This study aimed to build a model to detect the factors to enhance student engagement and learning development in mobile learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Data from a total of 400 junior-high-school students were collected in China in the fall semester of 2020, and a large proportion of students preferred accessing their study with cellphones…

COVID-19 changed the course of education. There had to be a way to adequately provide educational services to students in a safe and effective manner. Most school districts chose blended learning, to be referred to in this study as BL, as the best solution. This qualitative study was framed Siemens and Downes' learning theory of connectivism…

The education system in the United States has historically scored low among countries across the globe. The Nation's Report Card, created by the National Assessment of Educational Progress [NAEP], showed that the proficiency in math for students decreased as they matriculated through school: Grade 4 -- 41%, Grade 8 -- 34%, and Grade 12 -- 24%…

Organizational learning has been studied and researched as a construct for organizational improvement. Although its definitions are varied, scholars continue to integrate its use through various disciplinary approaches. It has been studied at the organizational level, but not as much research has taken place at the individual level where…

While evidence suggests PBL teachers' roles support higher student learning outcomes, there was a general lack of data that explores how PBL teachers describe their roles in teaching (Kaplan & Garner, 2017; Leng et al., 2018). The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how high school teachers, who used project-based…

The effect of gamified elements among adult learners in online post-secondary education classrooms is essential to determining the needs of each learner and if they vary from generation to generation and affect their playful experience and academic success. The gap in research exists as this is yet to be determined. The research questions tested…

This article presents a semester-long, interdisciplinary project-based learning (PBL) suitable for secondary and postsecondary students enrolled in a second-semester (i.e., intermediate) meteorology course. This case-study approach builds on the research question "What atmospheric conditions lead to tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds…

The primary aim of this research study was to examine the impact of informal digital English learning, facilitated by various online sources such as educational content, entertainment content, and socialisation content, on students' motivation to acquire English as a second language and their general attitude towards the process of learning…

The quality of interaction is an essential factor leading to learner satisfaction, academic achievement, learner engagement, and a positive attitude toward distance education. The purpose of this study is to examine different types of interactions within online kinesiology courses. Adopting a multiple case study design with a mixed-methods…

The past decades have seen an explosion of research using electrophysiological or neuroimaging techniques for studying the neurocognitive underpinnings of second language (L2) processing. Although this field has a shorter history than does research on language learning more generally, important insights into the neurocognitive basis of L2…

This conceptual study examines the challenges involved in a new context of postgraduate education that emphasizes timely degree completion, skill development and employability, while still seeking to uphold a commitment to a genuine education ('Bildung'). Findings from two recent empirical studies set the scene for this inquiry since they raise…

Prior research suggests the interdependent nature of prospective teachers (PTs) beliefs about mathematics and beliefs about teaching and learning mathematics. Further, PTs' beliefs are said to be shaped by their prior experiences as mathematics learners. Using structural equation modeling, we assessed the relation between early childhood and…

For 27 years, the Adult Participation in Learning Survey has provided a unique insight into adult learning across the UK. It adopts a deliberately broad definition of learning, reflecting the fact that learning is about much more than formal courses and qualifications. The 2023 survey shows almost one in two adults took part in learning in the…

To better understand the self-regulated learning process in online learning environments, this research applied a data mining method, the two-layer hidden Markov model (TL-HMM), to explore the patterns of learning activities. We analyzed 25,818 entries of behavior log data from an intelligent tutoring system. Results indicated that students with…

This paper presents the design of an innovative platform to support teachers' personalized learning related to teaching statistics and data science in grades 6-12 (http://instepwithdata.org). Through a study of 32 pilot users, the authors describe how teachers utilized supports such as personalization surveys, tracking of progress on a dashboard,…
