Learning statistics can be challenging for many students, due to their inability to engage in statistical reasoning and application of techniques. This challenge becomes compounded in online learning contexts where students are spatially and temporally separated from the teacher. This paper describes and explains a case of theory-driven…

The migration to online learning has brought about several new problems. Poor signal quality, large Internet quotas, and device compatibility with learning applications are the most common complaints among students. Additionally, students' poor self-directed learning skills, the excessive number of assignments given by teachers, and the use of…

Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic early in 2020, English language learners could no longer learn from face-to-face interactions and had to adapt to online lessons. This paper reports a study that investigated their learning strategies during their online sessions. To achieve the objective, a survey was conducted with 257 university…

For more than 30 years, Peter Senge's theory of learning organizations has influenced the study of leadership and organizations. Researchers have studied various components of his framework: team cognition and mental models, team learning, shared vision, systems thinking, and personal mastery.

Despite the substantial expansion in vocabulary research since the 1980s, we still know very little about how vocabulary develops over time and what factors influence this development. This methodological overview discusses key issues and considerations in vocabulary breadth growth assessment to help advance research in this area. The report…

The role of top-down control in divergent creativity remains heavily debated. An outstanding question about the state dynamics of creativity concerns acute shifts between heightened and lowered creative states. Particularly, do transitions between creative states incur a "switch cost" as observed in other domains of cognition? Prior…

Flipped blended learning (FBL) has become popular in translator training, requiring teachers to adapt their beliefs and attitudes towards blended learning to design and implement professional training programmes. This study investigates the effects of FBL on competence improvement in translation technology education. Using an action research…

This investigation examines how Meta-Analysis Based Modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (Meta-UTAUT) model factors affect English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education's adoption of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL). SmartPLS 3.0 software processed and analyzed data from 396 online survey participants. The findings…

This case study combines Stephen Brookfield's Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ) and Tuckman's phases of small group development to study students' perception of teamwork within a humanities course. As the semester progressed and students' experiences within the team cycle evolved, their reliance towards direct teaching decreased and their…

As virtual learning gains traction as a viable alternative to traditional face-to-face instruction for middle school students, it is important to ensure the effectiveness of these learning environments, including incorporating social and emotional learning (SEL) strategies. This qualitative study explored the influence of SEL pedagogy on student…

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) contributed to over 20% of all bachelor's degrees earned by African American students. Since the 2019 pandemic, HBCUs have provided more online course offerings to their students. The continued success of HBCUs depends on their ability to grow with technology. This study examined the lived…

In this work, we study the feeling of membership in undergraduate students who interact with their higher education institution through a virtual environment. We explore the "Centro de Investigaciones en Diseño Industrial" (CIDI) case, in which a virtual environment was built using the Roblox platform to enhance the online experience…
