Background Study: Several meta-analysis studies have investigated the effects of mobile learning on learning performance. However, limited attention has been paid to pedagogy in mobile learning, making quantitative evidence of the effects of pedagogical approaches on learning performance in mobile learning scarce. Filling this gap can therefore…

Drawing on student approaches to learning research, this study combined both self-reported and process data to examine: (1) the extent of the alignment between the self-reported and process data of the profiles of 179 Chinese university students' learning experience in the flipped classrooms and (2) the contributions of the self-reported and…

Institutions of higher education are implementing Blended Learning (BL) approaches to supplement traditional courses in enhancing students' learning experiences. However, only fewer studies have examined BL acceptance based on the determinants that influence students' perception towards BL integration in improving learning performance.…

The switch to remote classes disrupted higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online courses have the potential to be especially disruptive in health fields, where more of the learning is hands-on and practice-based. Using detailed pre-COVID administrative data from a large, diverse public university, I study how online course delivery can…

A virtual classroom constructed with virtual reality technology enables a more intuitive and immersive experience for learners. The classroom climate is an important factor affecting students' learning experience and performance in a virtual environment. However, there is a lack of research on the role of climate on learning experience and…

In online education, it is widely recognized that interaction and engagement have an impact on students' academic performance. While previous research has extensively explored interactions between students, instructors, and content, there has been limited exploration of course design elements that promote the fourth type of interaction:…

Knowledge tracing (KT) aims to predict students' future performances based on their former exercises and additional information in educational settings. KT has received significant attention since it facilitates personalized experiences in educational situations. Simultaneously, the autoregressive (AR) modeling on the sequence of former exercises…

Innovative learning environments (ILE) with open flexible classroom spaces are designed to support collaboration and emphasise responsibility for self-regulated student learning as a partnership between students and teachers. Recent studies of ILE focus more on teachers than students' experiences, and there is a gap in the theorising of student…

According to Bandura's theory of reciprocal determinism, self-efficacy and academic achievement can have a mutual influence over one another. While empirical research generally supports this position, little focus has been given to within- and between-person factors that may moderate this relationship. The present study explored how initial…

Diving into the realm of game-based learning, the "CARBGAME" (CARd & Board GAmes in Medical Education) is an innovative series of games that reimagines the way medical students learn complex but essential chapters. In the pilot study, there was a highly significant improvement in the academic performance of students in the chapter…

Compared to the abundant generic research on technologies and education, few studies focus on the scope of whether the technologies used meet the expectations set forth in international reports and to what extent technology contributes to transforming educational practice. Our objective was to identify and analyze the characteristics of…

Background: Students' academic performance and learning experiences are crucial in school education, yet their relationships with instructional characteristics remain an open question. Aims: The present study examined how cognitive activation and teacher support were associated with students' academic emotions and achievement in math classrooms…

This Research Note discusses research on class size reduction (CSR). The research on CSR is not definitive but a contested, ongoing debate. The research on CSR has been severely limited by the singular focus on student academic performance, although some studies have sought to expand the conversation by focusing on the impact of CSR on teaching…

Student engagement is a multidimensional construct, indicates actual learning experiences and is affected by emotions. Negative and positive achievement emotions play an important role in engagement. In the light of Control-Value Theory and the Extended Process Model of Emotion Regulation, a model was developed and tested to investigate the…

Cooperative learning manifests itself as pair programming in coding education. There is a limited number of studies experimentally demonstrating that pair programming is effective in the educational context. Therefore, in this study, solo and pair programming were compared in terms of flow experience, coding quality, and coding achievement. The…
