The purpose of this scoping review is to understand ways in which podcasting is used to communicate research findings and mobilize knowledge to a public audience. We address the use of podcasting as a broad research dissemination tool, as opposed to podcasting as a tool in formal education contexts. We summarize findings of individual studies,…

Background: Internet documents are characterised by their non-linear hyperlink structure, which allows for more flexible reading, at the cost of higher cognitive loads. Linear text reading comprehension skills contribute to hypertext comprehension (either directly or through its impact on navigation behaviours) but cannot fully account for its…

In early education, reading difficulties can lead to negative outcomes. Augmented reality (AR) storybooks combine the benefits of e-books and print books, significantly aiding children's reading skills and gaining recognition from scholars and educators. However, the existing AR storybooks often overlook the design of interactive features, which…

Learner behaviours often provide critical clues about learners' cognitive processes. However, the capacity of human intelligence to comprehend and intervene in learners' cognitive processes is often constrained by the subjective nature of human evaluation and the challenges of maintaining consistency and scalability. The recent widespread AI…

Electronic teaching materials have an important role in improving the quality of learning, making learning more interactive, and making the learning process more flexible and productive. The development of the increasingly sophisticated era, technology, information, and communication have also developed and have an impact on learning media,…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of viewing different types of digital environment images on college students' positive emotions, nature relatedness and environmental preference. This aimed to address the gap in empirical studies regarding the effects of digital environment images on these psychological constructs.…

The rise of social media has opened countless opportunities to explore social science questions with new data and methods. However, research on socioeconomic inequality remains constrained by limited individual-level socioeconomic status (SES) measures in digital trace data. Following Bourdieu, we argue that the commercial and entertainment…

Purpose: Knowledge management (KM) is a process that depends on changes and transfers to different levels of understanding among individuals and acts as a powerful tool to strengthen the organization to remove the barriers, affect the decision-making process and enable individuals and organizations to achieve sustainable advantages. This study…

Preservice teachers often face challenges in developing Socio-emotional, Technological, and Metacognitive Knowledge (STM-K) due to a lack of effective integration of digital tools in their training. Developing STM-K is crucial for preservice teachers as it equips them with essential skills for effective teaching, such as emotional intelligence,…

The pursuit of a PhD is associated with increased mental health risks, with commonly identified stressors that include supervision, financial constraints, hierarchical institutional culture, and specific work demands. However, previous investigations primarily relied on self-reported questionnaires. In this study, a convergent mixed-methods…

This study explores the comprehension and implementation of Internationalisation at Home (IaH) within universities in sending countries, an aspect often overlooked in previous research. Drawing upon the praxiology theory, a practice-focused ethnographic study was conducted at a regional university in China, specifically within a Sino-foreign…

The rapid development of information and communication technology has influenced the field of education, which can be utilized in the learning process through the application of technology in learning media usage. Abnormalities and disorders in the circulatory system are complex subtopics involving interconnected organs in the blood circulation…

This study investigates the effectiveness of siproman digital comics as a learning medium to enhance critical and creative thinking skills in biology, specifically on the human reproductive system. Recognizing the importance of these skills in the 21st century and their current low levels among students, this research employed Educational Design…

Purposefully publishing a fraudulent scholarly paper is considered research misconduct and never tolerated in academia. True scholars work hard to create and publish work in legitimate ways. However, fraudulent publishers--companies that solicit and quickly publish research papers without review or quality assurances that evaluate, judge, and…

The present study explored the processing units of high-proficiency second language (L2) Chinese learners in on-line reading in an eye-tracking experiment. The critical aim was to investigate how learners segment continuous characters into words without the aid of word boundary demarcations. Based on previous studies, the embedded words of 2- and…
