The unanticipated switch from face-to-face learning to online education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a lack of familiarization preparation for students, potentially hampering their learning processes in several ways. The success of online learning is primarily based on the quality of the information systems, self-regulated learning,…

Engagement in research is crucial for university academics to fulfil their tripartite roles related to teaching, research, and service. While there is a substantial literature that examines how academics perceive and engage in research, studies investigating research engagement of academics in the Global South remain limited. Employing a…

Pre-service teacher education (PSTE) has largely been excluded from investments in foundational literacy and numeracy in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This approach has consequences for sustainability due to the central role of PSTE in supporting lasting educational change. In this literature review, we examine key challenges facing…

The purpose of this article is to analyse the gendered motivations of students to undertake doctoral research in a low-income country (LIC), Mozambique. Most research on PhD student motivation is done in high-income countries where the drivers for doing a PhD are quite different from those of people living in LICs. Drawing on original empirical…

Postdigital education has become a major subject receiving attention and consideration from various perspectives. For instance, there are crucial issues revolving around the meaning of "postdigital" in the context of education with regard to its implications for educational research and practice and its impact on the learning spaces of…

Due to the global spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, higher education institutions are now increasingly emphasising online interactive learning. Higher education institutions are currently investigating the potential of metaverse technology to enhance…

The study aims to improve the existing unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) framework to understand the adoption of e-learning platforms in developing countries and to understand the relevance of the quality of study life among students. The constructs for the UTAUT model were chosen based on the e-learning study context and…

This dissertation addresses the critical issue of student e-readiness for online learning, particularly in developing countries where the challenges and disparities in access to technology and digital literacy are pronounced. Despite the increasing adoption of online education, the readiness of students to effectively engage in e-learning remains…

This academic inquiry examines the efficacy of virtual reality (VR)-based pedagogy for higher learning, specifically analyzing immersive digital instruction for rural agriculture undergraduates studying soil science in Colombia. The investigation tests two hypotheses: first, simulated learning situations improve academic achievement and student…

Research on information systems has identified a variety of factors across a range of adoption models that determine their acceptance. In this research, the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), which integrates determinants across eight models, was utilised to analyse students' intentions to use and their actual usage of…

Based on the spatial Durbin model, this paper explored postgraduate education's influence and spatial effects on technological innovation. Using China's provincial panel data from 2004 to 2018, study results revealed that distribution of postgraduates in China showed spatial autocorrelation and non-equilibrium. Overall, postgraduate education…

The objective of this study was to explore and empirically investigate the relationship between the labour force across educational levels and foreign direct investment (FDI), and to facilitate comparisons of education statistics and indicators across countries based on uniform and internationally agreed definitions.
