Interventions for the Development of Intrinsic Motivation in University Online Education: Systematic Review—Enhancing the 4th Sustainable Development Goal

Background: The development of quality education, as stated by the United Nations in the 4th Sustainable Development Goal of the 2030 Agenda, is a very relevant aspect to work on, and specifically, motivation can play an important role. Consequently, the development of intrinsic motivation (IM) in university education and searches for possible interventions have increased exponentially in the last decade. However, no reviews have been published analyzing the interventions and the results obtained. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to systematically analyze the development of IM in online education through the different intervention programs carried out in university teaching. Methods: A systematic review of PubMed, Web of Sciences and Scopus was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Results: Of the 255 studies initially identified, 17 were thoroughly reviewed, and all interventions and outcomes were extracted and analyzed. Most of the interventions achieved better outcomes after implementation. Five types of possible courses of action to promote IM have been identified. Conclusions: It is worth highlighting the unanimity found regarding the importance of proposing specific approaches based on the development of IM in university online teaching since it promotes satisfaction regarding studying and greater involvement of students.

Universities’ Capabilities and Effective Implementation of E-Learning in Public Universities in Kampala City, Uganda

The COVID-19 pandemic restricted access to campuses of universities owing to intermittent lock downs. Consequently, educational institutions were forced to adopt virtual teaching techniques to ensure continued teaching and learning. However, the effective implementation of online education in universities in Uganda faced capability challenges that hindered its effectiveness. Therefore, this study investigated the influence of universities’ capabilities on the effective implementation of e-learning in public universities in Kampala City, Uganda during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic period. Anchoring in resource-based theory (RBT), universities’ capabilities for effective implementation e-learning studied included experimentation, integration capability, and content management. Using the quantitative approach, cross-sectional data was collected from a sample of 312 academic staff from Kyambogo and Makerere Universities,the only two public universities located in Kampala City, Uganda. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics involved the calculation of means while inferential analysis involved structural equation models (SEM) using SmartPLS. The results revealed that content management and integration capability positively and significantly predicted e-learning implementation. However,experimentation negatively and insignificantly predicted e-learning implementation. The study concluded that content management and integration capability are vital for e-learning implementation. Nonetheless, experimentation is not a probable requirement for the effective implementation of e-learning. Therefore, it was recommended that university managers should develop integration capabilities, and should support lecturers to improve their content management, but experimentation should not be prioritised in the implementation of e-learning.

Exploring challenges of online education in universities 2021-2022: Mexico-Kuwait comparative analysis

Online university education during and after the COVID19 pandemic underwent changes that this study sought to identify the main difficulty for students and teachers that prevent detonating education with quality and university efficiency. An electronic snowball survey was applied to collect information sectioned into information on isolation, access to technology and the value of emotions in education, with a mixed methodology and a hermeneutic analysis. The relevance of a comparative analysis between Kuwait and Mexico was analyzed, with a stratified random sampling in two population groups: students and university teachers. The data collection was applied in both countries between December 2021 and January 2022. The results from 2,247 participants show that in both countries, women are more receptive and assertive to educational challenges than men. Mexico entered the virtual university process quickly without guaranteeing electronic equipment or training, while Kuwait began by training teachers, guaranteeing electronic equipment with training, and staggering schedules for different levels of education throughout the day to ensure that female teachers were at home and time was used effectively.

The effects of the use of mobile devices on the E-learning process and perceived learning outcomes in university online education

This paper examines the impact of using mobile devices, the pivotal element of a student-centered ecosystem, on the learning process and learning outcomes from a system’s view in which mobile technologies are considered a critical success factor to facilitate the dialogue and self-regulatory learning processes, thereby enhancing e-learning outcomes. We synthesize the disparate literature to develop an elevated model. A total of 323 valid and unduplicated responses from students who have completed at least one online course at a Midwestern university in the U.S. were used to examine the structural model, using SmartPLS v. 3.3.2. The results of this study show that the use of mobile devices positively affects student-instructor and student-student dialogues. It also facilitates the self-regulation process, which in turn positively affects the learning outcomes. Integrating mobile technology enables educational institutions to design and build distance learning systems that allow students to be highly flexible with their locations and schedules in the learning process. We discuss several implications of this research for educational institutions and distance learners in a student-centered higher education ecosystem.

On the Student Internet Activity via Both Virtual Simulations and Remote Laboratory for Scientific Education

Focusing on the approach for developing professional skills, this paper is dedicated to the University on-line education as a pedagogical tool for material science and solid state physics as well. Two strategies described within the comparative analysis are based on the students tests performed at the Southern Federal University. A remote access to the research laboratory infrastructure allows our approach for the interactive simulations-based learning process with the provision of individual educational programs to be launched. This problem is presently of urgent interests, and applied in material science we have discussed its importance from different perspectives, i.e. to teach X-ray spectroscopy via the interactive software simulation of modern equipment or to perform a research at remote laboratories in a real time. Within this note we conceptually analyse some quantitative data of the learning process for a number of students that formed at both interactive sense-making and learning by doing.

Modelling Students’ Adoption of E-Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This research examines the impact of gender and age differences on the attitude towards online education in universities and colleges during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hungary. The answers were evaluated using Partial Least Squares estimation technique by involving age and gender as moderator variables. The research model is based on a modified version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) proposed by Davis, Warshaw, and Bagozzi (1989) and expanded by a good teaching scale. Apart from perceived ease of use, other variables illustrated significant direct relationships. Moderating effect of age and gender of the surveyed Hungarian students influence formulation of attitude towards e-learning. The results illustrate that the gender and age of the respondents influence the perceived usefulness → behavioral intention pathway. Also, the age of respondents has an impact on the relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness.

Improving Dropout Forecasting during the COVID-19 Pandemic through Feature Selection and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network

Nowadays, online education in universities is mature from the situation of COVID-19 spread. It has greatly changed the learning environment in the classroom and has also resulted in students’ dropout. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence students’ dropout in the department of information technology of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. Students enrolled in the subjects in the COVID-19 pandemic situation must study online at their homes and must take online courses. This study investigated 1,650 student records, 19,450 enrollments, 16,200 grades, and 11,780 social media accounts that had access to all online courses. It was examined how to improve the model's performance by combining feature selection with a multilayer perceptron neural network method. The model was compared to student dropout predictions generated by Logistic regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network, with feature selection (1). The 10-Folds Cross Validation method was used to determine the efficiency of the Gain Ratio, Chi-Square, and Correlation-based Feature Selection models to compare accuracy, precision, sensitivity, F1 score, and classification error rate (e). After adjusting the modeling parameters, the multilayer perceptron neural network method combined with CFS characterization achieved an accuracy of 96.98%. The study’s findings indicate that the feature selection technique can be used to improve the neural network model's efficiency in predicting student dropout during a COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the simulation can improve student dropout forecasting during spread out that persists.

Working and Learning during the COVID-19 Confinement: An Exploratory Analysis with a Small Sample from Portugal

The epidemiological situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to efforts to mitigate the transmission of the infection, forcing workers and students to stay at home. Universities closed, as did many businesses, forcing education and work to adapt to the new situation. While for some people it was a positive experience, for others it was not. This article analyzes the responses of 89 respondents, over 18 years old, in teleworking or enrolled in university online education, in a survey at the beginning of 2021, when Portugal was in a new state of emergency. Variables such as gender, age and parenthood were used, as well as ownership of equipment, own workspace, and quality of internet, comparing distance learning/work with traditional methods and measuring levels of satisfaction and willingness to adopt this model in the future. These results suggest an association of gender and parenting in the valuation of telework/distance education; women were more positive than men and participants with children were more positive than participants without children. The same was the case for respondents with their own workspace and better-quality internet. There is a strong relation between paternity and the preference for the distance model, in the sense of valuing the distance model, as well as a relation between those who have their own work space and the appreciation of the distance model. In general, respondents to our survey showed that they are not fond of adopting telework/distance learning in the future.

ЦИФРОВАЯ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ РОССИЙСКИХ ВУЗОВ: ПЕРВЫЙ ОПЫТ

There are numerous disputes and discussions about the need to introduce online learning technologies into the educational process of the university. However, the welcoming examples of individual educational institutions should not give rise to the illusion of complete and widespread prosperity. In many Russian universities, the situation with the introduction of new teaching aids is, to put it mildly, difficult both in terms of the availability of an organizational strategy and in terms of cultural changes. The article attempts to characterize the situation with online education in universities based on an analysis of the expectations of students who seem ready to move to digital, and the decisions of the Bologna process, requiring the introduction of online components in the educational process of universities. In addition, the authors of the article provide an overview of the initial attempts to introduce online learning into the educational process of universities in a particular region, taking into account the systematic and psychological difficulties that have arisen. As the best option, the authors propose a combination of online education with a research component in order to preserve the university's status as a center of science and education.
