While literature has discussed benefits and challenges of synchronous hybrid education, there is limited insight into how to tailor education activities to a hybrid setting. After distilling six principles from literature, the paper describes how a pilot conducted in the master Law & Technology at Tilburg Law School contributes to filling this…

Providing pre-training on new material can simplify complex content for learners who may need guidance to understand basic facts and organize their efforts. However, the effect of pre-training on learning outcomes is controversial because it tends to vary by context. Our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of pre-training in reducing…

Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is known to develop advanced cognitive skills, particularly in complex subjects like geography. However, integrating Spherical Video-Based Virtual Reality (SVVR) with IBL remains underexplored. This study proposed an SVVR-based IBL approach to enhance geography education for high school students in Thailand. A…

This study examines the impact of participation in AR integrated enrichment (GIFTLED Method) workshops and classroom implementations on teachers' competencies in differentiation practices and the use of Instructional Technologies (IT) in the STEAM education of gifted students. Focusing on the development of teachers' Gifted Technological…

Research has shown the negative impact of statistics anxiety on subsequent academic performance. Given that statistics competence is a core component of psychology at degree level across the UK, there is a clear need to explore alternative approaches to the teaching of such courses, such as via online delivery. The current paper reports on a study…

In this paper we discuss the types of knowledge used by six middle school students as they engaged with a debugging task designed to integrate ideas from computer science, mathematics and science. Our findings show that the computational thinking practice of debugging is a rich source of opportunities to integrate these different disciplines. The…

This research discuss and considers possible components in computer supported collaborative dynamic learning environment in mathematics classroom. The aim of the research is to observe the applicability of this environment to the courses and to determine its effect on student success. The research group consisted of 68 high school students and…
