The participants in this study were graduate-level engineering students (N = 387) from a research university in People's Republic of China. "Rain…

The motivation to engage in a task is directly related to its perceived value according to Deci & Ryan (1985). Increasing motivation can lead to a higher enhanced learning achievement for the student. The question is if using digital technologies in inquiry-based learning lessons influences the learners' situationally perceived value of the…

There has been a rapid growth of massive open online courses (MOOCs) in the global education market in the last decade. Online learning technologies are becoming increasingly widespread in the non-formal education sector and in higher and supplementary vocational education. The use of MOOCs in Russia to support the delivery of educational…

The aim of this study is to design and implement a digital interactive globe system (DIGS), by integrating low-cost equipment to make DIGS cost-effective. DIGS includes a data processing unit, a wireless control unit, an image-capturing unit, a laser emission unit, and a three-dimensional hemispheric body-imaging screen. A quasi-experimental study…

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of visual element and technology supported teaching upon perceived instructor behaviors by pre-service teachers. In accordance with this purpose, whereas the lessons were lectured without benefiting from visual elements and technology in a traditional way with the students included in the…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using the interactive whiteboard in mathematics teaching process on the 7th-grade students' achievement. This study was conducted as experimental design. Experimental and control groups were composed of 58 7th-grade students from one school in the 2015-2016 educational year in Ankara. As a…

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of instructing quadratic functions with the use of GeoGebra software and guided discovery worksheets on students' achievement and level of reaching acquisitions. This study utilized a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. It was conducted in the 2017-2018 academic year with 62…

The research aimed to produce an Android-based learning media with local cultural content in the form of the othok-othok toy ship to improve the competence of diagrammatic and argumentative representation in Physics. 4D methods were used with a control and an experimental class in the first grade of a Senior High School. The learning media…

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether integrating online audiovisual materials into the listening instruction of L2 French learners would have a measurable impact on their listening comprehension development. Students from two intact sections of second-semester French were tested on their listening comprehension before and…

This study investigates the impact of McGraw-Hill's "Connect™ LearnSmartAchieve" ("LSA") on student writing outcomes at a regional AACSB-accredited business school. The authors analyzed a total of 172 student writing samples before and after the introduction of selected "LSA" modules in six junior-level business…

Mathematical skills have been recognised as a core competence for engineering and science students. However, learning mathematics has been recognised as a difficult and challenging task for most students, in particular, calculus for first-year students in university. Consequently, the development of effective learning strategies and environments…

This paper investigated students' achievement for learning American Sign Language (ASL), using two different methods. There were two groups of samples. The first experimental group (Group A) was the game-based learning for ASL, using Kinect. The second control learning group (Group B) was the traditional face-to-face learning method, generally…

Purpose: This research paper explores the effect of using Twitter activities to support a blended learning course (75% in-class and 25% Twitter activities) on the achievement and attitudes of female students compared to 100% in-class learning. Design/methodology/approach: In the 2016 academic year, the researcher compared an experimental group (34…

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using flipped classrooms in teaching the Math2 course for the preparatory year's students at the University of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The Math2 course was organized via an (ADDE) design model, with recorded videos of the topics included in the study; it was implemented by a Moodle platform and…

The contribution of algebra to a shared understanding of the world and the society is vital to the development of science, technology and engineering. Thus, the teaching of algebra in schools must be maximised. This study examined the effects of blended learning (BL) and problem-based learning (PBL) instructional strategies on senior secondary…
