Bridging Perspectives: A Comparative Study of Sino-American Science Education Policies Through Intertextuality
Drawing on the theoretical lens of intertextuality and employing the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model, this study systematically examines the similarities and differences between Chinese and American science education policies across three comparative dimensions: (1) structural differences in policy design; (2) similarities and divergences in thematic emphasis; and (3) evolutionary trends in policy agendas. The selection of policy te…
Enhancing the flipped classroom model with generative AI and Metaverse technologies: Insights from lag sequential and epistemic network analysis
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…
Investigating the design, participation and experience of teaching and learning facilitated by user-generated microgames on an open educational platform
Although user-generated microgames, defined as very simple games made by non-professionals on open platforms, are popular and appear to have considerable advantages in facilitating learning, further exploration is needed to establish their potential in instructional practices. The present study investigates the design, participation and experience of teaching and learning facilitated by user-generated microgames on an open educational platform. T…
Critical thinking conceptualization in K-12: A case study of middle school teachers
Research shows that teachers' conceptualization of critical thinking (CT) affects their classroom practices for incorporating CT instructional methods for young school children. However, there is limited evidence with respect to K-12 in-service teachers' beliefs about CT. This study investigates the conceptualization of CT among middle school teachers (n = 77) in the United States. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Based on P…

Technology-Enabled E-Learning Platforms in Chinese Higher Education During the Pandemic Age of Covid-19
The problem motivating this study is the fact that almost 19.70 million university students in China have been required to engage in e-learning under the government's initiative of "Classes are Suspended, yet Learning is still Ongoing" during the COVID-19 epidemic, coupled with varied responses, uneven adoption of e-learning platforms and varying degrees of satisfaction toward them. Using the online database adoption and satisfaction (ODAS) model…

A study of Chinese technical and vocational college teachers' adoption and gratification in new technologies
The problem motivating this research is the rapid introduction of educational technologies and the strong push to use new technologies in technical and vocational training in China coupled with varied responses and uneven adoption of new tools on the part of practitioners. This study investigated the factors that influence technical and vocational college teachers' adoption and appreciation of information and communication technology (ICT) in Chi…
Assessment of ICT in Tertiary Education Applying Structural Equation Modeling and Rasch Model
Assessment studies using structural equation modeling and Rasch Model have long been prominent in all areas of educational psychology. Their emphases have covered, but have not been limited to, the improvement of quality in teaching, learning, and research as well as the pursuit of research productivity. However, such methodological approaches have rarely taken place in the arena of information and communication technology (ICT) in tertiary educa…
