TPACK development for prospective mathematics teacher students is a crucial aspect in preparing educators who are able to integrate technology effectively in the learning process. This study aims to examine the development of TPACK for prospective mathematics teacher students and the most effective form of TPACK development for prospective…

Background/purpose: The study responds to persistent ergonomic, spatial, and instructional challenges in technical-vocational education, particularly within TESDA-accredited programs such as Animation NC II, Illustration NC II, Technical Drafting NC II, and Visual Graphic Design NC III. Traditional tools used in these programs are often bulky,…

This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) regarding the use of smartphones in Physics Teaching. After the selection of Brazilian journals on Physics Teaching and Science Teaching with high CAPES Qualis in the four-year period 2017-2020, the initial search yielded 278 articles, which were subsequently filtered down to 51 open-access…

The potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to support teachers in providing a more equitable, inclusive, comprehensive, rigorous advanced academics cannot be ignored. GenAI alone is not enough to sustain learning, but when it is guided by a human teacher who knows each student's learning profiles, then realization of potential…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technology is transforming how we live, work, and learn, and the U.S. education sector faces unique challenges in keeping pace. While businesses are using artificial intelligence (AI) to increase efficiencies and scientists are using it to accelerate discovery, the value proposition for K-12 education is…

The development of explanations for scientific phenomena is crucial in science assessment. However, the scoring of students' written explanations is a challenging and resource-intensive process. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated the potential to address these challenges, particularly when the explanations are written in English, an…

Mathematics teachers' professional learning is moving away from prescriptive professional development (PD) toward collaborative, practice-based models--such as video-clubs and lesson co-design--which provide teachers with space and time to discuss problems of practice among peers. Some models, which we term "process-oriented",…

Background: Previous studies have indicated that encouraging learners to teach to their peers has been proven effective in second language learning. However, to date, no research has focused on how learners teaching to peers of varying proficiency levels impacts video learning performance and the cognitive neuroscience mechanisms of learners.…

ChatGPT has emerged as a popular choice in education that has transformed the experience for both teachers and students. This study investigates the performance of ChatGPT in aiding learning in the biochemistry classroom in two ways. We sought to determine how effective ChatGPT 3.5 was in generating study materials for an introductory biochemistry…

Background: Learner-generated digital media has gained significant attention as a supplementary learning tool. However, a need exists for empirical research to discern among various learner-generated digital media formats. One potential area of divergence lies in the arousal levels evoked during media creation due to varying emphasis on the…

This research aims to conduct a systematic and rigorous review of published articles on how the diagnosis and the design of micro-courses can enhance teachers' digital competence in universities and higher education institutions. The objective is to synthesize existing evidence on training strategies for Teacher Digital Competence in higher…

Visual storytelling is a widely practiced educational activity that encourages children's verbal and figural creative expression through both narrative and drawing. This study investigated how transforming children's drawings into multimedia formats--by adding sound effects, animated presentation, or a combination of both--impacted children's…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a powerful tool with the potential to enhance learning environments. However, effective use of new technologies in education requires a good understanding of the technology and good design for its use. Generative AI such as ChatGPT requires particularly well-designed instructions due to its ease…

This poetic inquiry integrated a Black Educational Studies perspective on the relationship between digital community platform design conditions and forms of collegiality, mutuality, and solidarity that advance a humanizing praxis for educators. The authors contextualized this pursuit in the urgency of the current moment when coordinated fascist…

This paper addresses the pressing challenges and uncertainties faced by higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide. It analyzes recent global disruptions--including economic instability, evolving labor market demands, the impacts of the pandemic, and rapid technological advancements--and assesses their effects on traditional educational…
