This article offers a new definition, conceptual model, and design considerations for student engagement in community service. This new approach draws on 2 years of cross-sector, intergenterational research among students, scholars, educators, community stakeholders, and service organizations. The article provides actionable insights for student…

Blood pressure regulation keeps us alive, yet its underlying mechanisms often remain abstract for students. Heart rate, stroke volume, vascular resistance, and compliance interact continuously to shape arterial pressure, but in many classrooms, these variables feel disconnected from observable outcomes. To bridge this gap, we developed a simple,…

This research is aimed at examining the effects of developing research competencies to enhance the current learning of student teachers at Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University. This study focuses on participants before, during, and after the implementation of the proposed model. The sample consists of 35 fourth-year students enrolled in the Bachelor…

In this study, we applied multilevel piecewise linear regression with a random-effects model under a Bayesian estimation framework to a total of 5,072 7th grade students in 35 schools to search for an optimum time in terms of the effect of homework time on student academic achievement. First, we found a nonlinear relationship between time spent on…

Background/purpose: This study examines the behavioral factors influencing the adoption of AI-powered generative technologies in higher education and their impact on students' cognitive engagement--a crucial element of sustainable, inclusive, and high-quality learning, as envisioned by UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4).

This study explores how the Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) framework can align with the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP) in Jesuit schools by employing a mixed-methods research design that combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected through a researcher-made interview guide and the TIPACK (Technological,…

Background: High-quality feedback is crucial for academic success, driving student motivation and engagement while research explores effective delivery and student interactions. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly natural language processing (NLP), offer innovative methods for analyzing complex qualitative data such as feedback…

Background: In professional contexts, engineers use engineering judgment to create mathematical models. Despite the importance of judgment in professional practice, the development and enactment of engineering judgment by engineering students are understudied. To better prepare students for engineering careers, there is a need to recognize and…

B. F. Skinner's work in the field of verbal behaviour represented a movement of global significance. However, in today's age, even those who appreciate its profound importance in the archives of psychology accept that it did not sufficiently account for complex human language. Recent advances in psychological science have led to the emergence of a…
