The COVID-19 pandemic produced a unique opportunity to examine undergraduate students' notetaking practices for online courses. In this large survey study (n = 584), we examined how students' notetaking changed from before to during emergency online instruction and how students used their notes during this time. Our findings suggest that students…

Adults at different life phases have become an important part of the student body in higher education. Helping adult students overcome challenges and improve their learning is thus a critical consideration for universities and colleges. Microlearning is an emerging approach in adult education in recent years. The core concept of microlearning is…

The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a revolution in the delivery of modules in higher education. This paper aims to answer the research question: What are the preferences of undergraduate accounting and finance students regarding teaching delivery and exam modes following the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown? Specifically, we focus on campus, online…

This study constructs an Experiential Learning Management Model (ELMM) for early childhood education, rooted in social cognitive theory (SCT) and constructivist theory. ELMM integrates six key modules: Experiential Learning, Metacognitive Monitoring, Dynamic Assessment, Contextualized Learning, Social Interaction, and Double-Loop Learning Paths.…

This study explores the impact of project-based learning (PBL) on enhancing core competencies in educational psychology courses, specifically learning motivation, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving skills among undergraduate students. The research sample comprised 42 undergraduate students enrolled in an educational psychology…

This discussion paper reflects on the affordances of face-to-face interaction and copresence in the light of increasingly digitized learning spaces in higher education. Especially in inequitable contexts, heightened dependence on digital platforms for teaching and learning can exacerbate inequalities in terms of student access and inclusion. This…

Background: As mentorship programs variably impact STEM identity formation, significant attention is paid to whether mentors and mentees are well-matched. Mentorship-matching studies focus on the salient ethnic and gender influences on the identity formation of underrepresented minorities. We study socioeconomic-matching influences to ascertain…

In this study, a collaborative problem solving-based STEM course was implemented in a seventh-grade class. This study aimed to examine the effects of students' prior knowledge on their CPS-based STEM learning processes by using a mixed-methods approach. First, a lag sequential analysis was used to investigate individual cognitive and metacognitive…

Non-interactive teaching, in which students explain previously learned content to a non-present peer, is a generative learning activity that has gained increasing attention in recent years. While meta-analyses indicate small-to-moderate benefits, findings have been inconsistent, suggesting that its effectiveness depends on contextual factors.…

This article reports the results of a mixed-methods research project at one UK university to explore student experiences before, during, and after the COVID-19 lockdowns. The research questions were 'Which HE learning experiences will be retained?' and 'Which HE learning experiences will evolve?'. All final-year undergraduates in the 2021/22…

Marketing education has undergone a significant shift toward experiential learning and interactive pedagogical approaches. This article demonstrates the potential of educational escape rooms (EERs) as a novel and innovative tool for enhancing student engagement in marketing education. Building on the literature on experiential learning, game-based…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the components of a profound moment. We provisionally defined a profound moment as an experience that intentionally or unintentionally continues to surface in consciousness, has transformed an individual's fundamental perspectives, and been integrated into an individual's life. Participants who…

Associative learning is the passive learning of a predictive relationship between two previously unrelated cues or events. This article explains how associative learning is currently employed in the sport domain and how it can be used to increase motivation and focus when working with athletes. The article describes associative learning techniques…

This article provides responses to the following questions: what are the major properties of 'remote presence'? What is meant by social presence in e-learning? What are the specific characteristics of the theoretical model of social presence in e-learning (MSP-elearning)? The responses offered are the result of work on characterisation of 'remote…

One of the main objectives of international agendas is the promotion of lifelong learning opportunities. Transmedia literacy, usually acquired informally, offers many of the key skills, competences and strategies to ensure learning in a world where technology has a predominant role. However, no analyses reporting the impact of their use are…
