The application of learning models is one of the things that must be considered in the learning process in the classroom. This study aims to determine the effect of the cooperative learning model type STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division) on motivation to learn Mathematics in class VIII students of SMP 2 Mlati Yogyakarta. The research design…

Personalized problem selection enhances student practice in tutoring systems. Prior research has focused on transparent problem selection that supports learner control but rarely engages learners in selecting practice materials. We explored how different levels of control (i.e., full AI control, shared control, and full learner control), combined…

Assessment of Motivation to learn (MtL) is challenging in the diverse populations. Commonly used method (i.e., exact invariance test) may not be suitable for companions of many subgroups. This study employed an alignment optimization method (a.k.a., approximate invariance test) and data of the working age (25-65 years old) U.S. adults (n = 5,509)…

This paper explores the concept of self-efficacy and its impact on individual performance on a mobile learning application. Self-efficacy refers to one's belief in their ability to achieve their goals and is a key factor in everyday life. To investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and performance, we conducted an experiment with 104…

This study investigated how friendship selection and socialization mechanisms are associated with similarities in school engagement of adolescents' reciprocal best friendship, with relative motivation of dyads as potential moderators. We used the actor-oriented interdependence models to examine selections effects for newly formed friendship dyads…

This study aims to understand a middle school mathematics teacher's instruction and reflections on her experiences with supplementary curricular materials enriched with interactive simulations--PhET interactive simulations (sims) and sim-based materials--over two years. We conceptualize Linda's (pseudonym) teaching in terms of both thinking and…

Learners' achievements, motivation, and emotional states are closely linked to the roles and effectiveness of their teachers, while several challenges in foreign language classrooms hinder teacher efficacy. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to offer substantial solutions by addressing individual student needs, expectations, and…

This study examined the influence of motivation and online self-regulation on students' online learning satisfaction. A sample of 1649 middle school students participated in the study. The findings suggested that online self-regulation and motivation played a driving role in students' online learning satisfaction and that motivation indirectly…

Concept-based physical education emphasizes knowledge necessary for a physically active life. Within this context, the way students conceptualize "learning" in physical education can have a profound influence on the learning process and learning outcomes. This study attempted to identify 9th-grade students' conceptions of learning in a…

This meta-analysis study aims to explore the game-based learning (GBL) effects on students' learning motivation and academic achievement in K-12 science education. Recently GBL has been broadly used for students with low learning motivation because the dynamic learning activities in computer games could provide benefits for K-12 education. We…

This study explores how first-year seminar (FYS) instructors at four-year institutions in New England create meaningful adult learning environments for traditional-aged college students and apply adult learning principles. The research examines classroom practices and teaching philosophies using qualitative methods grounded in andragogy and…

Students need critical thinking skills to develop their ideas in mathematics learning situations at school, and they can apply mathematical concepts in solving contextual problems. Junior high school students have unique characteristics and are highly curious about new knowledge. Therefore, it is crucial to apply the learning models that support…

Whether an adult is motivated or unmotivated to learn depends on the actual learning experience. To further our understanding of English as a second language (ESL) learners and their language learning experience, this paper delves into the intricate realm of learning resistance. Ultimately, we seek to provide a comprehensive perspective on…

Despite working towards a common vision for teacher preparation, newer teachers experience successes and challenges in their teaching. This study investigated the experiences of three third year teachers to identify what they found successful or challenging in their teaching. Findings indicated that successes or challenges were contextually…

Engagement can be described as students' tendency to work productively, think deeply, enjoy and value their learning, and to support each other in the process of learning (ZDM article). Each of these dimensions can be indexed by a variety of psychologically validated constructs such as interest and enjoyment, self-regulation, effort, emotional…
