Purpose: Students' ability to self-regulate their learning and to learn effectively with peers are indicators of success in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. This study investigated whether peer learning helps to influence online learning satisfaction in the presence of self-regulated learning (SRL) as a mediating variable. Methodology:…

Purpose: Blended learning (BL) has been increasing in popularity and demand and has developed as a common practice in institutions of higher learning. Therefore, this study develops a model to evaluate the critical predictors that determine students' acceptance and deployment of BL in institutions of higher education based on the theory of planned…

In this dissertation, I argue that there is value in treating students as implementors during processes of educational innovation. I lay the groundwork for this argument through a review of literature comparing best practices in the implementation of innovations in higher education with best practices from active learning, blended learning, and…

Predicting learning and human behavior in general is a challenging endeavor. Machine learning driven predictive modeling have been an increasingly popular means to understand disparities in student performance. With more than a handful of approaches to predictive modeling, the current literature of predicting learning is plagued with issues such…

The purpose of this constructivist-grounded theory study was to develop effective pedagogical methods for effectively training teachers to establish meaningful blended learning face-to-face activities that kept students actively engaged. With the advancements in technology over the past few decades and the COVID 19 pandemic event of 2019-2020,…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand teacher perceptions of blended learning as an instructional methodology for addressing the needs of diverse learners.

In the last years, the interest of mathematics educators in digital tools has progressively increased, having as consequence a great impact on how teachers plan their teaching activities. In this paper we investigate, by using the Meta-Didactical Transposition, if the peer review methodology, carried out in a blended course, can facilitate the…

Flipped classroom is an approach that has been increasingly used in K-12 and higher education. Many studies on the flipped classroom have focused on student behaviors, with inadequate attention to student thinking, which is crucial to learning. Meanwhile, prior studies have examined the effects of visualization tools, such as concept map, on…

A student-choice model course redesign was used to counteract a large increase in student enrollment, improve the quality of instruction, and preserve student success. This model is an instructional technique that allows students to choose how to engage in a course. Using this model in a first-semester college-level general chemistry course,…

Most of the United Nations staff covered by this note work in remote, volatile areas and have limited access to face-to-face learning opportunities. The learning needs of these humanitarian workers have become increasingly diverse and dynamic. The use of webinars as a tool to address such needs has grown, but such use remains to be systematized…

Video-based flipped class instruction can strengthen the learning motivation of students. The effectiveness of flipped class instruction on teaching effectiveness and subject satisfaction has been evaluated previously. The present study aims to examine the impact of two aspects of subject reading motivation. A total of 100 secondary school…

The focus of the Technology Solutions for Adult Basic Skills Challenges column begins with common challenges facing adult basic skills practitioners, expressed, for example, in the LINCS Integrating Technology group for which I am the moderator, in other LINCS groups, in my national and state conference or webinar presentations, or privately in…

In this article, I consider Klein's scholarship as a foundation to examine the realities of interdisciplinary practice in higher education institutions, including questions of who engages in interdisciplinary work, how interdisciplinary work is supported, and how interdisciplinary work is organized. In discussing each of these issues, I underscore…

Student reading achievement is a concern throughout the City University of New York because it has shown to be a factor in their academic success in college. Students who do not achieve success in developmental reading either do not matriculate or drop out of college. The problem that this study will investigate is the instructional method in two…

This study used sequential exploratory, mixed-method research that explored the influence of authentic tasks on adult language learners' interactions in e-forums.
