Supporting learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) processes and skills is crucial for effective learning, especially in online learning environments. In recent years, research on SRL and how it can be supported by technology has proliferated, resulting in many systematic reviews. The aims of this umbrella review are to provide orientation in a…

This study investigated the impact of online peer and teacher feedback on students' self-regulated learning and analysed students' perceptions of online peer feedback on self-regulated learning development. The study employed a mixed method by collecting quantitative and qualitative data together. The study comprised 45 pre-service English as a…

Significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have led to the development of Google Gemini, which can be used to provide automated writing assistance. Within higher education, this feature extends to research writing. However, skepticism is particularly evident as students, teachers, and researchers in universities explore…

Digital formative assessment tools have been identified as a promising support for mathematics teachers' practices of monitoring and enhancing students' understanding. However, more research is required to align these support affordances better with teachers' practices. In a qualitative expert-novice comparison, we investigated how expert and…

The impact of evolving technologies, including in education, has prompted researchers to enhance the educational process through flow experience in technology-enhanced learning environments in Informatics in Education. This study investigates the effects of a gamified educational environment with competition and collaboration elements on students'…

As Virtual Reality (VR) gains traction in education, its potential to support neurodivergent learners in cybersecurity training remains underexplored. This emerging technology report examines how VR can bridge the gap between STEM education and cybersecurity training for neurodivergent individuals, highlighting both its promise and the challenges…

The usage of digital media, especially tablet apps, is currently a major concern in educational settings. A controversial discussion is also taking place in relation to mathematics education at primary schools. While on the one hand there are empirical findings on helpful isolated examples and related subject-didactic potentials of digital media,…

This paper introduces, explains and illustrates real-life application of virtual training tool for electrical engineering education. The tool gives users the opportunity to interact with and manipulate 3D models of authentic devices. The users have a possibility to compare structural differences between devices, assemble and disassemble the…

Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) provide a rich and immersive context for introducing inquiry-based and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) into science classrooms. MUVES can have a significant effect on learning outcomes, however, illuminating how particular design features interact with those outcomes is an important area of investigation for…

Active learning strategies increase student engagement and performances, however, there is student resistance toward such instructional interventions. To overcome student resistance groupwork can be useful. In addition, digital technology can be used to re-design courses to add active learning techniques and support learning "with" and…

Researchers suggest that solving ill-structured problems using project-based learning approaches is one way to engender STEM learning outcomes. However, project based learning poses unique challenges in practice, including the translation of technical information, design of scenarios, facilitation of instruction, and management of student…

The purpose of this research was to characterize the curation activity of preservice teachers practicing digital curation by constructing "knowledge exhibitions" in an academic course. Our database included 64 knowledge exhibitions on the Scoop.it platform. Factor analysis of curator's activities resulted in 3 factors, contributing…

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can create sophisticated textual and multimodal content readily available to students. Writing intensive courses and disciplines that use writing as a major form of assessment are significantly impacted by advancements in generative AI, as the technology has the potential to revolutionize how students write…

Addressing heterogeneity in the classroom by adapting instruction to learners' needs challenges teachers in their daily work. To provide adaptive instruction in the most flexible way, teachers face the problem of assessing students' individual characteristics (learning prerequisites and learning needs) and situational states (learning experiences…

This study compared physical and digital models of a scientific topic in order to determine representational competence, short- and long-term cognition, and the extent to which physical or digital interfaces enhance spatial ability. The DNA molecule was used as a representative spatial topic to investigate conceptual and spatial understanding.…
