At the end of the 2000's, MOOCs broke into the educational field with the promise of learning with features more suited to the demands of our times. Their connectivist genesis provided a provocative expectation regarding the potential of collaboration, sharing, reuse, and free access, as factors of a possible transformation of the current…

This study examined the effect of implementing personal devices into a fifth-grade mathematics classroom. Thirty-eight fifth graders participated in this eight-week project with a focus on six students to track their growth. During this study, students engaged in technology-based stations that pertained to our geometry unit and coordinate unit.…

For the past two decades, there has been persistent debate around whether there is a difference between the fields of instructional design (ID) and learning design (LD). While differences in the two approaches are certainly apparent, there are cross-over points that can provide ID and LD researchers and practitioners with opportunities for…

Improving educational practice through reflection is one important focus of teacher professional development approaches. However, such teacher reflection operates under practical classroom constraints that make it happen infrequently, including the reliance on disruptive peer/supervisor observations or recordings. This article describes three…

The learning process of constructing concepts in mathematics can be supported by visualization in graphical, numerical, and symbolic representations. However, previous research suggests that students have not fully taken advantage of the opportunities provided by these technologies. Two key factors, including mathematics conception and mathematics…

This paper initiates a discussion around the potential of Dynamic Measurement, an alternative approach to geometric measurement that focuses on how space is generated, and thus measured by the lower-dimensional objects that define it. I use data from a series of design experiments with fourth-grade students to illustrate some forms of reasoning…

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have widely been acknowledged as a unified platform to reduce the digital divide and make education accessible to all. It also enables students' access to professors and educational contents sans spatial and institutional barriers. Despite several benefits, MOOCs' adoption and completion rate remain…

The rapid advances of information and communication technology (ICT) have transformed teaching and learning in universities. This study therefore sort to establish antecedents of university lecturers' intention to adopt ICT adoption in Zimbabwean universities. It employed a quantitative approach which used a structured questionnaire on a sample of…

Purpose: This era is the time for upskilling and producing workforce that is capable of effectively dealing with the day-by-day increasing demand of the industry. As the world is changing, its needs are changing in the same way and at the same speed. The world has become more digitized now. Moreover, we have a dramatic shift from Education 1.0 to…

In this work we present the design of a computer-based environment aimed at engaging primary school children in argumentative practices while solving a story problem. Argumentation has been regarded from two points of view, both as a process and as a product. Students, using the collaborative tools offered by the platform, co-constructed shared…

Mathematics teacher educators can use video clips of children solving mathematics problems to help teacher candidates attend to nuanced aspects of teaching and learning mathematics. However, the process of selecting and using video clips to support teacher candidates' learning to teach mathematics is underexplored as are the ways in which…

For physical education (PE), the COVID-19 pandemic presents many challenges but also opportunities. As much of the teaching and learning in PE is based on interaction and collaboration, it has made it difficult to envisage how to approach teaching the subject. However, during the initial phase of lockdown teachers made increasing use of technology…

Coaching with embedded video-analysis is a method for providing teacher consultation services utilizing technology to record teaching sessions, watch and analyze recordings, identify a target area for improvement, and use the information gained to improve practice. As general education teachers' role in positive behavior interventions and supports…

Monoscopically projected three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology may have significant disadvantages for students with lower visual-spatial abilities despite its overall effectiveness in teaching anatomy. Previous research suggests that stereopsis may facilitate a better comprehension of anatomical knowledge. This study evaluated the…

A Mathematics Department Chair plays many roles within the department and within the university as a whole. Facilitating the development and teaching of mathematics services courses requires working with mathematics faculty as well as members of other departments on campus. In this paper, we discuss many issues related to the Department Chair's…
