The objective of the present study was to gain a deeper understanding of how middle-grade mathematics teachers implement questions in both technology-supported and non-technology-supported classrooms. The investigation demonstrated that in-service mathematics teachers teaching in a technology-supported classroom and in a non-technology-supported…

The focus of this study is to investigate the effects of using Web 2.0 tools in the social studies "Global Connections" learning area on students' digital literacy levels. A quasi-experimental model was used and 38, seventh graders participated the research. The digital literacy scale, created by Ng (2012) and translated into Turkish by…

In this study, we have examined gender differences in the way students relate to information and communication technologies (ICT), to learn more about their perceptions of gender-based stereotypes in this area. This study is based on the results of the 2018 International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS), specifically regarding…

This study aimed to gather middle school students' opinions on the utilization of cryptologic methods in education. Using a case study approach, data were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed with expert input. The focus was on the effects of integrating cryptologic methods within the Information Technologies and Software…

The aim of this study is to design and develop an augmented reality based mobile application (HardwARe teaching material) based on the "Computer Systems" subject outcomes in the 5th grade curriculum. In the design and development phase of the HardwARe teaching material, the design-based research (DBR) method, which is frequently…

This quantitative study examined the dynamics of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework within mathematics education, centring on the role of Contextual Knowledge (XK). The research, conducted with middle school mathematics teachers in Chongqing, China, employed structural equation modelling (SEM) to explore the…

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) in basic education, i.e. K12 education, have often been constrained by sociocultural context and limited to pedagogical aspects, and these innovations have not yet catalyzed curriculum reform as expected. To address this research gap, this study adopted a key-competence-based subject knowledge…

Digital technology has broadened educational opportunities in science, positioning gamification as a pivotal tool. However, its full potential in enhancing science education has not been thoroughly explored. Addressing this research gap, this study delves into the less examined aspects of gamification within science education. Employing a…

Empirical studies demonstrate that students have some difficulties with the mathematical modeling process. Studies contain various applications for developing students' modeling competencies. This study investigated video-based modeling tasks' impact on modeling competencies with a descriptive design. In this context, it aims to compare…

Using a Dynamic Geometry System (DGS) students can engage in a dynamic learning process that allows them to experiment, create strategies, make conjectures, argue, and deduce mathematical properties. A DGS enables the introduction of proofs, by providing visual aids. The proof of the conjectures made emerges as the next step towards formalising…

With the single descriptive case study reported on here we aimed to explore incorporating indigenous knowledge (IK) into the teaching of graphic design (GD) as a part of Grade 9 Technology lessons. Incorporating IK into GD could make the topic more meaningful -- especially for indigenous learners. The "Curriculum and Assessment Policy…

Explaining the productivity paradox--the phenomenon where an introduction of information and communication technology (ICT) does not lead to improvements in labor productivity--is difficult, as changes in technology often coincide with adjustments to working hours and substitution of labor. I conduct a cluster-randomized trial in India to…

This study examined the effects of a technology-enhanced intervention on the self-regulation of 262 eighth-grade students, employing information and communication technology (ICT) and web-based self-assessment tools set against science learning. The data were analyzed using Bayesian structural equation modeling to unravel the intricate…

This study draws on the practice of digital storytelling (DST) to address the limited use of technology in middle school multilingual classrooms. Through critical and multiliteracy frameworks, DST can help create a more engaging and inclusive learning environment that supports the literacy development of multilingual learners (MLs). After…

The Internet of Things is shifting the way people interact with each other, the way people interact with objects, and the way objects interact with each other. This reality is creating a new paradigm, where the world becomes more interconnected. In the field of Education, we are at the beginning of understanding the profound transformation that…
