To understand this paradox, this study explores the perceptions of seven secondary school science teachers in a rural district in South Africa. Through a qualitative case-study methodology guided by the interpretive paradigm, this research adopts a phenomenological approach to gain insights into teachers' attitudes, understandings, and the factors influencing their acceptance or rejection of this technology. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology is employed as a theoretical framework. The study finds that despite potential educational benefits, the actual use of VLs is largely influenced by teacher perceptions and experiences, rooted in context-specific challenges. The findings reveal that teachers perceive VL as a beneficial and practical tool providing access to high-quality lab equipment necessary for student experiments, which could otherwise be cost-prohibitive.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"9 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141808668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study includes a mixed-methods approach, combining a survey questionnaire (n= 87) and semi-structured interviews (n= 3). Results indicate that female students generally perceive SLPs as beneficial, despite implementation challenges. Preference for male instructors and family teaching preferences vary among participants. Computer experience was found to influence perceived advantages of SLPs. Qualitative analysis provides deeper insights, including educational, cultural, and economic aspects. The study offers recommendations for future research and implications for enhancing the learning experiences of female students in conservative higher education systems.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"233 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135828430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extensive research has examined various aspects of MALL; there remains a gap in understanding the preferred mobile resources that promote lifelong learning ability, particularly in relation to gender differences. This study focuses on Chinese EFL learners' preferences for mobile resources in promoting lifelong learning. Employing a quantitative questionnaire, the researchers examine the relationship between mobile learning efficacy and lifelong learning ability. The findings indicate no significant differences in mobile resource preferences among male and female students. However, a moderately positive relationship between mobile learning efficacy and lifelong learning ability was discovered. Notably, this study identifies that Chinese EFL students preferred mobile resources that may act as a platform to enhance mobile learning efficacy and support lifelong learning.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135385143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilized an applied research methodology based on a validation approach using the technological acceptance method. The findings reveal educational institutions' lack of knowledge in identifying and appropriating technological resources. The research concludes that recognizing technology and technological resources can lead to the improvement of educational processes. It also provides a framework for researchers to present proposals that allow them to recognize technology's mediating role in the teaching-learning process.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135982309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The personal learning environment-based spoken English platform was implemented in the experimental class, while the control class used traditional face-to-face instruction. Pre- and post-spoken English tests and semistructured interviews were used in the study. The data analysis revealed that PLEs has the potential to boost students' learning motivation and enthusiasm and improve their spoken English narrative performance as well.

The global pandemic in 2019 accelerated the shift to a digital environment for organisations worldwide. With a shift to online learning, there has been a sudden spike in enrolments for massive open online courses. The present study addresses this gap in the literature by analysing the impact of MOOC courses on the achievement of program outcomes of a formal education program. The authors attempt to understand if digital learning outcomes vary among diverse learner groups, if the adaption of MOOC courses enhances the achievement of program outcomes among diverse learner groups. The data for this study were collected using purposive sampling from students pursuing a management course at a B-school in India. The results of the study indicate that diversity has no impact on the achievement of program outcomes.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46462199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, another trend spotted over the past two decades is reduction in the age group of senior and top executives. As the managers reach the top slots at young ages, it is imperative that their coaching needs must be re-assessed on the backdrop of the traditional needs of their relatively elder counterparts. Hence, the study was undertaken to understand the coaching needs expectations of young executives below 40 years of age. This paper presents the findings based on these young executives' responses on the related parameters (e.g., firm and faster decision making, acquisition of new knowledge, certifications, refining the presentation skills, better time management, strict financial controls and planning, technological updates, wider reading, better communication, listening skills, empathy, and career opportunities). The paper concludes with a few pointers for coaching for young executives and paves the way for further research in this area.","PeriodicalId":53545,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments","volume":"77 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81516985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
