This study proposes and validates a sequential digital-physical-psychological (DPP) pathway model to explain how social media use facilitates international students' cross-cultural adaptation through behavioral and psychological mediation. Building on media system dependency theory and social learning theory, the model posits that digital…

Feature engineering plays a critical role in the development of machine learning systems for educational contexts, yet its impact on student trust remains understudied. Traditional approaches have focused primarily on optimizing model performance through expert-crafted features, while the emergence of AutoML offers automated alternatives for…

This study delves into school heads' perspectives regarding microaggressions in eight diverse school environments. The term 'microaggressions' may be unfamiliar to many, as it pertains to the subtle verbal and nonverbal offensive behaviors of students or adults in classroom settings or outside the classroom.

While many models have already…

With the rapid development of information technology, the internet has emerged as a pivotal driving force in reshaping higher education paradigms. This paper delves into clustering algorithms and proposes an enhanced version, exploring how this enhanced clustering algorithm can be applied to blended teaching of digital electronic technology…

Smartphone addiction (SA) has become a pervasive issue among university students. Therefore, it is important to better understand the conditions under which SA develops. Previous studies indicate that fear of missing out (FoMO), a psychological barrier to behavioural self-regulation, is often associated with SA risk. In the pedagogical context,…

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between student cognitive engagement and academic achievement and inquired about the moderating effects of student gender on the relationship. A cross-sectional quantitative survey approach was conducted to do descriptive and inferential statistics. Simple random sampling was employed to select…
