This study aims to test the structural models of several integrated motivational constructs empirically. The motivational construct refers to three theoretical models: Attention-Relevance-Confidence-Satisfaction (ARCS), McClelland's needs, and Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Data were collected from lecturers and students as respondents at two…

Purpose: Overall quantitative research aims to observe certain fundamental principles of logic and scientific frame of reasoning. There continues to be challenges on how quantitative research is conducted in the field of information systems. Design/methodology/approach: Structured equation modelling (SEM) research identifies concerns about the…

Competent instructors need to have the skills, abilities, and competencies to perform tasks effectively, which will affect student learning achievement. This study is guided by the theory of Boyatzis developed by Spencer and Spencer. The Iceberg Competency Model was used as a guideline to identify the competency elements of educators from the…

The research sought to assess mathematics teachers' acceptance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration into teaching and learning at the secondary schools. This study was a cross-sectional survey that gathered data with structured questionnaire. The population was mathematics (core and elective) teachers of secondary schools…

Online collaborative learning (OCL) has received significant attention, but the ultimate goal of adopting OCL is neglected, especially in higher education context. To bridge the research gap, the present study applied OCL theory integrating with cognitive development to evaluate the effectiveness of student learning performance through OCL. To our…

It is indeed a fact that diversity helps to build a better economy, and diverse businesses are proven to be healthier and more successful, but the lack of diversity in the workforce and educational environment, shows that the pipeline is not moving Latinx people enough. Latinx community is the largest minoritized community in the United States,…

Structural equation modeling (SEM) and path analysis using composite-scores are distinct classes of methods for modeling the relationship of theoretical constructs. The two classes of methods are integrated in the partial-least-squares approach to structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), which systematically generates weighted composites and uses…

Factor mixture modeling (FMM) is generally complex with both unobserved categorical and unobserved continuous variables. We explore the potential of item parceling to reduce the model complexity of FMM and improve convergence and class enumeration accordingly. To this end, we conduct Monte Carlo simulations with three types of data, continuous,…

"Global Engineering Education Accreditation" (GEEA) is an internationally accepted quality assurance system for engineering education in universities, and technology competitions for college students are also considered important approaches to achieve the educational objectives and meet graduation requirements of GEEA in practice…

Two meta-analyses assessed whether the relations between reading and mathematics outcomes could be explained through overlapping skills (e.g., systems for word and fact retrieval) or domain-general influences (e.g., top-down attentional control). The first (378 studies, 1,282,796 participants) included weighted random-effects meta-regression…

This work has investigated the relationship between SM use and its four antecedents, i.e., perceived interactivity, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment. Moreover, it has also examined the association of SM use with its outcome variables, i.e., active learning, creativity and collaborative learning, leading to…

In the literature, there are a great number of primary studies that examine the relationship between professional burnout, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction of education workers and that do not have consistent results. The aim of this study is to establish a model that will explain the life satisfaction of education workers by determining…

This research focuses on better understanding the nature of pre-service teachers' four-frame leadership orientations. As it is known, the phenomenon of leadership still continues to be a research topic in the field of educational administration. But, these studies carried out on teachers and school administrators. As future teachers and school…

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationships among life satisfaction, meaning in life and basic psychological need satisfaction. Participants were 384 college students. Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs Scale, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale and demographic information form were utilised…

This study investigates the relationship between undergraduates' technological readiness, self-efficacy, attitude, and usage of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The study leverages the technology acceptance model (TAM) to explore the relationships among the study's variables. The study's participants are 176 undergraduate students from a public…
