But most products of the same type are very similar in the market. Therefore, how to find the factors that affect learners' perceived learning, and based on these factors, provide learners with more diversified services that match their needs, break the status quo of product homogeneity, is a problem worth thinking and studying at present<strong>. Research Design Data and Methodology:</strong> This study takes learners as the core, constructivism theory as the basis and questionnaire survey as a research instrument to study learners' perceived learning on English vocabulary learning application. Through an extensive review of previous relevant literature, four factors of motivation, dialogue, course design and layout design that may influence perceived learning were selected. 150 University students matching the population requirements were picked as sample on an online questionnaire platform, 150 questionnaires were returned, and all valid data were used to test hypotheses. <strong>Results:</strong> The results show that motivation, dialogue, course design and layout design all have significant influence on perceived learning. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> All of the four factors influenced the students’ perceived learning. The motivation was shown to have the most influence and the teachers and application developer should consider how the students’ motivation can be improved to enhance their experience of the learning and application.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Perceived learning, Student’s Motivation, Students’ dialogue, Course Design</p> <p><strong>JEL Classification Code: A22, I23, L86</strong></p> Fengyi Shi, Satha Phongsatha Copyright (c) 2024 Fengyi Shi, Satha Phongsatha http://www.assumptionjournal.au.edu/index.php/eJIR/article/view/8192 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 THE PRINCIPAL TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP STYLES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON TEACHERS' MOTIVATION http://www.assumptionjournal.au.edu/index.php/eJIR/article/view/8161 <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors of principal transformational leadership styles effect on the level of teachers’ motivation in Private Institutes at Yangon Region. The research objectives were to examine the levels of principal transformational leadership style including idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration, teachers’ motivation and identify the factors of principal transformational leadership styles effect on the level of teachers’ motivation. The survey questionnaire was applied for data collection with 36 teachers from 3 private institutes participated as the respondents. Multiple Linear Regression was applied for data analysis. The results revealed that a transformational leadership has statistically significant influence on teachers’ motivation. The individualized influence was the strongest influence which was accounted for 39.3% of the variance in the teacher’s motivation and it was statistically significant at p &lt;.001 with the Beta value of .701. In conclusion, this study recommends that principals should focus on individualized consideration factor that enhance the level of teachers’ motivation to increase effectiveness of private institutions at Yangon Region, Myanmar.</p> Phyu Thet Wai, Thanawan Phongsatha Copyright (c) 2024 Phyu Thet Wai, Thanawan Phongsatha http://www.assumptionjournal.au.edu/index.php/eJIR/article/view/8161 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 A MOBILE APPLICATION DESIGN FOR RETAIL FUEL ORDERING http://www.assumptionjournal.au.edu/index.php/eJIR/article/view/8187 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Propose:</strong> The design of mobile application to enhance fuel ordering process is a crucial step in optimizing user expectation and satisfaction in a relationship with user interface and user experience.
