Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of an idiom-driven learning strategy on low achievers' motivation, conceptional learning, and argumentation in science. A web-based program was developed according to the low achievers' needs, and included scaffoldings such as digital animation, science inquiry simulation, discussion blocks, and sentence templates. The results showed that the experimental group that received the web-based idiom-driven learning strategy performed significantly better in science compared to the control group. Factors such as personification, humor, metaphor, problem-solving learning context, and online scaffoldings contributed to the experimental groups' success in argumentation.

Summary: The global COVID-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions to switch to e-learning, causing social isolation and toxic disinhibition among university students. This study examines the factors influencing toxic disinhibition behavior in online classrooms and messaging groups, and explores the role of social isolation as a moderating variable. The findings suggest that victimization, attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral control positively and significantly impact toxic disinhibition online, while motives and self-efficacy have no significant influence. Toxic disinhibition also has a significant positive effect on toxic behavior. Social isolation may moderate these relationships. The research provides guidance for addressing toxic disinhibition online and offers implications and recommendations.

Summary: Honeybee swarms demonstrate collective behavior by forming a scenting-mediated communication network, with bees arranging in a specific spatial distribution and signaling directionally away from the queen. Through an agent-based model, researchers studied how physical parameters affect collective scenting behavior and discovered that increased directional bias in scenting leads to more efficient aggregation processes that avoid local equilibrium configurations.

Summary: This study examines the effects of adding game elements to learning tasks on learning engagement, specifically on attrition. The results show that game elements not only affect participant attrition, but also engagement of participants who completed the task. Additionally, game elements influence both learning efficacy and efficiency, and their effects are partially mediated by task attractiveness.

Summary: With the development of telemedicine and e-health, online health communities have become a convenient source of information for patients. This study explores the impact of patients' self-disclosure on their trust in physicians, using data from the China-based online health community Good Doctor. The results show that patients' self-disclosure positively influences their trust in physicians, and the provision of social support by physicians mediates this relationship. Additionally, the motivation for seeking help in patients' messages has different effects on patients' self-disclosure depending on the type of social support provided by physicians.

Summary: As AI-MC technology becomes more widely used for communication, its impact on interpersonal relationships in multinational working environments is significant. Using AI-MC tools to apologize reduces the authenticity perception and willingness to forgive. Self-disclosure of using AI-MC does not mitigate this effect. However, using a limited number of AI-MC tools does not negatively affect the perceived authenticity of the apology.

Summary: The current research on teacher support strategies for cyberbullied students is inconsistent, leading to teacher inaction and non-disclosure by victims. This study measured adolescents' intent to disclose hypothetical cyberbullying experiences to a teacher after being presented with different types of support. The findings showed that each support type increased intent to disclose, but teacher support for less severe incidents decreased disclosure intentions. Additionally, disclosure intentions were higher among females and those with higher school climate scores.

Summary: Cyberloafing refers to the use of technological devices for non-academic activities during class. Misuse of technology in educational settings, particularly cyberloafing, leads to learning problems. This study aims to explore the reasons behind cyberloafing among foreign language learners of Turkish and investigate participants' perspectives. The study utilized a mixed methods approach with quantitative data collected using the Cyberloafing Behaviors Scale from 207 Turkish language learners at 5 different teaching centers. Qualitative data was collected through open-ended questions. Analysis included t-tests and ANOVAs to examine mean differences and multiple regression analysis to determine predictors of cyberloafing behavior. Findings showed no significant gender differences in cyberloafing behavior or time spent on social media; however, there was a significant difference in real-time updating dimension between different proficiency levels. Owning devices like laptops was found to be the strongest predictor of cyberloafing, and an increase in speaking skills correlated with a decrease in cyberloafing behavior. Qualitative data revealed that students engaged in cyberloafing due to boredom, engaging in messaging, and sharing photos and videos.

Summary: This study compared the effects of synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated communication on students' digital reading achievement. The results showed that synchronous communication had a positive impact on students, while asynchronous communication had a negative impact. Medium achievers were the most sensitive to both forms of communication, while high achievers were not influenced and low achievers were influenced only in certain circumstances.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of using learning analytics to support students' autonomy and competence needs in a blended learning environment. The findings show that teachers' adaptation based on learning analytics positively influences students' satisfaction with the adapted learning environment. However, students' basic psychological needs vary depending on the face-to-face workshop subject. The study emphasizes the importance of thoughtful blended learning course design and provides recommendations for effective learning analytics utilization in university settings.

Summary: This article introduces a shortened version of the European Commission's SELFIE tool for measuring the digital capacity of schools. Two shorter measurement instruments, called midi-SELFIE and mini-SELFIE, are proposed based on the original tool. The validity and uses of these shortened versions are explored through various cases and compared to the complete instrument. The results suggest that the shortened versions of SELFIE are reliable alternatives for specific purposes.
