The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a sudden shift to online teaching and learning in higher education institutions. This abrupt transition had a significant impact on both students and staff. In this article, the author discusses how three academics identified students who were experiencing digital poverty and implemented trauma-responsive…

Online and hybrid instruction as a response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presented specific challenges in geosciences due to the role of laboratory and field activities. We carried out a research study on student learning in undergraduate mineralogy at a large public research university in the United States over a 4-year period including…

Research into self-regulating capacity in vocabulary learning is recognized as a significant topic within the second language domain. The self-regulating capacity in vocabulary learning scale (SRCvoc; Tseng et al. 2006) is arguably the most widely used tool for assessing this construct. The common factor model, which is applied through…

Despite a proliferation of research on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and its applications in higher education (HE), our understanding of the transformative processes where students create productive and ethically grounded uses of GenAI and how AI mediates students' sensemaking is still limited. Based on an empirical investigation of…

This study explores the transformation of teaching and assessment methods in the context of media applications, particularly the rise of E-learning and blended teaching driven by rapid ICT advancements. These changes necessitate updates in teachers' teaching and assessment literacies to align with modern educational trends. This adaptation is…

AR-supported instruction has been verified to improve students' problem-solving skills. This study investigated 1041 university students and developed an empirical research model that combined technology acceptance, self-regulation, and AR-supported learning effectiveness with the structural equation model (SEM). At the same time, content analysis…

The TOEIC has emerged as the benchmark for assessing the English language proficiency and communication abilities of individuals whose first language is not English. Achieving a high score on this examination may prove challenging for them. While there have been numerous studies into metacognitive strategies towards reading comprehension, in the…

Background/purpose: This research explores the use of robotics to facilitate the learning of computer programming among non-specialist pre-service teachers with no prior programming experience. With the increasing demand for 21st-century teaching competencies, it is essential to equip future educators with computational thinking (CT) skills, even…

Lifelong learning has been associated with many benefits, from supporting work and careers to improving health and well being and increasing community engagement. Its importance is growing as longer life expectancy combines with a rapidly changing economy and society. However, participation in learning has fallen substantially since 2010 with…

This research aimed to develop and evaluate an innovative learning management model based on the local wisdom of the Lao Vieng community in Nakhon Nayok Province, to enhance community potential. The objectives were to 1) study the basic information on learning management innovations for local wisdom in the Lao Vieng community, 2) develop an…

This study explores engineering design students' perceptions of their agency for sustainability in a Danish problem- and project-based learning (PBL) context. A conceptual framework is proposed with three dimensions: personal, action, and contextual. Q methodology was adopted to investigate the subjective views of 24 first-year undergraduate…

The study looks at the case of a university language center in Japan that administers a compulsory English language course. To provide some level of standardization for the course, and to better meet the educational aims of the center, a content and language integrated learning (CLIL) teaching approach has been set as center policy. The research…

Problem-solving strategies are crucial in learning programming. Owing to their hidden nature, traditional methods such as interviews and questionnaires cannot reflect the details and differences of problem-solving strategies in programming. This study uses the Hidden Markov Model to detect and compare the problem-solving strategies of different…

This book investigates the effect of multisensory instruction on self-efficacy among students with developmental dyslexia learning English as a foreign language. The first three chapters of the book delve into theoretical aspects of developmental dyslexia, multisensory instruction, and self-efficacy, providing an overview of existing research in…

Academic institutions are increasingly adopting active learning methods to enhance educational outcomes. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated neurobiological differences between active learning and traditional lecture-based approaches in university physics education. Undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory…
