To be an effective teacher, one must possess strong learning abilities. Developing lesson planning, pursuing learning objectives, and assessing post-lesson accomplishments all these depend on reflection and ongoing learning. As education is context-specific, the iterative process of preparing, reflecting, and improving is what makes teaching…

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether the use of the EmoMusic dataset could enhance first-year students' emotional and musical creativity. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 128 students. Participants were randomly assigned either to a control group that continued traditional vocal training or to an experimental group…

Reflective writing is known as a useful method in learning sciences to improve the metacognitive skills of students. However, students struggle to structure their reflections properly, limiting the possible learning gains. Previous works in educational technologies literature have explored the paradigms of learning from worked and modelling…

This study examines educators' perceptions of adopting Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools in education through the lens of the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) on data collected from 490 participants, the research investigates: (a) the extent to which…

This study examines the impact of Nearpod on students' motivation and learning outcomes about minerals. The study adopted a quantitative method; a pre-experimental design type of one-group pretest-posttest design, whereby one group of grade 10 students (n=24) was taken as a sample. An observation tool was used to study students' motivational…

The integration of Information Technology (IT) in administrative settings has significantly enhanced management efficiency, minimized paperwork, and facilitated faster and more accurate service delivery. Despite these benefits, many administrative officers in higher education institutions still underutilize or neglect the adoption of networking…

The AI-generated inspirational images provided a new pathway for design learners to obtain inspiration, but previous research had overlooked the impact of the emotional valence and arousal of AI-generated images on design creativity. This study investigated the effects of emotional valence and arousal of AI-generated images on design creativity…

Key Findings: This study identifies a strong positive relationship between digital literacy and language proficiency, highlighting how technological competence enhances motivation, engagement and PL, leading to improved language learning outcomes. Purpose: This research explores the connection between digital literacy and language proficiency,…

The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) has transformed academic research, especially for graduate students, who are progressively depending on GAI for diverse research activities. However, despite its potential to revolutionize research practices, a critical gap remains in understanding the factors that influence…

Language teacher immunity, as a coping mechanism for managing professional tensions and stressors, has gained increasing relevance due to the growing integration of technology in the classroom, which presents teachers with new and complex challenges. This qualitative case study explores the impact of integrating technology tools on three…

We propose a novel method for automated short answer grading (ASAG) designed for practical use in real-world settings. The method combines LLM embedding similarity with a nonlinear regression function, enabling accurate prediction from a small number of expert-graded responses. In this use case, a grader manually assesses a few responses, while…

Numerous studies highlight that the high adoption rates of e-learning management systems (e-LMSs) are not necessarily matched by their actual use among students in sub-Saharan African higher education. Nevertheless, factors such as perceived behavioral control of e-LMS, teaching activities in e-LMS, administrative activities in e-LMS, and…

Online proctoring systems are employed to monitor students during exams, safeguarding assessment integrity when in-person observation is not feasible. The systems leverage advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and biometrics, to authenticate students and identify potential exam rule violations. However, concerns about data…

Many studies highlighted the importance of mathematical justification in problem-solving. This paper describes students' mathematical justifications for solving derivative problems collaboratively, especially before and after the use of technology was allowed. We asked two undergraduate students who were preservice mathematics teachers in a paired…

The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a growing subject in the technological field, especially when applied to benefit assembly tasks. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review to explore the benefits, challenges, methods and tools in the utilization of AR and AI to assembly tasks applications. The…
