This study examined the factors related to student persistence in online education programs. Using a model of persistence, we conducted five confirmatory factor analytic models to evaluate scales that measured the factors of interest: locus of control, self-efficacy, task value, satisfaction, and persistence. We also conducted and compared two…

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into education has introduced both opportunities and challenges for academic institutions. As educators navigate whether and how to allow AI use in their classrooms, syllabus statements have become indispensable for clarifying expectations and promoting digital literacy. This article…

Online learning continues to expand due to globalization and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, maintaining student engagement in this new normal has become increasingly difficult. Conventional techniques, such as self-reports and manual observations, often fall short of capturing the subtle behaviors that indicate attentiveness. This emphasizes the…

Online education is considered a type of education in which students and faculty members use their own devices to access the internet instead of presenting physically in the institution. The present study aimed to explore positive exploration of online teaching-learning at the postgraduate level at the University of Dhaka. Under a qualitative…

Students in online courses continue to feel disconnected, frustrated, isolated, and anxious even as they continue to enroll in online courses. This contradiction presents a puzzling challenge for online instructors in higher education contexts. Using microethnographic methods, this case study explores how instructors and students emotionally…

Human anatomy is a foundational course in graduate health professional programs. Given the increased enrollment in anatomy courses, along with the development of new technologies, institutions are increasingly compelled to provide alternative course formats, including online learning. Similarly, higher education is increasingly transitioning from…

The purpose of this study was to examine (1) preservice teachers' (PSTs) content development in terms of task selection and specialized content knowledge (SCK) index; and (2) what adaptations to core practices PSTs make in lesson plans during school placement. Content development data were retrieved from 111 lesson plans of 11 PSTs. Data on…

Team-based learning (TBL) is one pedagogy used to promote active learning. While TBL was initially implemented in the face-to-face classroom, there is a growing need for collaborative pedagogies in online classrooms. Course delivery in an online classroom may include a variety of formats and be accompanied by challenges related to the transition…

Due to lack of research to track inclusive teaching behavior changes, the extent of faculty application of inclusive teaching practices remains unknown. Therefore, direct evaluation of faculty behavior change is needed to understand the process of incorporating inclusive practices into their teaching such as through the syllabus or course design.…

This study leverages the digital sticky note feature in Zoom's whiteboard to provide students with opportunities to gain a better understanding of supply chain management through engagement and hands-on experience in a synchronous online class. The activity was implemented within an online graduate course in Operations and Supply Chain Management…

This book aims to fully demonstrate the burnout of learners in online learning processes. The authors propose a series of feasible and reliable solutions to sufficiently obtain and analyze massive instances of online learning behavior. In order to flexibly perceive and intervene in the "burnout state" and improve online learning…

This study aims to explore parents' views and concerns regarding the teaching of politics and the inclusion of politically controversial issues in schools. We employed an exploratory sequential design and a mixed-methods approach in this study. Initially, we conducted indepth interviews with 12 parents to explore their perspectives on teaching…

Higher education study has become more accessible to rural places through the development of stronger technologies, interfaces and pedagogy for online study. However, while these have made higher education more accessible, they also overlook the substantial impact that social circumstances and resources have on the means to meaningfully…

Objective: The current math course-taking plan for U.S. high school students is not optimized for all, with advanced math course participation skewed toward White and Asian students and varying across schools due to resources and policies (Dalton et al., 2007; Byun et al., 2015). These disparities widen achievement gaps and reduce STEM diversity.…

With the development of mobile Internet and digital technologies, online education platforms transcend time and space constraints to provide ubiquitous learning environments. However, high dropout rates and low pass rates pose a great challenge. Predicting student performance enables early identification of academic failure tendencies,…
