Factors Affecting Primary School Students' Learning Experiences When Using MUVEs: Development and Validation of a Scale
3D multi user virtual environments (MUVEs) are considered a technological advancement that, in the coming years, will have a significant impact on how students learn. On the other hand, the factors that shape the learning experience in such applications are not well studied. This chapter is an attempt to fill that gap. It reports the development and validation of a scale to measure the factors that come into play when primary school students use MUVEs in formal educational settings. Perceived learning effectiveness, perceived ease of use, presence, motivation, perceived application realism, interactions, enjoyment, as well as collaboration were used to develop a questionnaire that initially included 34 items. A total of 352 sixth grade primary school students used a MUVE in formal educational settings and the aforementioned questionnaire was administered to them. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed the existence of 7 factors and 24 items that were retained in the final version of the scale. The factor structure of the questionnaire is also discussed. Factors Affecting Primary School Students' Learning Experiences When Using MUVEs: Development and Validation of a Scale

Analysis of the factors that are affecting the development of the English speaking skill instudents of 8th grade "G" at Miguel de Cervantes High School Managua during the secondsemester of 2017.
The topic of this research is about the factors that are affecting the development of the English speaking skill in students of 8th grade "G" at Miguel de Cervantes High School Managua during the second semester of 2017. The main objective is to analyze factors such as grammatical, or motivational stopping the development of student`s communication skills. The main problem that this class is facing is about how students feel in relation of their knowledge so as to develop a good conversation among them. Since most of them feel shy and uncomfortable speaking in front of the class or even they do not participate in the classroom activities at all, it is very disturbing to see disinterested students in class, careless about their growing path because they are not seriously taking their learning process or because the teacher does not use enough resources and motivational activities to keep the attention and discipline from students. This is a transversal research because it is based on a specific time, and it is also focused on a mixed approach because it was analyzed through the recollection, analysis and relation of qualitative and quantitative data. Besides, the instruments were applied to 18 students. So all students' present were taken for the instrument and there was no opportunity to randomly select them. The formula and calculation was taken from an excel sheet developed by Dr. Manuel Pedroza at UNAN Managua using the simple random sampling method shown below

Investigating factors affecting learner's perception toward online learning: evidence from ClassStart application in Thailand
ABSTRACT Twenty First Century Education is a design of instructional culture that empower learner centered through the philosophy of 'Less teaching but more learning' Due to the development of technology enhance learning in developing countries such as Thailand, online learning is rapidly growing in the electronic learning market. ClassStart is a learning management system developed to support Thailand's educational management and to promote the student centred learning processes. The study of online learning acceptance is primarily required to successfully achieve online learning system development. However, the behavioural intention of students to use online learning systems has not been well examined, in particular, by focusing specific but representative applications such as ClassStart in this study. This research takes the usage of ClassStart as research scenario and investigates the individual acceptance of technology through the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, as well as technological quality through the Delone and McLean IS success model. The Partial Least Squares method, a statistics analysis technique based on the Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyze the data. It was found that performance expectancy, social influence, information quality and system quality have the significant effect on intention to use ClassStart.

Factors Affecting Students' Performance in Distributed Pair Programming
Pair Programming has been shown to increase productivity and code quality not only in professional software development but also in the context of programming education. The provision of broadband Internet access gave rise to Distributed Pair Programming (DPP) enabling two programmers to collaborate remotely. To gain insight into the benefits of DPP, we performed an empirical study on an object oriented programming course where 62 students carried out assignments through a DPP platform. The goal of the study is to investigate, in the context of DPP, whether prior programming skills (assessed at the level of student, his or her partner and pair) and pair compatibility are related to student performance. To further examine the effect of DPP on learning outcomes, we have studied whether a pair's performance on DPP assignments is related to the students' grade. The findings indicate that the student's actual skill and the pair's actual skill affect his or her performance in an object oriented programming course. The results also suggested that there is no association between pair compatibility and his or her own performance. Finally, pair performance on DPP assignments is related to the individual student performance in the final exams. Such evidence can be used to guide instructors when planning DPP assignments and especially when forming student pairs.
