Motivation and instruction are two major substantive domains in educational psychology. Theory and research relevant to each of these domains tend to be diffuse and fragmented. This presents challenges for scholars and practitioners seeking to implement parsimonious and cohesive approaches to help students to learn. This review articulates a…

Based on the learning organization theory the main purpose of this research is to discuss how demographics variables affect the learning organization disciplines perception in faculty members of higher education institutes (HEIs) of Pakistan. This study explores that how demographic variables affect the learning organization disciplines perception…

Cognitive load theory has been in development since the 1980s. Much of the impetus for that development has come from firstly, replication failures using randomised controlled trials and secondly, from the incorporation of other theories into cognitive load theory. Both have led to theory expansion. The immediate cause of the so-called…

This article describes four emerging theoretical approaches in transformative learning (TL). Elaborations of existing theories, descriptions of new theories, and analyses of TL processes are reviewed. Implications for understanding key TL concepts of experience, reflection, dialogue, disorientation, self, agency, autonomy, and time are discussed…

This study is a meta-analytical examination of the relationships between academic achievement, motivation, and self-directed learning. It aims to review scientific studies investigating how self-directed learning readiness relates to both motivation and academic achievement to find a common effect level and to synthesize the study results.…

The creation of applications based on tangible interaction (TI) applications, particularly on tabletops, is a developing area that requires the collaboration of professionals with expert knowledge in specific domains. Having an authoring tool that facilitates interdisciplinary intervention in the design and implementation of such applications is a…

Background: Deep learning methods, where models do not use explicit features and instead rely on implicit features estimated during model training, suffer from an explainability problem. In text classification, saliency maps that reflect the importance of words in prediction are one approach toward explainability. However, little is known about…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a model of knowledge legitimation in organizational learning focusing on the relationship between power politics and legitimacy. Design/methodology/approach: This study adopts the approach of a conceptual discussion. Findings: This study developed an organizational learning model that explains how…

At Villanova University, with approximately 11,000 students enrolled across six colleges and a law school, generating ways to engage faculty in assessment professional development can be challenging, particularly for an institution with a decentralized assessment system. During faculty interactions, it is often heard that faculty dislike attending…

Social presence is an important concept for understanding psychosocial processes in learning scenarios that make extensive use of mediated communication like online distance learning. Despite this centrality, a coherent and nuanced theory of social presence is yet to emerge from the literature. Past research has shown associations with desirable…

The study of learning behaviors with multi features is of great significance for interactive cooperation. The data prediction and decision are to realize the comprehensive analysis and value mining. In this study, hierarchical learning behavior based on feature cluster is proposed. Based on the massive data in interactive learning environment, the…

This dissertation contributed to ongoing conversations about reflection and writing transfer. This study was guided by a main research question: How might asking students to reflect collaboratively, rather than individually, about their writing, help them make connections between first-year writing and other contexts? While other scholars have…

Genotyping real alleles in real people is an excellent way to connect abstract genetics concepts to human variation in the classroom; however, these activities can inadvertently promote misconceptions of the power of genetics to determine individual and group traits. By analyzing our own and others' experiences of genotyping activities in the…

The application of information technology is ubiquitous in our work and learning, and information technology causes tremendous changes to workplace learning. This systematic review aims to summarize the roles and impacts of information technology on workplace learning. This study is guided by the following three research questions: What are the…

This article presents the findings of a case study that introduced online quizzes as a form of assessment in pure mathematics. Rather than being designed as an assessment of learning, these quizzes were designed to be an assessment for learning; they aimed to academically support students in their transition from A-Level mathematics to…
