The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to determine if and to what extent teachers' assessment of their principals' authentic leadership characteristics of balanced processing, relational transparency, self-awareness, and internalized moral perspective predicts teachers' job satisfaction in one virtual K-12 school in a southern…

For most students, completing practice problems is an essential prerequisite for success in organic chemistry courses. Practice work, however, is sometimes perceived to be easier than or even not related to the types of chemistry that students see in assessments and "real-world" science. This negative view may contribute to a reduced…

Randomized A/B tests allow causal estimation without confounding but are often under-powered. This paper uses a new dataset, including over 250 randomized comparisons conducted in an online learning platform, to illustrate a method combining data from A/B tests with log data from users who were not in the experiment. Inference remains exact and…

The technology acceptance model (TAM) was used in this study to evaluate the faculty's perceptions of online learning. This study adopted a deductive approach that involved a move from theory formulation to data gathering. This study utilized a descriptive, correlational design to describe the study variables, which included the participants'…

Academic journals, including the "Journal of Chemical Education," are repositories of individual works from communities of scholars. Often the use of information from journals is discrete, operating at the level of the individual article. Indeed, the use of search engines and rapid electronic delivery of individual articles as a PDF file…

As most of the life-threatening events, such as heart failure and trauma, occur out-of-hospital, first aid is considered crucial for a victim's survival chances. Unfortunately, a substantial part of these psychomotor or consciously brain-controlled motor skills are executed poorly or incorrectly due to the inexperience of first aid attendants or…

In this study, we defined and critically analyzed the commercial use of online resources and e-learning technologies via systemic, neo-institutional, comparative analysis. These resources and technologies include the following: multifunctional e-learning platforms (University Without Borders, Moodle, iSpring), online tools (Kahoot, Buncee,…

While multi-access learning can support more flexible, accessible, and equitable learning, the time and effort required of educators can serve as a barrier to adoption, particularly for those already fatigued by emergency shifts to remote teaching during the pandemic. Drawing on our own experiences as educators, we propose three practical ways to…

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the challenge of online teaching to graduate courses, without prior preparation for students and teachers. In this context, the aim of the study was to identify sociodemographic predictors of difficulty in carrying out online academic activities by graduate students, by region of Brazil, during the COVID-19…

This paper presents an investigation into the integration of virtual reality (VR) tours in online English lessons tailored for adult learners. The study utilised a design-based research approach to evaluate the effectiveness of VR tours in this context. It specifically examined the responses of adult learners to this instructional strategy by…
