This qualitative case study aimed to explore how novice instructional designers solved a real-world problem by proposing an instructional design model in Second Life. Twenty-one novice instructional designers who enrolled in a Distance Education course were tasked with proposing an instructional design model to solve the high drop-out rate problem…

The purpose of this study is to assess the fraction addition problems posed by pre-service teachers using digital storytelling and to identify their perspectives on this activity. 69 mathematics teacher candidates participated in the study. The research comprises two sections. Participants were expected to pose a problem via digital storytelling…

Successful problem solving begins with constructing mental problem representations and the identification of problem characteristics to clarify the solution. The purpose of the current study is to examine the design principles of learning supports promoting mental problem representation in the math problem solving setting. We investigated the…

Intercreativity is a phenomenon with significant social, cultural and educational implications in the postdigital era. Its meaning refers to the fact of solving problems and making a collective production. However--in a historical and philosophical context that has led to the rise and importance of knowledge production--intercreativity is a…

Play is crucial to children's development. With the prevalent use of digital technologies, children and young adults are seen playing games more often and longer on digital devices. How should teachers capitalize the advantages of games in class, without inducing more health risks or problems for children? To achieve this goal, teachers need…

The 3D game development process is significant in improving knowledge and skills, such as literacy of information technologies, computational, analytical, and algorithmic thinking, programming, and spatial abilities. Besides, the 3D game development is a difficult and complex learning process. Within this context, it was decided that teaching…

In professional training courses, developing incumbents' professional knowledge and problem-solving skills when facing clinical and urgent situations is a crucial point. In conventional professional training, usually the learning content is delivered in a lecture-based mode using instructional videos with some case studies. In such a training…

Technological mediums such as dynamic environments with drag-and-drop features have been considered promising agents in helping students explore and generate conjectures about mathematical concepts. This study investigated the dragging modalities sixth and seventh-grade students use in solving proportional problems in a dynamic geometry…

Previous research suggests that there should be a correlation between computational thinking and traditional cognitive and motor skills. At present, academia either considers cognitive skills a part of computational thinking, or investigates the correlation between computational thinking and cognitive skills. Current research on computational…

In this paper, we present an agenda for the research directions we recommend in addressing the issues of realizing and evaluating communication in CPS instruments. We outline our ideas on potential ways to improve: (1) generalizability in Human-Human assessment tools and ecological validity in Human-Agent ones; (2) flexible and convenient use of…

Visual analytics (VA) technology has become a significant tool for business decision-makers to explore novel insights. One of its key features is analytical reasoning through interactive visualization that users have direct sensemaking in problem-solving processes. Few studies have examined how VA can be applied in business education for improving…

In modern society technology is widely used and, with the digitization of many services, this is an upward trend. Therefore, computational thinking (CT) is an increasingly important concept; an aspect that is being reflected on educational policies and the extracurricular offer of different countries. This study aims to look at the efficacy of…

The flipped classroom approach has become one of the renowned instructional approaches in recent years. However, without proper educational tools to support students when they participate in classroom learning, their learning performances may not be as good as expected. In this study, a collective problem-solving promotion mechanism is proposed to…

Computational thinking is an important skill in computer science since the 1960s, and it is closely related to problem solving. Almost all research related to computational thinking mentions problem solving. Although some research has been conducted on computational thinking, few studies examined the impact of personal traits on students'…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) has been widely used in K-12, higher education, and informal learning to enhance the quality of student learning. Understanding the relationship between learning engagement and group performance is crucial for CPS pedagogy and analytics. However, few empirical studies investigated individual engagement role…
