The aim of this research is to determine the writing periods, writing types and writing purposes of pre-service primary school teachers. This research was conducted with the phenomenology method. In the determination of the participants, convenience sampling method and criterion sampling method were used. The participants of the research consisted…

Objectives: This study examined a new cognitive model of willingness to take environmental action. We posited that one's willingness to act is a feedback loop that starts with their values which lead to attitudes and then to one's beliefs, which are then mediated by negative and learner emotions. Method: Data were collected using the Survey of…

The ability to read and understand scientific information is necessary for the growth of a scientific society. Moreover, the reasons why they want to study different scientific fields are diverse. The validity and reliability of the Science Motivation Scale in Russia were investigated for this study. The first step was to determine whether or not…

An increasing number of students are entering university with reading difficulties--whether they be diagnosed or self-reported. Research demonstrates that university students who self-report a history of reading difficulties (HRD) have lower academic achievement and higher anxiety about academic performance as compared to peers without this…

This paper reported an AR based teaching method adopted during the movement control period for undergraduate engineering students to perform electrical machine laboratory. In this work, Unity 3D development platform and Vuforia Engine software development kit are applied to create the AR system. The content of the practical component is projected…

Gamification, or the intentional use of gaming elements in non-game contexts, has been touted as a promising tool to improve educational outcomes in online education, yet the evidence regarding why it might work and its effectiveness is inconclusive. One reason is that previous research has often included several gamification tools together,…

Given the role of scientific argumentation in science education (Osborne, 2010), argumentative discourse styles provide a means to understand the various dialogue types with distinct rhetorical features that individuals adopt during argumentative activities. Previous research indicates that different argumentative discourse styles lead to varied…

Purpose: The explosion of technology has revolutionized the teaching and learning process in higher education. Students are using the digital technology to aid their learning process. In this sense, digital divide exists among students in higher education as they come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Thus, this study aims to examine the…

The study describes the reality of learning motivation among students of the Faculty of Educational Sciences at Irbid National University in light of Active Learning Strategies. The study used the descriptive-analytical approach. The study sample was chosen using a simple random sampling method. The results showed that the reality of Active…

Homework completion is associated with learning achievement, but students' challenges revolve around meeting deadlines and preventing procrastination. Promoting students' self-regulated learning (SRL) can overcome these challenges. We explored the role of SRL (forethought and learning strategies) on the timeliness of homework submissions performed…

This study aims to examine the effects of physical variables (temperature, humidity, air quality, light, and sound) and those pertaining to the monitoring these physical variables on a group of students in terms of attention, motivation, attitudes, and perceptions of academic achievement (POA). The students were provided with a chance to monitor…

Background: Engineering curricula often consist of separate courses that do not form a cohesive learning experience. Researchers revised an undergraduate computer engineering curriculum at an urban university, seeking to improve motivation and achievement in an important population that is traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields.…

The association between student motivation and learning, and changes in motivation across a course, were evaluated for students enrolled in one-semester foundation-level inorganic chemistry courses at multiple postsecondary institutions across the United States. The Academic Motivation Scale for Chemistry (AMS-Chemistry) and the Foundations of…

Internships are a distinct learning context, given that interns possess a blurred role status between student and employee. The distinctiveness of an internship, as a learning context requires investigation of which individual-level factors predict learning during internships and subsequently, how this learning impacts the acquisition of relevant…

The increase in usage of Online Learning systems has provided a challenge to deliver e-contents based on user needs. This study uses learning style data to determine the learning profile and provide the content based on the user's needs, whereas gamified elements are used to increase user engagement. The combination of these two approaches would…
