Bridging the digital divide: Development and validation of a digital literacy scale for older adults in China
Digital literacy is crucial not only for expanding economic opportunities but also for enhancing the quality of life, as it enables individuals to effectively access and use valuable information. However, there is a notable lack of validated tools specifically designed to assess the digital literacy of older adults. This study aimed to fill this gap by developing and validating a measurement tool to evaluate digital literacy levels among older ad…
Assessing Chinese middle school students’ computational thinking: An evidence-centered design approach
Examining students' acceptance of the large‐scale HyFlex course: An empirical study
The HyFlex course has been widely adopted in higher education settings. However, there is a paucity of empirical studies examining students' acceptance of large‐scale HyFlex courses, as well as factors influencing their acceptance. To fill this research gap, the present study investigated students' acceptance of a large‐scale HyFlex course and the variations in their acceptance according to different participation modes (ie, on‐site, synchronousl…
Navigating ICT-Related Factors and Life Satisfaction in Older Adults: A Social Cognitive Theory Approach
As the world’s aging population continues to grow, leveraging technology to support healthy aging presents significant advantageous. Numerous studies have investigated the impact of ICT-related factors on the life satisfaction of older adults. However, existing research often approached these factors from a single perspective, overlooking potential threshold effects. This study addresses this gap by exploring the multifaceted determinants of ICT-…
Examining Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Disposition Profiles and Life Satisfaction Among Older Adults: A Latent Profile Analysis
This study examines how distinct Information and Communication Technology (ICT) engagement profiles impact life satisfaction among older adults, aiming to inform digital inclusion policies for aging populations. Cross-sectional data from 717 older adults in Central China were analyzed using latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify distinct ICT engagement profiles, followed by multinomial logistic regression to examine predictors of profile membe…
Primary students’ online homework completion and learning achievement
Online homework has become an important teaching and learning activity due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions. This study explored the relationship between primary students’ online homework completion and learning achievement. It also investigated the moderating effects of key factors including the role of the students and the involvement of their parents on this relationship. Based on a total of 3,210 Chinese online homework…
The influence of organizational factors on the acceptance of online teaching among college faculty during the Covid-19 pandemic: A nationwide study in mainland China
Examining the effects of note-taking styles on college students’ learning achievement and cognitive load
This study investigated the effects of note-taking styles on college students’ learning achievement and cognitive load in a 6-week lecture-based computer network course. Forty-two students were randomly assigned into one of three groups, which consisted of collaborative note-taking, laptop note-taking, and traditional longhand note-taking. The results showed that students in the collaborative note-taking group did better on learning achievement a…
Smart classroom preferences and information literacy among college students
In recent years, smart classrooms have been widely constructed in colleges and universities. To help the design of student-centred smart classroom in compliance with students’ information literacy levels and enable all students to adapt to the smart classroom smoothly, this study utilised a quantitative method to investigate the information literacy and preferences for smart classroom learning environments (PSCLE) of 873 Chinese college students.…
Social Network Analysis of Covid-19 Sentiments: 10 Metropolitan Cities in Italy
The pandemic spread rapidly across Italy, putting the region's health system on the brink of collapse, and generating concern regarding the government's capacity to respond to the needs of patients considering isolation measures. This study developed a sentiment analysis using millions of Twitter data during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 10 metropolitan cities in Italy's (1) north: Milan, Venice, Turin, Bologna; (2) central: Florence…
Exploring the Factors That Influence College Students' Academic Self-Efficacy in Blended Learning: A Study From the Personal, Interpersonal, and Environmental Perspectives
Academic self-efficacy is identified as one of the strongest predictors of students' academic performance. However, few studies have explored the factors that influence students' academic self-efficacy in a blended learning environment. By developing a comprehensive model, this study investigates the main factors that influence students' academic self-efficacy in blended learning from the personal, interpersonal, and environmental perspectives. T…
Examining the key influencing factors on college students’ higher-order thinking skills in the smart classroom environment
To understand the development of students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in the smart classroom environment, a structural equation modeling analysis was used to examine the relationships between key factors that influence students’ learning and their HOTS within a smart classroom environment. A sample of 217 first-year Chinese college students, who studied in a smart classroom environment for one semester, completed a survey that measures t…
Effects of Interactive Whiteboard-based Instruction on Students’ Cognitive Learning Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis
The infusion and diffusion of the interactive whiteboard (IWB) has attracted considerable interest in educational contexts over the past years. However, research to date has been controversial with regard to the effectiveness of IWB-based instruction on cognitive learning outcomes. This study identified empirical publications that examine students’ cognitive learning outcomes and applied a meta-analysis to determine the overall effectiveness of I…
The Geography of Covid-19 Spread in Italy Using Social Media and Geospatial Data Analytics
Since December 2019, Coronavirus has been spreading rapidly across the world. From its early stages, while the rest of the world was still new to COVID-19, Italy was one of the first and most severely hit countries. The chronic nature of the COVID-19 outbreak and untimely treatments were translated into an unstable social and emotional environment. This study explores the societal response to the first wave of the pandemic outbreak in Italy, look…
Parents' profiles concerning ICT proficiency and their relation to adolescents' information literacy: A latent profile analysis approach
Given the pivotal role of parents in their children's educational development, numerous studies have examined the impacts of parents' information and communications technology (ICT) proficiency on adolescents' information literacy. However, previous research has tended to treat parents as a holistic unit, ignoring the individual uniqueness of each parent in analyses. Thus, the first aim of this study was to explore the parent profiles in terms of…
Developing the rotational synchronous teaching (RST) model: Examination of the connected classroom climate
The multiple synchronous smart classroom learning environment (MSSC) is an alternative educational context that describes several active learning classrooms, connected through synchronous broadcasting technology. MSSC provides conceptually new capabilities to maximise both student learning and instructor efficiency. However, MSSC lacks an empirically validated instructional model, which limits effectiveness, particularly in relation to student in…
