Augmented reality (AR) demonstrates great promise in science education. However, students’ conceptions of learning when they learn using AR are currently unclear. This study aimed to analyze learners’ views and scientific epistemic beliefs on science. Eighty-two elementary school students grades 4–6 participated a two-week course the introduction sound. The intervention adopted inquiry-based ut...

This study aimed at investigating the effects of grammatical error correction on EFL learners’ accuracy. Twenty-two male and female senior students were chosen randomly to respond to a questionnaire investigating their beliefs about immediate grammatical error correction.  Actually, the study was conducted in order to answer this question: what is the effect of grammatical error feedback on stu...

This descriptive study looked into Persian learners’ autonomy and its ties with in-class group dynamics. The participants were undergraduate learners and M.A. students together with their teachers.

This article explores the construction and development of two non-native English speaking student teachers’ beliefs throughout a one-year teaching English to speakers of other languages programme in a university in the United Kingdom. The research used a qualitative case methodology to illuminate individuals’ understanding and perceptions. The study employed three data collection instruments: s...

In this study we investigate the effect of modeling type and reflection on the acquisition of dart-throwing skills, selfefficacy beliefs and self-reaction scores by replicating a study by Kitsantas, Zimmerman, and Cleary (2000). Participants observing a coping model were expected to surpass participants observing a mastery model who in turn were expected to outperform participants who learned w...

This study intended to explore the interplay between young language learners' sense of self-efficacy regarding reading comprehension in their reading test performance associated with learning English among universities. To undertake the study, a purposive sampling method was adopted. A total of 60 freshmen undergraduate learners of English consented to participate in this study.  A self-efficac...

Programming is a craft which often demands that learners engage in a significantly high level of individual practice and experimentation in order to acquire basic competencies. However, practice behaviours can be undermined during the early stages of instruction. This is often the result of seemingly trivial misconceptions that, when left unchecked, create cognitive-affective barriers. These in...

How does actively seeking explanations for one’s observations affect information search over the course of learning? Generating explanations could plausibly lead learners to take advantage of the information they have already obtained, resulting in less exploration. Alternatively, explaining could lead learners to explore more, especially after encountering evidence that suggests their current ...
