This study introduces an evaluation benchmark for middle school algebra to be used in artificial intelligence (AI) based educational platforms. The goal is to support the design of AI systems that can enhance learners' conceptual understanding of algebra by taking into account learners' current level of algebra comprehension. The dataset comprises…

The research aims to study the state of the use of information technologies in the higher education system of Kyrgyzstan. Within the research framework, the authors studied strategic plans and programs aimed at creating an information society in Kyrgyzstan. The authors described the problems that have arisen as a result of the impact of digital…

The selection and application of learning strategies for college students is a hot topic in the field of education. However, there is no consensus on a universal learning strategy for most learners. The methods for discovering such a strategy are also unclear. This lack of agreement is largely due to the absence of unified measurement criteria and…

Higher education institutions increasingly promote course quality reviews (CQRs) to enhance the quality of online learning. However, limited research has examined the factors influencing faculty participation in these initiatives. This study used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework to inform faculty intentions to…

Emerging work around the globe has identified the impact of closing schools and moving education online during the COVID-19 pandemic has had, especially on children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Whilst research into this area is growing from both students' and parents' perspectives, there remains a need to explore how school leaders…

This discussion paper reflects on the affordances of face-to-face interaction and copresence in the light of increasingly digitized learning spaces in higher education. Especially in inequitable contexts, heightened dependence on digital platforms for teaching and learning can exacerbate inequalities in terms of student access and inclusion. This…

Background/purpose: This study addresses the growing gap in preparing pre-service teachers for immersive digital instruction, especially within metaverse environments. While many are familiar with digital platforms as learners, they often lack practical experience in managing and teaching in virtual settings. The purpose of this study is to…

Purpose: This study investigates how digital literacy, digital competence and work behavior influence online teaching productivity among educators in higher education. It aims to understand how these elements interact to enhance digital teaching effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach: A mixed-methods approach was employed. Quantitative data…

In the context of online and distance learning, active student engagement in online synchronous tutorials is important for students' development; yet it can be challenging to achieve. The research reported in this paper explored why some students do not participate actively in online synchronous tutorials, instead preferring passive participation.…

Despite its importance, research on the dynamic nature of student engagement and its relationship with academic success is limited. In this study, we investigate the consistency of student engagement and its relationship to academic achievement. We conduct an analysis of digital trace data on students' interaction with webinars. Specifically, we…

Innovation to support work-integrated learning (WIL) delivery in Australian higher education and other countries is becoming increasingly important due to the complexities associated with integrating work and learning in this context. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, complexities include the changing nature of work and challenges related to…

The proliferation of digital learning platforms has revolutionized the generation, accessibility, and dissemination of educational resources, fostered collaborative learning environments and producing vast amounts of interaction data. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing these complex datasets, uncovering…

The present study evaluated the validity of the Online Learner Satisfaction Instrument (OLSI) in terms of construct and convergent validity, and measurement invariance across demographic groups. The study results revealed that the factor structures generally confirmed to the original factor structure proposed in the instrument. Also, some…

Considering the pressing need for effective health education in primary schools, this systematic review rigorously evaluates various strategies designed to enhance students' health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy, challenges, and outcomes of health education programmes that…

Experiments are considered to be essential components of science learning. This research aimed to investigate trends in the use of science experiments in online learning. A systematic literature review was carried out, with data sourced from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The reviewed documents were journal articles published between…
