Today's students are increasingly immersed in a landscape of screens and handheld digital devices through which a good deal of their interactions with the world around them are mediated. Physics educators, meanwhile, continue to rely on traditional human interactions with the physical world, such as sliding down a ramp or throwing a baseball, in…

A virtual catalytic reactor laboratory (VCRL) experiment, which can be used in most browsers, is described. Students select feed conditions and use the VCRL to take data for a gas-phase catalytic reaction and fit kinetic parameters to a Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate expression. The VCRL contains instructions, equipment descriptions, an animated…

The purpose of this study was to analyze how the systematic use of GeoGebra influences the ways of reasoning of high school students when they incorporate it in the resolution of word problems. The study was carried out with a group of 20 students who were studying Mathematics I. The results show that the students appropriated resources from the…

Purpose: The internet and search engines dominate within people's information acquisition, especially among the younger generations. Given this trend, this study aims to explore if information and communication technology (ICT) practices, internet reliance and views of knowledge and knowing, i.e. epistemic beliefs, interact with each other.…

The current study addressed the impact of computerized dynamic assessment (C-DA) on the TOEFL "i"BT listening comprehension test administered to Iranian EFL learners (n = 185) who took part in preparation courses on the TOEFL exam in some language centres in Iran. To mediate the test-takers with hints to process the listening questions,…

This mixed-methods case study aimed to explore absenteeism and attendance expectations in Caufield, a pseudonym for a New England school district that facilitated an overnight one-to-one technology distribution in response to COVID-19. The sample consisted of one middle school in a four-school district in Connecticut. This research study sought to…

Number sense is the basis of arithmetic and algebra, but counting dominates instruction, and fine-grained explorations of what children "do" as they develop number sense are relatively rare. Conceptually congruent actions that align with the mathematics support learning, and multitouch technology can afford using these actions while…

Throughout the decade of 2010-2020, the widespread use of mobile devices of any type (smartphones, tablets) has encouraged and strengthened their use in different learning processes and in different ways. Latest improvements in devices' processing power, in storage capacity, in memory allocation, in wireless connectivity, in GPS and in Bluetooth…

Background: Traditional survey efforts to gather outcome data at scale have significant limitations, including cost, time, and respondent burden. This pilot study explored new and innovative large-scale methods of collecting and validating data from publicly available sources. Taking advantage of emerging data science techniques, we leverage…

This paper explores the effective development and use of interactive simulations as a learning tool, integrating didactic and active approaches with complex laboratory and lecture content in undergraduate biochemistry and immunology courses. University science courses require students to master vast quantities of foundational knowledge that is…

This study aims to explore the perspectives of gifted students on augmented reality, one of the innovative possibilities offered by instructional technologies. Action research involved 40 gifted students aged 10-11, enrolled in a Science and Art Center (SAC). Over the course of five weeks, the study focused on teaching various topics related to…

The use of digital technologies in teaching and learning processes has opened new and wide frontiers in mathematics education. Research in education moves towards teaching and learning (and assessing) twenty-first-century skills and computer-based testing seems an interesting possibility for assessing such skills. From this perspective, comparing…

This article explores the integration of "synthography" in the context of a class in the Degree in Photography, as a strategy to explore artistic and professional practices in the digital transformation era, problematizing the pedagogical implications of using artificial intelligence (AI) in creative disciplines. The study revolves…

During COVID-19 lockdowns, Vietnamese universities, like elsewhere, were compelled by social distancing rules to transition from on-site to online education, including examinations. However, many of these universities were not prepared for such sudden and drastic changes. This situation raises questions about if and how the students' cheating…

As technology and education intersect, the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance learning and engagement via chatbots is notable and has been widely acclaimed, though with mixed reports. This study thus investigates AI chatbots' effectiveness in enhancing learning outcome and engagement, using a quasi-experimental design with three…
