As AI continues to transform educational practices, understanding its potential benefits, limitations, and ethical implications is critical. This study explores future educators' perceptions of generative ?? in higher education. Through a mixed-methods approach, this research gathered insights from undergraduate and master's level students on…

The current study measures the extent to which students' self-regulated learning tactics and learning outcomes change as the result of a deliberate, data-driven improvement in the learning design of mastery-based online learning modules. In the original design, students were required to attempt the assessment once before being allowed to access…

In this technological era of the Internet becoming the backbone for achieving educational success, the development of social media is an asset for the academic development of students in tertiary institutions. The logit model was used to determine the dynamics of social media on the academic performance of students in private tertiary institutions…

This study explores Saudi undergraduate students' perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in academic writing. Despite extensive research on AI in higher education, there is limited focus on academic writing, especially in the Saudi context. A survey of 189 students, proficient in English and enrolled in freshmen academic writing…

Background: Recent evidence suggests PechaKucha--a presentation style utilizing simplified visuals, narration, and rigid time constraints--may promote various learning outcomes and instructor goals better than traditional PowerPoint presentations. Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of students' PechaKucha compared…

With the current debate on the effect of WhatsApp on academic performance, there is little rigorous econometric research backing each side of the argument. Applying a seemingly unrelated regression model to a primary data, it was found that the use of WhatsApp has a positive effect on the academic performance of students so long as the dominant…

Although artificial Intelligence (AI) is prevalent and impacts facets of daily life, there is limited research on responsible and humanistic design, implementation, and evaluation of AI, especially in the field of education. Afterall, learning is inherently a social endeavor involving human interactions, rendering the need for AI designs to be…

In psychology departments in South Africa, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) is routinely used for quantitative analysis. While SPSS has a user-friendly interface, it does not permit application of some of the more sophisticated analytic approaches and therefore has limited functionality. The programming language R can perform…

GeoGebra mathematical software is the best alternative way of teaching and learning calculus in the 21st century by exploration and visualization. This software opposes the traditional teaching and learning method, or solution only approaches and make the teaching and learning process more active in the classroom which goes with the constructive…

This paper was developed within the scope of a PhD thesis that intends to characterize the use of mobile applications by the students of the University of Aveiro during class time. The main purpose of this paper is to present the results of an initial pilot study that aimed to fine-tune data collection methods in order to gather data that…

This paper shows how a gamified agile process for distributed teamwork can be used for teaching purposes. It reflects the learnings from using a time-constrained work environment -- the epic bedtime story game -- at a university course. Within three course hours, 42 students in an undergraduate course on Informatics and Society collaboratively…

Research has demonstrated that learning is impaired if students multitask with media while encountering new information. However, some have gone further and suggested that media-multitasking (as a general activity) may have a negative impact on cognitive control processes. If this were the case, students who are heavy media-multitaskers generally…

This research study is a technology-enhanced flipped learning pilot to observe the students' engagement and learning in a self-regulated class through their individual feedback. Flipped learning was applied to a segment of the Study Skills course for more than two weeks to 129 students in the foundation year of a Teachers' College in Bahrain.…

Global Software Development (GSD) is currently a strong industry trend. This means that if computer science engineers are to be trained to deal with this model, it is very important to include the topic in software engineering courses, attempting to ensure that students learn about GSD and become familiar with its advantages and challenges.…

The aim of this study was to understand how students' attitudes were connected to the web based software Socrative. The study was conducted with 50 students taking first year physics courses in a university. The survey dimensions were based on four previous research works and the survey instrument was extended to better reflect the current study…
