Due to the advent of the pandemic, online learning was fully introduced into the Philippine educational setup. One of the emerging challenges that online teachers face is fostering student engagement in virtual classrooms. Thus, this paper aimed to examine the predictors of student engagement in online learning. The mediating role of…

This exploratory, quantitative study examined positive student-faculty interactions, sense of belonging, and cumulative grade-point average among a population of disabled undergraduate students. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not positive student-faculty interactions and sense of belonging are predictors of the academic…

Small-group discussion is a central component of 21st-century biology classrooms. Many factors shape these discussions and thus influence potential learning gains. This study examined how accuracy and idea consideration shaped small-group discussions in undergraduate biology labs (12 groups, M = 42.8 talk turns). To do this, we asked: (1) Is there…

To expand the literature on the rather new concept of student burnout, the present study examined the influence of teacher immediacy and stroke variables on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' experience of burnout. To fulfill this aim, a group of 631 undergraduate EFL students from various universities in Iran answered questionnaires…

The aim of this study is to reveal the predictive relationships among smartphone addiction, fear of missing out (FOMO) and interaction anxiousness in university students. The study group of the research consists of 610 university students, 325 (53.3%) females and 285 (46.7%) males that were studying in Konya Turkey. In order to collect the data…

People living with disabilities constitute a large proportion of Nigeria's population and there is a need for assessment of attitudes of members of the society towards these people with disabilities. This study was conducted in a Nigerian University using a descriptive cross-sectional study design and 339 undergraduate students and 24 academic…

Despite a growing body of work on understanding how students perceived the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects on existing distance learning universities have received less attention. This study aimed to understand changes in distance learning students' study habits (learning, assessment and social activities) and assess the factors…

The purpose of the study was to examine the impacts of course activities on student perceptions of engagement and learning in online courses. Using eight interactive course activities as indicators of course interactivity, we conducted a latent profile analysis to cluster students into different groups. Based on students' perceptions, we observed…

With the increasing adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in colleges and universities, research in exploring the interaction data captured by these systems is promising in developing a better learning environment and improving teaching practice. Most of these research efforts focused on course-level variables to predict student…

Educational software data promises unique insights into students' study behaviors and drivers of success. While much work has been dedicated to performance prediction in massive open online courses, it is unclear if the same methods can be applied to blended courses and a deeper understanding of student strategies is often missing. We use pattern…

Collaborative problem solving behaviors are difficult to identify and foster due to their amorphous and dynamic nature. In this paper, we investigate the value of considering early class period behaviors, based on small group development theory, for building predictive machine learning models of collaborative behaviors during problem solving. Over…

Online learning's application in the language learning process has become an important topic as the COVID-19 crisis has restricted in-person classes. This study investigates student satisfaction in an online language learning course at a higher educational institution in Vietnam. The study tested the influence of learner-learner, learner-content,…

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate Jordanian university students' interaction, Internet self-efficacy, self-regulation and satisfaction regarding online education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: A correlational cross-sectional design was utilized using convenience sampling to include 702 undergraduate students from…

This study was to examine student satisfaction in remote online learning environments during COVID-19 in Indonesia. The participants were 65 undergraduate Informatics students from a private university in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data from Strachota's Student Satisfaction survey responses were examined using quantitative analyses. According to the…

STEM classrooms (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in postsecondary education are rapidly improved by the proper use of active learning techniques. These techniques occupy a descriptive spectrum that transcends passive teaching toward active, constructive, and, finally, interactive methods. While aspects of this framework have…
