A single-case experimental study was designed to evaluate the effects of CICO Plus support (CICO Plus) for participants whose behaviour was…

Pair programming is a collaborative learning mode to foster novice learners' computer programming. Previous empirical research has reported contrasting conclusions about the effect of pair programming on student learning. To further understand students' pair programming, this study uses a mixed method to analyze three contrasting pairs'…

The study aimed at exploring the perceptions pre-service student teachers had about their challenges and difficulties that hindered their teaching. The present study espoused a convergent mixed-methods approach, which adopted a questionnaire and semi-structured focused-group-interviews as the research instruments. The participants of this…

Social contagion theories suggest that adolescents in relationships with same-age high school dropouts should be at a greater risk of dropping out themselves. Yet, few studies have examined this premise, and none have considered all potentially influential same-age intimates, focusing instead on only either friends or siblings. Moreover, a key…

This manuscript draws from a naturalistic participant-observation study, focused on Midwestern United States men's experiences in a short-term study abroad (STSA) programme in Spain, exploring gendered performances during the course.

This article identifies the unique and multifarious learning-style preferences that characterize Saudi English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' learning, and explores how multidimensional causal factors…

Vocabulary knowledge is essential for successful language learning. However, little is known about young learners' vocabulary learning in a Thai EFL context and the teaching methods that facilitate vocabulary learning. The current study examined whether songs and total physical response (TPR) can facilitate preschoolers' vocabulary acquisition in…
