Digital technology is a part of children's everyday lives, yet very little known about teachers' perceptions and practice of cybersecurity education in primary education. This study aimed to shed light on this, focusing primarily on children's password practices. A questionnaire was distributed to primary school teachers across Scotland, with 114…

In the 21st century, virtual reality technology has developed rapidly, and many researchers are full of enthusiasm for this technology. More and more researchers are devoted to the field of scientific research and attach importance to virtual reality research. Development and application is a hot topic in today's world. Virtual reality has been…

While haptic interactions are increasingly integrated into embodied Extended-Reality (XR) educational systems, their impacts on students' learning outcomes remain underexplored. To address this gap, a comprehensive three-level meta-analysis of 25 studies (50 effect sizes) was conducted to evaluate how haptic interactions in XR learning…

Background: Training the memorization of declarative knowledge requires the repetitive presentation of various forms of factual questions to learners. Educational games designed for this purpose should offer activities that are both tailored to individual learners and varied to prevent boredom. Whilst the Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL)…

Knowledge tracing (KT) plays a key role in adaptive learning, yet traditional recurrent neural network-based methods often struggle with sparse data and overlook relationships between knowledge points. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel knowledge tracing model (KGS-KT) that integrates knowledge graphs, graph convolutional…

School curricula as well as scientific literature emphasize the need of understanding how children navigate with maps. To date, however, there is no empirically validated assessment tool for analyzing navigational map reading competencies that can be used in map-based navigation tasks in the real-world. This paper fills this gap by presenting…

Live cell imaging is a standard technique in experimental biology that enables the observation of isolated cells and tissue slices in real time and the testing of cellular responses to changes in buffer composition. However, most live cell imaging devices require the use of dedicated microscopes and/or specialised stage adaptors, and come at a…

Manual composition of tasks and exams is a challenging and time-consuming task. Especially when exams are taken remotely without the personal monitoring by examiners, most exams can easily lose their integrity with the use of previously done exercises or student communication. This research introduces an approach that incorporates the principles…

No solution can ultimately eliminate cheating in online courses. However, universities reserve funding for authentication systems to minimize the threat of cheating in online courses. Most higher education institutions use a combination of authentication methods to secure systems against impersonation attacks during online examinations.…

Improving the transition and reentry success of youth involved in the juvenile justice system requires comprehensive career development that offers access and exposure to real-world careers, builds self-efficacy, and provides instruction in skills and competencies aligned with labor market needs. This paper describes a STEM (science, technology,…

Learning computer science (CS) is increasingly becoming a necessary component of K-12 education, but in most cases, teachers do not have either the essential knowledge to teach or a curriculum to follow. In this article, we analyze the outcomes from a yearlong, blended professional development (PD) program to teach teachers game design and coding…

Online learning has provided pathways for access to flexible educational experiences, but can also feel isolating and impersonal, lacking authentic relationships with instructors and peers. Centering the discussion of humanizing distance education through the lens of three core pedagogical components of teaching and learning (i.e., instruction,…

ETS experts are exploring and defining the standards for responsible AI use in assessments. A comprehensive framework and principles will be unveiled in the coming months. In the meantime, this document outlines the critical areas these standards will encompass, including the principles of: (1) Fairness and bias mitigation; (2) Privacy and…

This scoping review addresses internationally published empirical studies on the subject of technology-enhanced creativity. The study aims to identify the types of technological tools used to enhance students' creativity and examine how technological tools can support students' creativity in K-12 music education. This review selected and analyzed…

As technology advances, virtual museums have gained popularity as a new form of learning resources. However, persuading audiences to absorb and comprehend a tremendous volume of information in an unregulated online environment is the challenge. Considering the use of an online application in educational practice, collaborative teamwork can be…
