Conceptual, emotional, and political challenges are entangled in environmental issues, yet science education often focuses exclusively on the conceptual dimension. To address this, we developed a design workshop to study how high-school youth could integrate all three in their creations. Specifically, we explored how youth negotiated visions of…

Distance learning has become a necessity and a common practice, using electronic devices and the Internet to facilitate online classes and exams.

The current monument guide teaching has proven to have many challenges, as the learning effectiveness may be reduced by external interference in the real guide activities, and online approaches may cause the problem of insufficient interaction. This study integrated role-playing and multi-dimensional scaffolding theories to develop a remote…

Artificial intelligence is infiltrating our lives and is also gaining ground in education. Failing to acknowledge its presence in higher education, in particular, would be ostrichism. There is a growing body of research on AI in higher education discussing its modes of use and regulatory aspects (Rajki, Nagy & Dingó, 2024; Horváth, 2024;…
