The use of two-dimensional images to teach students about three-dimensional molecules continues to be a prevalent issue in many classrooms. As affordable visualization technologies continue to advance, there has been an increasing interest to utilize novel technology, such as augmented reality (AR), in the development of molecular visualization…

With the advances in technology, the skill of writing has taken on a new form with digital tools. Concepts like digital literacy, digital writing, electronic writing, web-based writing, online writing, and multimodal texts have become increasingly common. Hence, integrating technology into writing education in schools today has gained…

The smartphones we use in every aspect of our lives can be accessed anywhere without the limitation of physical space. This situation has led to excessive use of smartphones. Individuals, when unable to access their smartphones, experience anxiety and distress, revealing their nomophobic tendencies. Additionally, the availability of internet…

The purpose of this systematic review was three-fold: (a) to convey technology-assisted language learning (TALL) affordances that facilitate catering to the nonlinearity and dynamicity of the second language (L2) motivational factors, (b) to identify TALL challenges that inhibit the integration of educational technologies to enhance L2 motivation…

Smart learning environments provide students with opportunities to engage in self-regulated learning (SRL). However, little research has examined how teachers leverage these opportunities. We employed a multiple-case study methodology to examine the SRL supporting instructional practices of five third-grade teachers as they implemented a science…

Recently, audio-visual feedback produced through screencast technology has received increasing attention. Yet, as opposed to synchronous (immediate) and bi-directional (a two-way process) audio-visual feedback, most recent research has focused on asynchronous (delayed) and unidirectional (a one-way process) audio-visual feedback. Therefore, this…

Objectives: Athletics and sports represent a focal part of adolescence for millions of youth around the world. However, opportunities to engage in computer science (CS) learning experiences are less prevalent, particularly among Hispanic and low-income communities. Recently, researchers have explored ways to bridge these, seemingly, disparate…

The teaching of laboratory skills to undergraduate students is central to all experimental sciences. In this setting, students must understand the experimental procedures as well as the fundamental principle(s) being demonstrated, all while learning within a limited time. Other limiting factors include access to equipment and reagents, resulting…

This study examines how secondary-school students recognize and relate to artificial intelligence (AI) and the meanings they attribute to it in their everyday lives. Using a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional design, we explore the subjectivities of a purposive sample of 576 students from both public and private schools. The analysis…

This paper explores the integration of generative AI in the writing feedback process by trialling two highly scaffolded feedback tasks. This paper draws on recent literature to consider both the significant benefits AI integration may afford the language learner, as well as negative effects. Two tasks trialled at UNSW College: (1) an AI-enhanced…

Many aspects of noticing in the classroom are tacitly understood by experienced educators. In this case study, we pair ecological and cognitive psychology with computer-augmented analysis of video data to try to better understand some of the tacit elements of educator noticing and decision-making. The ecological model of noticing views noticing as…

Engaging students and developing interest can be challenging--and not always successful on the first couple of tries. With the help of Elon University's Information Technology team, the Office of the Registrar created a technology solution to give faculty more data about the students registered for their classes in the upcoming term. Using…

Sinusoidal functions are difficult for students: Periodicity is a new concept, transferring information from the unit circle can be confusing, and computations with multiple solutions can be overwhelming. Many struggle with both the unfamiliar "waviness" of sinusoidal graphs and their transformations (translations, dilations, and…

In teaching digital artmaking in a public high school, a regular challenge faced by students and teachers is overcoming the ways that the software and hardware systems in the lab often fail to accommodate the learning needs of all students. The perceived immutability and infallibility of digital systems and the resultant tendencies of self-blame…

This research examines small group collaboration on the Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox, an interactive, real-time topographical simulator that provides a color layer of augmentation showing depths and height, contour lines, and hydrology vis-a-vis the terrain of sand in a box. Prior research has focused on AR Sandbox activity designs, outcome…
