This study explores how online instructors use different instructional strategies to engage learners, and the active learning indicators that they look for among their students. Additionally, it examines how modality--synchronous versus asynchronous--and instructor learner-centeredness relate to instructional strategy choices. Using a mixed…

Distance education between the student and the teacher through online sessions can make it difficult for a student who does not understand a concept to ask for clarification. Lack of a physical campus or social pressure from peers can demotivate students from completing their assignments. The framework of multi-intelligence English teaching based…

In 1963, Howard Y. McClusky wrote the theory of margin, defining the personal ratio of power to load. Margin theory has been used to predict success; however, more research is needed to redevelop how this sixty-year-old theory is situated in the current environment. This grounded theory study examined the changes to margin by hybridization.…

In India, the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) are a vital part the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. Previous research reveals that in addition to some other problems, it is the strongly theory-based training that impedes the transition of VET graduates into the labour market, and leads to a lack of work-readiness in young…

The current study is an approximate replication of Gray and DiLoreto's (2016) study, which proposed a model predicting that course structure, learner interaction and instructor presence would influence students' perceived learning and satisfaction in online learning, with student engagement acting as a mediator between two of the predictors and…

Several major theories have been established in research on motivation in education to describe, explain, and predict the direction, initiation, intensity, and persistence of learning behaviors. The most commonly cited theories of academic motivation include expectancy-value theory, social cognitive theory, self-determination theory, interest…

Society is continually evolving and the needs of current generations of students are changing, deriving from the ongoing digital evolution of the whole of society. Gamification tools are increasingly being implemented in education, since previous studies have demonstrated their usefulness to foster motivation, particularly in the case of…

Value clarification technique (VCT) and teaching and contextual learning (CTL) are learning models that are rarely compared in history learning. Hence, the purpose of this study was to find: (1) The differences in student learning outcomes using the VCT model and the CTL learning model; (2) Differences in student learning outcomes between the use…

This article aims to disseminate a technology-enhanced language pedagogy for teaching oral English in a World Englishes context, which is underpinned by the theories of scaffolding, scaffolded instruction, and task-based learning, and utilises a Moodle learning management system (LMS) as its e-learning platform. In this pedagogy, not only do…

The game-mediated second and foreign language (GML2) field investigates how games can be used in facilitating L2 teaching and learning. This review explores how researchers define and differentiate among GML2 practices. A total of 51 publications from 2010 to 2021 were analyzed, revealing that only 40% of the publications defined GML2 practices,…

At the level of society and educational planners, there is a widespread expectation that teachers must use creative teaching approaches to fulfill the requirements of the twenty-first century. The mere teacher-centered method mainly focuses on memorization and may not be feasible. Teachers must be aware of innovative methods of teaching. One such…

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the relationship between the students' digital activities and their academic performance through two stages. In the first stage, students' digital activities were studied and clustered based on the attributes of their activity log of learning management system (LMS) data set. In the second stage, the…

Purpose: Fischer "et al." (2022) present a framework for rethinking education, including broad design components such as learning-on-demand or learning takes place in the context of authentic problems. How can we bring those design components into practice? I argue that the design of innovative learning approaches for the digital age…

The main aim of this paper is to present results of an experimental test focused on the validity and effectiveness of composed methodology aimed at increasing the student's attention in Virtual Learning Environment. Areas of presented methodology which were subject of our research is students behavior during learning. The behavioral part of…
