Navigating indoors without a map can be challenging, especially for visually impaired individuals in unfamiliar settings. Many existing indoor navigation methods rely on building maps, pre-deployed infrastructure (like BLE beacons or RFID), or visual-based systems that require a clear line of sight to a camera. These requirements can make…

Nine higher education institutional administrators who embraced and supported OER (Open Educational Resources) implementation on their campuses were interviewed. As a generic, qualitative, inductive study, the goal of the research was to uncover what motivated them to lend their time and energy to such an initiative; how they perceived the value…

There are too few teachers and schools to meet the need for quality universal basic education. Therefore, alternative approaches to education provision need to be explored, such as open and distance learning methods and development and provision of curriculum-based Open Educational Resources (OER). However, distribution of printed materials is…

This reflective essay offers several practical suggestions for scholars and professionals who are looking for ways to sustain abundant personal and professional lives in a discipline that encourages workaholic tendencies and requires many to engage in hybrid working arrangements. We discuss the tensions experienced by many communication…

As the world is increasingly infused with artificial intelligence (AI), school teachers are beginning to acquire AI literacy and to integrate AI-related content into their teaching practices. However, research on teachers' AI competencies is still in its early stage, leaving many gaps yet to be explored. This study engaged 364 Chinese practicing…

As Internet technology evolves, distance learning emerges as a pivotal mode of education. In music education, vocal teaching faces limitations in traditional face-to-face methods. This paper explores the advantages of Internet-based remote vocal music teaching and proposes a new mode leveraging an online platform, multimedia technology, and…

The current study was designed within a survey-based quantitative research methodology in order to investigate Bulgarian teachers' familiarity with, use of, and attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) at the nascent stage of its integration into the Bulgarian education system. The survey was completed by 2252 teachers, of whom 16.30% were…

Many instructional videos in mathematics education target knowledge of procedures and algorithms. To design instructional videos that support students in a non-algorithmic domain, such as mathematical modeling, we developed a framework based on research on heuristic worked examples and instructional videos. Because students' perceptions play an…

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily lives is undeniable. From AI-powered email assistants like Duet AI in Gmail to the ever-present ChatGPT and other generative AI products, AI has become an integral part of our educational and professional environments. Consequently,…

In our increasingly digitized society, where technology use is ubiquitous, nearly all activities require access to and proficiency using digital tools. Proficient internet use may lead to the pursuit of higher education, launching a fulfilling career, or part of habits and healthy lifestyles where education is lifelong and life-wide. This study…

Nested in the socio-cultural theory and the related concepts of dialogue in thinking (Mercer & Littleton, 2007) and dialogic teaching in classrooms (Mercer & Howe, 2012), this study explored knowledge and technology as dynamic meaning-making processes in Norwegian early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. Group-reflections from…

This paper reports the results of a study conducted in an elementary education mathematics methods course aimed at increasing elementary preservice teachers' (EPTs) level of professional noticing. Weekly reflections conducted by EPTs from tutoring sessions were video recorded and scored using the Framework for Learning to Notice Student…

While Indigenous knowledges have long recognised forests as sentient and caring societies, western sciences have only acknowledged that trees communicate, learn and care for one another in recent years. These different ways of coming to know and engage with trees as sentient agents are further complicated by the introduction of digital…

Purpose: The study aims to identify the status quo of artificial intelligence in entrepreneurship education with a view to identifying potential research gaps, especially in the adoption of certain intelligent technologies and pedagogical designs applied in this domain. Design/methodology/approach: A scoping review was conducted using six…

Purpose: The current standard for clinical diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is expert clinician judgment. The psychometric properties of this standard are not well understood; however, they are important for improving clinical diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which experts agree on the clinical…
