HyFlex learning environments have been meeting the unique needs of students and institutions for nearly 20 years. However, it was the pandemic that gave HyFlex its widespread acceptance and application. Literature suggests that HyFlex may now be considered part of the new norm in education and therefore, further study is needed on how it affects…

Background: SPEAK OUT! has been shown to enhance various aspects of voice such as intensity, prosody, voice quality and perception of voice. However, their impacts on expiration and communication effectiveness have not yet been evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Hybrid SPEAK OUT! method on aerodynamic measurements and…

The pandemic has globally changed the landscape of the educational system in most countries of the world, including Ukraine. Their educational systems have faced massive challenges in distance learning implementation. However, in addition to the destructive impact of the pandemic, Ukraine has a more serious problem in the form of a full-scale…

The formulation of a sense of community (SOC) among students has received significant attention in the literature in recent years. However, digitally enhanced learning and COVID-19 have amplified the challenges vis-à-vis connecting students and making them feel involved and recognized in virtual learning ecologies for higher educational…

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, many applications have emerged, sparking heated discussions across various social sectors, particularly in education. This study aims to delve into the impact of pedagogical agents on learning through a combined use of VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer. Specifically, VOSviewer will facilitate a…

Institutions of higher education are implementing Blended Learning (BL) approaches to supplement traditional courses in enhancing students' learning experiences. However, only fewer studies have examined BL acceptance based on the determinants that influence students' perception towards BL integration in improving learning performance.…

Children are socialized into society through education, which imparts cultural values and customs and provides them with the tools necessary to contribute positively to society. In this way, education promotes economic expansion and increases public awareness of regional and global issues. To meet the requirements and expectations of…

This study explored students' perceptions of the implementation of synchronous and asynchronous blended learning. The current case study investigated 78 undergraduates who enrolled in a course while involved in an experiential learning program called "Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka" (MBKM) or independent learning on an independent…

Literature suggests post-secondary students feel disengaged and socially isolated while learning virtually, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we explored whether a sense of belonging is differentially achieved in an inquiry-based course between two different delivery formats: virtual and blended (combination of virtual and in-person).…

The current study examined the effectiveness of blended learning systems in a selected group of five elementary schools in one school district. It analyzed the influence of on-site leadership and teacher professional development on the implementation of blended learning and its influence on student engagement. Although blended learning integrates…

COVID-19 abruptly changed educational institutions globally and challenged teachers and students. This immediate shift was difficult for K12 teachers because they were required to teach their courses online or using a blended learning (BL) model. As BL use continues to grow, concerns about student-content engagement have emerged. This single case…

Despite repeated warnings from K-12 online learning scholars, media, and U.S. government bodies about the need for teacher readiness in the face of school disruptions like COVID-19, teacher education programs have largely fallen short in preparing educators for effective online and blended teaching during extended school closures. In this paper,…

How can a new generation of students be equipped to take up positions of responsibility in a dynamic global environment, serving as leaders and citizens who will further the good of societies around the world? As the institutions responsible for educating the next generation of citizens and leaders at a formative time in their intellectual and…

In higher education, motivational factors are considered one of "the strongest predictors of academic performance" (Honike et al., 2020, p. 1). A meta-analysis of face-to-face (f2f) courses (Richardson et al., 2012) supports these claims, finding a strong correlation between performance self-efficacy and academic performance (r = 0.59),…

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, technological and administrative systems for implementing online learning, and the infrastructure that supports its access and delivery, had to be adapted quickly. While disparity in accessibility existed between urban and rural students, extensive resources had been allocated and processes developed to…
