Faculty who develop courses in an online environment are crucial to an integral part of providing accessible learning in graduate school education. However, existing literature on accessibility reveals that faculty are sometimes unprepared to create accessible online courses. Developing accessible courses for all students is an ongoing challenge…

Dynamic structural equation models (DSEM) are designed for time series analysis of latent structures. Inherent to the application of DSEM is model parameter estimation, which has to be addressed in many applications by a single time series. In this context, however, the methods currently available either lack estimation quality or are…

Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between telework frequency and knowledge management (KM) activity in Japan and the USA. By examining how telework impacts KM activity differently across these two countries, this study aims to provide insights into the design and implementation of effective telework policies tailored to specific…

Local districts can benefit from a collaborative process for refreshing their master schedules to increase teacher planning time.

It is well established that performing multiple tasks simultaneously (dual-tasking) or sequentially (task-switching) degrades performance on one or both tasks. However, it is unknown whether task-switching adds to the effects of dual-tasking in a single setup. We investigated this in a simulated everyday-like car driving scenario. We expected an…

Based on the person-organisation fit theory, this study examines the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between value congruence and teacher commitment among schoolteachers. We tested whether value congruence was related to higher teacher commitment via teacher self-efficacy and whether time pressure moderated these potential direct and…

Previous literature suggests learners can adjust their encoding strategies to match the demands of the expected test format. However, it is unclear whether other forms of metacognitive control, namely, study time allocation and restudy selection, are also sensitive to expected test format. Across four experiments we examined whether learners…

The current study aims to examine the association between digital literacy (DL), Internet addiction (IA) and cyberloafing (CL) levels of higher education students in Turkey. In addition, the study examined the correlation between "daily Internet use," "initial Internet usage," and "purpose of Internet use" with the…
