Summary: Motivation and instruction are two important domains in educational psychology, but theory and research in these areas are often fragmented. This review proposes a two-step integration process to unify these domains and help students learn. The first step is intra-domain integration within motivation and instruction, and the second step is inter-domain integration between motivation and instruction. This integration holds potential for more coherent theorizing, measurement, and practical application.

Summary: The study used a two-factor experimental design to examine the effects of algorithm-based video lectures on sustained attention, learning engagement, cognitive load, and learning outcomes of verbal and visual learners. The results showed that cognitive style and video lecture type had an influence on attention and engagement levels, with visual learners performing better in the animation group. Additionally, as media diversity increased, cognitive load also increased, but it did not significantly affect learning outcomes. The study provides valuable insights for creating effective video lectures and supports research on video courses from a neuroscience perspective.

Summary: The study examines the impact of a chatbot's motivation support style on learners' experience and intention to continue studying online English lectures. 79 undergraduate students from a private university in South Korea were assigned to three different learning plan development groups: developing a plan alone, autonomy support (intrinsic motivation stimulation chatbot), and control support (extrinsic motivation promoting chatbot). The learners were categorized based on their motivation types (intrinsic and extrinsic) to create matched and non-matched motivation support conditions in learning plan development. The findings suggest that a chatbot with a non-matched motivation strategy improves learner self-efficacy, enjoyment, and intention to continue using the lecture. Additionally, the study reveals the positive effect of a chatbot's control support on the learning experience, and emphasizes the importance of differentiating the chatbot's conversational style and user characteristics to enhance user evaluation.

Summary: The study found that instructional designers define online course quality based on established standards and rubrics, apply cognitive load strategies intuitively while designing online courses, and consider CLT design strategies as an element contributing to course quality. Results also showed that instructional designers mainly focus on reducing extraneous cognitive load when using cognitive load strategies. The implications for practice and research as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Summary: This paper presents 12 tips for online teaching based on contemporary research in educational psychology, specifically focusing on empirically supported strategies. The tips can be applied by teachers to optimize learning in online classrooms, regardless of age groups or subjects. The strategies are categorized into two themes: optimizing online learning materials design and implementing instructional strategies to support student learning. The discussion provides guidance on how teachers can apply these strategies in different contexts, along with an overview of emerging efforts to integrate cognitive load theory and self-regulated learning research.

Summary: This study examined the effects of remote learning attitude, extrinsic and intrinsic goal orientation on online engagement. The results confirmed the relationships between online collaboration with peers, online communication with instructor, participation in online classes, completing assignments and tasks, and engagement. The study also found significant relationships between attitude towards attending online courses and the skills and emotional dimensions of engagement, as well as between intrinsic goal orientation and the skills and emotional dimensions of engagement. Extrinsic goal orientation was only related to the performance dimension of engagement.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the cognitive effects of a combined physically and cognitively engaging physical activity to physical or cognitive activity alone in children. The results showed no significant difference in cognitive performance between different types of activities. Possible explanations include overexertion during physical activity and depletion of positive affect prior to cognitive tasks.

Summary: This review evaluates the potential therapeutic roles of natural antioxidants in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The literature search identifies various natural antioxidants, including active compounds, carotenoids, extracts and polysaccharides, flavonoids, formulations, vitamins, and whole foods, that may have therapeutic effects in AMD. The study suggests that natural antioxidants have the potential to improve or halt the progression of AMD, and tailoring therapeutics to the specific disease stages may be crucial in preventing irreversible vision loss.

Summary: Studies have shown that tropical Meliponini bees produce stingless bee honey (SBH) with beneficial properties, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. SBH contains high concentrations of phenolic acids and flavonoids, which contribute to its therapeutic benefits. SBH can stimulate synaptic plasticity and synaptogenesis through BDNF/TrkB pathways, promoting learning and memory.

Summary: This review identified nine components with 25 subcomponents of effective online learning environments in medical education. These components include cognitive enhancement, content curation, digital capability, technological usability, pedagogical practices, learner characteristics, learning facilitator, social representations, and institutional support. These components interact with each other and play a crucial role in online learning platforms. A technology-enhanced learning in medical education (TELEMEd) model is proposed as a framework for evaluating online learning environment in medical education.

Summary: A biodegradable halochromic film based on PBAT was developed as a novel pH sensory material that can undergo color changes in acidic and base exposure. The addition of starch and PEG improved the efficacy of the pH film. The film was fabricated through solution casting method and its characteristics were evaluated using FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and mechanical tests. The results showed that the film exhibited clear color response and mechanical performance. Real testing on food applications demonstrated its potential in sensing pH changes due to bacterial activities. The film has wide applications in food packaging, biomedical, and environmental industries.

Summary: This study investigated medical students' perceptions of the anatomy education environment and its association with their learning approaches. The results showed that most students had a positive perception of the anatomy education environment, although they had concerns about the anatomy learning resources and quality of histology learning facilities. The majority of students adopted a deep learning approach, but the factors in the anatomy education environment did not significantly affect their learning approaches. Further longitudinal research is needed to explore the relationship between these variables.
