In recent times, educational initiatives such as hybrid education have positioned themselves as important approaches to ensure the continuity of education during a period as complicated as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, the objective of this article is to explore the rise and development of hybrid education worldwide in recent years as a viable alternative within higher education institutions, through a systematic review of the literature applying the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) method. From this review, it is observed that hybrid education has experienced significant progress during the COVID-19 pandemic, given the transition to virtuality that was experienced and the rise of new digital technologies that prove useful for this approach. At the same time, the interest shown by both students and teachers in adopting this new approach instead of a purely face-to-face or virtual one has become evident, although there are still several challenges to overcome before it can be properly implemented.

This study addresses the challenge of enhancing civic engagement in higher education institutions by examining the predictive relationships between readiness, motivations, and digital civic engagement of tertiary students. Employing the quantitative, correlational research approach, data collected through survey questionnaires were analyzed using Minitab statistical software. Significant insights came from the 2,205 tertiary students selected through multistage random sampling, following strictly ethical standards to ensure data privacy and anonymity. As found, a moderate level of readiness underscores the need for targeted interventions, particularly to improve the civic behavior of students. Understanding and values motives emerged as dominant drivers of engagement, indicating the strong desire of students for personal growth and learning. While respondents occasionally exhibit digital engagement, it leans toward civic activities over political involvement, focusing primarily on information consumption rather than active collaboration. Emerging as a significant predictor of engagement, developing tailored initiatives to enhance readiness is crucial to positively influencing civic participation. Higher education institutions may use these findings to develop digital interventions that serve as catalysts for long-term civic engagement among students and engage in further research on other predictive factors.

Cuc Thi Doan , Tuan Van Vu , Ai Nhan Nguyen
This study investigated tertiary students’ perceptions regarding constructivist learning in the context of higher education in Vietnam. It aimed to examine the general perceptions of university students towards constructivist learning and the effects of constructivist learning on students’ learning outcomes. It also examined the conditions that make students more likely to embrace or resist these approaches. The study evaluated the engagement of students in problem-solving activities through the use of constructivist learning methods. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative data. Specifically, the study involved a survey of 384 students from Hanoi Law University, using a researcher-made Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews of 20 students from the sample. While descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data, the qualitative data were thematically analyzed for common themes and patterns. The results indicate that although the participants acknowledge the benefits of constructivist methods, particularly in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving, there is still uncertainty about their ability to engage in a self-directed learning approach. The findings suggest that while the constructivist approach has been recognized, practical efforts have not been made in teaching practices, teacher training, and assessment methods to create an interactive, student-centered learning environment in Vietnam.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the practice of lateral dominance as an early evaluation strategy in children from the rural area of Puno, Peru. Early assessment of lateral dominance is crucial for understanding a child’s cognitive and motor development. This study focused on children attending a school for children with learning disabilities in the rural Initial Educational Institution Camacani within the Local Educational Management Unit of Puno, located in the southern region of the Province of Puno, under the jurisdiction of the Platería District. A total of 100 children (50 boys and 50 girls), aged 5 years, were selected for the study. The research was descriptive-quantitative in nature, aimed at evaluating the dominance of four dimensions—hands, feet, ears, and eyes—using the Harris test. The findings revealed that lateral dominance in both boys and girls was characterized by poorly affirmed laterality in 60% of the cases and crossed laterality in 40%. This suggests that at the age of 5 years, the children were still in the developmental stage of lateralization, with no clear dominance of the left or right hemisphere. Based on the results, it was concluded that lateral dominance in these children was not yet fully established. Furthermore, the study emphasized the importance of incorporating psychomotor activities during early childhood development to promote the continuous improvement of laterality, motor skills, and spatial orientation.

10.11591/ijere.v14i6.35367
Liang Mingyu , Mohd Khairuddin Abdullah , Connie Shin
Understanding how young teachers cope with work concerns is crucial for improving teaching quality in Chinese private higher education. This study investigates the relationship between different stages of such concerns and teacher effectiveness of young lecturers in private universities. These lecturers often face workload pressure andlack of career supports, which may influence their effectiveness and professional development. This research involved 416 full-time lecturers under the age of 40 from Shandong Province. The sample was determined using Krejcie and Morgan’s formula and selected through a multi-stage sampling method. Private universities were stratified into four categories, one university from each category was purposively selected, and participants were randomly sampled. Data were gatheredthrough a structured questionnaire adapted from the stages of concern (SoC) and the school teacher effectiveness questionnaire (STEQ). Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted for analysis. The results show that task concerns and impact concerns significantly influenced teacher effectiveness across instructional planning and strategies, assessment, and learning environment. In contrast, self-concerns showed weaker influence. These findings suggest that work concerns reflect not only stress but also deeper professional motivation, pointing to the need for more purposeful supports to increase teacher effectiveness and career growth.

The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT is reshaping educational practices, presenting both transformative opportunities and institutional challenges. This study offers a novel, integrative framework for understanding the adoption of GenAI tools in higher education by combining quantitative and qualitative analyses within a hybrid methodological design. Specifically, it is the first to incorporate the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (Fuzzy DEMATEL), and the extended technology acceptance model (ETAM) in a unified model of adoption, augmented by thematic analysis of user experiences. A stratified random sample of 1,297 participants—comprising 1,191 students and 105 faculty members from various departments—ensured proportional representation across the university. AHP was employed to prioritize key adoption criteria, Fuzzy DEMATEL uncovered the causal interdependencies among constructs, and ETAM validated the direct and indirect effects influencing behavioral intention. Thematic analysis provided contextual depth regarding institutional barriers and individual perceptions. Findings reveal that attitude toward GenAI and intention to use (IU) are the strongest drivers of adoption. Notably, university support (US) emerged as a central enabler, significantly influencing both awareness and perceived usefulness (PU). This study contributes a comprehensive and multi-method framework that educational institutions can use to ethically, effectively, and equitably integrate GenAI technologies into academic ecosystems.

Research competence is essential for the academic and professional development of university students. However, in the context of Lima, Peru, no specific, valid, and reliable instruments have been found to assess this competency comprehensively. This deficiency reveals a significant knowledge gap in the accurate assessment of research competencies in university students. Therefore, in the present research, a scale was constructed and validated to effectively assess research competence in university students. As methodology, the quantitative approach was used, following three processes: item construction, item functionality, and psychometric analysis. A sample of 216 students was used for the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and 206 for the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The final version of the research competency scale for university students comprises 37 items distributed across five dimensions identified through EFA: epistemic knowledge (10 items), interpretation skills (5 items), methodological knowledge (9 items), scientific communication (6 items), and information management (7 items). CFA supported the adequacy of the model (root mean square error of approximation/RMSEA=0.064; comparative fit index/CFI=0.918; Tucker-Lewis Index/TLI=0.911), and the scale demonstrated high internal consistency. The validated scale reliably measures research competence and can improve teaching, assessment, and curriculum design.

Language learning strategies in relation to advanced Chinese vocabulary and writing proficiency

10.11591/ijere.v14i6.31857
Xinqin Liu , Mohammed Y.M. Mai
The study investigated the relationship between the language learning strategies (LLSs) employed by international undergraduate students at universities in Qinghai Province, China, and their proficiency in advanced Chinese vocabulary and writing. Data was collected from 45 advanced-level students selected through purposive sampling, using Oxford’s strategy inventory for language learning (SILL), an advanced Chinese vocabulary knowledge test, and advanced Chinese writing test scores. The descriptive analysis revealed moderate language learning strategy usage, with a preference for speaking and listening development. This result indicates a limited strategy usage. The correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between strategy usage and advanced Chinese vocabulary or writing proficiency. However, a strong relationship was observed between advanced Chinese vocabulary and writing proficiency. The absent relationship between strategy usage and proficiency levels suggests insufficient Chinese language proficiency among the students. The significant relationship highlights the crucial role of vocabulary in enhancing Chinese writing skills. The results provide practical insights for enhancing the use of strategies and vocabulary teaching to improve advanced writing and Chinese proficiency among international undergraduate students.

This study aims to analyze and understand the student progression from the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (BS Math) program. A discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC) model was used to analyze data from 211 students enrolled from 2011-2012 to 2022-2023. The results reveal that there are students who will be retained in their year level, shift to another degree program, or drop. Additionally, the highest risk of shifting or dropping out of the program happens during the first two semesters in college or for first year in college. A bottleneck effect during the second year and third year was identified. Furthermore, the results suggest that there will be an approximately 35.22% graduation rate after eight semesters or four years, implying a large portion of BS Math students will be retained or dropped from the program, or shifted to other degree programs. To avoid such, it is suggested that the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Department should conduct review sessions, bridging programs, and continuous promotion. Lastly, it is suggested to conduct thorough studies about the possible intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting the student progression to formulate a more specific intervention that may help in reducing the shifting and dropping rate.

Chung Xuan Pham , Hang Thi My Nguyen , Giang Thi Châu Nguyen , Lam Thi Hong Thai , Dung Thi Truong
A total of 488 observations from secondary and high school teachers were randomly divided into two groups for conducting analysis: 244 for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and 244 for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The experimental results from EFA revealed six latent factors, accumulating for over 68.43% of the variance in the data. The CFA reports validated the 6-factor model, demonstrating strong model fit indices and ensuring high reliability and validity. These factors discovered and named in this study are as: facilities and teaching support, capacity to organize project-based learning (PjBL), perception of PjBL, readiness for PjBL, teachers’ confidence in applying PjBL, and students’ characteristics. The findings validated these latent factors’ model as a comprehensive framework for understanding the essential aspects of organizing PjBL. By addressing both the identification and empirical validation of influencing factors, the study thoroughly responds to the research questions and strengthens the overall contribution to the field. This study is novel in its development and validation of a context-specific measurement model for PjBL in mathematics education, particularly within the Vietnamese educational context, where empirically grounded models of this nature remain scarce. Furthermore, it offers valuable practical information for teachers, educational administrators, and researchers to enhance and promote the effective application of PjBL in mathematics education.
