Constructivist learning theories have emphasized learners' interactions with the environment, which includes their peers. Therefore, student cooperation/collaboration has been considered crucial in science education. However, although there have been many science cooperative/collaborative learning (CCL) studies reported in Korea, there has been a…

Background: The use of digital technology in physical education (PE) is widely debated. PE is influenced by children's everyday lives and by changes in society, including the powerful presence of digital technology. However, there is little research on using digital technology in the context of invasion games in primary school PE. The possibility…

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic along with the gradually changing educational trends facilitate the transformation from traditional learning methods to digital learning methods. Besides, student satisfaction is vital in remote education course evaluations because it is associated with the quality of online programs. Recently, the EduNext…

The study explored the influence of technology on science teachers' PCK and the benefits of that knowledge component on classroom practices. The study relied on science teachers teaching the various science subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Integrated Science and Physics in Tamale Metropolis, Ghana. Sequential explanatory research design was…

In today's era, the ability to create and utilize digital games in the classroom is of great importance, for both teachers and students. Yet traditional teaching methods often lack the implementation of games in general, and of digital games in particular. This study presents a unique constructivist framework for creating and integrating…

This qualitative study investigated the professional development needs of lecturers who are transiting to a technology-mediated environment following advancements in technology. This research work was conducted to address the increasing use of digital tools and platforms in education, shed light on the challenges that lecturers face when adopting…

The educational technology designer should know about the learning theories to analyze the needs and design the contents in terms of the target that aimed to reach from learning operations. Educational technology is known as a process that includes many factors, which will provide a good simulation for the students. This research study used a…

This article defines 27 criteria for evaluating the functionality of e-learning platforms, grouped into three macro groups: (a) learning management, (b) learning content management, and (c) communications and collaboration tools. The proposed criteria can be used to evaluate any e-learning platform's functionality. They allow teachers and…

Given that science and technology innovations are increasingly becoming important in the global economy market in the twenty-first century, many countries around the world put greater emphasis on producing students who have mastered knowledge of chemistry and who possess twenty-first century skills. However, chemistry is perceived as a difficult…

Research, primarily from pre-service teachers' perspectives, has found that teacher education programmes are not providing adequate preparation for constructivist pedagogy using information technology. This subject is pronounced in Ghana's teacher education programmes, where local research that investigates knowledge patterns in technology…

Increased interest in music technology education in recent years has prompted music teachers, technology educators and theorists to reconsider both the human and technical processes rendered by creative work in digital sound media. Music technology learning environments range from more structured classroom learning to informal, autodidactic…

Pedagogical beliefs are a critical factor in terms of integrating technology into teaching, but very few technology acceptance models (TAMs) have considered them. Hence, this study aims to extend the TAM by incorporating pre-service teachers' conception of teaching and learning. The revised model examined the influence of pre-service mathematics…

Background: Recent studies have highlighted the application of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) knowledge into daily life via hands-on practical works. The limitations of the existing conventional laboratory work can be potentially overcome by the implementation of the innovative use of smartphones as an experimental tool…

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has become an essential issue for schools facing major challenges such as bridging the knowledge-action-gap. Interactive simulations could help to focus on action-oriented learning. As part of a design-based research (DBR) process, we investigated the learning potential of game elements within a digital…

Drawing on historical epistemology and considerations on the function of scientific modelling, this article investigates how in the mid-twentieth century electronic and programmable animal models became tools for exploring the inaccessible ontology of the human mind. The article examines how machines have informed our understanding of the learning…
