Lo-An Liu; Gwo-Jen Hwang – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Learning with digital games has gained considerable popularity. While digital game-based learning has the potential to improve learners' language learning achievement, engagement and motivation, there still exists a gap when it comes to providing effective feedback to learners within these games. Conventional digital games generally provide…

Chu, Shih-Ting; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Chien, Shu-Yun; Chang, Shao-Chen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
In recent years, several studies have reported the potential of employing digital games in EFL (English as Foreign Language) courses to promote students' learning motivation. However, scholars have pointed out that students generally lack self-learning ability, which is the key to the success of learning a foreign language. Therefore, it is…

Qiao, Shen; Yeung, Susanna Siu-sze; Shen, Xiaoai; Chu, Samuel Kai Wah – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
Purpose: Morphological awareness (MA), the ability to reflect on and manipulate the smallest language units within a word, has been identified as an essential metalinguistic awareness to predict literacy development. In this study, we examine whether an online gamified English MA programme is more effective than physical face-to-face instruction…

Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Yang, Chin-Lan; Chou, Kuei-Ru; Chang, Ching-Yi – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
Educators have indicated the need to foster students' ability to solve problems by acquiring up-to-date knowledge as well as promoting their competences for making decisions from diverse perspectives based on the acquired knowledge. Traditional courses mainly use lecture-based instruction without providing sufficient opportunities for students to…

Redmond, Petrea; Peled, Yehuda – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
The ubiquitous nature of technology in the world has not yet translated into the ubiquitous use of technology to transform learning and teaching. Teachers lack the confidence and competence to integrate technology across a broad range of tools within a range of contexts. Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) has become a common…

Chen, Pei-Ying; Hwang, Gwo-Jen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Flipped classrooms have been recognized as a potential approach that enables students to have flexible time to learn before the class as well as more opportunities to apply knowledge and to interact with peers and the teacher in the class. On the other hand, researchers have pointed out the challenge of engaging students in self-regulated learning…

Cheng, Xusen; Li, Yuanyuan; Sun, Jianshan; Huang, Jianqing – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2016
Collaborative case studies and computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) play an important role in the modern education environment. A number of researchers have given significant attention to learning design in order to improve the satisfaction of collaborative learning. Although collaboration engineering (CE) is a mature method widely…

Giacumo, Lisa A.; Savenye, Wilhelmina; Smith, Nichole – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2013
Over the past 20 years, researchers have begun to examine data from asynchronous computer-mediated student discussions in courses. Some results have shown students to demonstrate lower or mid-level thinking skills, while others suggest students routinely demonstrate higher-order thinking skills. The authors investigated the relationship between…

Van Zanten, Rob; Somogyi, Simon; Curro, Gina – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
The application of podcasting for educational purposes is growing fast in universities. There are several benefits of this asynchronous, direct communication and interaction between teacher and student. Nonetheless, the benefits, the pedagogical value of podcasting the traditional lecture format, have come into question. Furthermore, issues have…

Chu, Regina Juchun; Chu, Anita Zichun; Weng, Cathy; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Lin, Chia-chun – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
This research explores the relationships between self-directed learning readiness and transformative learning theory (TLT) reflected by the Constructivist Internet-based Learning Environment Scale (CILES). A questionnaire survey about adult learner's perceptions of Internet-based learning was administered to adults enrolled in classes in community…

Rolfe, Vivien – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
New students face the challenge of making a smooth transition between school and university, and with regards to academic practice, there are often gaps between student expectations and university requirements. This study supports the use of the plagiarism detection service Turnitin to give students instant feedback on essays to help improve…

Zacharis, Nick Z. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
As the number of courses offered online increases rapidly, it is important for teachers and institutions to identify specific learner characteristics of successful online students. This paper reports on a study that compared an online group of freshmen computer science majors with an equivalent on-campus group to find if their individual learning…

Carvalho, Ana; Areal, Nelson; Silva, Joaquim – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
The use of learning management systems (LMS) has grown considerably in universities around the world. The University of Minho (UM) has pioneered in this area in Portugal, adopting Blackboard as its official LMS. Moodle is also used in UM in scattered initiatives, allowing for interesting comparisons. Previous studies comparing Blackboard and…

Windle, Richard J.; McCormick, Damion; Dandrea, Jennifer; Wharrad, Heather – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
We investigated the effectiveness of reusable learning objects (RLOs) when delivered in a workshop or released for self-study with groups of student-nurses studying chemistry. Analysis of examination results showed that the proportion of students answering chemistry questions correctly increased significantly in both the workshop and self-study…
