This literature review explores the impact of music on tonal language learning, with a focus on Mandarin Chinese. Utilising searches across major databases such as ERIC (EBSCO), ProQuest Central, Google Scholar, and Web of Science from 2005 to 2024, we selected relevant peer-reviewed English-language articles examining music's role in aiding tone…

In this study, we explore the use of analogies with classical physics in introductory quantum physics (QP) teaching. This work is part of a larger project in which a learning sequence covering three introductory QP topics was designed, tested, and evaluated in collaboration with high school teachers and physics education researchers. Based on the…

The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of multimedia integrated CIRC learning management plan on grade 2 students' spelling ability. The research employed a one-group experimental design in which a learning management plan based on CIRC principles, with the integration of multimedia, was used as the main intervention. The…

Students with disabilities often face significant challenges in developing mathematical problem-solving skills, which are critical for academic success. Traditional problem-solving interventions have primarily focused on skill acquisition, leading to issues with knowledge application in real-world contexts. Enhanced Anchored Instruction (EAI)…

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the use of multimedia resources on vocabulary learning in English as a foreign language, and the secondary objective was to verify the influence of additional verbal workingmemory training. Following a quantitative approach, a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study was performed…

This study aimed to explore adolescent second language (L2) writers' composition across media (text-based writing and digital multimodal composing). The goal was to investigate how and under what conditions these writers used semiotic resources when they engaged in both text-based writing and digital multimodal composing. Grounded in the concept…

In this study, the authors examined the impact of irrelevant visual images in a PowerPoint lecture on attention and information retention performance. They found students viewing text-only PowerPoint slides retained less information than students viewing text-and-image slides, but the difference did not reach significance. However, when examining…

Based on the knowledge generation model for visual analytics including uncertainty propagation and human trust building (Sacha et al. 2016), the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (Mayer, 2014), the multimedia principle (Butcher, 2014), and previous studies on the effects of different uncertainty visualization styles, an integrated…

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Problem Based Learning (PBL) with the support of Prezi media on scientific literacy and independence. The research design used was quasi-experimental in nature. The sample of this study consisted of 59 fourth grade students. Data were collected using a test and a questionnaire. The instruments…

Audio-visual texts play a vital role in FL instruction. Numerous publications point to their benefits to reach communicative and cultural learning goals. However, there is only limited empirical insight into how the medium's multimodal resources are used in the context of FL learning. To understand how elementary-level learners of German engage…

Lecture recording is an increasingly common practice in UK universities, whereby audio, video, and multimedia content from lecture theatres can be captured and distributed online. Despite a large body of recent lecture capture literature, much of the empirical research adopts positivist paradigms, which overlooks the complex and unpredictable…

Online courses have become widespread in higher education. Yet, despite their prevalence, they may not suit all learners. Personality influences learner satisfaction and therefore affects learning experience. This study explores the relation between personality traits (using Costa & McCare's Big-Five model) and student satisfaction with…

Purpose: This paper aims to examine unexpected arrivals of adult-oriented digital media in the playful storied environments of Grades 1 and 2 classrooms and the possibilities such unsettling literacies may offer. Design/methodology/approach: Posthuman perspectives provide this study's theoretical grounding and methodological approach.…

Javanese language is a national culture that needs to be protected and preserved to not lose its identity. In the Javanese script, education includes writing and reading skills starting from elementary school. This study was motivated by the difficulty of understanding Javanese script material in the classroom. This study aims to determine the…

Organic reaction trajectories show atomic motion and molecular reorganization of reactants during a single product-forming collision. iORA is a free (available from the Apple App Store), easy to use, highly interactive iPhone application that provides on-the-fly 3Drendering of organic reaction trajectories calculated with density functional theory…
