Although e-learning is considered one of the leading teaching methods in higher education, both learners and instructors face significant challenges owing to reduced social interaction compared with traditional classroom learning. In this study, we explore the leveraging of recent developments in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and create…

Heutagogy, or self-determined learning, is a learner-centered educational approach emphasizing autonomy, capability, and lifelong learning. This literature review explores the theoretical foundations of heutagogy, its applications in contemporary education, and its vital role in fostering 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, adaptability,…

The transition from Primary to Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE) often causes difficulties for students developing reading skills in English as a second language (ESL) and can increase stress and disengagement, particularly within non-bilingual Spanish contexts. Existing research draws attention to these difficulties and the influence of ESL…

The metaverse is defined as an inevitable evolution of the internet and holds great potential as a new medium for social interaction. Its integration into educational environments has been increasingly recommended. This study aimed to explore a technology-supported solution for the challenges experienced in the problem-based learning (PBL) process…

While literature has discussed benefits and challenges of synchronous hybrid education, there is limited insight into how to tailor education activities to a hybrid setting. After distilling six principles from literature, the paper describes how a pilot conducted in the master Law & Technology at Tilburg Law School contributes to filling this…

Interest in virtual laboratory simulations as a pedagogical tool continues to grow, given the advantages of flexibility, scalability, technology integration, and interactive visualizations. We developed a laboratory model that integrates virtual lab simulations (VLS) and traditional in-person (IP) lab experiences for targeted skill development. In…

As big data and artificial intelligence become integral to business decision-making, business management students require proficiency in data science and big data. However, the use of instructional technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and mind mapping to teach these subjects is limited. This study introduces an innovative pedagogical model…

The empirical evidence regarding the acceptance and use of hybrid education and online instructional technologies in mandatory educational contexts remains limited. Specifically, studies addressing instructors' acceptance and usage of these technologies in the context of hybrid education are even scarcer. This study aims to fill this gap by…

Analytical thinking skills were an essential learning process for primary students. The research objectives were to 1) study the current condition, problems, and good practices regarding teaching and learning. 2) develop a blended instructional model using the inquiry process with digital games to enhance analytical thinking skills for elementary…

Improving academic performance and achievement requires educational systems to adopt inclusive learning practices that recognize and accommodate the diverse needs of all students. Inclusive education emphasizes equitable access to learning opportunities, tailored instructional methods, and supportive environments that value each learner's…
