The generalization of the cognitive theory of multimedia learning to immersive virtual reality (IVR) learning contexts has been increasingly examined; for example, there has been an exploration of redundancy effects on science learning using IVR technology. However, studies on how well multimedia principles such as redundancy work in IVR learning…

The current study examined the effects of using a commercially available computer program on the early literacy skills of preschool children and the relationship between fidelity and improvement in literacy skills. Parents and their preschool children were recruited to voluntarily participate in an educational app study. Forty-two preschool…

The online inquiry-based learning (OIBL) environment enhances autonomy and provides a safe context for implementing science education. It facilitates the development of students' inquiry skills and understanding of scientific concepts. However, the effectiveness of OIBL is often compromised by students' limited metacognitive abilities,…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has introduced a new tool to the educational environment that can be used in multiple ways by both teachers and students. This study employed a within-subjects design to verify whether Generative AI can enhance students' learning satisfaction, self-efficacy, and learning outcomes. Twenty college students…

This study compares engineering college students' learning motivation between AI-featured and traditional scaffolding methods using a mixed-methods approach. Two different types of class activities, one involving solving a computational problem and the other assembling an essay, were designed to be carried out using both AI-featured and…

Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) instruction offers a promising approach to enhancing flexibility and student engagement in undergraduate education. Yet, challenges related to technology, faculty readiness, and equity remain. This systematic review serves to explore current trends in the peer-reviewed literature on HyFlex learning between 2013 and 2023,…

Computer programming is an essential, cross-disciplinary skill relevant to learners beyond merely computer scientists. This paper introduces parallel courseware, a novel approach to courseware design that contributes to adaptable learning in introductory programming education. Adaptability is achieved through the implementation of parallel,…

The present study investigated the interplay of cognitive cues and social cues in instructional videos on students' knowledge acquisition and sense of social presence. 312 preservice teachers took part in the study. Out of these, 238 participants were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups receiving an asynchronous online video…

The study investigates the latent profiles of learners based on motivated self-directed learning (MSDL) and collaborative learning (CL) within an e-learning environment, focusing on how peer-to-peer confirmation is linked to learners' engagement and learning outcomes. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, and drawing on empirical insights from…

With the advancement of technology and the internet, individuals offload their cognitive demands onto the internet to access information and supplement their cognitive capacity. However, heavy reliance on the internet often produces undesirable consequences such as poor metacognitive judgments and memory retention. This study investigated whether…

The research focus on teacher questions is justified by previous research emphasizing the essential role of questions in facilitating meaningful learning in science. Analysis of teacher questions has traditionally been based mainly on manual coding, which is extremely labour intensive. In this study we explore how both machine learning and large…

The reading ability of hearing-impaired students is essential for their participation in mainstream society. However, previous studies have shown that they may encounter obstacles due to a lack of interest or limitations in reading communication systems. Augmented reality (AR) has been noted to provide immersive learning environments,…

Studies on learner-learner and learner-instructor interaction provide insight into the preferences and perceived effects of interaction types. However, evidence of the impact on measured performance resulting from substituting learner-content interaction for learner-learner interaction is sparse. Using an experimental design, this study examined…

This paper details the design and development of "MathFlowLens", a visualization tool that illustrates students' procedural pathways in algebraic problem solving and provides valuable insights into various mathematical strategies they use. MathFlowLens was built using the middle-school student (N = 1,649) log data from a gamified learning…

Predicting the level of student learning engagement in online learning is crucial for student success, especially for asynchronous courses. While digital traces can track students' activity on the platform and help to measure the engagement level, they could provide contradictory results, so it is crucial to incorporate complementary methods which…
