The aim of the current study is to explore the direct and indirect relationships between emerging technology and cognitive development. This study utilized a cross-sectional research design, employing a questionnaire survey approach for data collection from students in higher education. The multi-point Likert scale was used to measure emerging technology, cognitive development, and digital social support. Data were collected from 500 students, both male and female, studying at Chinese universities. The PLS-SEM approach was applied to analyze the structural relationship among the given variables in this research study. Findings of the study indicated that emerging technology has a positive and significant relationship with cognitive development, and that digital social support positively and significantly mediates the connection between emerging technology and cognitive development among higher education students. It was concluded that both emerging technology and digital social support are predictors of students' cognitive development at the higher education level. The study contributes to the literature on emerging technology, cognitive development, and digital social support in the context of higher education. This study provides valuable theoretical and practical implications for teachers, psychologists, and curriculum developers at the higher education level.

Google Classroom is practical for teachers and students as it makes the teaching and learning process more manageable. It is one of the practical pedagogical tools used by various higher educational institutions, as supported by previous studies. In line with this, the study is focused on exploring the factors that affect students’ acceptance of Google Classroom as an effective tool in learning Physical Education, adapting the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). After obtaining data from 1,916 students currently taking minor PE in an online setting at City College of Angeles and after performing Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the results revealed that students perceived ease of use positively predict their perceived usefulness of the LMS. Moreover, perceived ease of use positively influences students’ behavioral intention to use. Also, the students’ perceived usefulness increases behavioral intention to use Google Classroom in learning PE. Lastly, behavioral intent to use leverages students’ actual use of the educational platform. The findings of this study help the academic council and higher administration to decide if the said LMS can continuously be used as the college is still in a full-online learning modality. Recommendations and future research directions are also presented.

Hoy día los estudiantes se enfrentan a problemas cada vez más complejos que requieren enfoques que trascienden las disciplinas, ya que no se pueden abordar de manera aislada. La interdisciplinariedad se concibe como un acto de intercambio, de reciprocidad entre las disciplinas y una posibilidad de enriquecer e integrar los elementos del conocimiento. El objetivo de este estudio se focaliza en diseñar, validar y fiabilizar un instrumento que permita valorar las competencias interdisciplinares de los estudiantes. Se ha utilizado un diseño instrumental de investigación en el que participaron 600 estudiantes universitarios de Ecuador. Para conocer las propiedades psicométricas de la escala se efectuaron diferentes análisis con el software estadístico JASP. Se realizaron diversos análisis, obteniendo valores pertinentes. Las correlaciones entre las dimensiones fueron positivas en todos los casos y los pesos factoriales de cada una de ellas mostraron adecuación de cada ítem con respecto a la dimensión de la que forma parte. Finalmente, el análisis de confiabilidad del instrumento basado en el coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach y Omega de McDonald arrojó resultados aceptables, tanto para la confiabilidad global como para cada una de las dimensiones que componen el instrumento. Se concluye que el instrumento diseñado es pertinente para valorar las competencias interdisciplinares en estudiantes ecuatorianos de educación superior.

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to assess the frequency of using classroom assessment tools and methods for mathematics teachers. This study was conducted on 320 Turkish mathematics teachers. The data were analysed using the SPSS 17.0 and LISREL 8.8 statistical software packages. EFA and CFA, item-total correlations, and convergent and discriminant validities were used to assess the construct validity. EFA and item analysis were performed with 170 mathematics teachers. After EFA, a four-factor scale with 25 items was identified, explaining 52.38% of the variance. The CFA was carried out with 150 mathematics teachers. The first and second-order CFA results indicated that the scale model had good fit indices, and the convergent and discriminant validity of the scale was confirmed. The Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability (CR) coefficients were satisfactory. The results of this study showed that the scale is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing the frequency of mathematics teachers’ use of classroom assessment tools and methods.

The spread of the COVID-19 virus has affected many organizations across the globe and has forced them to adapt and make use of a variety of emerging online communication technologies. However, because of the abrupt shift, the education sector has experienced challenges such as relative to students’ interaction and engagement with their peers and teachers. This study aimed to test the association among students’ (n=189) social needs, social interaction, and student engagement in emergency online learning platforms. Inferential statistics for this correlational study included Pearson correlation analysis, linear regression analysis, and analysis of variance. The results show a positive correlation among the variables, which means the engagement (cognitive, behavioral, and emotional) forms a set of indicators or predictors that can influence the student's social needs and social interaction in this emergency online learning platform. Thus, attaining engagement would create strong communication and meet the needs of the students, which will lead to good academic performance despite the challenges of emergency online learning.

The different accreditation processes of undergraduate degrees are the object of research due to the value of international recognition based on their accreditation. Thus, accreditation has become the preferred means of monitoring and evaluating the quality of higher education and observing universities' impact on society. The present study is part of a broader research focused on developing a doctoral thesis. It is framed in the qualitative interpretative paradigm of an emergent exploratory type. The main objective is to identify the public value generated by accreditation in the continuous improvement of undergraduate programs accredited by SINAES (an anagram of Sistema Nacional de Acreditación de la Educación Superior, National System of Higher Education Acceditation), in the field of education in Costa Rica. Five in-depth interviews were conducted to learn the perceptions of the key informants who participated in the accreditation process of the six selected degree programs. The results show the public value that accreditation produces in the continuous improvement of Education Degree Programs through ten categories that cover the achievements, benefits, results and effects of the contribution of SINAES in the continuous improvement processes of higher education. In conclusion, accreditation has become one of the determining factors when selecting an Education Degree Program in Costa Rica. The processes carried out by SINAES are perceived as legitimate and of excellence in developing these types of quality certifications.
