Online learning is emphasised in the 21st century curricula as one of the efficient instructional practices that improves the learning ownership of contemporary learners. A key factor in ensuring success in learners' online learning environments is the implementation of learner control. Learner control motivation is influenced by multiple…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the integration of goal-based scenario (GBS) approach into a block-based coding instruction. Scratch platform was used to find out the effects of GBSs on programming skills of students, who did not have any programming experience. GBSs were used during practice and the development in students'…

The use of a facilitator is a growing phenomenon in K-12 remote teaching contexts. The aim of this study is to analyse aspects of facilitating students' learning and interaction, with a special focus on the role of the facilitator. Frame factor theory was used as an analytical framework, including different educational conditions. The following…

The aim of this study is to investigate how students graphically represent qualitative and quantitative aspects of co-varying quantities in an embodied digital learning environment that provides feedback in the form of an animation showing what kind of motion their graph represents and how this feedback helped them to overcome typical graphing…

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on school education has been unprecedented, with widespread school closures and the need for education to be delivered remotely. By providing an overview of the continuity of learning and teaching during the 2019-2021 academic years, this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the impact of…

The growing significance of digital technologies in society creates a need to train teachers who can use these technologies in the educational process and prepare students for life in the digital world. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of digital technologies used in professional training of primary school teachers on increasing…

In the post-pandemic era, online learning has gained significant attention in K-12 schools (primary, secondary and high schools). A critical issue is the uncertain relationship between students' perception of the online learning environment, self-regulation, learning engagement and learning effects. There's also insufficient focus on differences…

Even though virtual labs help students learn science content, little is known about how well students can later apply this learning to other contexts or tasks when compared to students who performed physical labs. The goal of this study was to understand how students who perform physical versus virtual labs were able to later apply what they learn…

This study investigated (1) how students and their families' choices of learning modality differed by student demographics, (2) how much movement (i.e. learning modality changes) occurred during the pandemic school year, and (3) the mediating effect of movement on the relation between initial learning modality choices and students' mathematics…

We examine whether highlighting streaks--instances of repeated and consecutive behavior when completing learning tasks--encourages 4th to 6th grade students in Peru to increase their use of an online math platform and improve learning. 60,000 students were randomly assigned to receive messages that (i) highlighted streaks, (ii) provided…

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a mandatory shift from in-person instruction to online learning for many young children. Teachers needed to adjust to virtual teaching, children were isolated from their peers, and parents played a bigger role in learning during the pandemic. In 2021, the shift back to in-person learning occurred. Research has…

Schools abruptly ended face-to-face instruction in March 2020 and transitioned to emergency remote teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We surveyed teachers across the United States between March and April 2020 to understand their experiences during this time in our history (n = 249). Linear regression analysis was used to examine relationships…

The need for and frequency of providing literacy intervention to kindergarten through Grade 6 students in the form of tutoring online has grown. Concurrently, there is little guidance for literacy tutors navigating this novel format, helping to ensure their instruction is effective and equitable. Research studies indicate the efficacy of literacy…

Considerable research has been dedicated to studying teachers' digital competence, yet limited insights have been gained regarding its impact on online teacher autonomy support. Based on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, this study utilized a multiple regression analysis model to explore how teachers' digital…

Although the fields of educational data mining and learning analytics have grown significantly in terms of analytical sophistication and the breadth of applications, the impact on theory-building has been limited. To move these fields forward, studies should not only be driven by learning theories, but should also use analytics to in form and…
