Background: Cannabis vaping has become increasingly popular among college students. The purpose of this study was to use the Integrated Behavioral Model to better understand students' motivations for engaging in this high-risk behavior. Methods: A survey instrument was developed to assess six IBM constructs, as well as past use of cannabis and…

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a supervision model to enhance communicative English teaching and learning management for teachers in educational opportunity expansion schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission. The research was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 involved the development of the supervision model through case…

The 21st-century skills seek to develop learners who will be problem solvers in society. This paradigm shift requires the use of learner-centered strategies that emphasize collaborative problem-solving. To explore the effectiveness of such approaches, this study sought to determine how effective Wheatley's problem-centered approach would be in the…

This study examines the effects of the continuation task and the model-as-feedback writing task (MAFW) on English as a foreign language (EFL) vocabulary learning. Three classes of intermediate-level Chinese EFL learners were randomly assigned to a continuation group, a MAFW group, and a control group. Three aspects of vocabulary knowledge --…

Challenge: The Hodgkin-Huxley membrane conductance model has been featured in biomedical engineering (BME) curricula for decades. A typical BME assignment might require students to apply the relevant equations and parameters to model the generation of action potentials; however, there is opportunity for students to build and explore both…

Students who are the first in family (FIF) to enrol in bachelor's degree programmes, do not have the same familial cultural, social and economic capital that can help in their transitions into tertiary study than students whose parents are tertiary graduates. This qualitative study explores four FIF students' experiences of transitioning from…

Background/purpose: The contemporary educational landscape, shaped by technological advancements, demands that pre-service teachers cultivate creative thinking to design engaging learning experiences. This study addresses this need by investigating the efficacy of a pedagogical model that integrates Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and e-modules. The…

The recommendation of courses in an online educational system is done using different factors that include course length, duration, and learning material information. The course design is based on the instructor's teaching style, which may not necessarily correspond with the various learning preferences of students. Matching the learning style of…

Classroom dialogue is crucial for effective teaching and learning, prompting many professional development (PD) programs to focus on dialogic pedagogy. Traditionally, these programs rely on manual analysis of classroom practices, which limits timely feedback to teachers. To address this, artificial intelligence (AI) has been employed for rapid…

Many international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) have switched to multistage adaptive testing (MST) designs to improve measurement efficiency in measuring the skills of the heterogeneous populations around the world. In this context, previous literature has reported the acceptable level of model parameter recovery under the MST designs when the…

Background/purpose: This research aimed to: 1) develop a model of innovative leadership characteristics for school administrators in a multicultural society, and 2) evaluate the model's suitability for practical implementation. Materials/methods: This study employed the Delphi technique and an exploratory sequential design consisting of five…
