Despite critical thinking (CT) being a focal point in higher education, gaps remain in comprehending the psychological factors underlying the formation of CT disposition and its transition into actual CT behavior. To address the gap, we introduce a behavioral perspective to CT research that is based upon the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). We…

The benefits of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in enhancing second language (L2) learning are well established. However, these advantages can only be realised if learners are willing to adopt the technology. This study, grounded in the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), investigated the factors influencing the behavioural intention to…

Purpose: The online learning environment is a function of dynamic market forces constantly restructuring the e-learning landscape's complete ecosystemcape.
