This study explored students' perceptions of the library's impact on their academic success based on open-ended responses from a 2018 survey assessing student use and satisfaction. The qualitative findings demonstrated differences in the library resources students perceived as contributing to their achievements, based on such demographics as race,…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of student satisfaction on students' engagement and motivation in a mobile-based flipped classroom. A total of 222 university students taking the Computing I course designed as a mobile-based flipped classroom were recruited. Data were collected through three self-report instruments: the…

We are facing a lack of skilled and certified STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) teachers confined to schools with specific characteristics, such as working conditions and neighborhoods. It is essential to understand teachers' decision-making processes that affect teacher turnover rates to enable schools to retain and motivate STEM.…

This research contributes knowledge in forced remote learning during the unprecedented global pandemic situation of COVID-19. Using a cross-sectional…

Relative proximity theory contributes to the concept of distance in distance education by defining how far a current learning environment is from an ideal learning environment. As in Moore's (1993) theory of transactional distance, it defines distance as a psychosocial phenomenon but provides specificity to Moore's seminal theory for learning at a…
