This mixed-methods study examined the effectiveness of Rosetta Stone, a mobile-based language learning application, on Chinese EFL students' listening, speaking, foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and foreign language anxiety (FLA). Two groups of intermediate Chinese EFL students from a language institute, with 33 students in the control group and…

This two-phase mixed methodology study, relevant to STEM educational stakeholders and researchers in emergency remote teaching (ERT) and ICT for education, explored college students' and graduates' attitudes and usage patterns of educational ICT in the U.S. and Japan and identified affordances of the technology for both text and audio-based…

Artificial grammar learning (AGL) is an experimental paradigm frequently adopted to investigate the unconscious and conscious learning and application of linguistic knowledge. This paper will introduce ENIGMA (https://enigma-lang.org) as a free, flexible, and lightweight Web-based tool for running online AGL experiments. The application is…

Mobile phones have become essential learning tools with their extensive features and functionalities, contributing to the emergence of mobile learning. These devices enable communication and collaboration both inside and outside the classrooms while also aiding in information seeking, collection, and content generation. Yet, the use of mobile…

This study aimed to discover the factors affecting the acceptance and adoption of Tiktok platform among Palestinians through the Lens of Diffusion of Innovation Theory. The study sought to research how Tiktok app has diffused among the Palestinian users, and discover the characteristics of Tiktok platform that affect its adoption among them, in…

Background: Wearable technologies offer new opportunities to address in-school physical inactivity. However, children are often excluded from discussing issues which directly impact them, including the use of wearable technologies in a school setting. Thus, the aim of this study is to understand primary school pupils' experiences and perceptions…

Educational virtual environments (EVEs) can enable effective learning experiences on various devices, including smartphones, using nonimmersive virtual reality (VR). To this purpose, researchers and educators should identify the most appropriate pedagogical techniques, not restarting from scratch but exploring which traditional e-learning and VR…

The sharp rise over the past decade in young children's access to various forms of screen media (e.g., smartphones, tablets, TVs) has posed new and significant challenges to caregivers in managing children's use of this type of media. For caregivers of young children with externalizing behavior problems, managing children's time with screen media…

The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of mutual relations within the Problematic Smartphone Use (PSU) (first network) and between adolescent mental health problems and PSU (second network). The invariance of both networks was investigated across age, gender, and severity of symptoms. The participants were 708 Romanian adolescents…

In this single-case study with a quasi-experimental design, we set out to examine the role of two input-based features of the language learning app Duolingo on learners' development of implicit and explicit second language (L2) knowledge. We investigated the effect of Duolingo's Stories feature and Podcast feature on two Spanish-L2 learners'…

Notwithstanding the increase in research on artificial intelligence-infused English language learning, several issues remain inadequately addressed. Thus, this paper provides a systematic review and analyzes previous studies to pinpoint fruitful knowledge gaps and outline approaches for future research directions. Two approaches, bibliometric and…

Herein, we developed a mobile augmented reality (AR) application that can recognize chemical bonding by arranging markers on which atoms are augmented, in accordance with the specific characteristics of actual chemical bonding. From an educational affordance perspective, the development targets for AR application were selected to recognize…

Engagements in teacher learning communities (TLCs) in South African school settings have been predominantly face-toface. However, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, some rural teachers began resorting more to collaboration that prioritises the use of 21st-century communication technology. In this article we report the findings of a…

College students have a variety of temptations that can keep them from making the most of their learning in and out of the classroom. Moreover, students' habits and behaviors related to mobile device use can hinder their learning and can stymie faculty's effective teaching practices. To explore these issues, we conducted a phenomenological study…

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a concise and efficient predictive model used to explain the acceptance of m-learning technology. However, several studies have shown that TAM cannot fully explain the acceptance of m-learning among Generation Z. This study aims to formulate TAM as a model of m-learning acceptance for Generation Z. TAM…
