Abstract

Academic stress and student retention are pressing concerns in higher education. This study investigates the impact of a play-based learning (PBL) pedagogy, utilizing LEGO bricks and the Brickit mobile application, on students’ self-perceived academic stress and their intention to continue engaging with such methods. A quasi-experimental activity was conducted with 105 commerce undergraduates. Following the activity, 100 participants completed a cross-sectional survey measuring their evaluation of the PBL approach, perceived academic stress, and continuation intention. Regression analysis revealed that a positive evaluation of the PBL approach was a significant predictor of lower perceived academic stress (β = 0.355, p < 0.001) and higher continuation intention (β = 0.174, p < 0.01). The findings suggest that integrating playful, hands-on elements into curricula can create a more engaging and less stressful learning environment, potentially fostering greater student persistence. This study supports the adoption of innovative, experiential pedagogies to address well-being and engagement challenges in tertiary education.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents transformative opportunities for education, particularly in developing students' competencies for the future workforce. This research investigates the influence of AI integration in education on the enhancement of students' soft skills, with a specific focus on communication skills. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study combines quantitative data from 100 student questionnaires with qualitative insights from focus-group discussions, framed by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Social Learning Theory (SLT). The findings indicate that students primarily recognize AI's potential in the cognitive and affective domains of learning, appreciating its utility for information access and personalized experiences. However, its impact on behavioral response, particularly the sustained development of communication-related soft skills, remains limited and unclear. While AI stimulates new, efficient study habits, it has not yet demonstrated the capacity to nurture the long-term, interactive practice essential for complex soft skill development. This study concludes that for AI to contribute meaningfully to sustainable education, its design and implementation must evolve beyond efficiency tools to include structured, social, and practice-oriented applications that actively foster critical interpersonal skills.

Abstract

The shift towards HyFlex learning in the post-pandemic era has introduced new challenges for higher education, particularly in maintaining student engagement and motivation in online learning environments. This paper examines the potential of anonymous asynchronous online discussion forums (AODFs) to enhance participation and engagement in large online classes. We propose a new model of forum management that integrates question-answering and peer-to-peer interaction, allowing students to post questions anonymously while responses remain non-anonymous. The study investigates the evolving roles of teachers and students in promoting and participating in forum activities, adopting a “students as partners” perspective. Data from the implemented AODF indicate increased student participation and motivation, with a substantial portion of non-academic questions addressed through peer discussion. Challenges such as lurking behavior and the limitations of relying solely on technology are also highlighted. The study underscores the critical role of instructors in evaluating and adapting emerging technologies to meet student needs and foster a sense of community in online learning environments.

Abstract

In higher education, student evaluations play a crucial role in assessing teaching quality. However, these evaluations areofteninfluenced byextraneous factors, e.g., false high-grade expectations indicated by course instructors. While previous research has extensively examined the long-term implications of grade inflation, the immediate impact of students' expectations for higher grades on their teaching evaluations has been less explored. This paper leverages smart campus data from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, coveringthe periodfrom 2018 to 2020, to addressthis gap. By selecting four representative indicators, we investigate their potential to enhance teaching quality through student evaluations. Our analysis reveals that integrating additional data on student life and academic performance from Smart Campus systems can help identify key factors influencing students’ expected grades. This, in turn, allows for more precise adjustments to teaching evaluation results, pave the way to develop AI models aimed at enhancing the accuracy and reducing the incredibility of student evaluation of teaching.
