Many interventions that "work" in small-scale trials often fail at scale, highlighting the centrality of effective scaling for realizing the promise of evidence-based policy. We study the scaling of a personalized adaptive learning (PAL) software that was highly effective in a small-scale trial. We adapt the PAL implementation for…

The research objectives were to: 1) develop online lessons on ideological and political theory courses to quality, 2) compare the pre-test and post-test scores of students after learning an online lesson on ideological and political theory courses, and 3) study the satisfaction of students who learned an online lesson on ideological and political…

Background/purpose: Empirical data consistently demonstrate that social sciences education suffers from suboptimal learning outcomes, primarily due to overcrowded curricula and students' struggle to connect abstract theoretical concepts with real-world applications. Therefore, learning that implements technology to assist students in comprehending…

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education spans all levels, from preschool to postgraduate studies, fostering growth in social, cognitive, and psychomotor skills. In Ethiopia, the aim of STEM education is to cultivate engineers and scientists who can drive economic competitiveness on a global scale. Understanding and…

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in engineering education has significantly transformed the learning process, particularly in developing technical writing skills. This study investigates how specific ICT tools such as Grammarly, Turnitin, Google Docs, and Moodle enhance technical writing proficiency among…

Students' perception of excessive difficulty in STEM degrees lowers their motivation and, therefore, affects their performance. According to prior research, the use of gamification techniques promote engagement, motivation, and fun when learning. Badges, which are a distinction that is given as a reward to students, are a well-known gamification…

Background/purpose. The increasing prevalence of digital tools in education necessitates models that enhance students' metacognitive skills. Despite this need, limited research exists on structured pedagogical approaches to foster metacognition within digital learning contexts. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the Cognitive Innovation…

With the increased use of technology in the world today, the realm of education has not been immune. Schools around the country have implemented expensive one-to-one device programs with little research-based evidence that they are beneficial for student achievement. With an increased focus on student achievement for federal and state…

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…

This study investigated the effectiveness of interactive videos on English language achievement and attitudes among Turkish secondary school students. While interactive videos have shown promise in language education, empirical evidence regarding their impact on secondary school students' achievement and attitudes remains limited. Using a…

As digital technologies evolve, traditional teaching methods in design and art education are increasingly insufficient to meet students' learning needs. While Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has introduced transformative applications in education, its impact on design and art curricula remains underexplored. To address this gap, this…

Technology has become an integral part of the teaching and learning process in the current educational landscape, revolutionizing students' learning experiences in alternative and traditional educational settings. However, despite having access to various tech tools that support student learning, an achievement gap still exists, and many students…

Use of digital learning tools (DLTs) in classrooms has markedly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Concerns exist that some DLTs were integrated without careful consideration of their impacts on student motivation to learn and/or academic achievement. Moreover, differences in student demographic profiles and the learning environment may…

This study evaluates the impact of a program leveraging large language models for virtual tutoring in secondary education in Nigeria. Using a randomized controlled trial, the program deployed Microsoft Copilot (powered by GPT-4) to support first-year senior secondary students in English language learning over six weeks. The intervention…

With the increasing use of virtual reality (VR) technology in education, it is crucial to understand the factors that affect its effectiveness. One area where VR has been utilized is in online orientation, which can be especially beneficial for distant students to start their university programs. This study examines the impact of the learner…
