Aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) research is of both theoretical and practical interest to second language (L2) learning, since it provides insights into the processes linking learner-internal individual difference factors and learner-external contextual variables including instructional approach--variables that jointly determine L2 outcomes.…

This study examines the impact of a situated learning class framework on student learning and sense of belonging in a first-year introductory computer programming course offered at an urban commuter campus. The framework provided students opportunities to engage in hands-on activities embedded in authentic contexts facilitated or led by students…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of employing digital learning stations in teaching social studies on the development of visual thinking and self-learning skills among seventh-grade students. Materials/methods: A quasi-experimental design was used, involving a sample of 57 seventh-grade female students from Um Kulthum…

This study investigates how engagement (E), foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and ambiguity tolerance (AT) exert mediation/moderation in metaverse-based foreign language learning (FLL). Featuring augment/simulation-based experiences and self-fulfillment/external-control-oriented mechanics, metaverse provides virtualized interactive circumstances…

Traditional approaches to intelligence often neglect the diverse cognitive profiles of learners, potentially limiting the inclusivity and effectiveness of educational practices. This review article examines the application of Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) within the context of biology education, with a particular focus on…

The present study scrutinized Iranian EFL learners' mode of learning (distance vs. conventional) as a probable source of bias in employing cognitive and metacognitive reading comprehension strategies. To this end, a total of 514 Iranian distance and conventional EFL learners were asked to take a 30-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test…

This article presents the results of an experiment in personalizing course content and learning activity model tailored for online courses based on students' learning styles. The main research objectives are to design and pilot a model to determine students' learning styles to create personalized online courses. The study also addressed an…

e-Learning was abruptly adopted in many countries to mitigate the adverse consequences of the sudden closure of institutions of higher learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Against this background, this study investigated how business undergraduates want to learn in the future and predictors of their future preferred mode of learning. 251…

This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of traditional lectures versus active lectures in introductory college biology classes composed of science and non-science majors, a topic of significant importance in the field of education. In a traditional lecture, the researcher used PowerPoint to present class content while answering direct…

The authors encourage primary educators to reevaluate learning styles and related literature, explore how the mind works in children's learning, and consider the multimodal learning approach in their classroom practices.

The present quasi-experimental study investigated which component of processing instruction (PI) is responsible for its beneficial effects and whether EFL learners with different learning styles similarly benefit from PI components. In doing so, a sample of 67 first-year students took part in a study with a non-equivalent control group…

This study aims to understand the patterns of conduct, forms of action, role construction, role performance and institutional nexus of behavior that characterize the social role of academics and students in undergraduate Accounting courses through the adoption of active methods for education. A qualitative, multiple case study was developed…

The persistence of learning styles as a concept in educational discourse and research is paradoxical, given the overwhelming evidence discrediting the matching hypothesis, the notion that aligning teaching methods with students' preferred learning styles enhances achievement. This paper examines the resurgence of learning styles across…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how third through fifth-grade elementary school teachers within the southeastern United States describe using specific learning style strategies and students' classroom preferences during instruction. Grasha's Teaching Style Theory, Kolb's Learning Styles and Experiential Learning…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the various models concerned with identifying learning styles and cognitive traits of students as a means to adapt teaching methods. With attention to the applicability of the models to on-line teaching strategies and requirements. Design/Method/Approach: The approach adopted in this paper is one of…
