This research aims to design three educational programmes based on blended learning delivery to students attending the "introduction to educational technology" course. Each programme differs in its blending proportion between traditional and e-learning. The objective is to determine the most suitable blending ratio between the two…

Through the use of existing grade and student survey data, this study investigated online courses offered at a public four-year university. Specifically, the study explored differences in student success rates between online and face-to-face courses for traditional undergraduate students as well as the climate of student perceptions towards online…

An intensive course in heat transfer was created for the winter break between semesters to provide students with a "second chance" to learn the material and receive a grade of C- or better required to take the subsequent courses in the chemical engineering curriculum. It includes on-line and in-person instruction. Over the three years…

Before the 2020-21 school year, educators, policymakers, and parents confronted the stark and uncertain trade-offs implied by the health, educational, and economic consequences of offering instruction remotely, in person, or through a hybrid of the two. Most public schools in the U.S. chose remote-only instruction and enrollment fell dramatically…

The college experience involves much more than credit hours and degrees. Students likely derive utility from in-person instruction and on-campus social activities. Quantitative measures of the value of these individual components have been hard to come by. Leveraging the COVID-19 shock, we elicit students' intended likelihood of enrolling in…

The paradigm shift from traditional didactic instruction to technology-enriched teaching and learning environments significantly benefits learners. Educational technology can visualize abstract mathematical concepts contextually and graphically and allow learners to actively construct this knowledge. This study aims to ascertain the efficacy of a…

Situated in China and under the context of curriculum reform, this project is an effort to combine long-time separate research streams in language teaching and learning studies: the history-in-person perspective (Holland & Lave, 2001) and the discourse analysis perspective (Cazden, 1988). Informed by the concepts of…

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of traditional training compared to technology-based rich media training and the results upon course dissemination and completion corresponding course indicators, reaction, learning, and behavioral change quantified using Kirkpatrick's four-level training evaluation model. The study aims to…

The main objective of the study was to determine Pre-service Chemistry Teachers' (PCTs) understanding of isomerism related concepts of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons (AHs). To get in-depth picture of PCTs understanding on isomerism related concepts of AHs, case study was employed. The sample for this study consisted of twelve participants selected from 87…

This article presents a large-scale longitudinal study of hundreds of students across the state of Kentucky that participated in a dual-focus mathematics intervention initiative when they were in the third grade. Rather than an exclusive focus on intervention, this initiative focused on both (i) high quality pull-out intervention and (ii)…

Flipped learning has become a popular approach for supporting higher education, but less is known about its link with the learners' emotions, which are known to play an important role in science education. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of the flipped learning approach on students' learning emotions. This research…

This study analyzes empirical evidence that compared face-to-face and online education. A meta-analysis points to various gaps in research, including how policy and curriculum development should be guided in this fast-moving education medium. Significant gaps remain, especially in the area of adaptability of both faculty and students to various…

Student motivation is widely recognized as a positive influence on engagement and learning in higher education. This study tested the structural relationships between motivational regulation strategies (MRSs) and engagement moderated by academic level (undergraduate and graduate) and learning environment (classroom and online). A total of 252…

Background: High school students have few physical education (PE) and health requirements for graduation. Twenty-first century students have choices to take their PE and health courses in the traditional face-to-face (F2F) setting or online through accredited virtual schools. The purpose of this inquiry was to examine differences in high school…

The present study scrutinized Iranian EFL learners' mode of learning (distance vs. conventional) as a probable source of bias in employing cognitive and metacognitive reading comprehension strategies. To this end, a total of 514 Iranian distance and conventional EFL learners were asked to take a 30-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test…
