The effects of GAI-enhanced pedagogical agents in the metaverse (GPAiM) on elementary school students’ conceptual understanding and cognitive engagement patterns
Designing and Evaluating the Pedagogy of an Online Review Genre Writing Course for PhD Candidates
This study aims to design and evaluate an online academic writing course for PhD candidates who use English as a Foreign Language (EFL), with a specific focus on review genre writing. Although genre‐based approaches have been widely applied in academic writing instruction, relatively limited research has examined the systematic design of review genre writing courses for EFL doctoral students, particularly in Asian higher education contexts. This …
Integrating AI-Driven Wearable Metaverse Technologies into Ubiquitous Blended Learning
Ubiquitous blended learning, leveraging mobile devices, has democratized education by enabling autonomous and readily accessible knowledge acquisition. However, its reliance on traditional interfaces often limits learner immersion and meaningful interaction. The emergence of the wearable metaverse offers a compelling solution, promising enhanced multisensory experiences and adaptable learning environments that transcend the constraints of convent…
The AI Motivation Scale (Aims)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a profound impact on university teaching and learning. However, there is a lack of instruments for measuring university students’ motivation to use AI in their learning. In this study, we developed and validated a questionnaire to measure students’ motivation to learn with AI. In Study 1, we developed the AI Motivation Scale (AIMS). Rooted in self-determination theory, the scale measures university students’ motiv…
Towards sustainable digital learning environments
The shift towards digital learning has raised concerns about the sustainability of education, particularly the visual health issues, such as computer vision syndrome (CVS), caused by prolonged screen learning among adolescent learners. Traditional visual health protection measures are invasive and can interfere with learners’ normal learning experience, highlighting the need for non-invasive and visual-friendly protection methods that can be inte…
Enhancing the flipped classroom model with generative AI and Metaverse technologies
Unpacking Beliefs and Engagement in AI ‐Assisted Chinese Learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly impacted education, yet its influence on Chinese language education remains underexplored. This study investigates the distinct latent profiles of Chinese as a foreign language learners in Malaysia regarding their beliefs and engagement in AI‐assisted Chinese learning. Using latent profile analysis, three profiles were identified: Enthusiastic but Limited Belief, Moderate Belief and Engagement, and Stro…
Design and validation of a conceptual model for children's continuance intention to use video apps
Video apps are widely used by children worldwide. However, concerns have been raised about children's personal data disclosure and privacy risks during their consumption of video apps. This study designed and validated a conceptual model for children's continuance intention to use video apps based on privacy calculus theory and Teen Online Safety Strategies (TOSS) parental mediation framework. A cross‐sectional survey of 321 Chinese middle school…
Longitudinal analysis of teacher self-efficacy evolution during a STEAM professional development program
Despite the widespread advocacy for the integration of arts and humanities (A&H) into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education on an international scale, teachers face numerous obstacles in practically integrating A&H into STEM teaching (IAT). To tackle the challenges, a comprehensive five-stage framework for teacher professional development programs focussed on IAT has been developed. Through the use of a qualitative ca…
A systematic review of Stimulated Recall (SR) in educational research from 2012 to 2022
Stimulated Recall (SR) has long been used in educational settings as an approach of retrospection. However, with the fast growing of digital learning and advanced technologies in educational settings over the past decade, the extent to which stimulated recall has been effectively implemented by researchers remains minimal. This systematic review reveals that SR has been primarily employed to probe the patterns of participants’ thinking, to examin…
Reluctance to Authenticity-Imbued Social Robots as Child-Interaction Partners
We are facing the rapid development of educational technology and social robots tested in classrooms. Research has identified teachers’ caution and concerns about these robots’ social skills. Pre-service education is critical for forming beliefs and preparing teachers for the future classroom and innovations in educational technology. In the present study, exploratory factor analysis is applied to examine pre-service teachers’ concerns about soci…

Triple Method Approach to Development of a Genre-Based Approach to Teaching ESL/EFL Writing
In the last 19 years (2003–2021), research on genre-based approaches (GBAs) to writing pedagogy has been accumulating in the fields of English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL). This review mapped existing literature to identify research trends and provide a research agenda for future GBAs. This study employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and identified 52 publi…

However, very few studies have focused on review genres. In this review, the researchers would like to offer an overview of different types of review articles and identify the trend in the development of the review article gen…
International Chinese Postgraduate Students' Adaptation Strategies for Oral English Communication Practices in Malaysian Higher Education Institutions
Since establishing the Silk Road initiatives, increasing numbers of Chinese students are going to Malaysia to pursue their postgraduate degrees. As the largest group of international students, numerous research studies have reported that Chinese international postgraduate students face language obstacles in English language communication during their overseas studies in English-medium instruction (EMI) campuses. This qualitative case study suppli…

Effect of Gig Workers’ Psychological Contract Fulfillment on Their Task Performance in a Sharing Economy—A Perspective from the Mediation of Organizational Identification and the Moderation of Length …
Workers' isolation may occur in gig employment in the sharing economy, which generates a weak perception of the organization and unpredictable work performance. Drawing on social exchange theory, this paper proposes a framework to explore the effect of psychological contract fulfillment on gig workers' task performance from the perspective of the mediation of organizational identification and the moderation of the length of service. A total of 22…
Tit for Tat
The extant literature has focused on individuals' knowledge-sharing behavior and its driving factors, which stimulate the knowledge transmission and exchange in organizations. However, little research has focused on factors that inhibit knowledge sharing and encourage individuals to hide their knowledge. Therefore, based on social exchange and displaced aggression theories, the study proposed and checked a model that examined the effect of abusiv…
