Research on the instructional quality of private tutoring is scarce. Meanwhile, poor instructional quality may be a reason for the minimal or null effects of private tutoring on academic achievement reported in many studies. It is also not clear what makes a good private tutor. To fill in these gaps, the study examined whether the structure of…

This study investigated the role of co-teaching in the development of students' mathematics motivation and achievement. More specifically, we examined how sixth-grade students' (N = 146) mathematics self-concept and individual interest changed over one school year, how these changes were related to each other and to mathematics achievement, and,…

Instructors of post-secondary level courses sought novel ways of conveying content to a diversifying set of students. Likewise, the growth of computing and information technologies opened more avenues for instruction. Constructivist theories of education gained support in instructional efficacy. Instructors needed to balance the need of covering…

Background: Studies on the effectiveness of block-based environments continue to produce inconsistent results. A strong reason for this is that most studies compare environments that are not equivalent to each other or to the level of learners. Moreover, studies that present evidence of the effectiveness of block-based environments by comparing…

This paper focuses on an intersectional feminism approach to writing assignments in which students served as co-creators of knowledge engaged in the development of an open-access book titled "Motivation in Learning, Training, and Development: A Collection of Essays," while enrolled in the "Principles of Learner Motivation"…

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…

This study examined the improvement of mathematical problem-solving skills and learning motivation among students taught using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Augmented Reality (AR). It also investigated the interaction between the learning model and students' ability levels to enhance these skills and motivation. A…

The realities of modern music education have forced many educators and learners to look for new solutions to ensure a high-quality learning process. One of them is creating and integrating interactive music composition systems. This study aims to assess the impact of Lumanote, as an interactive music composition system, on piano students' skill…

This paper explores the application and efficacy of task-based teaching (TBT) methods within the context of internet-based distance learning for English, with a particular focus on integrating environmental education. Through an empirical study involving two groups of college students, the authors examine how TBT can enhance students' language…

In this dissertation, I will present social-cognitive frameworks that support the use of mental imagery for possible self enhancement; and articulate and evaluate a pedagogical intervention designed for the foreign language class. This intervention will allow students to explore and develop prominent and vivid mental representations (self-schemas)…

This paper illustrates the design-based learning (DBL) approach to promoting the deep learning of students and improving the quality of teaching in engineering design education. We performed three aspects of research with students in a typical educational activity. The first study investigated students' deep learning before and after the DBL…

Oral practice is challenging for foreign language education, and Corrective Feedback (CF) is often used to point out learners' pronunciation errors and to help them improve their oral skills in foreign language courses. CF is generally considered as a necessary condition for foreign language acquisition, and "reflection" and…

During the COVID-19 pandemic period, elementary school students experienced many learning difficulties, which resulted in decreased learning motivation. This study aimed to determine the effect of the 5e+Powtoon learning cycle learning model on learning motivation in science. This quasi-experimental research was conducted at public Elementary…

Blended learning combines online and traditional classroom instruction, aiming to optimize educational outcomes. Despite its potential, student engagement with online components remains a significant challenge. Gamification has emerged as a popular solution to bolster engagement, though its effectiveness is contested, with research yielding mixed…

Background: Inquiry-based learning (IbL) has significantly contributed to science education, and this impact can be enhanced with technology. Augmented Reality (AR) offers 3D visualisation and interactive experiences, whereas Video-based Learning (VbL) provides narratives with visual and audio support. Both methods aid students in exploring,…
