals of this bibliometric review of the Review of Educational Research were to gain insights into the evolution of the journal and identify its key contributions to the education literature. Bibliographic data associated with the full set of 3,022 review articles published in RER from 1931 through 2021 were exported from Scopus for…

Distance learning and online learning have become the new educational paradigm. Based on synchronicity, online learning environments can be classified into synchronous and asynchronous online learning. However, previous evidence demonstrating the effects of these two online learning modalities on students' academic achievement has been…

This article explores the multifaceted role played by interaction, cognitive, and environmental factors on various online learning outcomes in the context of Albania, a European transition country. More specifically, it scrutinises the differentiated impact of interaction (with content, peers and instructor), ease of use, attitudes, technical, and…

In scientific literacy, knowledge integration (KI) is a scaffolding-based theory to assist students' scientific inquiry learning. To drive students to be self-directed, many courses have been developed based on KI framework. However, few efforts have been made to evaluate the outcome of students' learning under KI instruction. Moreover,…

This study examined preservice teachers' (PSTs) epistemic beliefs and the ways these might influence their conceptions of teaching and learning. Participants were Nigerian social studies PSTs. Employing a survey design and free-text content analysis, the findings identified four epistemic beliefs and six conceptions of teaching and learning among…

Background: Pre-class reading assignments are frequently used to encourage students to complete assigned textbook readings. Quizzes and social annotation are both pre-class reading assignments, but it is uncertain which is more effective for student learning and motivation. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare quizzes and social…

Background: Benefited from advances in technology, virtual reality (VR) has been widely applied to learning content in operational training as well as hands-on courses. However, most current studies tend to evaluate learning effectiveness in this application, and few were focused on how learners can be benefited from transferring the knowledge…
