This study examined the effect of using computer simulation on students' interest in algebra. A quasi-experimental design was employed. A sample of fifty-four students (age range: 12-14 years old) drawn from two schools constituted the subjects for the study. Two JSS 2 classes in each school were assigned through balloting to experimental and…

Chemical solubility and equilibria are paramount for understanding everyday systems. Recent events have led to more interest by the general public in chemical equilibria that occur in drinking water systems. This presents a great opportunity to increase student interest and engagement in the more complicated aspects of chemical equilibria. Shiny…

The paper analyses possible reasons for the gap between teachers' actions and intentions, reported by research on practices with the use of ICT. The theoretical approach is informed by teachers' beliefs, which are discriminated in two categories: pedagogical and epistemic. A qualitative fieldwork research undertaken in eight public primary schools…

The "new digital art? genre has emerged to describe various works of art that have evolved with the development of digital technologies. In its broadest sense, digital art encompasses everything from high-end machine learning applications to the use of interactive elements in traditional media. There is also an increase in the interaction…

An introduction in the use of small unmanned aerial systems for mapping is becoming a desirable course for undergraduate students. The controllability of drone aircraft and quality cameras, even in less expensive aerial models, offers opportunities for students to learn and collect their own imagery for a variety of applications. This opportunity…

Relative quantification is a popular analysis in gene expression studies using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). However, the calculation steps using the major algorithms for this analysis are rather complicated. In this study, we developed an easy-to-use spreadsheet-based method for relative quantification. The inputs from end-users are the…

Teaching and learning involving postgraduates require a better level of instruction than at undergraduate and diploma levels. In the process of building a better understanding among postgraduate students, lecturers need to research teaching weaknesses to improve teaching quality all the time. Hence, the objective of this study was to enhance the…

This paper reports on a study which designed and developed a multi-fingered haptic interface in conjunction with a three-dimensional (3D) virtual model of a section of the cell membrane in order to enable students to work collaboratively to learn cell biology. Furthermore, the study investigated whether the addition of haptic feedback to the 3D…

Moodle software has become the heart of teaching and learning services in education. The software is viewed as a trusted modern platform for transforming learning and teaching modes from conventional face-to-face to fully online classes. However, its use for online examination is very limited despite having a state-of-the-art Quiz Module with…

Research has noted that virtual reality (VR) environments can lessen language learners' foreign language anxiety (FLA). However, previous research has relied primarily on participants' qualitative opinions, leading to a lack of studies empirically assessing how VR impacts anxiety and, consequently, second language (L2) oral production. This pilot…

The purpose of the study is to develop a model for the application of information and communication technology in the teaching of higher mathematics at the level of school education. The leading method for studying this issue is testing developed by V.E. Milman "Diagnostics of motivational structure of personality", which allows studying…

This study investigates the support provided using technology for learning the notion of normal distribution in high school students through the implementation of a teaching experiment. A strategy was designed and implemented using Fathom software as the main teaching resource. Data analysis focused on the role of the use of technology in student…

Cybersecurity best practices were the focus of this work and their use within the public school system. The problem of this study centered on the cybersecurity barriers Texas Independent School Districts faced during implementation. The educational system saw ransomware spread across the state, and without the implementation of best practices,…

A federated Enterprise Learner Record Repository (ELRR) provides the ability to look across many distributed learner records as if they were from a single source and enables the sharing of local and global learner data across the DoD. This learner data will be pulled from authoritative sources for publishing, customizing, and harmonizing…

Large-scale, classroom-based experiments using adaptive instructional software pose somewhat unique challenges for experimental design and deployment. One reason for this is that adaptive software allows students to advance through the curriculum at different rates and encounter content at different times, meaning that content targeted for…
