Perceptions of teachers' interpersonal behaviors are known to influence students' motivation and perceived competence, yet it remains unclear how agreement or discrepancy between students' and teachers' perceptions affects these outcomes. This study involved 30 teachers (24 females; M[subscript age] = 47.25, SD[subscript age] = 8.90) and 1,062…

This study aimed to develop and validate the online learning experience scale for art students (OLESA) in higher education. A qualitative-quantitative sequential mixed-method design was used for the instrument validation. According to the widely-accepted scale development process, this study followed the steps of item pool generation, expert…

The socio-educational model suggests that social milieu influences individual characteristics, which in turn affect engagement in learning contexts, ultimately impacting linguistic and non-linguistic outcomes. Operationalized representations of the model tend to focus on relations among integrativeness, attitudes to the learning situation,…

This qualitative study investigates how three teachers attend to and pedagogically support socioemotional aspects of fifth-grade students' learning during student self-directed inquiry projects called the "Kids Inquiry Conference" (KIC) using Spradley's domain and taxonomic analyses of classroom observation and interview data.…

This study employed a multilevel, three-stage hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) approach to examine the factors influencing homework completion, time, and effort behaviors among middle and high school students. The student-level analysis encompassed a range of variables, including academic achievement, parental education, book ownership, age,…

Background: Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and destructive, highlighting the need for more effective public education on safety and preparedness. Gamification, the use of game design elements in non-game contexts, offers a promising strategy to enhance learner engagement and educational effectiveness compared to traditional methods.…

This quantitative study examined English as foreign language (EFL) students' motivational orientation, perceived autonomy support, and psychological needs satisfaction in online education. Besides, the relationship between the above-mentioned variables was examined to test the hypothesis derived from the Self-Determination Theory. It was…

Technological advancements are rapidly transforming education, particularly immersive technologies, such as virtual reality (VR). Despite extensive research on VR's potential to enhance learning, its effectiveness in vocational education and training (VET) remains underexplored. This study evaluates the performance of VET students using a VR…

Role-play tasks have long been used by researchers and practitioners to observe L2 (Second language) speaking performance. This social-situated simulation allows students to employ their language skills to converse about real-life themes. While role-plays are highly plausible to actively engage students in interactive learning environments, it has…

In most physical education courses, teachers generally observe and interact with students face-to-face, so as to assess their learning status and provide immediate and appropriate guidance. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, practical physical education courses moved completely online. Without physical contact, the safety, assessment, and…

Directed motivational currents (DMCs) are portrayed as highly intense and prolonged periods of motivation oriented to a much-desired goal of personal significance. While we have seen a recent growth in studies examining aspects of DMCs, evidence on the negative side-effects of DMCs remains inadequate to date. In response to repeated calls for…

Reading motivation is critical in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore, insufficient reading motivation leads to several problems concerning the learners' reading development. One of the strategies to maintain and boost learners' motivation is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into language teaching practices. One…

Social interaction is essential for international students in rebuilding support systems in their host country; however, the complexity of this process remains insufficiently explored. Guided by the conceptual framework of social connectedness, this qualitative case study examines the types, influencing factors, and characteristics of social…

The potential of educational augmented reality systems to improve students' learning performance, motivation, and cognitive load has been demonstrated by recent studies. To help students learn the design history material, this study suggests an AR-integrated learning application strategy. In this study, we use Modernism as the theoretical…

This study investigated the relationship between primary school students' mathematics motivation and problem-solving skills in mathematics. A total of 429 students were selected through convenience sampling, using a relational survey model. Data were collected using the Mathematics Problem-solving Achievement Test and the Mathematics Course…
