The distributed practice effect suggests that students retain learning content better when they pace their practice over time. The key factors are practice dosage (intensity) and timing (when to practice and how in between). Inspired by the thriving development of image recognition, this study adopts one of the successful techniques,…

Background: Traditional face-to-face instruction swiftly transitioned into online learning during the global COVID-19 outbreak. Students' experiences and academic performance in this new learning platform need evaluation. Purpose: The purpose of this research was to determine the undergraduate nursing students' stress, satisfaction, and academic…

This mixed-methods case study aimed to explore absenteeism and attendance expectations in Caufield, a pseudonym for a New England school district that facilitated an overnight one-to-one technology distribution in response to COVID-19.

In this paper, it is aimed to evaluate different aspects of students' response time to items in the mathematics test and their test effort as an indicator of test motivation with the help of some variables at the item and student levels. The data consists of 4th-grade Singapore and Turkish students participating in the TIMSS 2019. Response time…

This study explores the potential of using screen time data in learning management systems (LMS) to estimate student learning time (SLT) and validate the credit value of courses. Gathering comprehensive data on actual student learning time is difficult, so this study uses LMS Moodle logs from a computer programming course with 490 students over 16…

Digital art-making tends to foreground the inclusion of ready-made images in children's art.
