The meteoric rise in software and technology has altered the paradigm of information security and privacy. Classified information, stored earlier behind locked doors, is now stored on the internet on servers that can be accessed from anywhere on the globe. As a result of these advancements, we are now vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks are…

This study provides a current systematic review of emotional design research in the multimedia learning domain and explores how emotional design is studied in multimedia learning. All studies on emotional design in multimedia learning published until 2023 were examined thoroughly. In this study, 51 journal articles were identified based on PRISMA…

Students in STEM know well the stress, challenge, and effort that accompany college exams. As a widely recognizable feature of the STEM classroom experience, high-stakes assessments serve as crucial cultural gateways in shaping both preparation and motivation for careers. In this essay, we identify and discuss issues of power around STEM exams to…

This applied dissertation was designed to determine if cooperative learning strategies increased student engagement in a virtual elementary classroom. The purposes of this study were (a) to determine whether the implementation of cooperative learning strategies increased student engagement and (b) to explore student perceptions of engagement. In…

This article analyzes the relationship between self-regulated learning (SRL) and personal learning environments (PLE) in light of the educational academic literature of the decade 2010-2020. This study uses a systematized literature review followed by a qualitative analysis of the most cited literature to establish a narrative that highlights and…

Despite numerous studies about language learning strategies (LLSs), many learners still misunderstand their effectiveness, thinking they require too much effort for minimal gain. Additionally, students have varied and conflicting preferences for LLSs, and factors like cultural background influence their choices, indicating a need for more research…

No previous research has looked at the inclusion of teaching assistants (TAs) in competency-based education (CBE) at an online university to evaluate student satisfaction and success. A 12-month TA pilot program in an online undergraduate program sought to measure the positive impact on students' learning by surveying their satisfaction and…

The virtual interactive learning model using imagineering process as a tool to promote happy learning for digital age learners. The concept is based on the combination of virtual learning environment and metaverse in order to create learning experience via virtual community. The objectives of this research are (1) to study and synthesise the…

We study the ideas about teaching and learning mathematics that undergraduate students generate when they encounter tasks designed to embed approximations of teaching practice in mathematics courses taken by a general population of students. These tasks attend to the dual goals of developing an understanding of mathematics content and an…

Learning to calculate the area of composite shapes is an important application of area measurement but evidence suggests that many middle school students struggle to calculate the area of even simple composite shapes. In this article, I report the findings of a classroom design study conducted to investigate the collective development of…

Learning-support system is an umbrella term that we use for digital resources that assign students with mathematical questions and give automatic feedback on the inserted answers. Transitioning between questions and feedback is characteristic to students' work with such systems. We apply the commognitive framework to explore the role of…

Background: Many learners struggle to productively self-regulate their learning. To support the learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) and boost their achievement, it is essential to understand the cognitive and metacognitive processes that underlie SRL. To measure these processes, contemporary SRL researchers have largely utilized think aloud or…

The need to identify methods to support self-regulated learning has raised the interest of researchers in recent years. Cognitive prompts are considered very promising instructional tools for developing self-regulatory abilities. The present study aims to investigate the usefulness of several types of cognitive prompts in activating learning…

Preparatory learning tasks are considered critical for student success in flipped classroom courses. However, less is known regarding which learning strategies students use and when they use those strategies in a flipped classroom course. In this study, we aimed to address this research gap. In particular, we investigated mutual connections…

In recent years, there has been considerable growth in evidence that open-ended, challenging, and autobiographical tasks may provide better opportunities to evidence how young children exhibit metacognition and self-regulation. This research examines possible differences in children's metacognition and self-regulation between two ecological valid…
