This study explored the impact of MetaClassroom, a virtual immersive programming learning environment designed based on the three-dimensional learning progression (3DLP) concept, on students' multidimensional development. Utilizing a quasi-experimental research design, this study compared students' programming learning achievements (PLA),…

DBL is a novel pedagogical approach intended to improve students' conditional knowledge and problem-solving skills by exposing them to a sequence of branching learning decisions. The DBL software provided students with ample opportunities to engage in the expert decision-making processes involved in complex problem-solving and to receive…

The global shortage of skilled programmers remains a persistent challenge. High dropout rates in introductory programming courses pose a significant obstacle to graduation. Previous studies highlighted learning difficulties in programming students, but their specific weaknesses remained unclear. This gap exists due to the predominant focus on the…

Virtual-reality business simulation games (VRBSGs) have garnered attention in management education. However, investigating the design of efficient VRBSGs from an integrated perspective of social cognitive, self-determination, and cognitive load theories is crucial but under-addressed. Therefore, this study developed a VRBSG learning system to…

As artificial intelligence reshapes many aspects of society and workforce, many colleges and universities have focused on developing technical AI programs within computer science departments. But preparing students and faculty for an AI-enabled future requires more than technical training--it demands a broader approach to AI literacy and…

Background: Given the limited availability of effective tools for Korean language learning among students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there is a need to explore innovative educational technologies to support the development of reading skills in Korean language education for this population. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to…

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of researchers' perspectives on AI integration across theoretical and practical research, academic publishing, and its future role, highlighting ethical considerations shaping its adoption. The methodology used a mixed approach, using a questionnaire distributed to researchers from various scientific…

Background/purpose: A significant challenge in teaching Arabic at the secondary level is developing pronunciation, fluency, and communication. Despite increased use of digital tools in instruction, a gap remains in understanding their effectiveness in improving Arabic speaking skills. This article aims to identify the types of digital teaching…

Language skills are crucial for deaf students as they facilitate communication, education, and social integration. Without adequate language proficiency, deaf students face difficulties in academic learning and personal development. This research explores how the Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) application model enhances the language skills of…

In recent years, immersive technology has become increasingly popular in educational settings. Its immersive characteristics enhance learning achievement, boost motivation, promote skills, and foster students' creativity. This meta-analysis synthesizes 19 researches published between 2012 and 2023 that examined the influence of immersive…

Little work has been done to investigate the implementation of innovative technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) and 3D printing, during English language arts instruction in juvenile detention facilities. This study explored how technology integration in restricted spaces can lead students to develop connections and empathy toward others. The…

In this evaluation study, we investigated the extent to which Solitaired.com's online game, Solitaire, could be used to model players' performance on several validated cognitive tests commonly associated with mental acuity (i.e., memory and processing speed). Prior research found that Solitaire gameplay is affected by mild cognitive impairment and…

As new technological developments continue to change the educational landscape, it is not an exception in the area of proof and proving. This classroom note introduces the use of one of the trending proofs assistants -- the Lean theorem prover. We first provide a technical account of Lean, then exemplify Lean proofs in propositional logic, number…

Virtual reality (VR) training programs have seen substantial growth due to their ability to improve trainee learning outcomes. Despite this, there is a noticeable gap in the availability of conceptual frameworks that incorporate social learning theories as a basis for creating VR-based safety training programs. This research aims to address this…

This study investigates students' perceptions of rehearsal (test preparation) and testing after the pandemic forced increased online teaching use and experimentation. Data was gathered from information and decision sciences (IDS) students in an underrepresented minority (URM) serving university. Responses from 136 participants were analyzed and…
