Numerous studies have explored motivation in language learning, yet few have focused on writing in English as a foreign language (EFL), particularly among primary school children. This study aimed to explore EFL writing motivation among Croatian young language learners (YLLs) at the end of primary education (Grade 8). It investigated both internal…

Background/purpose: The students have difficulty understanding abstract concepts that are sometimes difficult to visualize in optics and physics, so learning innovations are needed to overcome these problems. Case-Based Learning (CBL) optical physics learning integrated with mobile microlearning offers an innovative approach to improving the…

This study examined the barriers and coping strategies involved in integrating Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), including AI-driven tools, among 399 EFL instructors. Through a survey and supplemental interviews, the research explored how instructors' background characteristics influence their coping strategies and the barriers they…

Engagement in science club activities at school has been identified as a crucial experience for developing creative self-efficacy while also fostering students' social and emotional growth. The effects of science club activities on students' creative self-efficacy were analyzed using difference verification and structural equation modeling in this…

Telecollaboration in pre-service teacher education promotes intercultural communicative competence and bridges knowledge and practice. Although a growing body of studies has addressed the affordances of telecollaboration for developing student-teachers' (STs') competencies, research focusing on their knowledge of classroom interaction--and on…

Although loneliness is related to mobile phone addiction among college students, little is known about the mediating mechanisms underlying this association. On the basis of the Interaction of person-affect-cognition-execution model for addictive behaviors, self-verification theory, and previous results of empirical studies, the present study…

The problem this study sought to address was the university's reluctance to maximize the use of students' mobile devices. The purpose of this quantitative one-shot case study design was to examine the influence of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) on military students' behavioral intention to use mobile devices while…

In this research, the effects of consistently delivering instant messages to individuals attending distance education on their perceptions of transactional distance and sense of community were examined. Messages are planned to be recollective and informatory to the students. Students who volunteered to take part in the study were university…

Statement of the Problem and Purpose: Romantic relationships may be a source of behavioral and psychological strain, while the use of Instagram may also have positive and negative influences on university students' relationships. However, whether there is a relationship between university students' romantic relationship statuses and behaviors on…

Solar limb darkening is a prominent feature seen in white images of the Sun: the brightness of the solar disk is greatest at the solar center and decreases radially outward towards the limb. White light images can be used to examine and even model limb darkening; however, the limb-darkening effect is, in fact, wavelength dependent. Limb darkening…
