Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is expected to create a greater sense of presence that might improve students' laboratory learning experiences. However, little research has verified the influence of presence on students' perceptions toward immersive laboratory learning. The current study, which is based on the expectation confirmation model,…

R. Goldring and Taie (2018) found that there was a national turnover rate of 18% among principals during the 2015-16 academic year. Previous research has also revealed that as many as 50% of new principals do not stay in their positions beyond their third year (Fuller & Young, 2009; School Leaders Network, 2014). This high turnover highlights…

Training of self-regulated learning is most effective if it supports learning strategies in combination with metacognitive regulation, and learners can transfer their acquired metacognitive regulation skills to different tasks that require the use of the same learning strategy (near transfer). However, whether learners can transfer metacognitive…
