Age of acquisition (AoA) is a measure of word complexity which refers to the age at which a word is typically learned. AoA measures have shown strong correlations with reading comprehension, lexical decision times, and writing quality. AoA scores based on both adult and child data have limitations that allow for error in measurement, and increase…

The purpose of this research was to gain, from the academic advisor's perspective, an understanding of what technologies are being used in advising practices, the effectiveness of these technologies, and advisors' perceptions of quality advising set forth by the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education. A qualitative…

The meaningful learning of respiratory system will be enacted by students through the utilization of problem-based learning interactive media. This study aimed to develop problem-based interactive learning media on respiratory system material. This Research and Development (R&D) was conducted based on Borg and Gall with ten stages, namely: 1)…

This research suggests emphasis manipulation on constituent skills of least-abled sets, improves coordination and integration of knowledge, skills, and attitudes on cognitive load, transfer, and instructional efficiency. The participants were divided into two groups. Competency levels for the designated skill sets were evaluated, and a pre-test…

Geography learning is meaningless if it is not followed by the development of students' spatial thinking ability. Research aimed to 1) determine the effect of earthcomm learning and conventional learning on geography learning outcomes, 2) find out the effect of spatial thinking ability on geography learning outcomes, 3) find out the interaction…

As the online education trend increases with more online enrollments, instructors are looking at new technologies to facilitate student discourse and increase student social presence. Instructors have considered the use of social media in education to meet the needs of students. This study looked at the use of Yellowdig, a closed social media…

Computational thinking is a way of thinking that covers 21st century skills and includes new generation concepts such as robotics, coding, informatics and information construction. Computational thinking has reached an important point especially in the field of science in line with the rapid developments in technology. Robotics applications,…

This innovation proposes an alternative to the traditional exam/test model. Many faculty members have likely struggled with the need to objectively assess their students and the push back they get from students in administering such assessments. The current article outlines a win-win solution that allows professors to objectively assess student…

The continuous technological development nowadays acts ancillary and supportively in student-centered learning, in both formal and informal education settings. Effective learning environments, such as the AppInventor software, could spark the students' interest and allow them to develop programming skills and strengthen their algorithmic…

Aim/Purpose: Edmodo is a free and secure social learning network for teachers, students, and parents. This research aims to investigate the impact of using the Edmodo network among the students at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University and students' attitudes toward it. Background: The creators of e-learning systems have recently taken remarkable…

This report synthesized a one-hour panel discussion at the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) International Convention 2018 in Kansas City, Missouri, sponsored by the Korean Society for Educational Technology (KSET). The theme of the panel discussion was "New Technology, Design, and Research Approaches for…

This study evaluated effect of mental rotation (MR) training on learning outcomes and explored effectiveness of teaching via three-dimensional (3D) software among medical students with diverse spatial intelligence. Data from n = 67 student volunteers were included. A preliminary test was conducted to obtain baseline level of MR competency and was…

This paper tracks the managing-out of Postmodernism in UK universities, before casting doubt on the tendency to declare its death. Firstly, Postmodernism's current status as 'geist' is defined and the question is put as to whether Postmodernity is dead in the university. I use Google Ngrams and data from the main three academic libraries I am…

Cheating detection is an important issue in standardized testing, especially in large-scale settings. Statistical approaches are often computationally intensive and require specialised software to conduct. We present a two-stage approach that quickly filters suspected groups using statistical testing on an IRT-based answer-copying index. We also…

This research aimed to examine the effect of collaboration Think Pair Share (TPS) Leaning Model and m-Learning based on Android on the understanding of trigonometry concepts and to investigate the interaction between collaborative learning and cognitive style on the understanding of trigonometry concepts. This research involved 80 pre-service…
