Engineering educators naturally gravitate toward visual means for communicating concepts that would otherwise be extremely difficult to convey using words and numbers alone. With the emergence of three-dimensional (3D) printing as an accessible and cost-effective technology, it is now possible to develop customized models that enable students to…

Elearning provides enormous opportunities for working nurses to further their studies and to enhance their professional development. The purpose of this study was to identify the elearning success factors in elearning nursing undergraduate programs in Malaysia. The conceptual framework for this study is based on DeLone and McLean's Information…

Objective(s): To use self-control and self-determination theories in a grit model with self-control as a mediator of autonomous learning and well-being. Method: A cross-sectional online survey using a convenience sampling approach was employed to recruit 511 university students (70.6% female) with an average age of 25. Results: Grit was positively…

Intensive training programs have successfully supported students in using cognitive learning strategies. This study investigated whether a compact intervention can promote students' retrieval practice use during self-study for course-relevant materials. In an experiment embedded in a reputation management course, students were either given…

Purpose: To continue to stay relevant in the era of Industry Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) alongside the unprecedented disruption of COVID-19, the importance of lifelong learning is indisputable though this concept has existed for decades. In this context, open and distance learning (ODL) institutions are urged to re-think and re-design their online…

There is a sudden transition in education during this pandemic era of COVID-19. Students' learning which is previously conducted in an offline face-to-face meeting should shift to online learning. This sudden change surely affects students' learning experience. In the attempt to create a better online learning, this study investigates the…

Aim/Purpose: To explore the effectiveness of utilizing the design thinking approach in developing digital self-directed learning environment to enhance digital literacy skills in Thai higher education. Background: To foster digital literacy skills in higher education, Thai students require more than access to technology. Emphasizing digital…

Scientific research on mobile learning and its implications on humanistic education has grown tremendously. Within the context of an overview of its forerunners (i.e. educational technology) and critical characteristics concerning the humanistic perspective in education, bibliometric findings on mobile learning publications in humanistic education…

While previous research has examined the association between various forms of applied learning and effects on student outcomes, the present study examines engagement in forms of applied learning and three distinct measures of student success. Using longitudinal data from the Wabash National Study, this analysis examined the relationship between…

Teachers' self-regulated learning (SRL) plays a crucial role in developing technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), a complex professional skill. It is crucial to identify teachers' SRL activities that may lead to favorable TPACK. Previous studies have focused on the analysis of individual data sources from self-reported surveys or log…

Autonomy has been an important trait that marks the transition from childhood to adolescence. This study examines the effectiveness of the use of an autonomous learning component in outdoor programs, the final expedition, in enhancing youth autonomy in outdoor programs. This study used a mixed-method quantitative and qualitative research design to…

This study tested the mediating role of self-directed learning skills (SDL) between students' conceptions of mathematics and their achievement in mathematics using a structural equation model. Data were collected using the "Conceptions of Mathematics Questionnaire" and the "Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning", together…

There are many practices that educators can use to develop self-regulated learning (SRL); however, an organizational framework for cataloging SRL supportive practices that also identifies empirical support for those practices is lacking. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide such guidance by developing the settings, exchanges, and events…

Learner modeling systems so far formulated model learning in three main ways: a learner's "position" within a lattice of declarative and procedural knowledge about highly structured disciplines such as geometry or physics, a learner's path through curricular tasks compared to milestones, or profiles of a learner's achievements on a set…

This study explored how continuous diverse reflective exercises embedded in a Community Service Learning chemistry lab support science students' meaningful learning. The findings of this study are intended for those involved in teaching natural science in higher education, as well as those interested in Community Service Learning, self-directed…
