Due process hearings provide a formal resolution for disagreements that may arise within special education. The purpose of this study was to examine the types of issues that arise in due process cases for students with emotional disturbance (ED). The current study examined select due process hearings during 2014 to 2019 from four states for…

The purpose of this study was to use a quasi-experimental design (QED) to examine the effectiveness of i-Ready Personalized Instruction on student achievement on a summative state assessment (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System; MCAS) in a year of learning disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. The study sample consisted of about 11,000…

The pedagogical approach of differentiated instruction (DI) is one way to create more meaningful learning in students. The problem explored in this study was the vague understanding around how elementary teachers perceive their preparedness for DI. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory single case study was to explore how elementary teachers…

To promote inclusive practices in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms, this research explores teacher candidates' (TCs') views and understandings of differentiated instruction (DI). The article addresses the following research questions: (1) What are intermediate-senior STEM TCs' initial views and understandings of…

The breakthrough in generative artificial intelligence (AI) has unlocked new possibilities for higher education. There are many studies on educational chatbots in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; however, studies on designing and leveraging chatbots in a multidisciplinary field like project management have been…

The digital transformation of higher education, driven by technological advancements and evolving societal needs, presents both significant opportunities and critical challenges. This study integrates the technology acceptance model (TAM), diffusion of innovations (DOI), comprehensive literature review, in-depth case studies and empirical survey…

Information technology contributes to the transformation of the learning process because it changes the traditional system of teaching, based on outdated methodologies. The paper examined the current technologies used in music education in the context of learning process improvements in China. A sociological survey was conducted using the Stapel…

This paper proposes a computer-aided teaching model using knowledge graph construction and learning path recommendation. It first creates a multimodal knowledge graph to illustrate complex relationships among knowledge. Learning elements and sequences are then used to form time sequences stored as directed graphs, supporting flexible path…

Kindergartners' math skills predict later academic outcomes. However, we know little about kindergarten mathematics instruction. Using data from 182 classroom observations in a large urban district, we explore time spent on mathematics and math content coverage. We also examine two underinvestigated aspects of kindergarten math instruction: (1)…

Writing high-quality procedural texts is a challenging task for many learners. While example-based learning has shown promise as a feedback approach, a limitation arises when all learners receive the same content without considering their individual input or prior knowledge. Consequently, some learners struggle to grasp or relate to the feedback,…

In education, the utilization of EdTech tools diverges notably between developed and developing nations, a dichotomy attributed to multiple factors like Technological Infrastructure, Digital Literacy, Digital Pedagogy, Tools, and Content. Recent research studies highlight that Generative AI's potential use and integration might exacerbate this…

This study looked at the effectiveness of differentiated learning in enhancing students' mathematical outcomes by incorporating varied content, processes, and products. Employing a mixed-methods experimental design, the research hypothesized that differentiated instruction significantly influences students' performance in mathematics exams. The…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize education by promoting personalized learning experiences and enhancing educators' efficiency. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are increasingly used by K-12 teachers for lesson planning, differentiated instruction, and automated feedback. This article examines how ChatGPT, in…

This study examines Su Haizhen's approach to learning and teaching literacy transmission using the Duxianqin single-string zither, employing qualitative methods through interviews and observations. The findings are as follows: Su Haizhen's steadfast dedication to safeguarding and proficiently disseminating the esteemed Duxianqin heritage among the…

Online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic compelled many instructors to seek efficient and effective ways to stay connected with their students and improve the learning experience by using a wide range of available technologies. This multiple-case study, in three South-East Asian universities, investigated whether the use of technology in…
