The conceptual framework included three antecedents of behavioural intentions -- perceived usefulness of micro-lectures; perceived ease of use of micro-lectures; and…

In the globalisation era, engaging youth in science and technology is a joint responsibility across nations. This study examined the effects of Global Korean Science Program (GKSP) on 608 Indonesian middle school students' attitudes towards science. Their science attitudes were assessed before and after the programme with Behaviour, Related…

Smartphones (SMPs) play a vital role in the lives of young people and in the university classroom. There are few studies of the use of SMPs by university students, and the existing knowledge is inconsistent and lacking consensus. This article shows the validity of a theoretical model of the use of SMPs in higher education, in the context of the…
