This study tested the notion that the impact of clarity (i.e., structure) on learning is indirect and occurs, in part, through the reduction of cognitive load and subsequently through students' motivation to process instructional information. Two hundred fifty-two students were randomly assigned to one of two text-based lessons (clear or unclear)…

The objective of this research was to assess the efficacy of project-based learning in enhancing the analysis of student worksheets in the domains of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) with the integration of the ecoprint technique, focusing on its influence on student motivation and creativity. This investigation was…

This study aims to determine how the use of virtual reality impacts physics students, their knowledge, and the quality of training. The study involved 116 students aged 17-19. The main purpose is to explore the effect that VR technology has on students' knowledge and motivation. As per usual, the students were divided into two research groups:…

Research shows that gamified learning experiences can effectively improve the outstanding issues of students in online learning, such as lack of continuous motivation and easy burnout, thereby improving the effectiveness of online learning. However, how to enhance the gamified learning experience in online learning, and what impact there is…

Being able to comprehend informal arguments in scientific texts is important for scientific literacy in higher education. Successful intervention studies demonstrating that these skills can be trained in university students have not yet provided evidence that gains of explicit training can be maintained beyond immediate post-training assessment.…

To address the challenge of improving the understanding of chemistry concepts, particularly pH, this study explored the impact of integrating educational robotics on students' motivation and learning outcomes. A total of 160 3rd-year middle school students from a public school in Meknes, Morocco, participated in the study, which was divided into…

A computer-based simulation is a viable approach for integrating the basics of science and technology in Junior Secondary. This study examined the impact of PhET on students' academic performance as well as students' motivation toward Basic Science and Technology. The study also investigates how PhET influence students' attitudes toward Basic…

Simulations are increasingly recognized for promoting active learning and student engagement and fostering career skills. Yet whether and how simulations facilitate learning, engagement, or both are still subjects of considerable debate. Many existing studies tend to be observational in design, constrained to a single semester, or reliant on…

This study examines the potential of combining Collaborative Learning (CL) and Active Learning (AL) to enhance vocational students' academic performance and self-motivation. CL fosters teamwork, social interaction, and shared responsibility, cultivating communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills essential for modern workplaces.…

This study sought to identify the barriers to effective teaching from the perspective of teachers in Qatar's government schools. This study used survey questionnaire data from the Qatar Education Study 2018, a nationally representative sample of 424 school teachers, to determine what they consider the top barriers facing them as they work to…

Considerable research on university undergraduates' struggles to master English for academic purposes (EAP) has been undertaken, yet little attention has been paid to the motivational needs of this specific learner group, or the fulfilment of such needs in university EAP courses. This study examines motivational strategies used by teachers of…

Background: Collaboration is a crucial concept in learning and has the potential to foster learning. However, the fact that collaborative groups act with a common understanding in a common task brings many difficulties. Therefore, there is a need for group regulation and guidance to support effective group regulation in collaborative learning. On…

Gamified flipped classroom (GFC) is becoming more and more popular. Is it more effective than traditional flipped learning? This meta-analysis explores the effects of GFC on students' learning based on 17 high-quality experimental articles. The results suggest that GFC has an upper-medium positive effect on students' learning (SMD = 0.769, p <…

This literature review explores the effectiveness of self-regulated learning (SRL) practices in public school classrooms as a means of improving student engagement, motivation, and academic success. Data was gathered from a collection of peer-reviewed articles on varying topics as they relate to self-regulated learning and student engagement,…

This study investigated the effectiveness of culturally relevant project-based learning to address the academic achievement gap between Black and Brown students and their White and Asian American peers at New Hope Elementary School. The research aimed to determine if culturally relevant project-based learning could enhance academic outcomes,…
