Purpose: Problem-based learning (PBL) promotes student-centered, active learning and has been applied in many health disciplines, including speech-language pathology (SLP). There is some SLP literature outlining how PBL has been applied and its components, however, how PBL is applied across SLP programs worldwide is yet to be explored. We…

The developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly transformed second language (L2) learning and assessment, and the role of AI technologies in L2 assessment have been investigated in recent research. This study presents a bibliosystematic analysis of AI-assisted L2 assessment. Using both systematic analysis and bibliometric…

Substitute teachers play a crucial role in how schools can function, yet little research has focused on understanding the contours of the substitute labor market. This paper uses a mixed method approach, including a survey of a random sample of the population of substitute teachers, state administrative data, and interviews with district…

This research aims to increase our understanding about the effects of active learning, applying problem-based learning (PBL) methodologies to increase student motivation in various graphic engineering classes. The measurement instruments included a cross-sectional survey (n = 269) carried out during the years 2015 to 2019 through triangulation of…

This study investigated how domain specificity of academic motivation related to the connection between instructional clarity and academic achievement in science and mathematics. It focused on three aspects of domain-specific academic motivation--self-concept, intrinsic value, and utility value--drawing from the Expectancy-Value Theory model. The…

This study based on an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model, examines factors influencing graduate students' behavioural intention towards adoption and actual use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Using a cross-sectional data from 415 graduate students in Ghana, this study employed the partial…

There have been many studies about the effectiveness of differentiated instruction in promoting student-centered learning. However, most of these studies have focused on primary and secondary education. There is hardly any research about its application and effectiveness in higher education settings. Furthermore, there is a need to identify the…

According to the situated expectancy-value model, students' motivational beliefs interact and are influenced by situations. This study examined how within-person fluctuations in science-related self-concept, intrinsic value, and cost are associated over time among Helsinki elementary students (N = 538, ages 7-12). The random intercept cross-lagged…

Grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), this study explores how teacher instruction clarity impacts Year 9 students' mathematics interest through the mediating roles of confidence and value, with a focus on gender differences. Structural equation modelling applied to the 2019 New Zealand TIMSS dataset (2,594 girls and 2,651 boys)…

With the increasing need for dynamic and engaging educational experiences, methodologies are essential to captivate and motivate students effectively. As the digital age progresses, students are more accustomed to interactive and multimedia-rich environments, making it imperative for educational strategies to evolve accordingly. This paper…

This study explores secondary school students' experiences with physical education (PE) in Thailand, with a particular focus on the impact of standardized fitness assessments on motivation, self-perception, and long-term engagement in physical activity. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, focus groups, and…

High school administrators desire a high graduation rate, and government actors and community members pressure administrators to raise this rate. In the context of this challenging dynamic, principals sometimes compel teachers to alter their grading practices. While amending grading practices may provide the impression of improvement, it is…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between students' social-emotional behaviors and their later academic outcomes from a person-centered perspective. To better inform social-emotional learning intervention practices, a person-centered approach was used to identify students' social-emotional behavior profiles based on…

This study describes the validation process of the Motivation to Read Profile Survey developed by Gambrell et al. for use in Colombia. The tool assesses reading motivation through the lens of expectancy-value theory and focuses on two constructs associated with motivation to read: readers' self-concept and value of reading. The need to assess…

Pollution from quarry activities has a substantial environmental impact on many countries. This issue should be addressed accordingly as its impact may introduce various health-related problems to the surrounding community. One alternative is to increase awareness for the younger generation and society at large. However, environmental data…
