This study reviews recently published scientific literature on the use of chatbot in education, in order to: (a) identify the potential contribution of the incorporation of chatbot as educational tool in educational institutions, (b) present a synthesis of the available empirical evidence on the educational effectiveness of chatbot as an educational tool, and (c) define future research perspectives concerning educational chatbot. From 369 sources, 25 studies on chatbots and their application in education were selected through a step?by?step procedure based on the guidelines of the modified PRISMA framework, using a set of predefined criteria between 2016 2021 in five prestigious databases (a) Ebscohost, (b) Emerald, (c) ScienceDirect, (d) SpringerLink, and (e) Scopus. For each article, we analyse the purpose of the study, the content to be taught with the aid of chatbot, the type of chatbot used, the research method used, and the sample characteristics (sample size, age range of studen.....

The technology acceptance model (TAM) is an information systems model that models how consumers use and accept technology. Scholars have implemented TAM widely to examine the effectiveness and ease of use of online learning. Therefore, this analysis comprehensively analyses TAMs role in accepting online learning platforms by conducting bibliometric and content analysis based on the PRISMA framework. Insights into technology acceptance models were determined by bibliometrics analysis with VosViewer and content analysis. Methods: This study expanded all research from 2002 to 2020. A sum of 120 publications was analysed in January 2022 as documented in the Scopus database after applying the including and excluding criteria in addition to the manual evaluation. Results: This reviews findings identified the most compelling subjects covered by the journal. Most prolific countries, educational institutions, Journals, and authors were identified. Additionally, the results demonstrate several s.....

This systematic literature review examines the barriers, strategies, and accessibility issues affecting the engagement and retention of learners with disabilities in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Employing the PRISMA procedures, this study systematically identifies and analyzes relevant literature from five prestigious databases: (a) Scopus, (b) ScienceDirect, (c) Emerald, (d) SpringerLink, and (e) EBSCOhost in order to identify (1) the common barriers experienced by learners with disabilities in MOOCs, (2) the strategies that can be employed to improve the engagement and participation of special needs students in MOOCs and (3) influence of accessibility on engagement and retention rates of learners with disabilities in MOOCs. After conducting the screening and eligibility analysis according to the pre-defined criteria, 19 studies of out 624 sources were finally selected between 2014–2024. The review underscores the necessity for comprehensive policy frameworks and institution.....

Group counselling can assist teachers in better adapting to society and enhancing personality growth. Psychological capital also plays an important role in teachers’ professional development and career engagement. Nevertheless, the relationship between group counselling and the psychological capital development of kindergarten teachers is not fully understood. This study investigated the effects of group counselling on rural kindergarten teachers’ psychological capital status. A pre and post-test experimental design was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the group counselling programme on rural kindergarten teachers’ psychological capital in Fujian Province, China. The group counselling programme comprised three stages: initial, theme activity, and final stages, and was carried out for 8 weeks, with one topic per week, and 90 minutes for each session. The psychological capital questionnaire was used as an assessment tool to intervene with 40 kindergarten teachers in th.....

In this work higher Cu2+ removal efficiency was achieved by graphene oxide GO-based electrode with the constant magnetic field (CMF)-assisted electrodeposition system. The GO was initially synthesized by the electrochemical exfoliation method in the electrolyte containing custom-made surfactant. The as-prepared GO solution was then spray coated on the pre-heated stainless steel-cathode before annealed at 400°C for 1 hour. GO-based electrode with CMF-assisted electrodeposition system was successful removed 89.1% of Cu2+ from aqueous solutions as compared to the electrode without GO of only 75.5% of Cu2+ removal within a fixed 3 hours’ time. The efficient of Cu2+ removal by GO-based electrode was believed due to the high specific surface area of GO that increases the accommodation of the active species (Cu2+) at the electrode surfaces. In the meantime, it was found that the presence of CMF of 23 Gauss parallel to cathode surfaces enhances the convection and mass transport of Cu2+ char.....
