Almost four academic years have passed since emergency remote teaching (ERT) was employed as a temporary means for continuing education. In the post-pandemic era, residual impacts from ERT are still unfolding. Teachers reported a pronounced decrease in students' academic performance, concentration and social skills. As time passes, we seem to have…

This article explores the potential of video-based strategies to enhance learning in K-12 online physical education (OLPE), namely: video instruction, analysis, and feedback. Video instructions can optimize attention and effectively promote independent practice of motor skills when they are short, focused, and contain expert demonstrations. Video…

This study explores the integration of ChatGPT technology into Virtual Reality (VR) learning environments to support self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies and foster higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Utilizing a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, 81 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to either an experimental group with…

Oral practice is challenging for foreign language education, and Corrective Feedback (CF) is often used to point out learners' pronunciation errors and to help them improve their oral skills in foreign language courses. CF is generally considered as a necessary condition for foreign language acquisition, and "reflection" and…

Research competence is a cornerstone of postgraduate education, yet many Nigerian students continue to struggle with essential processes such as literature review, methodological design, and data analysis. While artificial intelligence (AI) holds considerable promise in supporting self-directed research learning (SDRL), its adoption and practical…

This article explores inquiry-based learning (IBL) pedagogy, particularly in mathematics education, examining how it differs from problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based learning (CBL). IBL is defined as a student-centered approach involving sequenced problems or tasks that build engagement and understanding through group work. While IBL, PBL,…

For the past 18 months, Project Tomorrow® through the Speak Up Research Project has been collecting and analyzing the views of students in grades 6-12, classroom educators, school principals, district administrators and parents and families about the role of Generative AI in education. Through both quantitative and qualitative data collection…

The importance of bioinformatics in current biological research makes bioinformatics education a required course for pre-service biology teachers to become professional biology teachers. This research aimed to develop e-BIMO as a teaching media for bioinformatics education courses towards STEM literacy, considering that STEM literacy is a part…

An exponential increase in the availability of information over the last two decades has asked for novel theoretical frameworks to examine how students optimally learn under these new learning conditions, given the limitations of human processing ability. In this special issue and in the current editorial introduction, we argue that such a novel…

A student of self-directed learning provides a perspective commentary on the use of fiction to foster discussion of themes, studies, and theories related to self-directed learning. The novel used is Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," set in a future dystopian society where books are outlawed and any that are found are burned by government…

Best-practice guidelines have incorporated ultrasound in diagnostic and procedural medicine. Due to this demand, the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine initiated a comprehensive integration of ultrasound into its first-year anatomy course attended by more than 280 students. Ultrasound workshops were developed to enhance student…

Background: It has been assumed that prompting students to plan, monitor and evaluate their learning process could stimulate strategy use and thereby improve learning outcomes. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of metacognitive prompts on students' self-regulated learning (SRL) and learning outcomes in the context of…

Prompted by the sudden shift to remote instruction in March 2020 brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers explored online resources to support their students learning from home. We report on how twelve teachers identified and creatively leveraged open educational resources (OERs) and practices to facilitate self-directed science learning.…

This study investigated that whether and how the mechanisms of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategy may underlie explicit behaviors of repeated studying and testing by an eye-tracking method. Sixty-three seventh-grade students read an illustrated science article and completed a reading test. Then they were asked to reread and retest. Our data…

The aim of this dissertation is to determine the professional readiness of instructional designers as they develop and implement online course elements that support student self-regulated learning development. The increasing popularity of online education amongst college students has created a rift between faculty and students. Faculty at this…
