Disruptions in education may exacerbate digital inequality among college student groups. This study examined differences in and relationships between digital access, use, and connectivity, digital skills and engagement, and academic motivation among first-generation (learners whose parents/guardians have no college education) and…

Language negotiations facilitate second language acquisition (SLA) in both face-to-face (FTF) and computer-mediated interactions. Research shows that dyadic type can impact the quantity and quality of negotiations. Although both learner (L)-learner and native speaker (NS)-L dyadic type interactions have shown to be beneficial to SLA, it is still…

This study examines the role of Augmented Reality (AR) in enhancing cultural understanding through experiential learning. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with Smart PLS 4.0, we analyzed how different AR-based experiences--Simulation, Experiment 1, and Experiment 2--affect cultural diversity comprehension. Data…

This study explores the interplay between educational technology adoption, online community participation, self-paced learning, and graduate students' health promotion skills in physical education programs. It investigates how these factors facilitate or hinder skill development by examining teaching techniques and interventions in graduate…

Many universities and colleges worldwide switched to virtual learning due to the coronavirus pandemic, and classroom course delivery was generally discontinued. The present cross-sectional study aimed to determine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance of African students' academic performance using virtual learning as a…

Providing timely and personalized feedback on open-ended student responses is a challenge in education due to the increased workloads and time constraints educators face. While existing research has explored how learning analytic approaches can support feedback provision, previous studies have not sufficiently investigated educators' perspectives…

We conducted two experiments to assess the alignment between Generative AI (GenAI) text personalization and hypothetical readers' profiles. In Experiment 1, four LLMs (i.e., Claude 3.5 Sonnet; Llama; Gemini Pro 1.5; ChatGPT 4) were prompted to tailor 10 science texts (i.e., biology, chemistry, physics) to accommodate four different profiles…

As cloud computing gains prominence, universities have increasingly incorporated it into their curricula, necessitating a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical skills. However, students' learning of cloud computing was not clear. The primary objectives of this study are to assess variations in students' self-efficacy and…

Studies have not focused much on the risk or protective factors of Hispanic college students' cyberbullying victimization. This study applied the stress, appraisal, and coping theory to examine how the association between cyberbullying victimization and a Hispanic college student's sense of purpose in life might be explained by their depressive…

Internship is a culminating student teaching experience traditionally involving sustained mentorship in the classroom of an experienced mentor teacher with some university supervision, and as such, it is a critical component in teacher preparation. When provisionally licensed teachers complete a non-traditional internship in their own classroom,…

Amidst growing interest and accumulating evidence that learning music can enhance the intellectual, social, and personal development of children, there remains a notable gap in addressing how it can benefit children with functional diversity. Adopting a posthuman perspective, this paper asserts that the design and use of technology can provide a…

The main purpose of this article is to investigate the prospects of using AI in the education of social workers and social work in general. The research methodology encompassed both pre-test and post-test assessments administered for closed examinations across five academic disciplines, all of which were instructed through the utilisation of the…

This study investigates the self-regulated learning strategies employed by students in computer programming courses. Utilising the Questionnaire on Learning Strategies in Computer Programming (CEAPC), the research aims to identify specific strategies used by students. The findings reveal a variety of effective learning strategies, including…

This study utilised 2015 PISA data from the United Kingdom and Hong Kong to examine the relations between outside school ICT use for learning and science performance through a mediation model. The results uncovered three key findings: Firstly, ICT use for learning exhibited negative total effects on science performance in the United Kingdom,…

Pre-post paired data gathered from 15 students enrolled in a career and technical education high school course focusing on teacher education were analyzed to measure the impact due to experiences in a simulated teaching environment. The main research focus was to explore the relationship between variables considered to be important for the success…
