Previous studies have indicated that students' media multitasking behaviours in class harm their academic performances, and understanding the reasons for college students' engagement in such behaviour is meaningful. However, the literature takes media multitasking behaviour as an audience behaviour, which ignores the interaction between students and their surroundings. This study fills this gap by emphasizing the role of the social learning process. A survey was conducted in a public and comprehensive university in western China, and a total of 457 valid respondents were obtained. The results from PLS-SEM revealed that college students' in-class media multitasking behaviours were influenced by both observational learning (ie, imitating others) and reinforcement learning (ie, in-class interventions), and this learning process was shaped by students' media multitasking self-efficacy and self-management of learning. These findings contribute to the current literature by providing a relatively new perspective for understanding college students' in-class media multitasking behaviours, and suggestions about how to deal with such behaviours are also provided.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner notes</h3>\u0000 <p>What is already known about this topic\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>In-class media multitasking behaviours (ICMMBs) damage college students' academic performance.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>College students' ICMMBs are affected by individual factors, such as internet addiction and sensation seeking.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Social learning theory is widely adopted as a general theoretical background to explain those behaviours of which possible consequences are easily observed no matter from others or from individuals themselves.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 <p>What this paper adds\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>This work enriches the media multitasking literature by investigating the predictors of ICMMBs from a relatively new perspective, that is, the social learning perspective.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>This work also contributes to the literature on media multitasking by examining how the social learning process of college students' ICMMBs differs across students.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>This work extends the application scope of social learning theory to the context of college students' ICMMBs.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 <p>Implications ","PeriodicalId":48315,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Technology","volume":"55 3","pages":"1105-1125"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are few validated research instruments for educators to examine how secondary students develop and perceive their learning outcomes. After reviewing the literature on AI literacy questionnaires, we categorized the identified competencies in four dimensions: (1) affective learning (intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy/confidence), (2) behavioural learning (behavioural commitment and collaboration), (3) cognitive learning (know and understand; apply, evaluate and create) and (4) ethical learning. Then, a 32-item self-reported questionnaire on AI literacy (AILQ) was developed and validated to measure students' literacy development in the four dimensions. The design and validation of AILQ were examined through theoretical review, expert judgement, interview, pilot study and first- and second-order confirmatory factor analysis. This article reports the findings of a pilot study using a preliminary version of the AILQ among 363 secondary school students in Hong Kong to analyse the psychometric properties of the instrument. Results indicated a four-factor structure of the AILQ and revealed good reliability and validity. The AILQ is recommended as a reliable measurement scale for assessing how secondary students foster their AI literacy and inform better instructional design based on the proposed affective, behavioural, cognitive and ethical (ABCE) learning framework.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner notes</h3>\u0000 <p>What is already known about this topic\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>AI literacy has drawn increasing attention in recent years and has been identified as an important digital literacy.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Schools and universities around the world started to incorporate AI into their curriculum to foster young learners' AI literacy.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Some studies have worked to design suitable measurement tools, especially questionnaires, to examine students' learning outcomes in AI learning programmes.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 <p>What this paper adds\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Develops an AI literacy questionnaire (AILQ) to evaluate students' literacy development in terms of affective, behavioural, cognitive and ethical (ABCE) dimensions.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Proposes a parsimonious model based on the ABCE framework and addresses a skill set","PeriodicalId":48315,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Technology","volume":"55 3","pages":"1082-1104"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjet.13411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139004278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined female high school students' cognitive engagement and disengagement in an online learning context during the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of self-determination theory's basic psychological needs. We investigated an extended dual-process motivation mediation model that emphasizes the mediating role of the need for competence, including an additional factor, technology self-efficacy, in a South Korean high school context (<i>n</i> = 235). Results from structural equation modelling provided evidence for the proposed model. Our findings indicated that the exogenous variables (ie, perceived autonomy support, perceived teacher control and technology self-efficacy) predicted cognitive engagement and disengagement with the mediating role of competence need satisfaction and competence need frustration. We found distinct processes including (a) “autonomy support-competence need satisfaction-cognitive engagement”, (b) “teacher control-competence need frustration-cognitive disengagement”, (c) “technology self-efficacy-competence need satisfaction-cognitive engagement” and (d) “technology self-efficacy-competence need frustration (negative effect)-cognitive disengagement”. This study suggests using autonomy support strategies to fulfil students' competence needs in online learning contexts.

Most implementations employ a quantitative approach, and two variables are used for evaluation. Feedback types play a vital role in achieving positive results in learning performance and student perceptions. The main limitations and gaps are the time range for literature selection, the level of integration of the empathic field and the lack of a detailed development stage report.

The effects of scaffolds can differ depending on how learners use them and how specific scaffolds might influence learning processes differently. Personalized scaffolds have been proposed to be more beneficial for learning due to their adaptivity to learning progress and individualized content to learning needs. The present study investigated finer-grained effects of how personalized scaffolds driven by a rule-based artificial intelligence system influenced SRL processes, especially how students learned with them. Using a pre-post experimental design, we investigated personalized scaffolds based on university students' real-time learning processes in a technologically enhanced learning environment. Students in the experimental group (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 30) received personalized scaffolds, while the control group (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 29) learned without scaffolds. All students completed a 45-minute learning task with trace data recorded. Findings indicated scaffold effects on students' subsequent learning behaviour. Additionally, only scaffold interaction correlated to essay performance and suggests that the increase in frequencies of SRL activities alone does not contribute directly to learning outcomes.

Over a 3-month period, an experimental class of secondary school students took a visual arts course using a knowledge-building design augmented by VLA, while a comparison class took the same course within a regular knowledge-building environment. The VLA approach implemented in the experimental class emphasized collective reflections using assessment tools to visualize the students' online and classroom discussions. The analysis of the students' questionnaire responses and Knowledge Forum discourse showed that the VLA approach helped the students develop a deeper epistemic understanding of discourse for productive inquiry and greater domain knowledge. In addition, the students' epistemic understanding was associated with their performance in productive Knowledge Forum inquiry. Qualitative analysis of the classroom and group discussions, interview responses and learning artefacts showed that the VLA design helped them understand the nature of discourse deeply by encouraging them to notice community orientations, increase their awareness of productive discourse moves and advance idea development. The implications of the VLA design in improving epistemic understanding of discourse are discussed.

These also offer opportunities for performance assessments by providing an environment for students to carry out tasks requiring the application of knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. Although widely used for teaching and learning, there are challenges in using digital game applications for assessment. Designing assessments around tasks in complex learning environments like DGs is not always easy, particularly for educators new to using these technologies for teaching. This paper presents a game-based assessment framework (GBAF) that is designed to be educator-friendly and useful for the design of assessments for immersive learning environments. The application of the framework to the design of embedded and external (multiple-choice questions) assessments is also presented. The GBAF offered an easy and structured basis for the design of two distinct assessments for a computer game. It provides educators with useful guidelines for designing assessments around pre-existing games.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;div&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;div&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt;Practitioner notes&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;What is already known about this topic&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;Immersive technologies are increasingly being used for teaching and learning due to their benefits to knowledge and skills acquisition. However, for educators interested in using these tools for formal classroom teaching, there is a lack of resources and guidance on assessment designs and implementations. The most commonly used assessment design framework, the evidence-centred design (ECD), is complicated to use, requiring advanced machine learning skills to implement. This has so far limited its use to large-scale computerised and game-based testing.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;What this paper adds&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;This paper presents a framework developed to guide educators through the design and implementation of assessments when teaching with immersive learning applications. Grounded in the constructive alignment principles and the ECD framework, the game-based assessment framework is designed to help educators align assessment tasks to game tasks and the intended learning outcomes. It also provides step-by-step guidelines for the identification of appropriate immersive applications. It shows the practical application of the framework to the design of embedded (in-game) assessments and external (multiple-choice tests) assessments.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;Implications for practice and/or policy&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;The framework presented in this paper provides a structured and pedagogically sound basis for th","PeriodicalId":48315,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Technology","volume":"55 3","pages":"957-991"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjet.13407","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138519648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulation was developed using the Unity 3D engine. VR controllers were developed to reflect a real power tool in three fidelity levels: high (most realistic: weight and tactile engagement), mid (tactile engagement without weight) and low (control group: only controller). The tasks were designed to reflect complexities with four working postures: no walking &amp; standing up, no walking &amp; bending over, walking &amp; standing up and walking &amp; bending over. Thirty-six healthy undergraduate male students participated in the study. Participants were instructed to complete motor tasks accurately. Audio feedback (drill sound) and haptic feedback (vibration) were activated for three groups when the controller and a screw made contact. Each participant used all three fidelity controllers and repeated the four tasks in a counterbalanced order to account for order effects. The results of a one-way repeated measures MANOVA indicated that two dimensions of task load were significantly different among the three physical fidelity conditions. Also, task completion time, inaccurate operation time and inaccurate counts were significantly shorter when four tasks were repeated. The study findings provide design implications for VR-based training experiences for future workforce development.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;div&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;div&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt;Practitioner notes&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 &lt;p&gt;What is already known about this topic\u0000\u0000 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;VR training simulations offer immersive opportunities for skills development, creating interactive and visually appealing learning environments.&lt;/li&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;VR training simulations employ VR controllers as interactive interfaces to enhance task performance in virtual environments.&lt;/li&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;li&gt;Consideration of physical fidelity is crucial to improve simulation realism and support realistic sensory input for user interaction and tool manipulation.
