Although digital personalized learning (DPL) is assumed to be beneficial for the student as well as the teacher, the implementation process of DPL tools can be challenging. Therefore, the aim of our study is to scrutinize teachers' perceptions towards the implementation of DPL in the classroom. A total of 370 teachers from primary and secondary…

The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally altered the course of education and this is no more evident than in the world of Career and Technical Education (CTE). When the education world was thrust into the remote learning environment, CTE instructors were forced to discover ways to provide students in their programs with high-quality learning…

This study describes and provides preliminary support for the use of a culturally and linguistically adapted Strong Kids curriculum, delivered completely online, to address English language learners' (ELLs') social/emotional development. Quantitative data showed an increase in students' social/emotional knowledge in internalizing symptoms by the…

Many districts have adopted social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum that teachers must incorporate into their lessons. The purpose of this qualitative dissertation-in-practice was to explore teachers' perceptions of the quality of SEL program professional development (PD) for teachers at a small, rural West Texas high school. For this study,…

Purpose: This case study compares the actual and intended learning processes during the implementation of a science project through integrated STEM education as a learning approach. It also determines the implementation process's strengths and limitations. Method: The data collection method was mostly through classroom observation and document…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, global teachers gained extensive experiences with teaching online courses. To design quality online courses in the post-pandemic era, the impact of the latest technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), must be considered. Investigating how teachers incorporate AI-powered tools and how students perceive learning…

Based on a content analysis of teachers' interviews referring to their pedagogical…

This study investigated the teaching experiences of three school personnel at a public high school during the 2020-2021 school year as they implemented a unique science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) unit with in-person and virtual students in their engineering classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. A research team interviewed two…

The push toward digital curricula has quickened with the COVID-19 pandemic leading to concerns about how digital curricula programs are selected. Research indicates selection of curricula plays a primary role in student achievement. State curriculum leaders were surveyed about how they are involved in selecting PK-8 mathematics digital curricula.…

Teachers and students had to use distance education environments due to the COVID-19 pandemic that suddenly emerged globally. This research aims at obtaining the views of gifted students who took the differentiated science curriculum (DSC) and teachers who conducted the DSC on the distance education process. The research was designed as a case…
