Cognitive engagement is an essential component in student learning. With the increase of more asynchronous virtual educational tools in classrooms, there is a need to understand how students are engaging with classroom content in these formats. Several studies have examined student and teacher perceptions of cognitive engagement in virtual…

This research examines how flipped classroom (FC) instruction affects the academic results of university students throughout the Middle East. FC teaching pedagogy is one of the relatively new innovative teaching pedagogies that have benefited from the latest technological advancements and emerged as a potential replacement for traditional…

Due to the rapid emergence and use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) by English as a foreign language (EFL) students in higher education (HE), further research is required to understand English language teaching (ELT) teachers' training needs to effectively manage digitally enhanced teaching and learning. This study identifies…

This study advances an e-learning adoption model by exploring the link between Performance Expectancy (PE) and Behavioural Intention (BI) to adopt e-learning among undergraduate students in Kenya's public universities. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), data were collected from a sample of 388 respondents through…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the use of ChatGPT as a lesson-planning assistant with preservice teachers (PSTs) of secondary mathematics. PSTs asked ChatGPT to solve a mathematics problem and to assist with lesson planning in a microteaching context in a methods course. The PSTs first developed parts of their microteaching…

Purpose: Challenges in teaching the engineering design process (EDP) at the high-school level, such as promoting good documentation practices, are well-documented. While developments in educational artificial intelligence (AI) systems have the potential to assist in addressing these challenges, the open-ended nature of the EDP leads to challenges…

This study examined the ecological challenges teachers faced in integrating Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) among 159 in-service Hong Kong EFL teachers from 2019 to 2024. Analysis of 470 entries revealed that 50% of the challenges stem from "exo-system factors" (e.g., heavy workloads), 23% were from "macro-system…

Virtual Reality (VR) provides an immersive learning (IL) experience by simulating real-world scenarios that bridge the gap between theory and application. VR simulations are interactive and enhance student engagement across a range of concepts, from simple to complex. India and Russia share similar cultural and historical backgrounds, and both are…

Theoretical background: Research in social virtual reality (VR) suggests that avatar customization may enhance user engagement, embodiment, and perspective-taking through increased identification and presence. These processes are considered crucial for experiential learning and the development of interpersonal competencies in simulated…

This paper presents the conceptual design of a simulation-based training system that supports pre-service teachers in developing discourse competence for facilitating accountable classroom talk on socio-scientific issues (SSI). The system is grounded in research on dialogic teaching, conceptual change, teacher reflection, and the TPACK framework.…

Generative AI technologies are rapidly transforming educational practices, creating both opportunities and challenges for teacher-preparation programs. As these advanced tools become increasingly prevalent in classrooms, understanding the factors that influence pre-service teachers' acceptance and adoption of such technologies has become…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into nursing education is essential for equipping future nurses with the skills required to navigate an increasingly technology-driven healthcare environment. This study aimed to validate the Arabic version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT-2012) model in assessing…

An investigation into the use of virtual reality for educational use was conducted at a London art gallery and university, exploring a new approach to a learning environment. A viewing of an Impressionist landscape painting was also experienced as a 3D virtual reality experience. The intention was to consider if this immersive experience could…

Background: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others (LGBTQ+) students experience more negative sexual health outcomes than their cisgender, heterosexual peers and do not have access to relevant sex education. This denial necessitates comprehensive sex education in college for LGBTQ+ students. Objective: Given the rise of online…

The rapid advancement of technology has presented marginalized communities in libraries with numerous privacy and security challenges. Many researchers have emphasized the importance of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs), suggesting that these technical solutions can effectively assist users in safeguarding their personally identifiable…
