In higher education and beyond, the COVID-19 pandemic is considered to have accelerated digitalisation. While this acceleration is usually viewed in the context of the digital transformation that is characterised by its longevity, the permanence of pandemic-driven digitalisation requires investigation. Focusing on appointment procedures for…

To better understand the use of ChatGPT as a tool for learning in higher education, this investigation reports student responses to an e-questionnaire investigating their perspectives on it. In particular, it delves into whether there are any significant differences between opinions based on gender and the level of study of 51 postgraduate…

Although some published studies have challenged the importance and efficacy of written corrective feedback (WCF), ESL/EFL tutors continue to value its practice and provide WCF to their students in spite of their time and workload constraints. The development of various automated-feedback applications over the last few years contributed to our…

Purpose: The discussion about using Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) by teachers is making notable progress on a daily basis. This research examines the teachers' adoption intention to adopt ChatGPT by focusing on perceived trust and perceived risk. The study seeks to elucidate the impact of these two factors on teachers' adoption…

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 research describes the implementation of discussion-centric blended learning (DCBL) so that it can foster student HOTS (Higher-Order Thinking Skill). There were 31 students, aged 18-20 years, in the Mathematical Statistics class involved in HOTS pre-test, DCBL and HOTS post-test activities. Audio-visual video recordings, observations and…

With the traditional jigsaw technique, small groups are formed with each student having a piece of information needed to complete the assignment. Next, groups of students with the same information meet to explore their material before returning to their home group to complete the assignment. This study sought to determine the efficacy of a…
