In the information age, individuals' ability to access, use, and transfer information is fundamental for personal and professional success. Digital and research literacy are critical skills that strengthen teachers' professional competencies in contemporary educational processes. This study examines the correlation between teachers' proficiency in…

Computer simulation technology and virtual reality technology have gained considerable attention in the field of education due to their potential to create various 3D interactive learning environments, typically including simulated learning environments and immersive learning environments. To gain a deeper understanding of students' learning…

The metaverse has gained considerable attention and enormous investments in recent years and is increasingly recognized as a critical domain for future interactions and communications. Despite its growing importance, there is a notable lack of research on metaverse literacy, especially in education and training. This study aims to conceptualize…

Scrolling is a widely used mean to interact with visual displays, usually to move content to a certain target location on the display. Understanding how user scroll might identify potentially suboptimal use and allows to infer users' intentions. In the present study, we examined where users click on a scrollbar depending on the intended scrolling…

In recent years, do-it-yourself microcontrollers and sensors have gained increased attention as measurement devices for physics teaching (see, for example, Refs. 1-5). This is not surprising, since Arduinos are relatively cheap and ubiquitous, the code base and design are open source, and there is a wide variety of sensors available. Arduinos can…

Revision plays an important role in writing, and as revisions break down the linearity of the writing process, they are crucial in describing writing process dynamics. Keystroke logging and analysis have been used to identify revisions made during writing. Previous approaches include the manual annotation of revisions, building nonlinear…

In January 2024, the Danish Data Protection Agency issued a landmark ruling, challenging the integration of Chromebook laptops in Danish public schools under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This article presents a study of the Chromebook case to explore the entanglement of commercial tech infrastructures and welfare state…

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) about computing devices. Seven families with ASD children were interviewed about their children's use of computer devices and their impact on their academic and social behavior. Although parents raised concerns about internet…

Higher education has become dependent on the use of digital materials, which may include texts, audiovisual content, and software applications. Because students in higher education are largely responsible for providing the computing devices they are required to use to interact with their digital course materials, instructors and instructional…

This paper examines the transformation of history education at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) as it moves from traditional classroom settings to cloud-based e-learning environments. Drawing on recent studies, institutional reports, and global education analyses, the research highlights how digital platforms, cloud technologies, and interactive…

This phenomenological study examines academicians' beliefs and lived experiences of using tablet PC based on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Participants included 15 academic staff working in a university in Turkey. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and subjected to content…

In this paper we discuss the types of knowledge used by six middle school students as they engaged with a debugging task designed to integrate ideas from computer science, mathematics and science. Our findings show that the computational thinking practice of debugging is a rich source of opportunities to integrate these different disciplines. The…

Passive data from a tracking application (or "meter") installed on participants' devices to register the URLs visited have great potential for studying people's online activities. However, given privacy concerns, obtaining cooperation installing a meter can be difficult and lead to selection bias. Therefore, in this article, we address…

Educational technology has shown an increase in use over the years as a method of remediating student academic deficits. While educational technology demonstrates various benefits for students in schools, there is still limited research depicting what amount of intervention students should receive through educational technology. To ensure schools…

As literacy and reading evolve, it is important to identify and describe the strategies and skills used in constructing meaning. This study examines online multimodal reading (OMR) strategies: those used in constructing meaning from multimodal information sources (e.g., images, audio, written words) on the Internet. Participants read online…
