Introduction: Current literature recognizes that various socialization agents often shape political behavior. This study employs frameworks of political socialization and political agency to explore how extracurricular activities and political intentions established at age 16 influence aspects of political participation and civic engagement at age…

Beyond informing human resources (HR) policies and practices, information gleaned from predictive analytics, visualized via dashboards, can increase awareness and prompt employee and management actions based on identified variables often related to intent to leave and employee wellness. While considerable research, relevant measurements, and tools…

This investigation aimed to ascertain latent profiles of university students predicated on fundamental factors influencing their intentions to acquire knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). The study scrutinized four dimensions: supportive social norms, facilitating conditions, selfefficacy in AI learning, and perceived utility of AI. Through…

Drawing on the technology acceptance model (TAM), self-determination theory (SDT), expectation-confirmation model (ECM), and massive open online courses (MOOCs) design effects, the present work introduced a conceptual model for understanding the fine-grained mechanism underlying learner satisfaction and continuance intention. A structural equation…

This study examines factors influencing teachers' intention to adopt Generative AI technologies in education by extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The proposed comprehensive model incorporates both external factors (exposure to AI information, information credibility, and institutional support) and internal factors (intrinsic…

The proliferation of ChatGPT in educational contexts and incorporating such technology into students' academic lives raise intriguing questions. Understanding the factors influencing the intention to adopt this novel technology is necessary for better integration and utilization. This study determined the correlates of intention to use ChatGPT…

Virtual learning technologies have become integral in education globally, with developed countries leading in implementation. In contrast, Global South countries like South Africa are only beginning to conceptualise Virtual Laboratory (VL) integration, with limited practical implementation. This study underscores the importance of understanding…

Students' involvement in both curricular and extracurricular activities at university can foster a sense of belonging, and support academic persistence and achievement, particularly during the first year. For over a decade, universities have observed diminishing student engagement patterns. These include declining attendance at face-to-face…

This study aims to explore factors predicting the use of e-learning as a sustainable solution in Indian higher education institutions by employing a modified version of the technology acceptance model (TAM). An online questionnaire (n = 200), capturing post-graduate management students from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, was analysed using…

This study introduces a novel Learner-Intention Continuum, spanning from curiosity and exploration to purposeful, goal-directed learning. This continuum fills a critical gap in understanding the diverse motivations of informal and semi-formal learners, specifically those who enroll in massive open online courses (MOOCs). Through latent class…

There is a large disconnect between the increasing need for computer science education in K-12 schools and the preservice teacher training provided. Consequently, preservice teachers may graduate feeling unprepared to infuse computer science concepts such as computational thinking (CT) into their teaching. To address this, we created Robotics in…

Since ChatGPT offers free access for everyone, it has created a new phenomenon and has the potential to disrupt the education industry. The primary purpose of this quantitative study is to understand the factors that influence the use of ChatGPT in tertiary education, how it motivates students to learn and how the potential misuse negatively…

This study employs the Theory of Planned Behaviour to investigate mathematics teachers' beliefs regarding their intention to collaborate regularly in an online community. The central premise is that initiating such a community necessitates an implementation strategy informed by a better understanding of underlying beliefs influencing teachers'…

This study advances an e-learning adoption model by exploring the link between Performance Expectancy (PE) and Behavioural Intention (BI) to adopt e-learning among undergraduate students in Kenya's public universities. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), data were collected from a sample of 388 respondents through…
