This systematic review sheds light on the role of ontologies in predicting achievement among online learners, in order to promote their academic success. In particular, it looks at the available literature on predicting online learners' performance through ontological machine-learning techniques and, using a systematic approach, identifies the…

With the rapid evolution of online learning, driven by technological advancements and the global transition to distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for effective instructional design models has become increasingly critical. This study conducted a systematic mapping analysis of instructional design models tailored for online…

This study investigated the relationship among e-learning readiness, learning engagement, and learning performance of preservice teachers in HyFlex learning environments. To identify the causal relationship, data collected from 776 preservice teachers at four universities in the Philippines were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM).…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 300,000 students in Peru dropped out of the school system. Most of the students were rural Indigenous students. A lack of infrastructure and connectivity, as well as a lack of contextualized and appropriate educational resources, made it virtually impossible for rural students to engage in formal learning.…

Experiments are considered to be essential components of science learning. This research aimed to investigate trends in the use of science experiments in online learning. A systematic literature review was carried out, with data sourced from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The reviewed documents were journal articles published between…

Learners' emotional engagement in synchronous online learning (SOL) is critical for improving learning persistence and performance. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of comprehensive and systematic reviews of emotional engagement in SOL. This review synthesizes the strategies to promote emotional engagement in SOL found in published…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) offer rich opportunities to comprehend learners' learning experiences by examining their self-generated course evaluation content. This study investigated the effectiveness of fine-tuned BERT models for the automated classification of topics in online course reviews and explored the variations of these topics…

Online learning in civic education (OLCE) has been going on since the 2000s. It has become an increasingly interesting topic in light of recent technological advances and emergencies, and it contributes to improving the quality of learning processes and outcomes. This study aimed to track the publication trends of OLCE in the Scopus database…

This study developed and validated the Turkish version of the Self-Directed Online Learning Scale (SDOLS-T) for assessing students' perceptions of their self-directed learning (SDL) ability in an online environment. Specifically, this study conducted in two stages multiple categorical confirmatory factor analyses factoring in the ordered…
