Despite a lack of empirical evidence to support its existence, previous literature has demonstrated that Learning Styles Theory (LST) enjoys widespread popularity in education, leading many researchers to refer to it as a "myth". This study utilized original survey data to determine Kansas K-12 teachers' level of predilection for LST.…

The purpose of this study is to identify the best model that explains the relationship between conflicting risk structures and decision quality. Using confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical regression techniques as statistical methods, the author confirmed that changes in the conflicting risk structures correlated with changes in decision…

This study identifies women college engineering students' perception of online Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning and factors that influence their learning motivation during the COVID-19 period. By conducting interviews with ten women engineering students and applying attention, relevance, confidence, and…

Globally, the choice of language learning strategies by EFL learners is a debated issue in secondary schools in EFL countries due to the individual personality characteristics of the learners.

There has been a little research on emotion, cognitive load, or learning performance for digital game-based learning (DGBL). However, there is still a dearth of research on investigating the interactive effects of scaffolding DGBL and cognitive style on the above three outcomes. Participants were 97 middle-aged and elder adults from a community…

Introduction: The discussion around academic achievement in the context of distance education has raised the need to develop studies that allow identifying the variables that best predict it. The goal of this study was to analyze the fit of a structural equations model that assumes that sociodemographic variables, personality traits, motivation…

The present quasi-experimental study investigated which component of processing instruction (PI) is responsible for its beneficial effects and whether EFL learners with different learning styles similarly benefit from PI components. In doing so, a sample of 67 first-year students took part in a study with a non-equivalent control group…

For Chinese EFL students, learning English has always been a great challenge, and research has shown that cognitive and affective factors increasingly become important issues in the field of foreign language learning and teaching (Naderifar and Esfandiari 2016).
