This study aimed to utilise artificial intelligence (AI) tools to create animations to assess the impact of AI-created cartoons on vocabulary growth and motivation levels among learners. For this purpose, 80 Omani EFL learners with a pre-intermediate level of English proficiency were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group, each…

This paper mainly discusses the application of blending learning in animation teaching. Blending learning is a combination of traditional teaching mode and online teaching mode, which can provide students with more flexible and independent learning methods and improve teachers' teaching quality and teaching effect. This paper analyzes and…

Background/purpose: The integration of Artificial Intelligence across creative fields, including Eastern animation, has the potential to contribute significantly to not only the development of production and narratives but also to the achievement of educational objectives. This article examines the impact of AI on culture, symbolism, and values…

In this study we adopted the slowmation approach to investigate children's story comprehension ability and learning intentions. A digital system called Captube was designed to capture children's actions and present them in slowmation format at different speeds. A total of 317 children aged between 4 and 7 were invited to participate in this study.…

Background/purpose: This study explores the development and implementation of interactive animated e-books as a transformative digital learning tool. It analyzes their pedagogical and cognitive effects on learner participation and understanding. The study is oriented towards how multimedia integration, interactive storytelling, and adaptive…

In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of Web 2.0 animation tools for science education on 4th-graders' academic achievements and basic skills, as well as their attitudes and motivations towards science courses. The study was designed with pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental pattern. The sample consisted of 4th-grade…

Mobile devices have been utilized as an emerging learning tool in the 21st century to support the learning of chemistry. This study aimed to identify matriculation students' learning experience with regards to the use of mobile devices for learning chemistry. The study employed a qualitative case study approach, which was carried out in a…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of digital storytelling activities on the student engagement and writing self-efficacy levels of pre-service teachers. The participants of the study are 64 pre-service teachers who are sophomores in the department of Literacy Education in the school of education during the 2015-2016 academic…

Every student must have and develop spatial abilities to be successful in learning geometry. The rapid development of technology also allows teachers to use Macromedia Flash as an alternative in developing and improving students' spatial abilities. This study aimed to determine and describe the improvement of the students' spatial ability after…

In an attempt to improve Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), prospective mathematics teachers (N=52) were trained in creating technology-based mathematics teaching materials. They learned visual programming, worked in pairs and created mathematics stories, which are intended to improve fourth grade students' mathematics word…

The basics of digital literacy begin to form at an early age, and as they grow older, digital literacy must continue to evolve, adapting to the rapidly changing digital world. The first (both in importance and in time) after the family cognitive social institution for most people is the educational system, or rather, the system of preschool…

The study provides an insight into how teachers may facilitate students' group learning in science with digital technology, which was examined when Norwegian lower secondary school students engaged in learning concepts of mitosis and meiosis. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the teacher's assistance draw on Galperin's conceptualisation of…

Despite the advancements in the production and accessibility of videos and animations, a gap exists between their potential for science teaching and their actual use in the classroom. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate an approach to boost chemistry and biology teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and their…

This empirical study investigated the manifestation of prosocial sharing behaviours and how this interplayed with preschool-aged children's Theory of Mind (ToM), described in cognitive science as one's ability to ascribe mental states to others and how the ascribed states are used to explain and predict the actions f others, when using media and…
