This study explored how likely its Thai participants were to choose to read an article with a clickbait headline, together with how the reasons given for choosing clickbait headlines correspond to the linguistic features found in the headlines. News headlines were presented to 18 participants to rate which news headline they would choose. Then,…

In this paper, we, university instructors, explore the possibilities of Forum Theater and its potential significance for preparing future/practicing teachers to work with bi/multilingual populations. Inspired by a 4-trans+ approach, we use arts and community-based (ACB) pedagogies influenced by Arts Practice Research. Our analysis reveals the…

This study presents a new instrument for assessing reflective thinking, self-efficacy, and self-regulated learning (SRL) among Universitas Terbuka postgraduate students registered in an online Research Methods course. The study validates the instrument's dependability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.918) and builds a strong factor structure by means of…

Simulation with simulated patients is increasingly used in occupational therapy. Ensuring the debrief component meets student needs to develop their self-assessment skills for participating in a self-regulating profession is essential. This explanatory mixed-methods research sought to explore factors contributing to accurate and inaccurate…

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of sentence context, accent strength, and second language (L2) listening proficiency on word recognition accuracy and transcription time among Chinese learners of English for Pakistani-accented English. Method: Speech stimuli included 48 isolated words and 48 highly constraining sentences, each…

As the novel coronavirus began to rapidly spread worldwide in March 2020, emergency transitions to the remote education processes were adopted in all institutions so as not to interrupt students' learning. In this study, we intended to investigate the extent to which factors of online course design and student learning impact students' success…

This article explores a small number of African international students' narratives on their identity work through work-integrated learning (WIL) in Chinese higher education. Applying a sociological use of the 'possible selves' concept to interview data, the findings show that individual participants accumulate a pool of like-to-be, aspire-to-be…

Medical simulation education allows trainees to work together in teams, and to practise assuming the roles of leader and followers, while completing real-world scenarios designed to develop the skills needed to be effective in clinical practice. Despite the importance of residents developing leadership skills to optimize performance and patient…

This research explores and compares the learning ecologies of international students studying through internationalisation at a distance (IaD) and internationalisation abroad (IA) by investigating their experiences of first year of master's study with a UK university. We do so by using our previously proposed Revised Ecological Systems Theory as a…

The internationalization of higher education increasingly involves 'Internationalization at a Distance' (IaD), a modality that alters how students engage with learning communities across geographical and cultural divides. Despite its growing prevalence, the complexity of fostering student engagement in transnational settings remains underexplored.…

Media scrutiny of initial teacher education (ITE) programs in Australia has been intense in recent years, with particular attention being drawn to ITE graduate preparedness to teach. Simultaneously there is a worldwide shortage of graduate teachers to fill gaping holes in teacher workforces, and a decline in community perceptions of the role…

Kazakhstan has made remarkable strides forward in internationalisation of its higher education by adopting a trilingual education policy, joining the Bologna Process, cooperation with foreign universities, and academic mobility. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of English medium instruction (EMI) programmes offered by…

International teaching assistants (ITAs) have a prominent role in the internationalisation of higher education (IHE). Although ITAs are considered important actors in IHE and ITA programs have a relatively long history, there is a scarcity of review studies on empirical research focusing on ITAs. This qualitative metasynthesis explores the…

Collaborative teamwork has gained popularity as a vital strategy within online learning environments for constructing and negotiating knowledge. This study explores the implementation of seven distinct teamwork strategies, drawn from existing literature, in an online graduate course at a Turkish private university. It represents a single case…

The study aimed to examine the impact of a gamified distance learning system on enhancing digital creativity in distance education. The research involved 36 graduate students from Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University enrolled in the Public Administration Innovation course. Over a six-week experimental period, the learning system incorporated…
