Mastering the visually complex characters of the Chinese language poses significant challenges for students. The situation is even worse in Hong Kong, where students with different backgrounds, including students with/without dyslexia and non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students, are placed in the same class. Interactive design has been proven…

In the first part, we investigate Birman, Ko, and Lee's left canonical form of a braid and give a new diagrammatic approach. We use the left canonical form to characterize almost strongly quasipositive braids. In the second part, we investigate students' confidence in mathematics and problem solving skills. Every math instructor has heard students…

In the flipped classroom, students engage in preparatory activities to study the course materials prior to attending teacher-guided sessions. Students' success in the flipped classroom is directly related to their preparation and students tend to change their preparation activity over time. Few studies have investigated why students change their…

In an increasingly data-driven world, statistical literacy is a necessity yet statistical learning is often inhibited by statistics anxiety. Using the Auzmendi Scale to Measure Attitude toward Statistics (ASMAS), this study examines how statistics anxiety in university students is related to other dimensions of their attitudes toward statistics…

The emergence of innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as ChatGPT, which was just released in November 2022, has the potential to significantly transform the current state of education. Put another way, learning is changing as a result of chatbots' personalized assistance, group discussions and collaborations, evaluations of…

Following the continuous reform and innovation of classroom teaching methods and pedagogy in higher education, the support provided by traditional classrooms for new classes seems to be insufficient. Empirical exploration into the impact of learning spaces on student learning motivation, particularly in terms of how and to what extent, has been…

Students' valuing of academic content impacts their engagement in learning and plays a pivotal role in shaping their future academic and career choices. Fortunately, practicing educators can integrate many readily applicable strategies into teaching to enhance students' valuing of academic content. Drawing from expectancy-value theory, Eric M.…

Background: Emotional design of multimedia lessons involves adding features that are intended to increase learner enjoyment and promote learning--such as adding narrative, anthropomorphizing non-human elements, and using warm colours. Objective: The present study extends this work to examine the potential of Japanese animation (anime) for…

Two metacognitive knowledge types in deductive domains are procedural and conditional. This work presents a preliminary study on the impact of metacognitive knowledge and motivation on transfer across two Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs), then two experiments on metacognitive knowledge instruction. Throughout this work, we trained students on a…

A good knowledge of the theoretical foundations of medicine helps students and physicians to better recognize and treat patients with complex medical conditions, including sepsis and septic shock. The article describes the authors' experience in implementing the analysis of sepsis and septic shock using a high-fidelity simulated clinical scenario…

This case study explored the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), specifically chat generative pretraining transformer (ChatGPT), in writing scenarios for scenario-based learning (SBL). Our research addressed three key questions: 1) how do teachers leverage GenAI to write scenarios for SBL purposes? 2) what is the quality of…

If oral communication in a second language (L2) is considered a skill to be prioritized, it is also particularly anxiety-provoking for L2 learners. This is why their willingness to communicate, predicted in particular by the emotions experienced, has been the focus of recent studies to examine its evolution and factors likely to interact with it.…

In recent years, music education has seen a decline in the number of students choosing to continue their studies at Key Stage 4 (14- to 16-year-old students) and choose music as a GCSE option in England. Whilst the English Baccalaureate (EBacc), a school performance measure which excludes the arts, has come under much scrutiny as to its impact on…

The study aims to probe the roles of learning desire and persistence in influencing Gen Z learners' continuance intention of using YouTube for learning in digital learning context. Building upon prior research, a research framework with 10 hypotheses was proposed and empirically tested by using Partial Least Squares Structure Equation Modelling…

This study addresses the pressing relevance of implementing distance learning technology in the Republic of Kazakhstan across various educational levels, guided by the framework of legal regulation. The study aims to investigate the benefits of using diverse distance learning technologies in modern education, improving access, motivation, and…
