Background: While a substantial number of studies have investigated English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL/L2 English) anxiety, they predominantly examined it from a unidimensional perspective, overlooking the potential insights offered by examining language-skill-specific L2 anxiety from a multidimensional lens. Moreover, prior research has…

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly transforms higher education, faculty are increasingly expected to integrate AI tools into curriculum design, assessment, and instruction, often without adequate preparation. This article examines how Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) can effectively support faculty adopting AI technologies through…

This study aims to: 1) Examine the experiences and needs essential for fostering self-directed knowledge construction among science teachers and lower secondary students; and 2) Develop a learning management process to enhance self-directed knowledge construction for lower secondary students. Targeting 35 students from a school in Kalasin province…

The evolving designs of medical school curricula, coupled with the inherently difficult nature of physiology, can create unique challenges and opportunities for physiology educators as they strive to help students acquire the knowledge and understanding needed to become excellent physicians. Core concept teaching and its potential benefits have…

This descriptive report explores the implementation of the use of plastinated specimens in a Doctor of Physical Therapy human anatomy curriculum as an alternative to traditional body donor dissection. Plastination, a preservation technique developed in the 1970s, creates durable and flexible specimens that retain detailed anatomical features. The…

With the emergence of new technologies, various methods for providing online peer feedback have become available. While the effects of online peer feedback on student perceptions and learning are often compared to those of offline peer feedback, there is a lack of research comparing different online feedback environments. This study focuses on how…

This review critically examines the concept of international mindedness (IM) within the broader discourse of international education. Drawing on a semi-systematic literature review, the study interrogates how IM has been conceptualized, applied, and critiqued across educational contexts. Adopting a critical lens, the review uncovers the…

Classroom discussions of social issues, ranging from gun violence and climate change to race and gender identity, have become risky and politicised, dividing parents and educators along ideological lines and leading to censorship. Journalistic teaching and learning in secondary school English classes present one viable solution. However, few…

AI-enabled assessment of student papers has the potential to provide both summative and formative feedback and reduce the time spent on grading. Using auto-ethnography, this study compares AI-enabled and human assessment of business student examination papers in a law module based on previously established rubrics. Examination papers were…

This study examines the success of undergraduate students in computer science supplementary courses offered by a non-profit organization in partnership with colleges and universities across the U.S. Using a novel dataset from the nonprofit organization, we present one of the first descriptive overviews of students enrolled in supplemental computer…

Research on the possible benefits of digital games for learning outcomes in STEM education has shown mixed results, which is another reason that this study is focused on inconsistencies in past research outcomes. Moreover, it seeks to explore the moderator variables which affect the success of digital games like game design, interactive…

In recent years, digital education has become a cornerstone of higher education, particularly following the rapid expansion of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The specific objective of this study was to identify the key affordances (critical factors) and essential features for effective digital course design within higher education.…

In an effort to increase completion rates, the University of Houston (UH) has implemented customized strategies to improve course performance. Course grades impact GPA, and the literature consistently shows a strong positive relationship between GPA and the likelihood of persistence and degree completion. In 2021, UH launched an initiative to…

Online ethnography is a research approach that adapts traditional ethnographic methods for studying communities that exist online. This case study reports on an online ethnography of Webheads in Action (WiA), an online community of English language teachers, founded in 2002. In this online ethnographic research, I examined how the Webheads…

This systematic review examines how gamification and artificial intelligence (AI) can converge to foster essential 21st-century skills like creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking in education. The review followed the main PRISMA statement guidelines, resulting in 175 articles for qualitative content analysis and bibliometric network…
