The CoI framework, widely recognized as a leading theoretical model for constructivist-based technology-enhanced learning, has attracted increasing attention from researchers. The abrupt shutdown caused by the pandemic has increased this interest by shifting traditional teaching to online instruction globally, even until now. Scholars in TESL/TEFL…

This article investigates the pedagogical and instructional design process of a hybrid course in preservice teacher education. Guided by the Community of Inquiry (COI) framework, the course design aimed to foster social, cognitive, and teaching presence in a hybrid learning environment. A narrative self-study approach was employed to reflect on…

Recent developments have led institutions into a transition towards more flexible educational models, such as synchronous hybrid education, i.e., having both on-site and remote students at the same time or multi-access education also providing asynchronous access. It is assumed that these new models can enhance accessibility for learners with…

This article uses digital traces to help identify students' online learning strategies by making a clear distinction between the descriptive features (the proportional distribution of students' different online learning actions) and quantitative aspects (the total number of the online learning sessions), a distinction that has not been properly…

The research described in this paper focused on the issue of describing and understanding how mathematical discussion develops in a hybrid learning environment, and how students participate in it. The experimental plan involved several classes working in parallel, with pupils and teachers interacting both in their real classrooms and in a digital…

Hundreds of thousands of public and private schools have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To better help this group of teachers during the pandemic, SHAPE America -- the professional national organization for health and physical education teachers -- came together to create and provide physical education teachers with reentry…

This paper reports a study of students' use of Desire2Learn (D2L), a learning management system in hybrid classes that had more asynchronous online learning than face-to-face meetings. The participants in the study accessed D2L using a computer browser, mobile browser and the mobile learning management system (m-LMS) app, Brightspace Pulse. The…

Higher education has experienced a frenzy of change in the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The agitation of shifting traditional face-to-face classes entirely online, followed by repositioning to blended instruction, forced institutions to transform classrooms and purchase adaptable learning technologies within weeks. Faculty were…

COVID-19 has "taught" universities worldwide that using digital technologies to support purely online or blended learning is a survival strategy. This lesson plus the inclusion of technology in continental, national, and university policies and strategic plans implicate significant technology integration, especially blended learning, in…

A rudimentary level of scientific literacy is necessary in the general public. At the undergraduate level, this literacy can be achieved through general education courses offered in areas of natural sciences. Over the past several years, practical courses have been developed to make the teaching of chemistry concepts in the laboratory more…

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, educational institutions are currently in need of alternative learning methods. The current study discusses the impact of the flipped and blended methods of instruction on students' creative thinking skills in comparison to the traditional instructional method. A quasi-experimental approach was used to assess three…

This study investigated the effect of the blended learning method enriched by material development in the elementary school social studies courses on students' academic achievement and explored their views towards this model. In this study, information communication technologies (ICT) and manual tools were used together. In this respect, the map…

This study examined the effect of blended laboratory experiments on pre-service physics teachers' (PSPTs') attitudes toward physics laboratories. The research design was a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test comparing groups. Participants were 63 2nd-year PSPTs' enrolled in a physics diploma program from three colleges of teacher education.…

The objectives of the research at this time were to 1) study and construct the transformative learning innovation to develop competency in teaching social studies online and 2) study the results of transformative learning to develop competency in teaching social studies online of pre-service teacher students in Chiang Mai education sandbox. For…

The rapid development of big data technology has attracted a variety of sectors, including tertiary education. The purpose of this paper is to construct a precision teaching mode based on big data technology in order to improve teaching quality and further promote education and teaching reform. The proposed mode, based on the theory of precision…
