This study investigates intervention strategies aimed at enhancing student participation in blended learning and teaching, particularly in low-resource environments. With the increasing adoption of blended learning methodologies, many students face challenges related to access and affordability of technological resources, which can hinder their…

The use of data to inform instruction has been linked to improved student outcomes, early identification of intervention needs, and teacher decision-making and efficacy. Additionally, data are used as a means of accountability within educational settings. However, little is known about data use practices among early grades teachers. The purpose of…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and apply machine learning methods that accommodate and leverage process heterogeneity when investigating mediation. We develop causal machine learning methods that relax assumptions of (indirect) effect homogeneity, accommodate high dimensional mediator sets, capture heterogeneous,…

Doctoral students and apprentices are much alike. Doctoral students are treated as junior academic scholars. They must follow and learn different knowledge and research skills from their senior academic scholars, mainly supervisors and other congenial faculty members within the department. During the process, reflectivity is one of their vital…

Purpose: This study investigates mentoring practices within Initial Teacher Education in England during a period of significant policy reform. Informed by Bourdieu's theory of capital and habitus, the research explores how pre-service teachers (PSTs) experience mentoring relationships and how these experiences shape their professional identity and…

This analytic autoethnography offers a critical and personal reflection on two decades (2005-2025) of academic life at a South African university. Framed within South Africa's shifting higher education landscape, the study explores academic identity formation through eight thematic lenses: from early experiences as an unprepared lecturer to the…

In this article we explore the educational experiences of an Indonesian youth, Ariga (pseudonym), in the Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA), a youth correctional facility in Aceh, Indonesia. Using narrative inquiry methodology alongside social reproduction theory, this narrative inquiry examines how institutional policies and practices impact…

Purpose: Digital twin enabled e-learning (DTEe-L) transitions from traditional instructional design to innovative learner-centered e-learning design. Initially, during the COVID-19 pandemic, DTEe-L demonstrated great promise for significantly optimizing e-learning environments, emerging as a suitable mechanism for innovative and active learning,…

Emerging technologies and innovative instructional methods have revolutionized education, making blended learning the new standard in the artificial intelligence era. However, poor integration of online and face-to-face learning has led to challenges such as superficial student engagement. This study developed a Community of Inquiry-based blended…

The purpose of this research project was to investigate the extent to which a compulsory service-learning program (SLP) offered in one secondary school inspired students to extend their service to the community beyond their schooling and make the connection between real-life social inequities and the SLP. The project involved interviewing current…

Philosophies of teaching and learning are significant because they outline the roles and duties of teachers in improving learners' academic performance and progress. Secondary school teachers attempt to adopt philosophies of teaching and learning that promote effective learning. However, studies show that they face challenges in practicing…

This study highlights educators' challenges in orchestrating student interactions within technology-rich environments. Specifically, it investigates teachers' perceptions and their students' experiences in technology-enriched classrooms, focusing on internal school policies, provided ICT infrastructure, and teacher-student engagement with digital…

Student attrition remains a pressing concern in open-access faculties in Moroccan universities. Identifying key factors influencing first-year students' dropout intention is crucial. Grounded in Tinto's (1993) Model of Institutional Departure, this quantitative study surveyed 2,220 first-year students across thirteen faculties in two universities…

Virtual reality (VR) has unique potential for simulating environments and situations beyond real-life experiences. This study investigates the limitations of VR equipment design for learning spaces, specifically online environments. Presented are the findings of an exploratory study that examined the immersion, ease of use, and physiological and…
