This study attempts to fill in this research gap. An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) was utilised in mathematics online instruction in many elementary and middle schools in China. It supports individualised teaching and learning and has positive effect on students' learning. Two case studies are introduced to illustrate the system's functions and effects on students' mathematics learning performance. In the first case, a mathematics teacher in a junior high school provided the students with differentiated assignments during the epidemic. In the second case, a teacher in a primary school utilised the ITS to implement blended learning after the epidemic. Quasi-experiments were conducted and the regular examination's data analysis result shows that the treatment group outperformed the control group. Journal: Int.

The use of mixed methods in this study developed a better understanding of secondary students' decisions towards vocational education. The results obtained from different methods have enriched the understanding of vocational education issues and advanced research in vocational education. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used to analyse the perceptions of 802 secondary students from six Thai regions toward vocational education. In-depth interviews with 18 students in grades 7-12 were analysed using a content analysis. Secondary students who had completed or were enrolled in vocational education influenced secondary students' views on vocational education. A new paradigm is required for new vocational education images, which may modify the image of vocational education and contribute to a new paradigm shift in vocational education. Journal: Int.

This research paper aimed to explore the combined influence of non-cognitive and cognitive predictors in forecasting the academic performance of students, measured by university grade point average (GPA), at the end of the second year in university in Saudi Arabia. Results indicate that the key predictors of university GPA were academic achievement test/general aptitude test (AAT/GAT) scores and High School GPA (HSGPA). Pre-university cognitive abilities (AAT, GAT, and HSGPA) were collected from 1,121 participant students. Academic self-efficacy (AS), achievement motivation (AM), academic engagement (AE), and social engagement (SE) of students as key non-cognitive abilities for academic performance were determined. A moderate positive correlation between cognitive factors and AS and AM was found. On the contrary, a weak negative correlation was found with the AE and SA. Using the stepwise regression analysis, AS, AM, and AE together significantly predicted the university GPA over and above AAT, GAT, and HSGPA. A binary logistic regression analysis model was able to predict college of medicine students with a percentage of 68.4% without prior knowledge of university GPA. Journal: Int.

A remote mediating model was used with mindfulness as an independent variable, job satisfaction (JS) and in-role behaviour (IRB) as mediating variables, and organisational citizenship behaviour - individual (OCBI) and organisational citizenship behaviour - organisation (OCBO) as dependent variables. Questionnaires were delivered to 381 employees in Vietnam. A path analysis was used with bootstrapping estimation for hypothesis testing. The findings showed that: 1) employee mindfulness could be a predictor of JS, IRB, OCBI and OCBO; 2) JS can be a predictor of IRB, OCBI and OCBO; 3) IRB can be a predictor of OCBI and OCBO; 4) with JS and IRB as mediating variables in sequence, mindfulness has a partial remote mediating effect on both OCBI and OCBO. The findings suggested that companies should pay attention to the mindfulness of interviewees when recruiting new employees. Journal: Int.

It offers an alternative mode of learning for educational institutions during critical situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. While e-learning has gained growing attention in the current literature, a significant gap is left unaddressed for emerging economies, particularly the Philippines. In this paper, the factors of e-learning in a higher education institution in the Philippines are analysed. A data mining approach is used to predict the satisfaction of higher education students given eleven features of the subjects. Four classifiers: 1) logistic regression; 2) support vector machine; 3) multilayer perceptron; 4) decision tree, are used to develop the predictive models. The findings reveal that the features considered in this paper can be used to accurately predict the student satisfaction towards e-learning of higher education students in the Philippines.

This study aims to explore the influencing factors and satisfaction of the Chinese mainland students studying abroad and to further explore the effect of word-of-mouth marketing for international students. In this study, Push-Pull-Mooring model was used to construct the research model and the partial least square method of the structural equation model was used for analysis. The results indicate that schooling motivation and the experience will positively affect learning satisfaction. The impact of experience on learning satisfaction is greater than the schooling motivation on learning satisfaction, and schooling motivation has a positive impact on the experience. In addition, learning satisfaction has a positive and significant impact on word of mouth. Finally, this research puts forward specific suggestions on the school's enrolment strategy. Journal: Int.

Abstract: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries have prohibited physical and social gatherings. The same applies in the education sector, where open houses are forbidden. To help solve the issue, we decided to investigate the impact of virtual tour experiences on enrolment intentions. The virtual tour is a simulation experience incorporating various media device. The experiences felt by the participants were compiled via a survey participated by 325 high school students in Indonesia, where results were evaluated by PLS-SEM. The results show that enrolment intention is affected by four difference experiences. The sensory and behavioural experiences involve the physical actions related to the experience. The emotional and intellectual experiences involve the relationship between the participant's psychology and the university's image. This is one the earliest studies on the impact of virtual tours on enrolment intentions. It can be an effective method through its ability to give first-hand experience around the university.

In this sense, we analysed factors contributing to the improvement and continuity of partnerships between university, government, and industry. For this, we observed institutional partnerships in Pará (Amazon region) according to the structure of the Triple Helix model. We applied the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure their technological productivity and the social network analysis (SNA) to illustrate their connections. We found that the insufficiency of the transformation industry might have limited the entrepreneurial potential of universities and the development of the innovation system in that region. This way, our experiment contributes to the Amazon innovation system (AIS) knowledge and attends to recent calls to adapt traditional models to present different realities of technological collaboration.

However, there remain questions about how SMEs cope, survive, and develop strategies that orchestrate resilience during these times. Using a sample of 3,355 SMEs management configuration systems from European Union, the study explores how SMEs resiliently prevailed during the 2008 financial crisis and decade onwards. The study, considered return on equity (ROE) ratio as a measure of resilience, explored the association of SMEs' dynamic managerial capabilities, tested the significance of management configurations, and proposed an innovative framework that aims to improve competitiveness. The research demonstrated that top management configurations coupled with human resource management (HRM) could promote resilient performance during crisis and uncertain business environments. In addition, the study offers choices on management configuration to decision makers, highlights the research limitations and future studies. Journal: Int.

This research explores the effects of COVID-19 and the barriers to adequate classes not face-to-face in higher education in universities in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The data was collected through online questionnaires to 856 students. The data were analysed using SPSS V26 software through factor analysis. The findings point to unfavourable effects, such as the fact that it impairs appropriate learning, extends the amount of time spent studying, creates debt for parents, and restricts pre-professional practises. On the other hand, to ensure that students can participate in non-contact classes during the pandemic, it will be necessary to overcome obstacles such as low levels of digital literacy, limited levels of connectivity, limited availability of shared computer equipment with family members, and insufficient instructional methods.

Final course grades, in GPA format, of 574 students were collected over the course of three academic years. Assumptions of analysis of variance (ANOVA), post hoc tests, effect sizes Cohen's d were examined. The statistically significant difference across four different instructional delivery methods showed effect sizes that grew from medium to large to very large when increasing the amount of online instruction. These findings surpass other studies and suggest a high practical significance. The consequences of COVID19 on instructional delivery methods had a favourable effect on students' grades. Higher education institutions in the UAE may use these findings for future planning, even beyond the pandemic. Recommendations are made for further research to include more variables and other disciplines. Journal: Int.

The electronic module chassis dynamometer is one of the learning aids that allows students to improve their competency outcomes while also supporting student learning independence. The electronic module integrated job sheet (E-MIJS) chassis dynamometer is a digital teaching material designed to facilitate students in the independent learning process in achieving the expected competencies. The 4D model development process was employed, which consists of four stages of development: definition, design, development, and distribution. The results showed that E-MIJS was placed in the appropriate category by material and media specialists. The difference in learning outcomes between pre-test and post-test findings demonstrates that E-MIJS is an effective and efficient tool for improving student competence. Journal: Int.

Structural equation modelling was used to evaluate the relationships in the research model. The hypotheses proposed in our research model were tested on a sample of 244 bank managers from all Brazilian regions. Results show that internal locus of control has a positive and significant effect on creativity at work; conversely, external locus of control has a non-significant effect on creativity at work. In addition, internal locus of control has a positive and significant effect on both cognitive and behavioural learning strategies. Cognitive learning strategies have a positive and significant effect on creativity at work, which indicates that workplace informal learning strategies partially mediate the relationship between locus of control and creativity at work.

Data were classified into three sets at different collection periods and locations. Data envelopment analysis (DEA), a non-parametric method, was employed to evaluate the efficiency of each cultivar in each location. The effect of uncertainty was also captured using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. Various inputs such as soil pH value, soil nutrients, and rainfall were considered, whereas the outputs measured diverse perspectives of efficiencies. Although different datasets were analysed, HB80 was identified as the most stable cultivar in Thailand's north eastern region. However, in some areas, where geological factors were varied, HB80 was not the most stable cultivar. Different inputs and outputs with the DEA yielded distinct insights, leading to diverse conclusions. Hence, identifying appropriate input and output measures for each use case is unavoidably important. Journal: Int.

Data was collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews of faculty members and students who had recently completed the capstone project and focus group discussions. The findings reveal issues that could be categorised into: 1) lack of orientation; 2) role ambiguity between the supervisor and the lecturer; 3) misalignment between technical skills, project requirement, and support; 4) students' prior educational background. Formal orientation, clear role allotment for lecturers and supervisors, more projects for each major subject, project-based experiences during courses, and inculcation of soft skills among students were some of the suggestions identified through data. The implications for various stakeholders and the limitations of the study have been discussed. Journal: Int.

However, online mode offers big opportunity to reach out to students in remote locations though it has its own challenges too. This paper identifies a few such challenges and suggests mitigation strategies towards the same. In addition, an in-depth analysis is performed on a real COVID-19 student dataset to understand student overall behaviour in this pandemic situation as well as their experience in the online learning mode. Also, an automated framework of performing student feedback analysis is presented, which can be utilised to understand the quality of online classes by finding more useful insights from student responses. These measures will definitely support a vulnerable student population to overcome the uncertainties present in the period of extraordinary disruption. Journal: Int.

The closure of the offline classes has also impacted the learners' writing abilities. This quasi-experimental study aims to improve students' writing skills in the online classroom by boosting metacognitive practices. During online writing practice, learners were given instructions to use and gather information using metacognitive strategies. This study's respondents were 80 EFL students from PSAU's intermediate level. The data was acquired using a metacognitive survey and a writing task test. The Cambridge University rubrics were used to score the writing test. The metacognitive strategies employed by the teacher-researcher in writing paragraphs assigned during the writing instruction aided students' consciousness in developing their writing process. The results showed an increase in the participant's writing skills inconsistency and cohesion. It suggests that metacognitive strategies are essential in strengthening learners' critical thinking capacity and encouraging them to organise, develop, and plan writing into a meaningful narrative.

It examines the effect of student, teaching, and learning factors on graduates' entrepreneurship intentions in one integrated model. A quantitative approach using survey methodology was conducted in the emerging market of Jordan. In addition, structural equation modelling with 614 responses was carried out to assess the relationships hypothesised in this research. The findings indicate strong evidence for optimising entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, effectively motivating students to study entrepreneurship using modern teaching capabilities reduces risk-aversion attitude towards entrepreneurial activities and positively increases entrepreneurial intentions towards starting up a business. This research extends the existing literature by incorporating other perspectives beyond student factors, including teaching and learning environment factors, to conclude the significant factors that facilitate entrepreneurship education. Likewise, the paper examined the effect of entrepreneurial education in emerging markets, which remains under-researched. Journal: Int.

For the theoretical part of the article systematic literature review, it was done by starting with 15,826 initial results, systematically reduced to 15 sources included in the theoretical part. The article discusses the role of volunteering in the inclusion of migrant students in schools and pay special attention on the results (reasons/need to volunteer) within the RoMigSc project. While the results show that volunteers expect personal benefit (e.g., career advancement), most of them are also internally (e.g., concerned for the disadvantaged ones) and externally (e.g., people close to them also volunteer) motivated. Future research and special practice shall consider recruiting internally motivated volunteers to work with migrant students. Although personal benefits can also increase volunteering, internal motivation is one of the leading factors. Journal: Int.

Intrinsic motivation is considered to be a mediating variable between these two constructs. Structural equation modelling was used to evaluate the relations in the research model. The hypotheses proposed in our research model were tested on a sample of 244 bank managers from all Brazilian regions. Results show that, from the three-dimensional model of cognitive styles, knowing cognitive style has a positive effect on both cognitive and behavioural learning strategies, whereas planning and creating cognitive styles have positive effects on behavioural learning strategies but they have non-significant effects on informal cognitive learning strategies. Intrinsic motivation mediates the relation between cognitive styles and informal learning strategies. Journal: Int.

As the world becomes increasingly global and the development of new technologies is accelerating, the ability to innovate effectively may be even more important in the future. However, innovation management can be difficult and many managers feel frustrated that there is no clear method for doing it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the current state of innovation management of some enterprises in Vietnam and identify the main factors that affect innovation management in Vietnam's businesses. The reality of innovation management was analysed by a survey on innovation management of businesses in Vietnam based on dimensions specified in the innovation management standard ISO 560002. The survey result shows that many of the innovation elements in ISO 56002 are found in the practices of leading enterprises in Vietnam and that in Vietnam, larger-sized firms tend to struggle to apply the requirements of ISO 56002.

The effectiveness of tablet PC-based instruction on student learning outcomes remains unclear. This quasi-experimental study examines the effects of tablet PC-based instruction on students' self-regulated learning and learning achievement in Chinese language courses. Participants were 198 students from four junior high school classes in Northwest China. Two classes (n = 101) were set as the experimental group by employing a tablet PC-based instructional approach, while the other two classes (n = 97) were the control group, using a traditional approach without tablet PCs. The results showed students receiving tablet PC-based instruction had significantly higher learning achievement and self-regulated learning abilities than those receiving a traditional lecture-based approach without tablet PCs. In addition, this study found no significant differences in learning achievement among students with different learning styles. These results indicate that tablet PC-based instruction offers significant benefits for junior high school students. Journal: Int.

Data was gathered on alternative products, life span, market size, entry barriers, potential long-run growth rate, trend and taste of potential customers, and total market potential. The study analysed the research outputs of more than 100 products using three techniques: technology readiness levels, General Electric/McKinsey matrix, and consulting, and developed a strategy for bringing individual research-based products to the marketplace. The paper argues that the success of the research commercialisation process relies on the development of appropriate assessment criteria, strategies, business attractiveness, competitive strength of research, and researchers' willingness to commercialise. The business school's role is to formulate strategies appropriate for the circumstances. Thus, business school intervention can create mutual trust between stakeholders and contribute significantly to a thriving research commercialisation process, substantially lessening the likelihood of failure.

The research is based on the BIST-100 Index that consists of the 100 largest and most traded stocks from various sectors in Turkey. Data were collected from annual reports and company disclosures covering the 12-year period of 2010-2021. Using STATA software, we used a dynamic panel regression to test the effect of women on boards via two different company performance indicators as return of assets (ROA) and return of equity (ROE). The results have indicated that there is not any significant relationship between board gender diversity and measured firm performance indicators. Also, the significant role of board diversity on the firm performance in terms of education and learning is examined. As a conclusion, possible theoretical and implicational explanations are provided. Journal: Int.

These skills have been recognised by educators as essential elements in training successful professionals. However, a preliminary review of school curricula concluded that the 4C model is poorly applied, and the main focus is still on subject knowledge. For this reason, this study aims to develop and describe teaching strategies that could integrate the 4C model into a language learning process. As the main teaching method, cooperative learning was shown in teamwork, games, and case studies were selected for critical analysis. Hence, a fully visible gain in the 4C model development allows concluding that the resulting learning strategies were highly effective as didactic instrumentation. Practical implications are the didactic scenarios that could be used in foreign language teaching with the objective of both subject knowledge and universal competencies included in the 4C model.

Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the relationship between design complexity of an e-learning system, task complexity, and users' cognitive load. Here we conducted a novel investigation to observe effects of design complexity and task complexity towards users' cognitive load. Each group of participants was exposed to different interfaces of e-learning: low, medium, and high design complexity. Participants were asked to perform both simple and complex tasks. We used four instruments: eye tracking, cognitive load questionnaire, system usability scale (SUS), and user experience questionnaire (UEQ). Experimental results show that task complexity and design complexity significantly affect the eye tracking metrics (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and scores of cognitive load questionnaire (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Based on experimental results, we recommend an e-learning system with medium complexity to achieve minimum cognitive burden in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Journal: Int.

The study uses a 40-Likert-seven-point-item questionnaire and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to analyse 312 alumni's perceptions on the academic program. The current academic program fulfils 45.19% of alumni soft skill, work communication, and work skill needs. The six scales derived from the 12 CDIO standards that influence alumni attitudes are, from strongest to weakest: 1) teaching and learning methods; 2) design-build experiences; 3) integrated curriculum expected; 4) learning outcomes; 5) assessment and evaluation; 6) faculty teaching skills. The EFA results show a good correlation between the six components, with R values of 0.922 and R<SUP align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUP> of 0.851. 85.10% of the six criteria explain the stakeholders' requirements. Sig. value 0.0005, from F (6, 305) = 289.788, shows that the regression model predicts alumni perspectives. The results provide clear evidence to the academic program designers of the four universities in the study when revising the academic program to approach the CDIO philosophy. Journal: Int.

This study explored the influence of integrating academic clusters and corpus tools into two courses among ten graduate students and 35 seniors in Taiwan. The analysis of the online posts, interviews, reflections and questionnaire concluded that rich exposure to academic clusters and corpus tools could foster graduate students' and undergraduates' knowledge and use of academic clusters in their academic writing. Integrations of academic clusters and corpus tools were suggested to be included into academic writing courses in order to foster EFL writers' knowledge of and attitude toward academic clusters and corpus tools.

The purpose of the study therefore was to establish whether there were differences in the academic performance of students taught using DI and those taught using traditional methods at a selected open university in Zimbabwe. The results showed significant differences in the academic performance of students taught using DI and those taught using traditional methods, with those students taught using DI performing much better academically. The results further showed that there was no significant academic performance differences between male and female students taught using DI. These results have implications on theory and practice with regards to the teaching of academically diverse mathematics students in universities. Journal: Int.

The study included 171 US university students who studied Spanish, German, Italian, or Japanese as a second language. The Dörnyei motivating model was used to create an online questionnaire, and the Chaid Tree predictive model outlined the most important variables that influence the Motivation to continue studying a second language. The findings show that the variables 'projection of intended effort' and 'ideal self' is both positively and significantly connected to students' academic achievement and their intent to enrol in future foreign language programs. The deontic self, or ought-to-self, on the other hand, had no significant correlation with any of the other factors studied. There were no significant differences in gender in the cross-sectional analysis of age and gender, but there was a negative and significant link between age and academic achievement, as well as a positive and significant association between age and predicted effort.

A total of 201 undergraduate students from a Turkish state university participated in the study. Results indicated that the male university students experience higher levels of boredom than their counterparts. In addition, the female participants exhibited stronger inclination towards using both cognitive approach and cognitive avoidance than the males to strategically cope with boredom. Besides, the participants with different academic levels did not score differently in their level of boredom and they indicated a significant difference only in their behavioural avoidance in coping with boredom. Indeed, as the academic level of the participants increases, they exhibit a greater tendency to use behavioural avoidance to relieve boredom. Journal: Int.

It uses data from 157 undergraduate and graduate students over two semesters collected via a survey and focus group discussion. It provides a novel contribution to the under-researched area of formative feedback in business education. Results were generally positive, with over 75% of the students agreeing that formative feedback is useful. They reported positive results across the survey questions relating to ease of and keenness to the feedback activity, their enjoyment in participating, improvement in their understanding, the usefulness of the feedback, and whether they would recommend such activity in other subjects. Results from the focus groups also reiterate these positive perceptions, where students highly regarded the immediacy and usability of the feedback in their learning and the engaging and non-threatening nature of the activity. Implications include practical uses and applicability to other disciplines. Journal: Int.

To achieve the research objectives, the data was collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis used a modified analytical analysis method. Furthermore, the measurement of data validity is based on the level of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The results of the study explained that the principals' approach in academic supervision activities based on the values of humanistic spirituality is very effective because it is in accordance with the emphasis of the independent curriculum which emphasises the importance of emphasising the values of humanistic spirituality in the school environment. In addition, it has an effect on increasing the teaching competence of teachers and also has an impact on increasing students' achievement and motivation in Catholic and Christian private junior high schools in Indonesia.

However, few research and analyses have focused on the influence of digital teaching materials of environmental education on students. To help students understand the ecology of villages, this study designed e-book teaching materials for environmental education. The subjects were 84 students from the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Business and Management at a university. Independent sample t-testing was conducted to verify the impact of the subjects' attitude toward the usage of digital teaching materials. The results confirm that both the students' reactions and the structure of the teaching materials have significant differences in their cognition of the ecology of villages. Students' ecological cognition can be developed or changed through e-book teaching materials for ecological environmental education; therefore, illustrated e-book teaching materials are effective in improving students' cognition of the ecology of villages.
