Over the past decade, a large number of literature reviews have explored the effectiveness of virtual reality technology as applied to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but there has been a lack of scope focus on different types of virtual reality systems in assessment and intervention for children aged 3-12 years and a lack of…

This research examines Hungarian pre-service teachers' attitudes toward gamified education (n = 29) and investigates the effects of a gamified course on these attitudes using a quasi-experimental research design. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study gathers data through questionnaires, metaphor analysis, focus group interviews,…

Background/Context: Technology in education has become a vital part of modern education systems (Turugare & Rudhumbu, 2020, Osterweil et. al, 2015; Ghory & Ghafory, 2021). Over the past two decades, it has transformed the way we teach, learn, and assess knowledge (U.S. Department of Education Office of Educational Technology, 2017; Partala…

Objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, college students were navigating confusing and often conflicting information on social media. Media literacy can help people interpret information online. We developed and tested a text-message media literacy intervention designed for college students. Participants: 267 U.S. college students from a…

Both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology have shown potential for the instruction of people on the autism spectrum by simulating real-world experiences in a safe and controlled environment. However, numerous reports indicate that this type of research has included few participants with intellectual disability (ID). The…

Despite the wide usage of technology in educational settings, the overall evidence base of technology-aided reading interventions for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has not been fully investigated. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to quantify the effects of technology-aided reading interventions for students with ASD and…

Conversational skills, which are essential for effective social interactions and typically pose difficulties for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), include abilities such as initiating topics, engaging in back-and-forth dialog, and responding to conversational cues. Chatbots have been used in mental health fields, and the development…

Children with intellectual disabilities often find acquiring age-appropriate reading skills difficult. We evaluated the impact of a structured online reading intervention on the reading skills of children aged 5-11 years in special educational needs (SEN) schools in England. A two-armed cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) compared…

In this study, we examined the long-term effects of ASSISTments, an educational technology platform that enables formative assessment. The intervention was implemented in schools in one U.S. state for 12-13-year-old students (7th grade). Students' math achievement was measured at the end of the following school year (8th grade, ages 13-14 years),…

The generalisation of learning is one of the main elements to take into account when carrying out an educational intervention. This process involves certain difficulties for the population with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this sense, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the process of generalisation of skills related to the social…

Objective: This study evaluates Drunken Rewind, an animated digital media campaign designed to reduce binge drinking. Participants: The campaign was targeted to white males aged 18-34, who are at the highest risk of binge drinking. Methods: The intervention consisted of an animated series that merged health communications approaches with marketing…

Research has established that the proper use of technology in the classroom can promote and improve students' skill levels and knowledge base. Also, certain factors either enhance or impede the successful integration of technology in students' learning environments. Examples of these are efficiency of use, subject area, and teacher knowledge of…

Although early behavioral intervention is considered as empirically-supported for children with autism, estimating treatment prognosis is a challenge for practitioners. One potential solution is to use machine learning to guide the prediction of the response to intervention. Thus, our study compared five machine algorithms in estimating treatment…

Digital distractions can interfere with goal attainment and lead to undesirable habits that are hard to get red rid of. Various digital self-control interventions promise support to alleviate the negative impact of digital distractions. These interventions use different approaches, such as the blocking of apps and websites, goal setting, or…

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of technology-supported mathematical modeling method on the mathematical skills of a fourth-grade student with Mathematical Learning Disabilities. The study group consists of a fourth-grade student. It was discovered that the student lacked numerical and logical skills compared to other students.…
