This research studies on the e-learning services acceptance in higher education institutions in Brunei Darussalam. This research has seven hypotheses, relating to independent, intermediary, and dependent variables. The independent variables include lecturer's characteristics, design of learning contents, teaching materials, and playfulness; while…

Recent research on individual differences in object cognition (OC) focused on determining how objects group together, and what type of processing lies behind the clusters--a single domain-general or multiple domain-specific processes. The expertise hypothesis suggests that all object categories are processed by the same mechanism that is…

The purpose of this study was to examine how K to 12 teachers defined the concept of text complexity within the context of materials selection. Using a tripartite definition of text complexity as our benchmark, we found that a majority of participants were unable to adequately define the concept of text complexity. Teachers who were able to define…

The full potential of e-learning, a trend that is of growing importance lately, will not be reaped unless the users fully utilize the system, triggering extensive research to be conducted in order to provide valuable insight on a myriad of variables influencing user acceptance in e-learning systems. The main purpose of the study is to determine…

Remedial/developmental and introductory university mathematics courses have a long history of high attrition rates. Recently, university administration and mathematics departments have been considering technological solutions, and one such solution is computer-adaptive-instruction (CAI). In fact, CAI has been touted as a "silver bullet"…

The aim of this study is to understand how students accept an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) in terms of the Technology Acceptance Model. For this study, a web-based intelligent tutoring system was used by 38 university students for four weeks. Fifteen randomly selected students participated in two semi-structured focus group interviews which…

Binary operation is one of the main topics of undergraduate mathematics. A binary operation is also used as a foundation for other disciplines such as physics, chemistry and biology. This study aims to describe the conceptual knowledge level of pre-service mathematics teachers regarding binary operation. In order to achieve this, a test consisting…

Conventional coordinate systems are often considered representational tools for reasoning about mathematical concepts. However, researchers have shown that students experience persistent difficulties as they engage in graphing activity. Using examples from research and textbooks, we present a framework based on a conceptual analysis of the use of…

Using mixed-effects regression, we analyzed teachers' responses to a multimedia survey of instructional practices in posing proof problems in geometry. Teachers described and rated for appropriateness three different ways of involving students in deciding what to prove, including one in which the teacher chooses the givens and the conclusion to…

This study sought to scaffold administration performance of a standardized bilingual screener to sufficient levels of accuracy for data collection using principles of Cognitive Load Theory by managing task complexity when training pre-service clinicians. Before training administration skills, two students were given copies of the manual for the…

The importance of students being acquainted with algebraic ideas before secondary education has been revealed in the research literature. It is therefore essential that prospective elementary teachers (PTs) be prepared to instill an early algebra perspective in their teaching. However, PTs often show difficulties in algebra content knowledge,…

This study reports on students' acceptance of Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle as e-Learning system at the University of Education, Winneba. The participants of the study were 392 undergraduate students purposively selected from the Department of Integrated Science Education. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) instrument which has four…

British Council for East Asia reported that the level of English competency of Indonesian pupils in primary and secondary education in English lessons and other scientific disciplines was very concerning. They did not use English as Medium Instruction (EMI) in Science class well. Besides, pupils need to have English communication skills in the…

The researchers conducted a qualitative case study to describe the experiences of two seventh grade students with mild intellectual disability as they engaged in mathematics word problems involving proportions. The researchers analyzed student performance in large group settings and with individualized instruction to gain perspective on the…

Intro: In this survey the academic performance of primary and secondary school students in Greece, for three consecutive school years, was examined. The data concerned all Greek students of the last two grades of elementary school and the three grades of junior high school. Method: Unsupervised learning methods such as an X-means algorithm in…
