Previous empirical studies have demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of using VR for education. However, the ambiguity in the definition has caused both theoretical and practical obstacles in this research area. This article aims to address this issue by considering the interdisciplinary nature of this research area. Specifically, the term VR-enabled learning is coined here, and the definition of VR-enabled learning is decomposed into five dimensions of concerns, namely immersion, presence, pedagogy, intended learning outcomes, and learner specifics. These five dimensions of concerns should not only help to address the ambiguity in the definition but also serve as a framework to guide the planning and practising of future research studies in VR-enabled learning.

Based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model, this study aims to identify factors that affect the choice of OGLP as a learning tool for students in hospitality and tourism. According to the gaming features of the OGLP, perceived playfulness was added as a technology acceptance factor. Furthermore, three variables (knowledge improvement, engagement, and immersion) were added as the antecedent factors of those technology acceptance factors. The results of survey data collected from 270 university students in Macau indicated that three antecedent factors have different levels of influence on performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and perceived playfulness. All technology acceptance factors (performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, perceived playfulness) except effort expectancy have a significant effect on behavioural intention toward the OGLP. This study provided recommendations for OGLP developers to optimise the design of OGLP. Journal: Int.

However, models to inform utilisation remain untested. This paper assesses two models of research utilisation to inform the practice of emergency managers. These are the science-push/demand-pull model and a socially interactive organisational model. The paper discusses findings from a 2018 survey that was used to investigate the perceived effectiveness of research utilisation. The findings show that both models are positively associated with implementation of research utilisation and perceived organisational learning. However, the socially interactive organisational model was a better fit to predict these indicators. Of the social interaction variables, conversations and communities-of-practice were positively associated with utilisation. The findings show that more work is needed to understand the organisational conditions that facilitate successful implementation of research outcomes. Journal: Int.

Self-regulation enhances learning performance Abstract: Media multitasking has been proven to distract university students, impairing their academic performance. However, the mobile media generation, raised with instant access to mobile internet, used to dividing their attention between online and offline activities, could be expected to multitask productively. This is why a sample of 46 students, homogenous in terms of age, cultural background and field of study, was subjected to an experiment. Given the opportunity, a majority of participants engaged in distractive online activities during a face-to-face university class. Electronics usage appeared to affect their overall data retention as well as memory for two out of three specific types of information. Nevertheless, self-regulated technology use (for class-related purposes only) correlated with high learning results. Low mean electronics usage throughout the experiment, both self-reported and actual, combined with participants' written comments on consequences of media multitasking, indicates that students are aware of the detrimental impact of media distraction on academic performance. The findings demonstrate that the best academic results could be achieved by incorporating class-related online activities into the learning process. Journal: Int.

A six-dimensional model defines it as: smart people, smart economy, smart governance, smart mobility, smart environment, and smart living. Smart cities have developed a number of solutions for a better quality of life, using a wide range of ICTs, often interconnected into an integrated platform, which was researched in the article. Surveying the urban population of Slovenia shows preference for use of smart city ICT solutions, especially with perceived improvement of quality of life, connected to growing simultaneously with the city size. Interest in the use of smart city ICT services increases with ICT skills but is not affected by age and education level. Journal: Int.

The results of statistical analysis of data collected from 400 e-commerce consumers using structural equation modelling indicate that males are affected by perceived website quality and convenience, while females are affected by security, economic reasons, convenience and social influence. Furthermore, consumers under 30 years old are affected by convenience and perceived website quality, while consumers who were 30 years old and above are affected by facilitating conditions, economic reasons, security and social influence. Thus, the associations of social influence, economic reasons and security with purchase intention are moderated by gender and age. These findings are beneficial for e-commerce research and businesses from the viewpoint of Indonesian consumers' motivations categorised according to gender and age. Journal: Int.

This paper aims to explore characteristics of assessment instruments and trends in measuring inductive reasoning through a systematic review based on the PRISMA guidelines. The article reviews 38 empirical studies in educational contexts from 1997 to 2020. We found that the types of inductive reasoning tasks appeared unchanged over 23 years, but they grew more diverse and gradually evolved from paper-based to technology-based administration, in which non-verbal analogy problems have formed the most common subtest in evaluating inductive reasoning. The review findings also showed that inductive reasoning is closely related to numerous variables, such as age, discipline performance, scientific reasoning and problem-solving skills, while gender differences may depend on particular cultures. Correspondingly, the proposed focus was discussed to further assess this ability. Journal: Int.

These potentials can be harnessed in improving the acceptance of social media in informal learning. Informal learning has broken the barriers inherent in the old order of formal learning. However, there is a lack of research in social media acceptance relating to informal learning for academic researchers. This research aims to develop an acceptance model of social media for informal learning from an academic researcher's perspective. To achieve this aim, this research integrates two theories as to the foundation for the development of the model: technology acceptance model 3 and theory of constructivism. The proposed model was evaluated using the quantitative approach with social media users. The proposed model includes key technological, individual, and interactive factors. The findings of this study provide an understanding of the interaction of social media and informal learning. Journal: Int.

Because design studios serve to help students learn nebulous and iterative design practices, teaching design studio courses is extremely demanding; yet, existing academic literature offers no prescriptive pedagogical guidance for supervising and managing design studios. The major contribution of this article is the explication of a prescriptive design studio pedagogy that can be used across all design disciplines. This explication comes through the construction of a conceptual model and the population of that model with practical guidance. The guidance will be illustrated with examples from the field of instructional design and technology. This article concludes with implications for additional related scholarship. Journal: Int.

These non-biodegradable plastics were then thrown away and became wastes. Some of these plastic wastes were re-processed without any proper environmental protection controls which eventually caused the rapid destruction of the Anthropocene. It was estimated that more than 19 million kilograms of plastic wastes were spotted in the ocean annually. The adoption of a small-scale research project, the floating trash collector robot as the means of cleaning the water bodies was proposed. The robot is a semi-autonomous vehicle and is equipped with integrated sensors with a centralised computational processing system (CPS). The unique architecture of the exoskeleton design enables this robot to collect floating plastic wastes. This system is highly suitable and applicable to be used for Brunei's historical floating water village. This technology could also be adopted for other places in the world where plastic pollutions required intervention using an innovative solution. Journal: Int.

In learning websites, most of the students are required to know how to interact with the websites' interface. The UI designer could increase students' motivation by designing user-friendly and attractive learning websites. Gamification is a well-known method in designing attractive UI, which can also influence people's behaviour. One of the best models in gamification for assessment of the learning strength is ARCS model. However, despite many studies about the UI design, there has been little research on the perspectives of both UI design and attractive learning by using the gamification method. This paper is among the first researches in which UI and ARCS motivational model have been studied simultaneously in the context of learning mathematics. It was also aimed to compare the effect of graphical learning websites on the student's increase in learning abilities. Journal: Int.

Unfortunately, the factors that lead to effective RE interviews are often vaguely and contentiously delineated. In this paper, we describe our development and use of a multivocal, ethnographic framework employed to discover a rich set of critical success factors for effective RE interviews. Our interpretive framework emphasises <i>performance ethnography</i> along with other ethnographic techniques that are rigorously described and used to yield practical results. We then discuss and elaborate on our relevant findings that include eight critical success factors and practical lessons learned. We close with a discussion of our work and its place within the larger context of RE research in the information systems field. Journal: Int.

Based on the experiences of two universities from Poland and Slovenia, the authors characterise four cases of using Moodle and MS Teams in higher education. The authors present the examples of online courses and analyse how to combine the explored systems' features to generate synergetic effects and improve course outcomes. The performed analysis indicates that Moodle is a great, complex tool but a complicated platform. In contrast, MS Teams is a new, contemporary designed and relatively simple tool. It offers simplicity, real-time communication, and office 365 integration. Those features can be useful in business and education, particularly when the case method is preferred. Moodle and MS Teams can be integrated to get double benefits: a highly structured and administrated course (Moodle) plus extended collaboration and communication possibilities (MS Teams).

There is a shortage of published research in various social-cultural settings in developing countries, with the majority of the literature coming from developed and/or western countries. In this context, this study aims to determine the prevalence of cyberbullying and investigate factors associated with cyberbullying in Kuwaiti private high schools, such as age, parental role, school role, educational level, and educational performance factors. The study was carried out on a sample of 700 students aged 14 to 18 and the results indicate that cyberbullying is common in Kuwaiti private schools and is age-related. Several students, however, indicated that cyberbullying had no impact on academic success. Furthermore, the study found that cyberbullying has a detrimental effect on cyberbullying victims' psychological well-being. Furthermore, positively engaged and considerate parents and schools contribute to the reduction of cyberbullying. According to the study's results, school-based counselling centres are required to deal with cyberbullying situations. Anti-bullying activities should be developed and implemented in these facilities. They should also raise students' awareness of prevention and coping strategies. Journal: Int.

The combined method of qualitative and quantitative research is meant to better reflect participants' perspectives and reinforce scientific interaction. The samples for this study were 272 primary and secondary school teachers from 26 different Kosovo municipalities, as well as ten primary and secondary school principals from five Kosovo municipalities. The results of this study show that school principals have a limited understanding of the quality teaching and learning standard. Findings show that school principals understand some of the qualities of effective teaching and learning, and they practice some leadership activities to foster implementation of the quality teaching and learning standard. The results of this study help identify the extent to which school principals in Kosovo are focused on the quality teaching and learning standard and serve as recommendations for improvement.

Merging theory with practical activities is an efficient way to strengthen the learning process. However, SARS-CoV-2 pandemic hard tested the possibility to perform them. This article aims at describing/evaluating the way Humanitas University managed this issue implementing innovative flipped-learning-based activities. The five-day neurology lab was re-designed aiming at avoiding unnecessary contacts, maximising skills acquisition and meeting students' needs, satisfaction, expectations. Mandatory SARS-CoV-2 serology/swab testing before activities' beginning assured every student's safety. Student's satisfaction assessment, performed through two online questionnaires, showed that the new organisation of the neurological lab received significantly higher appreciation compared to previous year's activities. Flipped-learning-based activities helped grasping the essence of different neurological syndromes and the required skills to recognise them. In view of this, we believe that flipped-learning-based activities could constitute a powerful innovative method to build solid knowledge in the neurology field. Journal: Int.

Gradually, it is being realised that synchronous online classes are required to enhance the teaching-learning experience. The major challenge in India is the lack of preparedness of the teachers, as most teachers have little experience with technology. Nevertheless, they have to adapt themselves quickly. However, to effectively use technology for synchronous online teaching, teachers have to be technology ready and proficient with utilising the platform used for online classes. This study attempts to understand the impact of teachers' preparedness on the use of online platforms for synchronous teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper integrates the technology readiness index (TRI) and technology acceptance model (TAM), also known as the TR and acceptance model (TRAM), to investigate the phenomenon mentioned above.

We conducted a qualitative study of social representations of key exchange partners – leaders and career beginners. In the first phase, we conducted semi-structured interviews to identify the dominant social representations that small business leaders (<i>N</i> = 9) hold about career beginners. In the second phase, we examined how future career beginners (<i>N</i> = 26) responded to five hypothetical work situations based on the leaders' social representations. The social exchange partners shared the narrative that career growth, advancement, and financial incentives are important motivators for career beginners, but contradicted each other in their accounts of career beginners' initiative levels and in their accounts of preferred leadership styles. The findings help to raise awareness of the mutual representations and expectations of different age groups in the work context. Journal: Int.

This article presents the current situation in these two countries with regard to providing clinical legal education as the most innovative and effective teaching method in this area, and recommends solutions based on the most appropriate international models. An analysis of the relevant official documents, scientific articles, and law study programs of many universities in Europe shows that live legal clinics are an integral part of law programs. Currently, there are no live legal clinics in Kosovo and Montenegro as part of law study programs, and this must be remedied if they are to provide an effective legal education. A combination of the Croatian and Polish models could be the solution. Thus, the key contribution of this paper is the proposal of a novel model for effective legal education for two countries under research. Journal: Int.

Phase 1 involved administration of self-report surveys with (N = 364) undergraduate students in Thailand to identify the motivation-related factors most likely to predict CI. Results revealed that the factors were intrinsic motivation (IM) and self-efficacy (SE). Phase 2 involved the design of the framework with strategies to foster IM and SE, a project-based learning approach, a design thinking process and use of the social networking site, Facebook. In Phase 3, the framework was implemented in an educational technology program in which students (N = 40) collaborated, communicated and interacted in Facebook groups to design websites. Analysis of results of pre- and post-surveys revealed significantly higher self-reports for IM, SE and CI. Journal: Int.

Reported here is a quasi-experimental study of a comparison between a PBL approach and a traditional lecture method. The study recruited 55 Taiwanese sixth-grade students (ages 11-12), and examined the effects of PBL on their performance on GCF and LCM and on their attitudes towards mathematics. A comparison of the groups on pre and post-tests showed that the treatment group had a higher mean score on the post-test than the control group. Results of the students' responses to pre and post-questionnaires indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the groups on the post-questionnaire, implying that PBL has a positive impact on students' attitudes towards mathematics.

The research on enabling innovation activities in public hospitals is limited. This study identified key factors that enable innovation activities by combining statements made by representatives from management (n = 13) and personnel (n = 9) at one Finnish public university hospital. The study used semi-structured interviews and content analysis. According to the results, unified and authorised practices are needed to counterbalance and organise the extreme complexity typical of public hospitals. Both, hospital personnel and management called for assistance with complementary expertise in innovation management. Journal: Int.

Pre and post-tests were conducted across grade-two pupils in Kuwait. Using paired sample t-test and ANCOVA on data of 46 pupils, findings reveal a significant difference in the intervention compared to the comparison group (conventional whiteboard). Results show that the interactive whiteboards intervention explains between 10.90% and 39.00% of post-attitude and post-academic achievement in mathematics word problems. Theoretically, it contributes to the theory of meaningful learning and retention through attitude and retention in achievement to improve and enhance students' ability to learn, recall, and solve mathematical word problems.

Massive open online course (MOOC) is the leading online education with large-scale open classes. South Korea has localised 1,340 MOOCs known as K-MOOCs. However, K-MOOCs are not being managed effectively, and are generally low-level lectures compared to MOOCs. The variance-based structural equation modelling (SEM) using the partial least squares (PLS) model was applied for data analysis. Online surveys and analysis of 224 respondents studied 14 hypotheses and analysed eight factors to improve K-MOOC operation in South Korea. Findings indicated 'authentic learning' positively affects 'learning transfer'; 'gamification', 'teaching presence' and 'reputation' positively affect 'satisfaction' and 'commitment'. 'Learning transfer' and 'satisfaction' impacts 'continuous use intention'. Furthermore, 'commitment' positively affects 'satisfaction', and 'continuous use intention'. This research suggests that these factors must be taken into account when constructing teaching methods and educational content to improve K-MOOCs continuous usage. Journal: Int.

Actors in this environment need to understand value co-creation during interaction and collaboration. The purpose of this study is to investigate the triple helix collaborative capabilities in an Industry 4.0 ecosystem context. The case under study is a Finnish national publicly funded research project involving five global manufacturers, three research institutions, and several small-and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). The results demonstrate that practices related to adaptivity, experience sharing, SME co-innovation and scale up can enable the ecosystem to be managed in a dynamic way. Yet, this type of operation requires the adoption of the ecosystem approach with mutual trust, intensive collaboration and the identification of common aims among the project participants. The presented co-innovation model can be used to design innovation ecosystem projects in the future. Journal: Int.

The paper employs the explanatory approach to concentrate on the questions raised and identify the causal relationships among the study variables. A triangulation of data collection is used, in the form of survey, interviews and observation, on a sample of 52 enrolled students and educators to support the results reached from the data analysis with qualitative evidences. Findings reached demonstrate that among the different determinants, those related to the attitudes and evaluations of the audience play the most effective roles. Journal: Int.

The hypotheses were tested using paper-based surveys and scales distributed to 105 teachers. Findings indicated that the relationship between teachers and school principals (LMX) was significantly positively associated with intrapreneurial activities. A high quality relationship was also connected to entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and mediated by the teachers' work engagement. In addition, EO mediated between LMX, work engagement and intrapreneurial activities. In addition, four different machine learning algorithms were used to evaluate the hypotheses by classifying the study data. Naïve Bayes was found to outperform logistic regression and the other classification methods. This study is one of the few to explore intrapreneurial behaviour in educational institutions and thus contributes to theory and practice in understanding how innovation behaviours take place in schools, and its implications for the education arena.

This journey of a couple of decades could witness many state-of-the-art pedagogy-related technologies, but the methods to assess the benefits of such technologies like video lecture capturing (VLC) are not specific. Mostly, the causal factors that influence the opinion about the benefits of VLC being subjective, the present research paper aims to explore such factors and assess the benefits of the VLC from the perspective of graduate students in Qatar. Thus, three benefit dimensions – personality-related, course-related and learning-related – are considered, and the questionnaire is developed according to the students' opinions about these benefits gained from VLC. Due to the study constraints, only female students, spanning over two semesters (Sem1 and Sem2) and four courses (CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4) of a reputed university in Qatar are considered for the study.

This research design involved two phases of research and development, with 16 fourth-year nursing students selected by purposive sampling. The data collected were analysed with scoring rubrics, descriptive statistics and content analysis. The instructional model called the 'DGR model' employed the following five steps: 1) preparation and inspiration; 2) data discovery and problem identification; 3) information retrieval and verification solutions; 4) development and inspection of innovation prototypes; 5) dissemination and reflection on learning. The model for nursing innovation capacity of nursing students, which has been promoted to an average score of the capacity to create nursing innovation at a good level, produced more than the specific criteria with a statistically significant level of 0.05.

This qualitative study explored the outcomes of the implementation of an out-of-class extensive reading module to enhance perceived English reading self-efficacy of lower secondary students in a slum area in Bangkok, Thailand. The pre- and post-perceived reading self-efficacy tests, reading logs, teacher observation notes, and interview protocols were used to collect data in the study. The findings revealed that out-of-class extensive reading activities could help promote students' perceived reading self-efficacy as it suited the specific characteristics of underserved students and motivated them to read. Thus, the out-of-class extensive reading module could be utilised to enhance perceived reading self-efficacy, which, in turn, could help develop reading ability of underserved students. Journal: Int.

Technological solutions can be used to make it easier for tourists to meet their needs. This study aims to analyse the features needed by tourists in the smart tourism application. The determination of these features is based on the user experience (UX) concepts. This research creates a mapping of pain points and opportunities felt by various tourism stakeholders in each tourism journey and then maps the important features to be implemented to solve the existing problems. From the 15 pain points and two opportunities identified, we determined 37 features for ICT-based solutions divided into 11 feature groups. The features that have been identified are then sorted using the entropy method. The ranking results indicate that the features of information search (such as destinations, attractions, transportation, and accommodation information), features that provide recommendations (such as amenities and itinerary recommendations), and travel plans simulation are the most important features for tourists.

Specifically, the LPA of confections located in the city of Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, Pernambuco, formed mainly by small companies, was studied. For this, the survey method was used and analysed through partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results had shown the interorganisational learning in this network is constituted by the intention of the small and medium companies (SMEs) to cooperate with the partners of the spaces known and made available by the network, called <i>Ba</i>; the importance of recognising the value of the information made available in this network environment that is later acquired, transformed, and ultimately used or stored by these companies. The interorganisational learning model found in this productive arrangement demonstrates that companies do not absorb knowledge through assimilation, differently from other studies. Journal: Int.

We examine systemic relationships among employees' perception of organisational support, the quality of leader-member exchanges, and leader intellectual stimulation on employee innovativeness. Findings from structural equation modelling show that the joint effects of a working environment perceived by employees as supportive, high-quality leader-subordinate relationships, and leader's intellectual stimulation efforts may generate synergetic effects on employee innovativeness. Importance-performance analysis affirms the centrality of perceived organisational support on employee innovativeness. Research results suggest the increasing importance of legacy and indirect leadership effects on employee innovativeness.

Education is the basic right of all children. Diversity is seen as an advantage and opportunity to make schools more inclusive, but educational inequality is greatest among the Roma. Education has an important role, as schools work on integration processes. Research on teachers' attitudes towards Roma children show that their willingness to work with Roma students needs strengthening. First, we present the current situation in the inclusion of Roma in schools. Next, we focus on analysis of the RoMigSc project data related to inclusion of Roma children at school. The analysis showed that educators and volunteers do not see Roma students as well-included in schools; the main obstacle for this is their low school attendance. Also, there is low cooperation between non-Roma and Roma students and parents, and Roma parents and schools, despite the schools' efforts. Journal: Int.

First, using a least square multivariate regression analysis based on the sample of panel data on Slovenian municipalities from 2013 to 2016, we found that the existing connection between the needs of industry and secondary education system in Slovenia via corporate scholarships is not efficient, which forms the basis for rejecting the hypothesis of the effects of that connection on youth unemployment. The key result of further qualitative research-based on the content analysis method applied to a data sample collected through semi-structured interviews (quota sampling) is a new model for achieving a sustainable dialogue between the secondary vocational and technical education system and the needs of economic sectors, with the aim of increasing the employability of young people and enhancing their innovativeness.

In 2019, the global halal food market reached a value of US$ 1.8 trillion; it expresses that this industry has strong potential to grow in the near future. The bakery industry is recognised as the main industry of the halal food market. This industry is certifiable under the 'Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM)', the sole authority for halal in Malaysia. Despite halal, certification is a strong marketing promotion tool. The main objective of this research was to test the impact of intellectual capital on the business performance of SMEs. Structured survey forms were used to gather the primary data from 185 respondents that were picked through the purposive sampling technique. Results showed that the proposed six hypotheses were supported. This research contributed to the theory of intellectual capital and proposed recommendations for the policy makers and entrepreneurs.

This paper, therefore, investigates the applications of two active learning approaches that are role-playing and gamification in an introductory MIS course from 2016 to 2019. The active learning approaches are conducted through student-led group assignments. The effectiveness of role-playing and gamification in terms of students' perceived usefulness, engagement intention, and satisfaction are explored by a quantitative method, using an online questionnaire. This paper provides a comparison between two approaches and the guideline for effectively implementing them in a course from the students' viewpoint. The study shows an example of student-led active learning activities, which reveals the opportunities for IS faculty to easily apply and research further. Journal: Int.

Data is based on the grades and student evaluations of 282 students from two cohorts who in 2020 experienced in-class and online teaching consecutively, and compares academic performance in both learning environments considering the existing relationship between student evaluations and teacher-student interaction. Results show differences in academic performance on the final exam between the two modes, however, these differences are not related to the student evaluation of the lecturer nor teacher-student interaction as these remained unalterable despite the transition from in-class to online learning. The conclusion is that it is possible to maintain an optimum quality of education without alterations in student evaluations or in teacher-student interaction in both online and in-class contexts. However, it is necessary to design a course appropriate assessment strategy consistent with the specific learning environment. Journal: Int.

The methodology articulates partial least squares and data envelopment analysis. The data represents the standardised exams conducted by the Colombian Institute for the Quality of Education from 2012 to 2019. The results indicate that 42% of the degrees that receive students with high levels of high school knowledge cannot add value to higher education learning outcomes. In parallel, 21% of the programs that receive students with low academic performance in high school can reach high-performance learning outcomes in higher education. In conclusion, the present methodology contributes to the spectrum of knowledge of models that support decision-making in the educational field to focus on improving academic levels and educational quality.

Nine student volunteers from one of the polytechnics in Malaysia participated in three rounds of video-annotated peer feedback sessions to improve their oral presentation skills. Even though video-annotated peer feedback was found to focus primarily on 'structure' and 'body language', most of the feedback were specific and cognitive feedback consisting of summary comments, problem/strength identification, solution and explanatory comments were identified. Collectively, students perceived the use of video-annotated peer feedback positively in their learning. The prominent themes emerging from the analysis of students' journal entries: students' active engagement in creative problem-solving, enhanced understanding of weaknesses in doing oral presentation and students' self-reflection seem to confirm the potential pedagogical benefits of using this approach in teaching of oral presentation.

This study is aimed at explaining the relationship between open innovation (OI), trust, and NPD performance in SMEs. Data is collected through a survey from 123 Thai SMEs in food manufacturing involved in launching new product during 2017 to 2019. The data was analysed by descriptive statistics and PLS-SEM. The results show that outbound OI practice has a direct effect on enhancing NPD performance, whereas inbound and coupled OI implementation need trust as a mediator, thus having an indirect effect on such performance. The findings reveal that SMEs in food manufacturing need to recognise the importance of open innovation along with the building of trust, if they are to achieve higher NPD performance. Journal: Int.

A single-group repeated experiment was conducted, involving 34 pre-service science teachers from a large research university in central China. Data about students' argumentation abilities and attitudes towards the thinking tools was collected. The finding was that compared with the use of a diagram-based thinking tool, the pre-service science teachers ranked higher in argumentation skills when using a text-based online collaborative visual thinking tool. Although they agreed that the online collaborative visual diagram-based thinking tool could better reflect their thinking processes, they also tended to use the online text-based visual thinking tool.

To address those problems, this study proposed an innovative instructional model for maker education, which was enabled by augmented reality (AR) technology and was informed by the theories of collaborative learning and disciplinary integration. After three iterations of design, evaluation, and revision, the study empirically refined the proposed model of maker education and validated a set of instructional design principles, including relevant task context, general inquiry sequence, diverse scaffolding, flexible collaboration strategies, and extended instruction time. The study results indicated that AR can be used as a adhesive to integrate subject content from various disciplines, and thus can inspire creative thinking and collaborative inquiry for students. The study concluded with six validated instructional design principles for conducting AR-supported maker education in elementary school. Journal: Int.

The study covers two school years, considering the impacts of students' transition from in-person (offline) learning in 2019, to remote (online) classes in 2020. The findings indicate that there was a significant 34% increase in the number of students who described the online course as challenging in 2020 when compared to 2019. The majority of students indicated a preference for direct consultation between their peers and the instructors, in-person as opposed to online. Students' opinions on the efficacy of pre-learning also varied widely from student to student according to their own preferences, interests, and objectives. The results may provide some useful insights for instructors developing their own flipped learning strategies in this rapidly evolving learning environment. Journal: Int.

Nonetheless, such spaces also pose challenges for students as well as teachers. The present study is a qualitative inquiry into teachers' negative emotions through class observation and in-depth interviews with 21 teachers teaching in synchronous online classrooms in rural China. The findings revealed that teachers' emotional responses in synchronous online classrooms were highly relevant to teachers' assessment of their perceptions and expectations of student behaviours and their coping with teaching problems. The study also offered insight into the impacts of online technology and culture on teacher roles, identity and teaching experience. The research findings can contribute to the theory of teacher emotions and can also inform school administrators and policymakers about the potential challenges facing teachers in synchronous online classrooms.
