Studying abroad decisions among Taiwanese students: The roles of mooring factors and employability prospects

Despite the growing importance of international student mobility, limited research has simultaneously examined how educational quality, employability prospects, and psychological mooring factors jointly influence students’ intentions to study abroad (ISA). To address this gap, th...

Socratic, Artifact-Gated Generative AI Scaffolding in a 6E Inquiry Unit: A Clustered Quasi-Experiment in Elementary Students’ Computational Thinking

Open-ended computational thinking (CT) inquiry challenges one teacher to support learners progressing at different rates. This clustered quasi-experiment evaluated TALPer, a generative-AI tutor providing student-initiated, artifact-contingent Socratic prompts during a six-lesson...

Thermodegradation kinetics of hemicelluloses, cellulose, and lignin: A review of mechanistic interpretation and hybrid predictive frameworks

Understanding the thermodegradation kinetics of individual lignocellulosic components is essential for resolving inconsistencies in biomass decomposition modeling and improving predictive accuracy. This review aims to: (1) compare the kinetic models of different lignocellulosic c...
