This study proposes a teaching model called "flipped classroom combined with group awareness" (FC+GA) to address the challenge of student preparedness in a traditional flipped classroom (FC) model setting. The FC+GA model incorporates group awareness tools, which provide visual information such as statistical tables and graphs, that…

Recent studies have shown contradictory results on the influence of digital technology on the level of reading comprehension performance in college students. This paper examines the existence of differences in reading comprehension between the use of digital technology and traditional support in college students. A meta-analysis of international…

This study explores the integration of multiple sign systems within the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading curriculum for undergraduates in Taiwan, addressing varied learning styles that are often overlooked by conventional curricular methods. The purpose is to investigate how incorporating semiotics can enhance learning engagement and…

This study investigated the effectiveness of metacognitive strategy (MS) instruction on listening comprehension and metacognitive awareness among low-proficiency EFL learners in Taiwan. Using a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, the research involved 95 first-year university students divided into an experimental group (EG) that received MS…

Research highlights the importance of cultural competence in occupational therapy (OT) education and practice, as emphasized by both student and practitioner perspectives. Previous studies in nursing and occupational therapy posit that short-term study abroad programs, supported by adequate faculty guidance, can significantly improve cultural…

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between knowledge absorptive capacity, listening, and multiple intelligences. Data were collected and analyzed from 79 students at Tainan First Boys' School and Anping Junior High School. An experimental design was implemented, dividing participants into two groups: a didactic instruction group and…

Purpose: Guided by the model of domain learning theory, this study was intended to determine the extent to which integrating a 10-min physical activity (PA) break in elementary school mathematics lessons would enhance the learning of mathematics content. Methods: A sample of 22 intact classes from a random sample of eight schools in Taiwan were…

With a conviction that general education should play a significant role in fostering the positive development of university students' character, several educators integrated various activities that could contribute to such development into general education courses in a technical university in Taiwan. This study surveyed the takers and non-takers…

Demonstrating higher-order thinking skills is crucial for thriving in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment. In science education, inquiry-based learning has increasingly been recognized as a potent approach to stimulate students' higher-order thinking skills. While prior research has shown evidence of its positive…

This study designed a digital teaching game named Kitties' Magic Journey (KMJ). The principle of leveraging in the course of natural technology and life was used as the teaching subject. The game combined design items included animation, narrative story, fun and usability, which integrated ARCS learning motivation theory. The experimental group…

Background Study: Asynchronous online discussions are vital venues for collaborative knowledge construction. However, the lack of appropriate instruction designs poses challenges in promoting deep and substantive engagement with the core subject matter. This paper explores how to enhance adult students' knowledge construction in the context of…

This study has separated into two stages. In the first stage, we interview with nine students and discover three crucial elements, perceived ease of learning, enjoyment, and useful knowledge, which will affect students' learning attitude. Then we develop a series of gamification curricula for those learners. In the second stage, we adopt…

This study explored the influence of using Curriculum-Based Readers Theater (CBRT) on promoting 12 sixth graders' oceanic knowledge and vocabulary learning in an elementary school in Taiwan. Based on the analysis of both quantitative (oceanic knowledge tests and vocabulary knowledge tests) and qualitative data (interviews, videos, and…

This systematic literature review presents a review of the effects of integrated language arts, science and technology (ILS&T) instruction, with an inquiry- or design-based pedagogy, in elementary schools on student achievement. To this end, an overview of the characteristics of the 19 included studies and their interventions is first…

The purpose of this research was to design a course based on the design-based learning (DBL) model to improve undergraduates' web design skills, and to explore the differences in learning effectiveness of students with different levels of knowledge integration. The quasi-experimental design was adopted in this study. Ninety-two participants…
