Background/purpose: The increasing integration of digital technology in education underscores the need for instructional models that support personalized, skill-based, and problem-solving focused learning. While traditional pedagogies often fail to address these needs comprehensively, this study proposes that the Mastery Adaptive Problem-Solving…

In the context of physics education, it is imperative that educators prioritize the development of students' problem-solving abilities. Given the interdisciplinary nature of physics and its relevance to everyday life, students must possess robust problem-solving skills. However, conventional and uninspiring learning approaches have been shown to…

Collective Intelligence (CI) is important for groups that seek to address shared problems. CI in human groups can be mediated by educational technologies. The current paper presents a framework to support design thinking in relation to CI educational technologies. Our framework is grounded in an organismic-contextualist developmental perspective…

The architecture of the micro-learning platform mixed with gamification via metaverse is a research tool that was initiated by the concepts of micro-learning integrated with the gamification mechanism. It is intended to be employed as a guideline for the instruction management that encourages learners to perform self-learning with small or short…

The era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 has triggered an explosion of digitalization in all fields, especially information. This era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 has led to a shift in learning from face-to-face learning in the classroom to online learning. This study will determine students' argumentation skills and self-directed learning (SDL) in…

An alternating treatments design was used to analyze the effects of concrete and virtual manipulatives on the duration and number of correctly solved linear equations by three middle school students with cognitive disabilities. Participants physically manipulated algebra tiles to solve an equation during the concrete manipulative condition. During…

Educational digital escape games (EDEGs) are digital versions of escape rooms where players solve puzzles and complete challenges to achieve educational goals. This study investigates the effects of EDEGs on the academic achievement and motivation of elementary school students in mathematics. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-method design, 45…

The systematic review permitted the characterization of training programs in digital teaching competence using an analysis of their structure, implementation, and results. A comprehensive search was conducted across five databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science, Redalyc, Science Direct, and LENS, to retrieve scientific articles published between…

Even though many experimental studies have considered nurturing creativity as an essential advantage in implementing STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering, [Arts], and Mathematics) education, there is currently a lack of meta-analysis research on the effect of STE(A)M education on creativity to confirm that STE(A)M education can improve…

Creativity and problem-solving are 21st-century skills that we need to develop in our students. Research on computational thinking (CT) integration in school subjects and STEAM activities has shown a positive effect on students' problem-solving skills and creativity. Our study extends our previous work from the integration of CT in a mathematics…

Background: This paper presents an empirical analysis of problem-solving digital competence among primary and secondary students. The study explores the relationship between learners' personal autonomy, their ability to face and solve problems, and their capacity to thrive in the digital world. This investigation brings a fresh perspective,…

This research is intended to study the outcomes of analytical thinking and curiosity derived from the virtual smart classroom using the cooperative problem-based learning; thereby the said virtual smart classroom is a research tool initiated from the integration of the problem-based learning and the cooperative learning coupled with the aid of…

This study examines the design, implementation, and evaluation of a Digital Educational Escape Room (DEER) titled "Escape from the Doctor's Office," developed to enhance artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) literacy. Grounded in constructivist pedagogy and behaviorist principles, the DEER was designed using the ADDIE…

Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is embarking on an educational innovation program called SUTD campusX to support its future of education. SUTD campusX aims to innovate new educational models, technology tools, and pedagogies for a new form of learning called "Cyber-Physical Learning", where the concept is that both…

A study using a multiple-baseline across participants design was conducted in a U.S. alternative education setting to examine the functional relation between students' use of a technology-based graphic organizer (TBGO) with embedded self-regulated learning strategies on the quantity and quality of their persuasive essay writing. Three third- to…
