Technology in education strives to parallel the high-tech world we live in. When students' learning environment reflects the ways in which they engage the world, they will excel in their education (Christen, 2009). Physical education teachers (PETs) have reported many barriers to using and integrating educational technology (e.g., Hill &…

Background: This study investigates the effect of immersion levels in virtual reality (VR) learning environments on the acquisition of declarative and procedural knowledge. Prior research indicates that immersion affects cognitive load, but its impact on declarative and procedural knowledge outcomes remains unclear. This study utilises a…

Background: The study was motivated by the need to enhance children's literacy skills through innovative teaching methods. This research aims to address limitations in regular classroom teaching by exploring embodied learning and virtual reality (VR) as potential solutions. Objectives: The primary aim of the study was to investigate the effects of…

Background: Instructors' facial expressions in instructional videos can greatly influence how learners perceive their emotions, thereby affecting students' attention to the learning content and their overall performance. While the short-term effects of instructors' specific facial expressions in instructional videos have been well documented, less…

The application of technology in education has often been proposed as a positive support to improve access to and quality of education generally. However, research on technology in prison-based education is limited. This paper investigates the existing literature on educational programming in youth correctional institutions, and the role of…

The growing use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in academic research has created a need to understand graduate students' intention to adopt this technology. This study extended the technology acceptance model (TAM) to explore the factors that influence graduate students' willingness to use GAI for academic research purposes. We…

Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising educational tool in medical training, offering immersive learning experiences that address traditional limitations in medical education. However, comprehensive evidence regarding VR's overall effectiveness across diverse medical education contexts remains fragmented. To systematically…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have grown in popularity since 2008 but suffer from low completion rates, as low as 2%. This study examines how designing MOOCs with consideration of cognitive load can improve retention and learning outcomes, particularly for adult learners such as educators. Employing a design-based research methodology, five…

This study explores the influence of emotional intelligence and privacy orientation on attitudes and intentions to learn with mobile technologies. Data were collected from 272 respondents in Kazakhstan, a country with a transitioning economy. The findings reveal that both emotional intelligence and privacy orientation positively affect attitudes…

Artificial intelligence plays an important role in higher education, helping to manage centres and students' educational pathways, and acting as a valuable tool for both professors and scholars. However, its use in education is still at an early stage of development. Despite the notable increase in the number of publications and the growing…

In the evolving landscape of vocal pedagogy, ttehe integration of computer-assisted technologies represents a transformative shift from traditional master-apprentice models. This study investigates the efficacy of computer-assisted vocal training methods compared to conventional approaches, focusing on improvements in pitch accuracy, vocal range…

The lack of innovative implementation of digital learning media presents obstacles to accessing course materials, leading to unequal learning opportunities among students and, subsequently, lower graduate competencies. This study aimed to review the research studies on the effects of implementing digital learning media in various formats and its…

Research on using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots in learning environments continues to underpin research in and out of academia. However, GenAI text-to-video (T2V) models have not been adequately investigated in academia, mostly due to their novelty. That means their potential to improve learning remains to be determined. This…

The real-time availability of information and the intelligence of information systems have changed the way we deal with information. Current research is primarily concerned with the interplay between internal and external memory, i.e., how much and which forms of cognitively demanding processes we handle internally and when we use external storage…

Innovative Development of the Potential to Integrate Modern Technology for Buddhist Monks as Promoters of Buddhism in the Mekong Region employed a mixed-method research and development approach. The objectives were: to investigate the current conditions and factors influencing the development of innovations for disseminating Buddhism by monks in…
