Many in higher education are calling for a re-think of teaching and learning principles. The global pandemic de-stabilized foundational assumptions that guided pedagogy for many higher education practitioners. One such assumption is the value of the physical classroom for student engagement. Advances in educational technology and online learning…

This study examined two mediators of university students' behavioural intention to use digital platforms in the context of science service learning in Taiwanese universities. Based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), we proposed two cognitive variables as antecedents, self-efficacy and science trust, to verify their influences on students'…

This study explores whether learning approaches combining augmented reality and multidimensional concept maps (ARMCMs) would improve learning effectiveness, learning motivation, learning satisfaction, and cognitive load more than multidimensional concept maps (MCMs) and augmented reality (AR) learning do. The study employed a quasi-experimental…

This study aimed to examine the structural relationships among factors that affect learners' continuance intention to use Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Drawing upon the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), it posited teaching presence and task-technology fit as exogenous variables, examining how they affect continuance intention to use MOOCs,…

This study surveyed 343 undergraduate online tutors in Taiwan to gather their perspectives regarding online tutoring and to investigate their readiness levels for online tutoring. After the tutors taught online for one semester, surveys were distributed. The data were gathered over a period extending from the 2015 fall semester to the 2020 spring…

Providing feedback on students' writing is considered important by both writing teachers and students. However, contextual constraints including excess workloads and large classes pose major and recurrent challenges for teachers. To lighten the feedback burden, teachers can take advantage of a range of automated feedback tools. This paper…

The level of learner satisfaction, according to Chen and Yao (J Educ Res 4(7):1667-1671, 2016), has a main role in measuring the effectiveness of blended learning, which is influenced by various factors. The purpose of this study was thus twofold: (a) to explore graduate students' attitudes, interaction patterns, and satisfaction with blended…

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced school closure thus shifting teaching and learning towards full home-based learning (HBL). Technology plays a key role but the considerations to design online learning environments that meaningfully engage students are complex. This exploratory, qualitative study attempted to elicit eight mathematics teachers'…

It has been well documented that active learning (AL) improves student learning outcomes in education. This quasi-experimental study explores the effect of active learning on students' knowledge of calculus concepts, in the form of the Calculus Concept Inventory (CCI), regular assignment scores, and test scores, during an 8-week calculus tutorial…

Emotion management is an important component under the self-regulated learning model, and teachers' emotion management plays an essential role in their technology integration into teaching practices. The current study investigated models of teachers' emotion management while learning and using information technology, using data from 866 teachers…

This paper reports on a qualitative research project investigating the integration of technology by three English teachers in a public secondary school in Indonesia. Third generation activity theory and Engeström and Sannino's (J Organ Change Manag 24(3):368-387, 2011) methodological framework for the identification and analysis of different types…

The main purpose of this study was to examine the multi-functional relationship among pre-service teachers' art appreciation, attitude toward science, technology acceptance, creative convergence competency, and teaching competency in STEAM education. Data were collected from 238 pre-service teachers in Korea and were analyzed using structural…

Improving reading fluency in English is a challenging task for English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) students. It is particularly hard for those whose first languages are linguistically distant from English, for example, Korea, Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian languages. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether digitally reformatted…

To find out if information and communication technology (ICT) could narrow the achievement gaps among students caused by variations in their socioeconomic status, this study examines the mediating mechanism of ICT use between students' socioeconomic status (SES) and achievement. Data from the 2012 East Asia Program for International Student…

The main goal of this research is to understand how young children use mobile technology such as smartphones to traverse different learning contexts and harness a constellation of resources to make sense of their science learning in daily lives. We adopted Rogoff's sociocultural lens of transformation of participation that helps us understand how…
