The aim of this mixed research is to analyze the perception of the students about the use of Zoom and the Learning Management Systems such as Moodle and Google Classroom in the educational field during the COVID-19 pandemic considered data science. In particular, Zoom facilitates the communication, presentation of contents and resolution of…

This study employs bibliometric methods to analyse impactful and emerging research topics in the digital education ecosystem, using Scopus data from 2019 to 2023. It introduces a new Impact Factor (IF) that considers productivity, growth rate, core papers, and citations to identify key research fronts. The top five areas identified were artificial…

Studying abroad entails international students' identity (trans)formation and social network development, but individuals' decisions and choices while engaging in these processes remain underexplored. Informed by the notion of agency in second language socialization theory, this longitudinal case study examined the interplay of identity and social…

Higher education (HE) is considered to be the apex of all educational endeavours. Therefore, it is expected that student in various institutions of higher learning should be self-motivated for individualized synchronous and asynchronous learning. Lamentably, it seems that such expectation within the HE spaced is yet to be achieved. While…

Background/purpose: The increasing integration of digital technology in education underscores the need for instructional models that support personalized, skill-based, and problem-solving focused learning. While traditional pedagogies often fail to address these needs comprehensively, this study proposes that the Mastery Adaptive Problem-Solving…

In South Korea, the National Curriculum and textbooks, especially within design education, are closely intertwined. The Curriculum is critical in establishing educational goals and standards for each subject, acting as a blueprint for schooling. Textbooks, which must be approved, are designed to align with this Curriculum. This article introduces…

With a forward-looking and problem-solving mindset, this article aims to combine theoretical knowledge and empirical evidence from different schools of thought in the field of second language (L2) learning and teaching--namely, instructed second language acquisition, generative linguistics, and an ecological perspective that includes multiple…

The blended synchronous classroom fosters equitable and balanced educational development; however, challenges persist, including low motivation and suboptimal effects on the deep learning of remote students. This study employs a student-centered learning approach and incorporates the process-oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) strategy into…

Background: When supporting learners with severe intellectual disabilities, teaching methods needs to be adapted. Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability (VdTMoCA) aims to enhance participation and facilitate adaptive responses through targeted intervention principles. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the impact of an intervention programme…

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) possess significant potential to enhance learning outcomes. However, deploying ITSs in global south countries presents challenges due to their frequent lack of essential technological resources, such as computers and internet access. The concept of AIED Unplugged has emerged to bridge this digital divide,…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of an collaborative online international learning (COIL) program on student behavioral satisfaction and community engagement, with a focus on diversity and sustainability. Explore how these changes affect students' perceptions of the impact of these activities and their motivation to use…

Team-based learning (TBL) is an active learning instructional strategy shown to improve student learning in large-enrollment courses. Although early implementations of TBL proved generally effective in an undergraduate exercise physiology course that delivered an online individual readiness assurance test (iRAT) before class, the instructor…

Plant morphology courses develop students' understanding of plant structures and identification skills through mini-research activities. Effective species identification requires a literature review and the ability to find, evaluate, and use relevant information. This qualitative study examines students' information literacy skills in completing…

Second language (L2) grammar learning is difficult. Two frameworks--the psycholinguistic lexical bottleneck hypothesis and the neurocognitive declarative/procedural model--predict that faster L2 lexical processing should facilitate L2 incidental grammar learning. We tested these predictions in a pretest-posttest syntactic adaptation study of…

This article presents the initial research and development phases of a transformative climate education program for adults in a semi-rural community on southern Vancouver Island. Using design-based research (DBR), we developed a workshop series informed by adult and lifelong education (ALE), transformative learning, and the theoretical frameworks…
