The course of development of technology, its speed in the recent period and the point it has reached have led our relationship with technology to become a necessity rather than a choice. In this respect, teaching activities that are not intertwined with technology and do not include digital elements will remain as practices that will not go beyond…

The aim of this research is to investigate the educational potential of AI-powered chatbots in Social Studies learning-teaching processes. The study was conducted using embedded design, evaluated within the framework of mixed methods research. The study group consists of 78 6th-grade students studying in three different classes, along with one…

Information and communications technology (ICT) is now widely used in education. However, the effect of ICT on the development of students' scientific higher-order thinking skills (S-HOTS) is a controversial issue in science education research. This has attracted significant attention from researchers worldwide in the field of educational…

Among a variety of language learning materials, the crucial role that coursebooks have on learning and teaching processes takes a great deal of attention in the scholarly literature. English language coursebooks have been thought of as one of the most pivotal instruments for effective and systematic language learning experiences. Therefore, it is…

Technology has impacted every aspect of modern culture, including education. The influx of educational technology in schools presents opportunities to explore ways to engage students in the learning process fully. Although students may enjoy using technology in their daily lives, it is necessary to carefully consider how these students make sense…

Pedagogical patterns aim at assisting teachers with limited teaching experience with technology-supported solutions to educational problems. In a workshop series, 13 pedagogical patterns were created by upper secondary teachers recognised for their use of technology in teaching. These patterns constitute data for a deductive thematic analysis to…

When implementing digital technologies into mathematics teaching and learning situations, new representational and communication infrastructures arise that allow for new speech acts and actions. These new speech acts and actions are also referred to as 'representational expressivity'. Such expressivity arises in the intersection of…

When talking about digital resources in secondary education classrooms in the 21st Century, we must mention tools such as Mixed Reality (MR). However, we must not only have in mind the perspective and training of teachers on their use, but we must consider that the ecologies of the classroom are becoming increasingly diverse, thus demanding an…

This study explored the integration of neural networks and artificial intelligence in image recognition for object identification. The aim was to enhance students' learning experiences through a "Learning by Teaching" approach, in which students act as instructors to train AI robots in recognizing objects. This research specifically…

The article focuses the use and reflection of explanatory videos in pedagogical contexts from an interdisciplinary perspective and with regard to teacher reflection and production processes in a joint primary school pedagogical study (with a focus on mathematical learning processes) and Catholic religion education study (with a focus on secondary…

In this paper we present an approach to employing pervasive technologies, such as IoT and mobile technologies, in secondary education. The goal is to develop a comprehensive methodology, IoT infrastructure and a mobile application that would enable secondary students to test their knowledge in interaction with a smart environment. We have…

This research presents that a closer look pertaining to learning style integrated with instructional technology within an educational setting is warranted. A better understanding of integrating instructional technology with learning styles and the impact on the learning process is possible if there is a closer look at the dynamic of…

Middle school students are faced with many challenges. Puberty, social issues, and changes in the way that they learn can cause middle school to be a difficult time. An alarming number of students enter middle school with a reading deficiency--significantly below their grade level expectation. Students who are exceptional learners or are reluctant…

In two experiments with German secondary school students (N[subscript 1] = 43; N[subscript 2] = 41), we aimed to analyze and optimize an effective learning environment. We sought further active ingredients and crucial factors for deep processing during an example-based training intervention, which consisted mainly of video examples and…

Technology is of great importance in the specification of methods, techniques and tools to be used in or out of the classrooms. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the shutdown of schools and forced the education to be maintained online which makes the research on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, to be used in learning…
