This randomized controlled trial assessed the comparative effectiveness of a biochemistry education program delivered through an immersive virtual reality (iVR) experience and traditional video-based instruction. Undergraduate students enrolled in three nutrition courses from a large R1 American university participated (n = 95). Students were…

In response to (1) studies finding that essay feedback generated by ChatGPT might be useful for student writers and (2) studies observing ChatGPT's tendency to adhere to narrow genre definitions when producing writing, our study seeks to examine whether ChatGPT can provide useful feedback in a first-year writing learning environment that targets a…

Background/purpose: This study examines the role of interactive boards--particularly the ViewSonic board--in enhancing learners' academic achievement at Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities by increasing engagement, deepening knowledge, and developing skills. Materials/methods: A descriptive-analytical approach synthesized findings from…

Technology has revolutionized education by completely changing the processes of acquiring and sharing information, which are the most important foundations of education. Technology has led to many significant changes, such as increased access and scope, personalized learning, improved interaction and collaboration, diversification of learning…

School principals play a key role in integrating schools into the digital age. Hence, this research aimed to evaluate education administrators' technological leadership competencies and their perceptions of the use of the metaverse in education. The study adopted a simultaneous parallel mixed method design. Survey modeling was used in the…

This study aims to describe the utilization of innovative media in learning to write poetry developed in the form of a mobile application. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method by adopting the R2D2 model, which focuses on three main stages: (a) determination, (b) design and development, and (c) dissemination. The…

The widespread use of e-learning systems in higher education highlights the necessity to understand the determinants of students' intention to utilize e-learning systems. This study builds upon the Expectation--Confirmation Model (ECM) by incorporating self-regulated learning (SRL) as a pivotal construct to underpin students' intention to utilize…

Authentic assessment is widely recognized as a valuable method that reflects real-world contexts, allowing students to apply their knowledge to practical challenges and prepare for their futures. Despite the pervasive influence of digital technologies in modern work and life, their role in authentic assessment--an approach centered on real-world…

Fractal Geometry (GF) comprises problems characterized by having particular geometric and analytical properties based on the concept of self-similarity. Fractals constitute a breaking point in relation to classical Geometry. In addition, many natural phenomena exhibit fractal features, leading to several useful practical applications. In spite of…

The aim of the current study is to develop a detailed understanding of how thirdgrade primary school students construct 3D printers in their minds based on their initial knowledge about 3D printers. This study, which was conducted with a phenomenological design, is one of the qualitative research methods. The participants of the study consisted of…

This study examined undergraduate students' use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) for research assignments and its intersection with traditional library databases. Semi-structured interviews with 16 students revealed GAI is primarily used for grammar, summarizing, brainstorming, and locating sources. While students value GAI for…

The development of large language models offers new possibilities for enhancing adaptive scaffolding of student learning in game-based learning environments. In this work, we present a novel framework for automatic plan generation that utilizes text-based representations of students' actions within a game-based learning environment, Crystal…

Previous research has extensively explored the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education. However, much of previous research has not differentiated between the environments where ICT is used, particularly in terms of its perceived usefulness in school versus at home. This gap in understanding the contextual…

With the rapid advancement of emerging technologies, an increasing number of studies are integrating technology into teacher professional development. This evolving trend, however, presents additional challenges for educators, particularly in the form of heightened technostress. Despite this, there is a noticeable gap in research investigating the…

Understanding students' multi-party epistemic and topic based-dialogue contributions, or how students present knowledge in group-based chat interactions during collaborative game-based learning, offers valuable insights into group dynamics and learning processes. However, manually annotating these contributions is labor-intensive and challenging.…
